"Wait until your really scared, count to 2, then pull Seriously, 689 gives some great info....what he said" That's why I was just joking.... I agree its BS, but I'm in a sarcastically pissy mood today, sorry to let it bleed over into these forums. Stay safe Blair

I haven't had to use mine in an emergency situation, but I had a zipper hangup one time after a nice flight, normal opening, so I used the LQRS to free my legs. I wouldn't buy a WS without one, but I also wanna BASE fly one day. Later Blair

Johnny, I have a 100" bridle on a Mirage G3 and havn't experienced what your'e talking about...doesn't mean it can't happen, just hasn't to me. I think you have a Javelin?? You maybe able to send it to Sunpath for some dynamic corners, or if its a Mirage, Gus has the directions from the company, and has already measured and marked my container, he'll do some cutting for me this weekend, only takes a minute.

Dangers of flying a still camera in a BirdSuit?
blair700 replied to Deuce's topic in Wing Suit Flying
I've only worn my still on a flattop pro for wingsuits, but usually just fly a vid on a side mount. Out of the 46 flights I've made, I have only 5 with the still setup, and the only problem is that meganon-aerodynamic block on my head slows my fat arse down even more I believe you are an accomplished camera flyer right? Once you master the wingsuit I doubt you'd have much trouble combining the two. Later Blair -
....um, I guess that's one way to fix the 'problem', damn that's scary, karma is a bitch too.

what canopy do you use for wingsuitflying ?
blair700 replied to lazyfrog's topic in Wing Suit Flying
Vengence 150 loaded at 1.56:1. I have almost 50 GTI flights with this setup, have had severe line twist a couple of times, and all but once the canopy flew straight through the twists. I love the way the canopy flies, but I don't feel its the 'ideal' set up for Birdman jumps. Unfortunately, I have to do alot more tandem videos than I get to fly my wingsuit, so I love to swoop the Vengence, but I trade it out right for a Saber2 or Saffire2 in the 170ish range. I'm not qualified to offer instruction or advice, but I'd tend to agree with the other folks comments regarding which canopy for your first flights. Open high, have fun. Later Blair -
Congrats SBS, I had an ACL replacement last August. Make sure to do ALL your PT and you'll be good as new!! I've made over 100 skydives and almost 40 BASE jumps since my surgery, after being 'off' for almost 9 months Good luck and heal quickly!!! Blair TAKE ADVANTAGE of the sponge baths!!!!!

I own a 110, but I've seen the 120 in action. Personally, its not a 'functionality' issue for me, I like the better quality video it allows. Blair
