Yeah I've seen the suits that the Alchemy and Dave are wearing and many others that are out there. This is one of the reasons I decided to get some input. I appreciate all of the input. I do believe I'm gonna tighten up a little bit, because it creates a challenge when transitioning and I believe it will give me a better chance to fly my body.

***Baggier suits don't necessarily mean slower fall rates. The more drag the harder it is to get your legs wide enough to control fallrate nicely. So for somebody my size, it's not necessary to have a freefly suit that large enough for me and a small supermodel. Which is about what I'm flying now. I used to fly in just freefly pants and long sleeve t's, but during the winter months I needed my suit. I want something that is year round.

I've got a question about freefly suits for all the freefliers in the house. I know that when learning to freefly I was always told that baggy suits were needed to slow down your fallrates and for stability. As the sport has progressed, the majority of freefliers I see with experience in the sky are wearing tighter fitting suits. What does anyone out there think about someone about 185lbs and is 6'1. I've always had baggy suits, but it appears that the norm has changed. Does a tighter suit give the flyer a better feel of one's air?

I am finally getting my pc-101 ready for takeoff, but have a question. Are there any brands of wide angle lens that are superior to the rest, or will any of them do? I was looking at a .45, but I've seen footage on some peoples cameras before that looked like the footage was recorded through a tube. I don't want that.

I got a demo vengence in and put a few jumps on it, but you wanna know what I bought? Crossfire 2! This is my second Crossfire and I love it better than the first. As far as PD's customer service is concerned, I have a really good friend that bought a new sabre 2. His first jump on it, smacked him and broke 2 lines. PD's responce was that it was the containers fault and they wouldn't cover the repair. 1st jump!

In 1987 Nelson was sentenced to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to running an international drug smuggling ring. Why does someone feel it neccessary to include this in the description of Roger Nelson's death? Is it common for to bash the credentials of the deceased? There should be nothing but praise for the work this man has done for our sport and the Dropzone that he set out to create. My condolences to Rook and Missy, our hearts are with you.

So you actually know some guys who fly these? Have you messed around with them any, and are they as small as they appear? You are the first person who knew what I was talking about when I mentioned a dvp3 or 7.

I am looking for some advise about Sony vs JVC. I have been looking at JVC's dvp3 and dvp7 because they are so tiny, but everyone at my DZ says go with sony. Why? They never have that answer. Is there anyone out there who has owned a JVC and has had problems?

I have been in the market for a camcorder and have heard many people tell me to always go Sony, but when asked if they have ever owned a JVC they say no. Is there anybody out there who has owned a JVC? If so, what is your opinion? I am looking at one of the new dvp3 or dvp7, because they are so small.

You can't go wrong with an altimaster!

I'm not to sure about some of the wal-mart or k-mart bags. It's gonna depend on how much gear you've got. My last wal-mart bag started tearing form the wight in a month, but don't go to a luggage place. Just shop around.

I had a friend recently suggest adding a 9 ft bridle on my new wings that is being manufactured. Is there any truth behind this?

I really appreciate everybodies input! Blue Skies

I'm jumping a demo samurai 120 right now, but was considering another crossfire since i'm used to the flight characteristics.

Just over 500 with about 275 on the 139
