  1. I've been crying for days Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies
  2. To confirm, there are NO final production suits yet. Anything that has been seen is just a variation on a prototype.
  3. Just to give all you peeps a heads up who are FnD from those that aren't. WE DON'T CARE HOW MUCH FUN YOU'RE HAVING OR HOW LITTLE IT SUCKS. Some of us are still stuck in an office and really, really, do not want to know what we're missing. Please no photo's or video or links either. Thank you.

  4. Sounds interesting. How does the $1000 break down? All slots covered, coaches time etc? Who decides who gets the Scholarship and is it location based? Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies

    That fabric looks like it could potentially cause some issues with the 3 rings? Really doesn't take a lot of force to stop them working? Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies

    So you guys are going to sell this for skydiving use? What have you done to prevent swallowed handles? Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies
  9. Yeah, it'll form part of our new 'lady' range of suits. Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies
  10. I know all there is to know. Let the bribing begin! Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies
  11. It's exactly as it sounds - a removable foam insert that can be used to make the leading edge considerably more rigid

  13. Tell me a reason why you can't have your blog about formula1 cars....... That is just a Wingsuit Blog and quite boring. We're a small minority of an already small sport. Would you prefer that we're represnted to the outside world by people who knew about wingsuiting, or someone who doesn't. It may just be video right now, but who knows what he may post up at some point as a WS resource? I'm not saying it's right or wrong, i'm just saying, actually who knows.. ooo.. look.. something shiny...

  14. I have 10 crispy US dollars that says this guy isn't even a skydiver, let alone a WSer Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies
  15. I'm pretty sure you've had all the blue and yellow fabric we have in the factory now... Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies

  19. So there I was, about to fly off to the States at Christmas, when sitting in departures it hit me - I had nothing on which to rest my beloved iPad. Having the whole first series of Gavin and Stacey to watch, and no desire to hold it all the way, I decided to buy a stand. Having a look around, however, I discovered they were all a bloody fortune, so decided not to bother and got a cuppa instead. While nearly at the bottom of my tea, the idea hit me - et voilla! I ordered up another cup of tea (well you have to really) and asked for two cups. Some careful ripping later, and there I had my super stable, light weight, and more importantly free stand.
  20. It's going very well. Tonysuits doesn't have their crap here, just PF has their suits, and I've been asked to not post video of the models I'm showing here because the Vampire 4 and the Venom are both prototypes, not production models. But...they're here. Lotsa wingsuit interest, too. And the PF air fresheners are a big hit. You got air fresheners??! Damn. Those are rarer than a phi!

  21. The pics in this thread are of prototype suits. Wait until they're released and there'll be more pics than you can handle... Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies
  22. Thank goodness. It wouldn't be a thread about new products without the obligatory brand wars
  23. Just a note, these are still prototypes, and not the final suits :) Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies
  24. The aforementioned event, I was 'overruled' by two more experienced people who did allow the (similar low experienced person) to jump and even did the FFC a few months before, knowing the low experience. We just took our group on different loads/plane to not be in the same airspace. A high deployment, bad navigation or shit exit can mean someone falls through your group. Im all for not treating anyone as babies, and someone having full say in silly or even downright stupid things he or she may wants to do. But when it adds a factor to my jump or the group Im playing LO for that makes me worry. Than Id rather skip that load. But with the BSR now in place. How does it work when you have done 1 jump elsewhere? If I throw someone fresh of AFF from a plane in a WS for 1 jump just to 'get one in'. Does that mean the person is clear of any rules the BSR has regarding wingsuit jumps? As its not an FFC. Its the 2nd flight. The UK system is very strict, yet at the same time has loopholes the size of the moon with regards to who teaches what and how. How does this 200 jump rule compare? The UK system isn't worth the paper it's written on. Make some wingsuit jumps away from a BPA DZ and you can technically do what you want when you get back. It's still down to the CCI at the end of the day, but the rules say it's possible. The sticker system here also needs some work. A long serious of jumps that used to be successfully completed with an FFC. Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies
