learn and perfect your belly stuff: fall rate, side swipes, forward/reverse, docking, burble pops, etc. basic rw skills will come in handy such as getting into your slot and staying with your group. do these for a minimum of 50 jumps before and if you decide to transition to your back and eventually freeflying. get proficient at flying on your belly and with others. its the foundation for the rest. i would also recommend not doing 5 solos. jump with others, dont be afraid to ask, we are always willing to have fun. you wont have any frame of reference doing solos as you would with a group. coach jumps are important so if you have the ability to do them, highly recommend it. learn to fly your canopy as well. can always do a high pull or two and just try different maneuvers. know what each riser does versus toggles, where you canopy stalls, descent rate, EPs, speed up/slow down, etc. can always get with a coach and ask about all that fun stuff. but most importantly, just be safe and have fun doing it. good luck to ya and congrats, blue skies.

right on, that's what i was hoping for. so far everyone ive talked to about it said its a solid suit for where im at and id be able to have enough performance out of it to keep up with bigger suits, like the strix. seems like a good suit to build a good foundation with. thanks for the input mc!

Looking to get a new Phoenix-Fly Phantom Edge ‘20 to progress into larger suits. Have been flying a phantom 2 but it’s just slightly too big on me, want a better fitting suit to really learn to fly/progress. I was wondering if anyone has flown one yet and what they liked/disliked about it versus the older models like the phantom 2/3. Can’t find too much information about it other than what’s on their website. I know it has a new wing design, gets more lift, performance, etc but want to hear first hand impressions. Thanks.

This guy actually found/pulled his reserve handle before the aad fired, was an underdetermined save according to vigil. He learned a lesson the hard way and sold that funk a week later. Just recently saw that he is in the market for a new beginner suit that fits better. And I remember him saying he just bought a new rig that is more suitable for wingsuiting than his old one. Just my .02 on that topic.
