  1. it´s been a while since the last post, but now here are the first pictures. test flights from the plane and in B.A.S.E. environment showed, that the potential of the suit is awesome. on the first jumps at MB-italy, andi (mr. pressurized) flew easily back to the cafe. another major adavantage is, that it takes only 1 minute to assemble the rig to the suit. to be continued...

  3. some people allready know that pressurized will come up with their own wingsuit soon, here are some specs: Pressurized TRIGGER -computer aided wing/legwing design (high speed wing airfoil/high lift legwing airfoil) - back swept, 3° inclined wing for best lift distribution and easy pulling - SLS Speed Link System for fastest rig assemply - Quick wing release with semirigid easy grab - Power Airduct for best (clearest) airflow over the legwing (no additional air inlet for backspoiler) - vertical stabilizer incorporated in wingsuit - all zippers in low drag/ windprooved quality - double rib backspoiler - wide leg stance pics should be on their hp within the next 2 weeks. for all who want to place an early order: [email protected]
  4. watch this vid: http://www.skydivingmovies.com/ver2/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=3597 the filename is "cold day in the sun" it´s fun as hell to jump of a paraglider! if only one person exits the paraglider, we use a rope system to stand in and exit. it´s also possible to exit out of the passenger seat, but it´s not really comfortable! have fun and let us know how it was! DRU
  5. Yes, i know of people like that in Europe: a home-made suit, amazing flights at amazing places that nobody else is aware of... but that's pretty much it. When passion is not shared, it is dead. bsbd! Yuri. hmmm, i´m not sure but i think i know who you mean.... please pm me! DRU

    Thailand

    lucky bastard!!! we´ll drink a beer for you after our next ski-b.a.s.e. jumps! cya! DRU
  7. i think, the VKB set up is amazing and is the best for superterminal tracking. but what i can see in the vid´s, they need a lot of speed to get their set up flying like a rocket. what about lower jumps and subterminal tracking?! i don´t think their set up will work very efficient for a 600 ft cliff?! right?! i´ve also heard that the guys at pressurized are coming up with new products (tracking suit and wingsuit) the next few months. i would buy a set up, which works for everything! DRU
  8. watch the end of this vid. not a wingsuit but a cypresfire with a tracksuit. http://www.pressurized.at/website_skydive_low.wmv dru
  9. wanna see!!! when is it available?!
  10. jimmy halliday´s new movie "keen n´able" will be released soon i read on his website... check out: http://www.jimmyhalliday.com/
  11. congrats JT!!! after our jumps in italy i knew you gonna make it!!! can´t wait to see the footage... cya in winter! andY
  12. i´m not sure, but the first jumper is coombsey, second i don´t know and third is douggs with the prodigy. andY
  13. i don´t think it will work very good. there will be to much pressure on your legs and you won´t have enough power on your upper body without jacket to compensate. let us know how it was!
  14. i watched these flights from the bottom and thought "ok, nice flight". but after watching this vid i´m really stoked! very impressive! loic rulez! andY
  15. first of all i have to say, that my experiences are based on the pressurized suit. after my first year in skydiving and first impressions about BASE as groundcrew i focused on BASE skills during my following skydiving. i did normal trackdives and started soon jumping the tracksuit. i almost did 50 jumps from a plane with it. when it finally comes to my first E this year in norway, i took the FJC with elin. i told her, that for me it is safer to jump my tracksuit from kjerag. after my first jump without the suit i was allowed to jump it and i almost took it back to the landing area. i agree to what people said here: first take it from a plane and get known to the suit, than take it to BASE. andY
  16. Ok, see if you can find her site...i cant seem to find whos base site had a link to her site but she had a swiss valley video jump she did. pretty cool... you mean this one: http://www.objectjump.com go to [jumpers] you will find her right beyond stane, click BASE-documentary and you will find what you are looking for. i met her this year at the heli boogie and she and her norwegian friend took me up to voss for the ekstremsportveko... it was the time of my life...
  17. wow! really impressing... good job! thx!
  18. does anybody know the music in the vid?! i can´t read it ... DRU
  19. if you don´t try, you can´t say. give the pressurized suit 20+ jumps and read what they write about how they work. soon you will realize, that it´s NOT bigger surface that makes them fly... DRU
