  1. well thanks guys for all the responses. i am interested in getting better swoops hence the need for a longer recovery arc. ive demoed the mamba and did notice a much longer recovery arc than my sams. i guess what i need to do is just demo the three crossfire,mamba and katana.. then go from there. Thanks again
  2. hello all. im interested in possibly purchasing one of these canopies. or another with a longer dive than i seem to be getting out of my samurai 135. Any input about these two canopies (or another) would be great. my wing loading is 1.7, and ive got hundreds of jumps on Samurai's. Thanks
  3. i would love to find a cheap used suit but have'nt had any luck as of yet. i'm 6'1" 220Ibs if anyone can help with that thanks
  4. I have 2 wing suit jumps about two years ago. They were at Skydive AZ holiday boogie. I believe the suit was a classic or classic 2 and i was instructed by a bird man instructor although i forget his name at the moment and don't have my log book handy to reference. I feel the training i had received was very good. it has been a while and will definitely get some refresher training one way or another before my next wing suit jump.
  5. I want to purchase my first wing suit but i cant decide on which suit/manufacturer to go with. I was thinking either a BM GTI, Phoenix fly phantom or acro, or a Tony Raptor. These are just the ones i thought i would like not exactly sure of the benifits of each. any suggestions would be great THANKS
  6. The ad for the firebolt canopy states that it has a bottom layer constructed of PN-1, for smaller pack volume and strength. What is this PN-1? ive heard that it is another name for f-111, is this true? also ive heard that it may just be a lower porosity material but not f-111. if any one can help me with this question it would be appriciated . thanks
  7. does anyone know who to contact for demo gear rentals, and if so how thanks
