Dude.....me you and Ryan could totally do a big way.........with the three of us Let's see, your what like 350 out the door, Ryan is we'll call it the same and I am a measely 265 = 965 lbs. Daaaaaaaaaaamn that's like half a ton, it could be the smallest big way!! I would like to point out that I would be the smallest person on this dive, it doesn't happen often. I'll be down over Thanksgiving....Holla. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

True dat. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

So your friend wants to have a malfunction (very high stress situation) and then all of a sudden be under the smallest canopy he has ever flown possibly over trees, water, or other unfamiliar territory. I just want to make sure I have the facts right. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

I enjoyed the hell out of the Optimum as a main for wingsuiting. I had a 143 loaded at around 1.7ish. No matter how trashy you packed it, sweet, butter soft 300 to 400 foot openings. Made decent penetration into the wind, and since there were diveloops available, I found you could get a decent swoop out of that thing. The long term is still under review, I have talked to some people in the know and they seem to believe this particular weave of F111 will last far longer than previous F111. That said, you would have to buy it as a reserve and then get a rigger to mod it to be a main. As for the terminal openings there were no problems, used the stock reserve slider the entire time (wingsuit and freefall). However with a w/s terminal deployment is not usually an issue. So until the long-term wear and tear is determined, I upsized to a Sabre 2 135 for w/s. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

Hey if any of you flockers know of a big guy suit (6'2" about 235 lbs, big in the chest and shoulders) I'd appreciate the hookup and will make rum drinks. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

My wingsuit comes in the following weekend.....ain't that a bitch. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

Went to Costco today and got one each assload of pain. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

Fine, fuggit pain it is..........All I wanted to do was spread some holiday cheer with a gallon or two of rum, but I GUESS WE'LL JUST DO EVERYTHING YOU WANNA DO!!!! This is going to hurt.........isn't it. I never learn, I never learn, I never learn. I will not drive the golf cart into the pond, I will not drive the golf cart into the pond, I will not be the last fucker at the bar EVERY night, I never learn, I never learn, I never learn. Chuck Blue and his Jewish beer are evil. Someday I will learn. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

Pain hurts, I'm bringin' rum and for all those brave enough we will find where the rum goes when it is gone. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

That's good to know, I and many like me thought "The Lady Flyer" was the entire package, did not realize it was just the cut of the body. THAT'S SWEEEEEEET!! Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

I try. I just want this person to do well, I've heard way too many people incorrectly state that because a canopy is lightly loaded or "big" it (the canopy) will save a pilot from injury. This is just not true, the pilot flying the canopy will save the pilot from injury. Something that a lot of people don't think about when downsizing canopies (even just one size) is not only does the canopy fly/ respond faster.......malfunctions happen faster, the ground comes at you faster, and if you have to land in someones postage stamp back yard due to an emergency bailout you run out of space faster.

Yep, that's right I might consume, have a few, indulge, over-indulge, have a nip, take a sip, slam one, down one, sink one, gulp, guzzle, hammer one down, sip, slug, drain, put a few away, quaff (don't get that one confused), swig, ingest, knock a few back, soak, marinade, pickle or get on the sauce and in moments of weekness I've been known to imbibe.....but I never drink. Actually, and of course I'll leave it to the powers that be (not me) that'd be kind of a cool fundraiser at Thanksgiving. At registration or whatever give out a list of synonyms (words that mean the same) for the word drink (or any of its other forms: drinking, drinks, drinker, etc) plus a $10 roll of quarters and if any person is caught/ heard saying thw word drink after the beer light comes on (jumping is done for the day) they have to throw a quarter in the drink jar (can, bottle whatever). In the morning count it up and give the proceeds to whatever charity (booies, animals, cancer, Jerry's Kids). This is just an idea, and since I'm 550 miles away I call not it. Really it could be the biggest game of quarters ever. There are people better at this shit than me. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

Your questions are not stupid at all....my first BMI was a woman/chick/lady and what I found is that she focused more on technique, that is how to properly position your body as a whole as opposed to forcing your arms or legs to perform independant actions. Robbie from Phoenix-Fly will tell you that the key to flying his suits is to relax, if you're fatigued you are doing something wrong. Tony and or Jeffro will probably have similar advice (I'm just going on what they told me). I have just the opposite problem as you, I'm a tall fat boy 6'2" and around 235 lbs. (118kilos I think), I and my fellow fat flyers definately rely more on technique to stay with a flock. Seek out one of the Lady Birds and I'm sure you will be flying proud in no time.

My W/S gets in on November 19th and I wanna get my flock on. I'll be hauling down from ATL on Wednesday the 21st for four days of bafoonery, jackassery, and high level nig noggery. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

Yeah, what he said Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

I know that guy!!! Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

Sabre II is definately the way to go, however don't think for a second that you can't do yourself harm because it is a Sabre II. If your intention is to explore canopy flight/ high performance canopy flight please do yourself a favor and take whatever canopy you are currently flying and attend several canopy courses find Scott Miller, seek out the Fast Trax folks, contact Ian Drennan who is a moderator for this forum, take some basic or essentials courses from the PD guys. DO NOT try to figure it all out on your own, in the long run you will spend more money and you can seriousl injur/ kill yourself. I know there are some die hards that say you should never pay for coaching.....put that out of your head, you want to explore a discipline with very narrow margins that provides extremely high personall reward, do it right.

Sooooooo who won the the coloring contest?? Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

Then by all means let the jackassery begin followed by the buffonery, and then inevitably the crippling sound of listening to yourself blink as you try desperately to identify whom or what you wound up sleeping with as your breath peels the wall paper back and you cut loose a fart that could knock a turkey buzzard off a shit wagon. Entertaining is an understatement. (In true skydiver fashion this statement can equally be applied to members of either sex) Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

C'mon turtle you didn't take me seriously that I wasn't gonna show didja. I'll be there.......................................in the middle of the hangar..................................staring out at you....................................naked...............................wearing only a cockring and a smile. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

I've been wanting to find an excuse to come out to Chester, but like Spence said, kinda way to short notice. I'll be flockin' in Zhillz Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

Me too. I need a big fat suit. Nick and I will be in Friday morning from Tampa, so if anyone wants to catch us on the fly at around 9 am from Tampa to Z-Hillz for a little gas money speak up. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

From a performance standpoint, I have found the Katana to be more twitchy and body position sensitive on opening than either the Sabre II or my Velocity. In my experience more than one twist gets spinny/divey in a hurry. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

Sorry about the geographical error, I just think it would be huge if that could actually be pulled off. If for no other reason to stand in front of the dropzone sign of the IPC sans pants with ass akimbo and send that picture to the Dublin, Ga city council. I mean if that doesn't say "Fuck you we got something better", I just don't know what does. Of course the weather can be dodgy that time of year, but screw it let the jackassery begin.
