Speaking of Norm Kent ... he walks up to me while I’m standing next to Scott and Chris Gray. Norm asks if he can take some pictures and I say (jokingly of course), “No, I don’t think so”. You should have seen the look on Scott and Chris’ faces! Priceless. Scott HAHA...I was thinking who the hell do you think you are telling Norman Kent not to take pictures...but I knew you were kidding. Anyway, thanks so much Scott, the Z-Flock, Robi, Morpheus, Nylon City, and Z-Hills for a kick ass event. I hope you guys like having me around because I am damn sure coming back soon!!! See ya at F&D 3.5 this fall. -CG- WSI-6 / PFI-55 The Brothers Gray Wingsuit Academy http://www.myspace.com/cgwingsuitpilot http://www.myspace.com/thebrothersgray

WOW...What a great boogie!!! It has already been said but the organizing, the people, the aircraft, the vibe were all awesome. Thanks to everyone who had a hand in putting this together. It was great meeting new bird people. Lets do it again!!!

I'm getting measured for my Mach One Eleven tomorrow and will have it within one week. Yep. I also just ordered a Tony Aerobat suit and took about 2 weeks and that was with a custom embroidery on the suit too. Tony suits rocks. Thanks Jeff & Tony!!! -CG- WSI-6 / PFI-55 The Brothers Gray Wingsuit Academy http://www.myspace.com/cgwingsuitpilot http://www.myspace.com/thebrothersgray

Awesome video! I have already sent it to many friends. It definitely speaks to the inner birdman. We can just asume the ending was happy. :) -CG- WSI-6 / PFI-55 The Brothers Gray Wingsuit Academy http://www.myspace.com/cgwingsuitpilot http://www.myspace.com/thebrothersgray

So, tell us already....what suit did you order? -CG- WSI-6 / PFI-55 The Brothers Gray Wingsuit Academy http://www.myspace.com/cgwingsuitpilot http://www.myspace.com/thebrothersgray

I was curious about this too. After doing some research it appears the Etrex Vista & Etrex Summit are excellent choices as they both have altimeters. There is also a software app called Jumpmaster that looks helpful in gathering jump data. Is anyone using Jumpmaster or any other app that works well? -CG- WSI-6 / PFI-55 The Brothers Gray Wingsuit Academy http://www.myspace.com/cgwingsuitpilot http://www.myspace.com/thebrothersgray

Texas in July...sounds hot but alot of fun regardless. Hey Islandguy...whats with the .5 increment numbering system? Are you eluding to a bi-annual Flock & Dock event??? :) -CG- WSI-6 / PFI-55 The Brothers Gray Wingsuit Academy http://www.myspace.com/cgwingsuitpilot http://www.myspace.com/thebrothersgray

Hey Z-Flock!! Where is the next big event after the Flock & Dock? I saw notice of something at Eloy & Chester, SC coming up soon.

Well, this is all good information. I agree with Islandman & ScaryPerry on their comments. ScaryPerry actually did my first WS training with a Prodigy suit. I agree mostly with Chuck but wanted to add to it. First, I think that the 200 jump guideline is a good one but like any guideline there will be people who are ready earlier and later than that. I think an understanding of WS deployment and practicing it on a tracking suit is a 1st step to the transition. I happened to have 155 jumps for my first Prodigy and 185 jumps for my first GTI flight. Second, like all things the Prodigy has pros and cons. It gives up some ease of flight for greater arm & leg mobility to make deployment and landing easier and to make the suit much easier to put on. Chuck is right that the arm wings are a bit small to balance with the extra wide leg wing. The other thing is that unlike a full WS its wings rely solely on the tension you put on the wing to produce lift so the suit takes more muscle to fly it. I personally found it a good first WS to jump and despite being strenuous on the arms it was a blast to fly. My final advice is to continue your WS deployments on the tracking suit and then get with an instructor who can evaluate your skill before flying the Prodigy. Goodluck and you're going to love flocking!!! -CG- WSI-6 / PFI-55 The Brothers Gray Wingsuit Academy http://www.myspace.com/cgwingsuitpilot http://www.myspace.com/thebrothersgray

No problem about the name confusion, Scott. I meet over 50 new people at the PR boogie and I couldn't keep all the names straight either. It also is tough having so many people named Scott in the flock! haha -CG- WSI-6 / PFI-55 The Brothers Gray Wingsuit Academy http://www.myspace.com/cgwingsuitpilot http://www.myspace.com/thebrothersgray

I must agree totally. It was a great boogie. Jason & Viviana put on a great event. All you WS guys from Z-Hills were alot of fun and we look forward to the Flock & Dock! Blue Skies and Fluffy Clouds! -CG- WSI-6 / PFI-55 The Brothers Gray Wingsuit Academy http://www.myspace.com/cgwingsuitpilot http://www.myspace.com/thebrothersgray

I also got to fly a Tony Wingsuit in PR. It was the Aerobatic suit and I loved it. I am a newbie to WS but the suit let me jump right in on some flock dives and really was a joy to fly. In addition to a great performing suit it is easier to gear up than other brands. I look forward to trying the Raptor and/or the Mach 1 before I order a suit. -CG- WSI-6 / PFI-55 The Brothers Gray Wingsuit Academy http://www.myspace.com/cgwingsuitpilot http://www.myspace.com/thebrothersgray

Puerto Rico was awesome for the third year in a row. The worst part was returning to the winter wasteland of home. Thanks Jeff, Scotty, Scott, Matt, & all the other wingsuit guys for a great time and truely awesome flocks over the beachs of PR. You guys made my brother, Scott, & I feel very welcome into your group. Hope to join you for Flock & Dock! -CG-
