Sinister replied to Sinister's topic in Wing Suit Flying

I'll forward him the info. But I must say that I always thought it is a horrible name for a tracking suit. Shane Murphy www.adrenalinegeeks.com

Your wingsuit canopy (please read the first post before vote)
Sinister replied to tdog's topic in Wing Suit Flying
Haha I hate to pick fights with people but that is some dumb ass shit to say. There could be newbees reading your post and getting un safe advice. I jump a extremley fast and highly loaded braced experimental canopy and I am very very comftorble flying it I am allways pushing it to new limits and I feel comftorble to fly it in all situations except Wingsuit jumps. I have a dedicated wingsuit rig with dynamic corners, a reserve as my main a large hole slider, 9' bridle, and a vented 36" PC. the reason I chose to jump this configuration is because it is safer and built for the task. The canopy opens in 200' so I can open lower it allways opens on heading, the 9' bridle helps further ensure that my PC will reach clean air, The PC is larger to ensure it grabs as much air as possible and is vented to reduce ocilation, the container has dynamic corners to ensure the bag does not spin when coming out of the container. For most wingsuit pilots the body position of their deployment is far different from a freefly or RW jump. I personaly don't shut down my wingsuit and go in to vertical freefall prior to deployment I pull in full flight and keep flying till I am under my canopy. Just FYI this is all coming from someone who is not a saftey paraniod guy. I have had no chops and I have done some crazy things like deploying head down, deploying while back tracking ect. But I chose not to deploy a HP canopy at 2000' while flying a wingsuit. Shane Murphy www.adrenalinegeeks.com -
Transition from rear risers to toggles
Sinister replied to phoenixlpr's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
Good advice from Spizzzarko as allways. Here is what I have to add. Ok so here is the deal you are not going to slow to be using your rears. You do not have to be hauling ass to use your rears knowing how to use them in all flight speeds is vital to know if you ever want to compete (when the time comes for you, you will know why). You did hold on to them for too long but more importantly you were too deep in them, rears are used to trim the wing out not create lift (that is a job for the toggles) here are some things you can review rears trim out your canopy to level flight and maintain speed. If you use too much rears you expose the bottom of the canopy which will slow you down very fast (watch your video you can see what I mean) the canopy is pointed up exposing the bottom of the wing which becomes a gian brake. what you want to do is trim the canopy out to level flight not more than that just before you begin to sink out you need to transfer to toggles. if you are too deep in rears or rode them too far you will see the tail of the wing snap back up just before you flare and you can usualy hear a pop/thunk sound indicating that you did either (listen to your video you can hear it) I hope this helps you. keep it up be safe and ask questions you are on the right track Shane Murphy www.adrenalinegeeks.com -
It is low res so it is kind of hard to see but the deployment is pretty simple. http://www.atairaerospace.com/press/heli-chute_video_large.html Shane Murphy www.adrenalinegeeks.com

Ok well this is not a round and it is not a square but it is one of my favorites just because of how interesting the design is and how low the pack volume is (look at the 2nd pic to see what I mean) Shane Murphy www.adrenalinegeeks.com

I know what you mean I just moved in to my new place w/ a balcony in a very high place :) shortest way to my car is just a step away. Some might say I am spoiled I'd say I agree Shane Murphy www.adrenalinegeeks.com

Not to be a dick but that information is incorrect you can reach the risers not as easily granted but if you are going to hit a wall in a second you can reach them I can do this in my MTR3 as well I can post some inside POV video later if anyone would find it usefull Shane Murphy www.adrenalinegeeks.com

JVX Pack - How Tight is TOO Tight?
Sinister replied to NewClearSports's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
that is why you still chop your main before deploying the reserve Shane Murphy www.adrenalinegeeks.com -
I like the fact the guy at the end has his fingers through the carabeaner looks like a good way to lose a finger to me Shane Murphy www.adrenalinegeeks.com

Not nearly as high Shane Murphy www.adrenalinegeeks.com

Not on the site yet contact your local dealer for more details. you can also check out www.wydiproductions.com for some pics Shane Murphy www.adrenalinegeeks.com

Nope never jumped the glsxf not really interested in it from my understandings it is just a xf2 with different trim and soma sail material the Neos is a much different canopy Arc bracing, true leading edge of the wing, heading stability controll, presurixed stabilizers it is in my opinion not even comprable they are two different beasts I have seen some amazing things being done on the Neos latley. My advice to someone who is looking at buying one of two canopies is to jump both and decide for themselvs opinions are just that opinions people all fly differently no matter how much they all think they fly alike. Eddited to add: You can only revize the same technology so much until you have to come up with something new if you are looking for something more than an xf2 get something more than an xf2 or learn to pilot what you currently fly better if you can't make the commitment to steping it up yet.

You want the canopy to recover under it's natural arch you do not want to force it out of a dive as you will lose energy created by your dive. However it is true you can use your rear risers to assist the plane out, this practice is used by experienced pilots and if your profile is correct I would highly urge you not to use this practice or be preforming any type of high performance turn on landing for that matter. At this stage in your canopy piloting skills it is important to get advice from a trusted Canopy flight instructor at a DZ not on the internet. Reading Brian Germain's book is a good start though. Below I have posted a link to a video that demonstrates what can happen to you if you start swooping too early or don't know how to bail out of the corner. http://www.skydivingmovies.com/ver2/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=4323 Be Safe Shane Murphy www.adrenalinegeeks.com

Neos is the way to go for canopy flight and swooping just demo one and you will know. Shane Murphy www.adrenalinegeeks.com
