  3. We did a few jumps with the spanish redbull team in Empuria...they were quite happy with the vertical/forward speed... I was flying 2 meters above them... didn't look like they were suffering !

    The way we see this sport is not just to hang up in the air feeling relax, we like to fight a bit to stay tight together...purist or not...this is the way we feel it;)

    Just come with us for a few jumps...nothing more

    and if you want to experience something strong, go and find Fred & Vince from Babylon, have a jump with them...:P it might give you a better understanding of what we are looking for.

  8. "Deug" is an university degree in France (two years studies)
    "Deg" is the nickname of Patrick "DE G"ayardon.

    I know, most people make this mistake.

    Yeah, but we were talking about body position... arms in the back !

    see you then:)

    I'd also sure like to think that if PdG were still around, he'd be flying suits (still) for maximum flight value rather than being a lawn dart aiming for the ground with forward speed.



    Not very sure about that, but still.... we just love it this way

    some of us have no problem with the "down."



    In this case, it's more a problem of 'staying back'

    Come over to Europe, new experiences.....B|

    But I heard several people comment on having to collaps almost all their wing to fly with the formation.



    When you collaps your wings, I have the feeling it's due to too much drag...I experienced it with my Blade...
    In Corbas, we increased the speed jump after jump, it was very interesting..! but difficult to stay in the Flock for large wing suits.

    when will you guys start using the arm-wings more


    We always refer to the original body position of Patrick de Gayardon... Make sense ?

    the fallrates are quite fast/steep



    TrueB| it gives you forward speed

    1- We like it this way
    2- allows every one to be there despite their weight (no extra fabric needed)
    3-more speed, more accurate

    Come over and try one day for a change... bring your shadow !

    After Corbas, we also had this

    Even more fast/steep fallrate...so good


    Next meet in Brienne mid July and also the very special WS week in switzerland end of Agust (Locarno, Eiger & Mountain Gravity):)

    Distances were verified by the Navigator on the aircraft using the aircrafts GPS from the time Ben exited and the GPS coordinates were taken from the exact spot he landed at.



    so how can we be sure he didn't deploy & ride his canopy very early like at 25 000 ft....strange !:S
