    One is normal turbulance



    During the event in Elsinore & Eloy,
    I heard several times people talking about turbulances during flight....?:S

    As I never had the chance to feel such turbulances a part the burbles from another flyier, I would be interested to know more about this phenomena :)

    Some wingsuits simply aren’t made for flocking, and that’s all there is to it. Maybe if the flock had a greater forward speed or downward fall rate (we’re aiming for 66mph) it would be a different story. But… it’s obvious that some suits are better made for flocking than others. Bear in mind that this event is made up of some of the greatest wingsuit flyers in the world, with representatives from virtually every corner of the globe.
    Another interesting point is that some countries have teams from their area that are physically struggling with the various flocking techniques and speeds that seem to be common to the USA.

    Can you amplify on that comment - I'm not sure EXACTLY what you mean.



    I will be happy to comment on that !

    I guess that the "some wingsuits" and the "some countries" is simply S-FLY suits & France... you can say it.

    We were 5 S-Fly frogs on this event (Zun, Bertrand, MickBravo, Sylvain & me) and we struggled a bit sometimes with the lack of forward speed. I personnally had to fight during 5 jumps out of 24 & I went below the formation 3 times. ( When I was below:), I saw some other big suits falling at the same time....;)).

    We asked for more forward speed and with the good understanding & help of jeff setting it better, all of us manage to fly our slot during this event. (it was not perfect but we tried to do our best).
    It's good to fight to stay up !

    I would recommand to S-Fly holders, if they want to feel really confortable and at ease flocking in the USA, bring a tandem rigg or fix a drogue chute on your regular rigg, Deploy it once you get to your slot, it will allow you to match the perfect desired local fall rate without having to stress about getting under the "Flock" .;):ph34r::P

    We all of us had a really, really good time in Elsinore, we met so many fantastic flyers, the level was very high, everybody was so friendly, what a Great Event !

    We were proud to be there and fly with you guys, thank you everybody !

    Special thanks to Taya and Jeff fixing my small issue on tuesday, thanks to Stoney for his help, thanks to Justin, Edd & Mark for the good work.

    Hope we will make it with you next time !

    Meanwhile, come and fly in France this summer ? why not ? B|B|

    Thanks again

    I'm tired of flying with my legs on my ass and arms back just so everyone can get in the formation. I am sad to say that Yuri's description in the post above is not far off.

    People need to start flying their bodies and flying their suits faster, the way they were designed,not the other way around. I put this to the test in my group in Germany and we flew fast,very fast on most of the dives and it worked great for having consistent levels and symmetry in the formation.




    Finally it comes !!! B|B| Very Happy to read this post ! 100 % :)

    It was about time !:ph34r:

  22. Rock solid inflation, fantastic slow fall rate, perfect flight position, enough forward speed ... ?

    the real suit for flocking, what do you think ?

    they made it in the 70's.
