  1. so far from what i see i think the back deflector, (or loaded diaper) as i call it is not to effective and it will create more drag while back flying. BUY A WINGSUIT My Website Tony Suits [url "http:/
  2. Hell ya Chuck, sorry about doing donuts on your friends front lawn at least he was cool about it. Now thats hospitality. BUY A WINGSUIT My Website Tony Suits [url "http:/
  3. That is some funny shit. I am at sdc, about to jump with John " the prof." Kallend. there are a few w.s.ers out here and if Zach would get off his ass and come down here we would have one more. And Nate, you should also show up. flatspins dont feel good after you get a tooth pulled :( BUY A WINGSUIT My Website Tony Suits [url "http:/
  4. All of our suits will come standard with all of the upgrades on this current "Super Mach 1" formed leading edges , new cutaway system, ( which is more friendly with high perf. canopys), new airlocked inlets, velcroless leg zip pull ups, shoulder zips to attach wings (instead of hip zips), throat to toe body zips, If you thought our suit was easy to put on before you are in for a pleasant surprize. We are already producing this new "Super Mach 1" and it is an improvement over the original Mach 1. BUY A WINGSUIT My Website Tony Suits [url "http:/
  5. Did a gps jump just for yuri. after less than 15 jumps on the new "Super Mach 1"..............drumroll please .......7 to 1G.R. no just yankin your chain. from 11000ft to 2500ft I flew about 4 miles, not bad. Still figuring out the suit. This was my first distance run in this suit. I dialed in the speed vs. distance halfway through the flight then pushed it a little harder and lost a little performance. At about 7000ft It felt best and the gps read the same. I'll do it again and i expect better numbers. The flight was done heading south with light winds from the east, not much of a factor. I am 5'11" 190lbs out the door. THIS is a factor, alot of people post numbers without posting height and weight or wind conditions. I know for a fact if I was 4 or 5 inches taller I'd go farther, I should have drank more milk as a kid. Thank you Mike (islandguy) for use of your gps.

  6. If you are going to take advice from anyone, take it from someone who has flown each of the suits in question, extensively. Many people speculate what they think and/or have heard. The true fact is suit "A" might make body type "A" go faster forward, (more distance) and the same suit 'A' on a different body type "B" might come in second to a different suit "B" on the different body type "B". Unfortunately the only way to know is to jump each suit several times, in similar conditions, then you should know. I say unfortunately because there are alot of high performance suits now, and availability of demos are limited. BUY A WINGSUIT My Website Tony Suits [url "http:/
  7. I flew in a max glide body pos. instead of max distance just because I was not sure how I had to fly to win. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the most ridiculous phrase i have ever read on this forum ROTFL -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In Reply To -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On the second flight I went into max glide untill Robbi (who left after me) passed under me -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Im not sure exactly what you find rediculous about that Yes you are correct Robbi did pass over me and when I saw him i caught up then maintianed his forward speed while still gaining alttitude. At the end of the jump he started falling faster due to long wing tip fatigue. As far as top physicle form goes I'm far from it and I did drink heavily untill 5a.m. the night before the comp. so I did not have any strenth advantage, quite the opposite. And like I said in my previous post I'm a back flyer and do not have as much time on my bellie as someone with half of my jumps. I do not post numbers because I jump with people not computers. I have nothing to hide, just havent justified spending the money on a G.P.S. I'm patiantly waiting on a system someone is developing to see glide ratio, we'll see if it works I'm not sure where you are getting your MACH 1 data from, and I'm not sure you have flown both suits extensivly (like I have). I can say for sure having the experience of flying almost every suit on the market I could not have won in any but the MACH 1. I can say I will never tire when it comes to math because that is my favorite subject. And im not sure about the prodigie out flying many other suits having flown it, it does fly nicely Im not sure when I will be in Eu. but I will get there and look forward to skirting a cliff wall. and I look forward to jumping with loic that would be great as you can see im just not to sure today about anything, so its beer time mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.........................

  8. Not exactly correct. It should be "V2s are speed and glide demons, M1 gives you a huge wing and is easy to fly at low vertical and horizontal speeds". Nothing can currently match V2 for glide, period. I'm sorry my friend but this is not true. A mach 1 does fly a farther distance I can say this by having the experiance of flying both suits. The suit was designed to keep up with any suit while on its back
  9. O.K. just to clairify this as everyone thinks the race to be an endurence challenge. This is not true I am not in great shape I smoke and drink lots, don't exercise, eat shitty foods half the time and backfly on more than 95% of my jumps (the entire time). So my chest muscles are not that strong. It was the design of the suit that makes it possible to fly for 3 and a half minutes without getting that tired. As for Robbi going the furthest on the first jump, I flew in a max glide body pos. instead of max distance just because I was not sure how I had to fly to win. On the second flight I went into max glide untill Robbi (who left after me) passed under me then I went into max forward speed and was able to match Robbies forward speed while still gaining altitude on him. At the end he started falling faster due to the long wing tip grippers putting to much strain on his muscles. If I had gone into max forward speed right from the getgo I would have gone much farther. On a side note jumping with Robbi was an honor and was probably one of the most memorable jumps I've done. I can't wait till we jump again. And this endevor in no way was meant to hurt Robbies business. When I started wingsuit flying I could not believe that every skydiver did not wingsuit fly. So I kept asking people and got the same reaction from everyone so I set out to design a suit that I felt everyone would fly. At the time I didn't care about better performance it just went in that direction almost on its own. The vindication for me was when all the people that said they would never fly a body bag started flying our suits. Now I am taking that to another level and putting people with as little as 100 jumps through a 4 jump pass or fail wingsuit coarse and so far I am having success. This is done with our student flyer wingsuit that is available for $400.00, and we will buy this suit back for $300.00 credit torward any of our wingsuits when you are ready. This suit can be used as tracking pants, a camera jacket, or a wingsuit. What a deal
  10. put foam peanuts in your wings, just make sure you can pull BUY A WINGSUIT My Website Tony Suits [url "http:/

  15. The only correct answer is Reynolds Wrap is great for cooking, alot less clean up, as I hate doin dishes
  16. I would like to thank every one that showed up for flock n dock 3.0, this event would not be a success with out you. This year their were very noticeable improvements in everyones skill level as well as alot of new pilots. It was an honor to jump with Robbi and I look forward to jumping with him again in the near future. Scott Bland, sorry for the burble I wont let it happen again, your expression was priceless.............. well maybe I'll do it one more time. Flock n dock 3.5 is going to be sweet. "given the difference in body size of Jeff and Rob....Rob kicked much ass if he was that close...Jeff is a lightweight!" I've got to say it Mark, your a "Prick of misery"! Also Robbi was flying a prototype and I was flying a production Mach 1. We were also flying for distance which is all Robbi does, I do not have any cliff walls to measure distance so that was new for me and the extra 2 inches Robbi has on me helped him out as well. Despite all of that the Mach 1 was still able to fly farther than Robbi's V proto as well as having more lift, even on its back.
  17. yes, we are getting wingsuits out super fast, we also line the arm's with mesh now, much easier to put on, I think BUY A WINGSUIT My Website Tony Suits [url "http:/
  18. You've seen the pooper haven't you? I'm bittin my tongue on that one, stuck my ass out the door and exited when we landed someone said "wtf was that exit and "the pooper" just popped out. Now almost every dive I'm asked if I'm "poopin it". BUY A WINGSUIT My Website Tony Suits [url "http:/
  19. Just a slight change I will be at Elsinore the 20th and 21st then at Perris on the 22nd and 23rd and I'm bringing over 30 demo wingsuits, doing free first jump wingsuit coarses and free coaching from beginner to advanced, so I hope to see you there.

  20. I'll be eating alot of beens and brockley so I can out pop everyone, oops I mean out poop everyone. After all, I did come up with the pooper exit BUY A WINGSUIT My Website Tony Suits [url "http:/
  21. Agreed, you can get a 39 mph average out of a Phantom. The simple fact is wingsuit performance is varied in the same suit depending on the weight and height, as well as exp level. Perfect example Flora, Tony's daughter in an aerobat (with less than 30 ws jumps)can "almost" keep up with me in a Mach 1. She is my height and 40lbs lighter. Perry who weighs 135 has to fly almost entirely shut down in a flock, so Perry should be able to leave me standing still in a Mach 1 BUY A WINGSUIT My Website Tony Suits [url "http:/
  22. Besides, imagine how much fun you could have using the term in videos that were watched by germans. "And here, Chuck is poppen up on Jeffro--those STUPID Americans..." _______________________________________________ Nice
  23. Just to clairify, Chuck exited on his belly (in a Blade) and me under him on my back (in a Mach 1), as we flew along the Mach 1 was clearly getting more lift and more forward speed while still on its back. When we where on our bellies together the Mach 1 had even more range vertically and horizontally. Chuck at one point did a fast 90 degree turn, made some separation and punched it out, I had no problem closing the gap. The Blade is the same size as our Raptor. The difference being a Raptor has shorter wing tip grippers and a straight trailing edge, where as the Blade has V1 lenth grippers and scalloped wings making the effective surface area nearly identacle. The legwing "width" is identicle but the Raptor's legwing legth is a couple of inches longer. We started out with longer wing tip grippers and found they caused more fatigue, so we shortened them and moved the suface area to the wing root. This made the suit easier to fly and led to longer flights. I am 5'11", 190lbs. out the door and have flown the Raptor for 182 seconds from 13,500ft. to 2,500ft. I have done 204 seconds in a Mach 1.
