  1. Just to show you an alternative design to make you think (it's not my design btw - talk to Renier at Ram Air)

    Fits under the leg wing, cutaway on inside of leg works whilst wing is zipped up + the whole thing has a couple of foot leash around your ankle) on it so if you do cut away it doesn't fall into a crowd killing a bazillion people (BPA requirement)

    And the smoke canister is a nice distance away from the wingsuit.

    And you can remove the smoke canister and mount a go pro...

  3. looking at the photo a comment might be made about how the lines don't look like they are under tension, this will then be made to sound like an issue with semi stowless bags.

    Sooo - here is a photo from a deployment with a standard bungeed bag.

    Anyone having issues with theirs locking on GPS? I've had mine for a few years and in the last year or so I'm having terrible luck with it locking signal. I turn it on at the DZ in the morning before jumping to be sure it gets a lock. I turn it on at 9k on the way up in the plane and most of the time it doesn't get a lock until I'm at 10-9k on the way DOWN.


    Yep - I've noticed a definite increase in the time mine takes to get a lock (etc). I was jumping with one of my friends and his was noticeably quicker at getting a lock than mine despite me doing all the warm up procedure on the ground etc etc. I lost maybe a third of a jumps data on that one :(

    And it's been happening quite a bit for maybe the last year. I'm also getting patchy tones out of mine - sometimes it will just cut out mid jump and then chime back in 10 seconds later with a sound like a sound effect for a dying plant (tricky to describe...)

    Mine is a version one though so when I get some cash I'm going to replace it..

    Mr cat thanks for ghost offer, but think I will be a ghost if wife finds another wingsuit. ;)



    Doh - just worked out who you are !!

    Is that Matt's V4? Is he lending you the V5 when that arrives???

  16. Yes, I was aware of that but it is inaccurate.

    I am waiting for a suit - when I placed the order the site showed a 16/18 week lead time. As you say it now shows a 14/16 week lead time. Will my suit take 18 weeks or will it take 14 weeks?

    When I ordered my V4 last year they had a 4/5 week lead time, but then by the time my suit should have been ready it had changed to 10 weeks..

    Maybe I should have said "suits ordered the week ending... are shipping now" ??

    No reason why both the current lead times and the current order dates being shipped couldn't be there if PF chose to do so.

    Anyway - just a suggestion :)

  17. Just a suggestion but how about including on the website the current order date range that you are working on.
    so lets say you were currently producing p3s with confirmed orders placed the week ending march 20th then if I'd ordered a p3 the first week in april I know it will be roughly 2 weeks before mine goes into production.

    if as mentioned above 40/50 emails a day are about lead times this might help cut that down for a small once a week page update

  18. [we live in the uk btw..]

    My girlfriends youngest son (he's 21) posted a photo of Bragg Creek a few hours before the video was taken - unfortunately he was on the wrong side at the time and wasn't allowed to cross back over the bridge so he's had to stay with friends.

    He was posting to facebook moaning that his phone was running out of charge. Priorities at that age eh ??

    Did I hear that Banff was cut off for a while?

    Hope you guys are all ok over there!!

    Unfortunately, I don't know the details of how it was created.

    Thats one of mine.
    Dashware has support for both flysight and paralog. You just open Dashware, select your video file, select your data file and then just drag the slider to tell Dashware where the data starts compared to the video. Drop your gauges onto the video and you are done.
    Since I did that vid Dashware has more skydiving related gauges such as an alti and a few combined gauges.
    I thought I'd uploaded more gauge tests but I must have tidied up and removed them.
    There is also a very good online site that will combine gps data and video.

  21. Big crash on a cross country mountain bike. Night ride, catching the lead rider, didn't see a big hole, as soon as the bike dissapeared there was nothing to light the track so I didn't know when I was going to hit the ground. I was in the air long enough to think "this is going to hurt" and it did...

  23. For comparison a Vid from last week at empuria.

    The throw is not included in the vid - just the right turn when something starts to go wrong....

    When it opened my head was forced forward by the risers - watching the vid I'm surprised how long it took to unzip the arms

    Pulled at 4k - chopped at 2k when I realised I was going to run out of time before kicking the twists out. Lovely fast reserve deployment with the skyhook and no twists.

    Interesting to note that after just 15 odd seconds of spinning how dizzy I was under the reserve

    Oh - and if anyone finds my watch I'd quite like it back.

  24. The short version of a long story - I ordered a v4 a while ago for my trip to empuria this week, lead times should have had the suit at home at the start of Jan, at start of Jan PF thought it would be start of feb, last week contacted PF and was told it would another 4 weeks.

    Asked if they could sort anything out and Robbie offered to sell me one of the V5 prototypes he flew in Mountain Trails.

    Who would say "No" to that ?

    Awesome service from PF :)

    Out to Empuria on Thursday so hopefully I'll be jumping it next week.

    p.s. the air scoops in front of the shoulders look big enough to swallow small birds...
