  1. mho... i owned a c1, i liked it but never "loved it" i owned a v4 and absolutely hated that suit i still own an Xbird and an Aura and LOVE them both. my issue with the c1 was how loose your arms are in the sleeves. it allows the suit to kind of do its own thing a little. also i noticed the c1 liked to be flown a little steeper than what i was used to (tonysuits) so i never felt like i was getting a great flare out of the suit. this really bothered me.... i sent the c1 back and got an aura "THANK YOU SQUIRREL" it was everything i was hoping for and more. such an improvment over the c1. it flared great and was very stable. my friend still has his c1 and its still a fun suit to fly. just not my cup of tea anymore Flock University FWC / ZFlock B.A.S.E. 1580 Aussie BASE 121
  2. burbleme is a really nice feature for any large dz. you can; check in, manifest for a load, look at loads building, look at money on account, organize a whole group ay one time. look at how long till your loads call is. also a logbook... all from your phone.

  3. I almost jumped the lookout tower on the American side. I was on the object. but with no way to get out once you land. you'd have to camp out at the bottom and wait for the tower to open then try and sneak back up with a rig. no fucking way would you jump a damn wingsuit into that mess.

  4. good flying with you too, and its funny you say that about your jump numbers. that beach jump was my 998!!! headed to zhills now to get that magical number Flock University FWC / ZFlock B.A.S.E. 1580 Aussie BASE 121
  5. We did a couple of 16 way dynamic formation jumps to close out the day yesterday (Zhills). Waiting for the fog to clear this morning. nice man! I was in Sebastian Fri, Sat, Sun. we got quite a few good jumps in. thanks romain! averaging 6-7 ways mostly docking. Flock University FWC / ZFlock B.A.S.E. 1580 Aussie BASE 121
  6. The main reason I'm not going to Sebastian with my friends is that neither I nor my girlfriend could wingsuit there. Apparently even 200+ WS jumps isn't enough to satisfy the skygods there, while someone with 1 WS jump but 500 jumps total is "safer". I was told by a friend that someone went in on a WS flight there because he didn't correctly buckle his leg straps causing the over-reaction by the owners. Whether true or not, I see no logical reason why a dropzone that offers AFF would be so draconian with regards to wingsuiting. that incident was many years ago and had nothing to do with the current ban in place.

  7. yea, forget any first flight courses, coaching, or any wingsuiter that has less than 300 jumps (that started wingsuiting at 200). i love that dz and will be there this weekend of the 27-28. i just wish they thought this out a little better before implementing it.

  8. YES!!! there are a shitload of people who ordered the C6 air and still have not recieved a helmet. ive been waiting since march of 2013. Flock University FWC / ZFlock B.A.S.E. 1580 Aussie BASE 121
  9. even a base rig uses a rubberband in the tailpocket, its called a locking stow. just replace your fucking lines when they get worn. pretty simple there. the lines will be out of trim long before any wear from a semi stowless dbag will cause you problems.

  10. The mandatory D license for wingsuiting was implemented right after a very well known and loved wingsuiter went in this year. He held a D license and had more experience than anyone I know. Why Sebastian chose to ban low jump#s on wingsuits I do not know. Flock University FWC / ZFlock B.A.S.E. 1580 Aussie BASE 121
  11. Florida or Perris/Elsinore. Nothing against the NORCAL crew, but SOCAL may be a bit more temperature friendly. Eloy will probably get pretty cold at night (it is a desert) but if cold doesn't bother you you can crank out jumps. Beaches in FL will be pretty bare this time of year. The water is pretty cold. SOCAL will probably still have surfers braving the water looking for waves. The NYE party migrated from ZHills to Sebastion in the late 2000s, but it tends to migrate every five years so it may be drifting back. I haven't been there in awhile. It's going to be back in zhills this year. (That's the rumor) Flock University FWC / ZFlock B.A.S.E. 1580 Aussie BASE 121

  13. Forget Sebastian and wingsuiting unless you have a D license. I don't know why they aren't advertising this. As quite a few people have already found out the hard way. They probably don't want to advertise it because it WILL affect their attendance. I'm trying to get the word out before people travel days to get there only to find out they aren't allowed to jump.

  14. The bar is called Nelson Blue. Super fun place. Was just there a couple months ago. Flock University FWC / ZFlock B.A.S.E. 1580 Aussie BASE 121
  15. i made a very similar mount, but mine is not inverted. it is on the right side. i have a sena 20s intercom mounted on the left side. mounting the sony on the right side in the proper orentation closes the gap that a line could get caught in. i used this in Switzerland this summer for Base jumps and it worked out really well. i have since modified it to allow entry into the waterproof housing without removing the mount screw for the camera.

  16. i just did some research, looks like i got a counterfeit Samaung 64gb micro sdxc card. im going to test it this eve after work to find out for sure. Flock University FWC / ZFlock B.A.S.E. 1580 Aussie BASE 121
  17. what EXACT memory card is everyone using with these cams? im using the samsung card and im having a lot of videos get corrupted. Flock University FWC / ZFlock B.A.S.E. 1580 Aussie BASE 121
  18. i made a side mount for my as100v and spoke to cookie. they said they werent planning on pursuing any camera side mounts for the sony. my as100 constantly corrupts vidoe files if they are over 4-5 mins, then corrupts every file after that. i have a classified ad for the sidemounts for the as100v. hopefully Sony sends me an AZ1 after the 3rd time the as100 goes been back. im sure the mounts have to be very similar Flock University FWC / ZFlock B.A.S.E. 1580 Aussie BASE 121

  21. What memory card do you use? Size and manufacturer.... I only format the card in the camera. Once the card gets corrupted I can reformat the card, and it will work again. Flock University FWC / ZFlock B.A.S.E. 1580 Aussie BASE 121
  22. I had the chance to fly Travis's r2b2 this weekend, I only put two jumps on it, but immediately fell in love! I also put one jump on the rbird2. The r2b2 has a little more arm pressure than the rbird2. They both are amazing on their backs and bellies. Wayyy more power than the similar sized suits but a lot more performance on the belly.

  23. These Sony cameras are pieces of shit! Do not waste your money on one of these. Mine keeps corrupting files even after sony replaced the board. I am sending mine back to b&h. Garbage. Flock University FWC / ZFlock B.A.S.E. 1580 Aussie BASE 121
  24. Next time you sell a wingsuit, please get some background info on the buyer. I just had a first time tandem student contact me for training on his newly purchased v2from.dz.com. I realize no experienced wingsuit pilot will buy this suit so you had to recoup cash somehow. But wtf man? Now there is an idiot with zero experience and a wingsuit and youtube. He was talking about taking it off a high dive (diving board) and trying to fly it in a hvac duct. This guy is no troll, he is serious. I understand people buy wingsuits before they have the jump #'s, but one tandem???? Just ask a few simple questions, that's all. I would have contacted the seller directly, but the newby would not give me the sellers info. I also tried to look up a cached version of the website.
