  1. I also use magnets bag, Pegasus, made in Belgium, very happy with it, avoiding the uneven tugging of the elastic. B|

    I just posted a video on youtube of some limited footage of V4 flights from Flock and Dock. I don't know how much Ed and Brian were pushing there V3/V4 when I passed them from above, but if Brian was matching Ed's V3 performance look at the forward speed and altitude difference when I passed them from above in the video in my V4 (really Robi's:)) I was flying the suit hard in that video. The suit has a large performance advantage over the V3. I also did 1 on 1 performance flights with another V3 multiple times with the same results, including me switching to the V3 and the other pilot flying the V4. I did fly against an Xbird/Sbird as well. The speed was much greater and believe it or not the altitude difference was very close agaist the XBird. This suit kicks some serious ass, is so easy to fly, and fun. Flocks in the video were from a phantom 2 not V4.

  3. I hope I do not think bad skydiver, took 24 hours thinking about what happened, I have thought and reasoning, This has not left me indifferent, and I take very seriously what you say me, when I saw that my reserve parachute and also began to roll I had the feeling that might be to rotate, This feeling is terrifying! because you know nothing else, scream like a frightened child, cries of survival, remove the video sound, never forget a lesson like this, and for me it was a relief to share with you

    now we have to keep flying, I have many plans, I want to evolve, and will do so

    4000 feet but will be the minimum height to open my parachute for the rest of my life! ;)




    after a day of work with video photos tandems, was eager to make this jump with wingsuit, I had to take off my spine and bad taste after what happened the other day, doing well

    Lastly, it appears you don't have an RSL on your rig, which may be your choice. I won't get into the pros/cons of having /not having one but I will say this. If you choose not to use one I strongly suggest you make it a point in the future to get stable and deploy your reserve while you are belly to earth and not on your back(altitude permitting). You made that reserve ride more exciting than it needed to be and could have potentially caused something more severe than just line twists.



    I strongly disagree with this statement.
    You're spinning/accelerating under a bad canopy/linetwists/whatever in a big suit; the LAST thing you want to have happen is that you're whipped off of the canopy and get stable.
    Close your fabric down (you won't be flying that fast) keep your pelvis down (there's that "arch" thing again), and get your reserve out ASAP. Screw worrying about getting stable. The Incidents forum has several "waited to get stable" fatalities. >:(

    [edited after seeing Jarno's post]
    I too, am a proponent of RSL/MARD (although I don't jump one myself) and a proponent of hard housings. Twists can easily get into risers.
    Check out 3:50

    or this one at 2:30, you'll see why hard housings are valuable.


    I feel more confident when choosing me open, 1 never below 4000 feet
    2 if I have another emergency, freeing my bell, bow, looking to the ground, if possible to be completely still, and of course the belly to the ground and open the reserve
    3when you open I'll stay still as a statue, with all the cloth stuck and wait for it to open and look after

  6. Which is just one of the reasons why we recommend 180-250 wingsuit jumps before trying/flying one.

    Jarno yes, I have no problems with the wingsuit, but you're absolutely right, The other day I had a spin and solve no problems, caused me no concern, only precaution, first started opening up to 5000 feet, then to 4000, and then I dropped to 3000, I relaxed, no will return not to forget that no I have so many wingsuit jumps, a Venom is not like a shadow, and above all I'm not superman.

    see you in Hungary! ;)

    wingsuit, opening and interesting cutaway, Diamonds in the ass
    nearly a thousand jumps anything important happens I, but if one day you too much reliance gives you a lesson you never forget,spin the other day to fix it, now a bad opening, the reserves opens well, but yesterday he had no time for anything and opened unstable and in a difficult position, to have time to avoid these things have to be open a little higher. pull the spandex just 3000 feet, never again I will open below 4000 feet

    Looked to be an interesting skydive. A few things to take away from this for your sake. From the video it appears that you may be inducing your line twists on your main. The fact that you're looking up and watching your main open leads me to believe you may also be exposing a portion of the wing to the relative wind during deployment instead of keeping all of your wings closed down. It is also possible that because you are looking around that you are uneven in the harness and or leaning to one side which could cause the turn.

    Solution: Close down all of your wings during deployment and remain as still as possible until you have(feel) a fully inflated canopy above your head, then look up and confirm you have a good canopy and perform post opening procedures. It takes mere seconds for all of this to happen but it might feel like a long time to you at this stage. Doing this will go a long way to making your deployments less exciting and less expensive.

    Lou, I can tell, I think you're right,stable open, everything gets complicated when the canopy is opening because I move, note after helplessly inertia
    and I get in a hurry and want to be very fast in download zip, free and open, because I am obsessed with height,[:/]

    In the video you can see you had twists all the way down to your risers on your main. Again, some advice for you here. If you don't have hard cutaway housings in your risers you should have your rigger install them. Hard housings are cheap insurance to have and they ensure you can still cutaway easily even if you have twist down the risers.

    in this part I was missing something in translation :|

    I'm not too fond of RLS, I believe that this jump was more trouble to open lower, obsessed with height, and do things wrong, or not to have RSL, never again I will open below 4000 feet


    In the end, you saved your life and hopefully you learned something from this experience that will stick with you from now on. Buy your rigger a bottle and stay safe.:)


    I will never forget this, I have been afraid! Thanks Lou

    But the ground track visuals get better as you go lower ... ;)

    PS: I do not advocate going lower.


    I will not forget! hahaha ;)

    In case you missed it, Juan Car is from Spain, English is NOT his native language (he only knows the curse words I taught him many years agoWink) so even inserting a clicky or whatever is not that easy for him.Give the guy a break he is doing very well using the not so reliable online translating sites.He is neither illiterate nor disabled (excetion is after a few cervezas Wink)


    It was not ever about his English. It was only about his skills using this forum. Well, what to say, he is a fast learner. B|


    guys nothing happens, Gabor peace friend, I have no problem with you, greetings ;)

    no hay ningun problema chicos, Gabor que haya paz, no tengo ningun problema contigo, saludos amigo.

    Jarno if you knew what I suffer with English...:Phahaha I like fun haha ;) you are great guy
    and you too Gabor,;) I remember you recommended me to jump in Finland B|

    Michael ever saw me drinking beer? hahaha
    I remember you and I were able to drink up to the water in vases hahaha in Tapas, Latino, Campanillo...Those were the days

    I see you had fun, and also got to fly with my teammate AlejandroB|



    yes Alejandro flew this weekend with us, is a machine
    gave us many tips together with Miki and Paula (BB team), learn a lot with them, we are lucky to have them there ;)

    Man you really should learn how to post these lol

    When you type a post, there is a small button under the rectangle you type in on the right that says "url". You have to hit then paste your link then hit it a second time

    thanks friend! :P computer science is not mine! :S

    Sorry. You must have missed something. Inserting a link is not a science. This is just being an illiterate. Too bad there is no disabled sign here. B|


    I am a happy illiterate ;) but for anything I would like to be disabled :( I hope there is no disabled skydiver who reads this, that might think that a situation of disability can be used as a joke, do not offend those who want, only offend those who can, and me can not offend me, but it may offend others

    Cool flying. With more practice you will see these results improve rapidly.
    Come and make our life hard at the competition in HungaryB|



    soon I hope to get close to 3 minutes, exit 3800m opening 1200, 135 seconds, by turning a little ;)

    Personaly Im not the biggest fan of intentional spins, thinking you're also not packing intentional malfunctions into your main to learn how to deal with those.

    I do think a lot of practice with barrelrolls, frontloops and other in-air shenanigans gives a person a great body awareness and ability to recover from almost any type of instability.

    As DSE also mentioned, the traditional 'balling up' method doesnt collapse all the armwing thats on the body/outside of the leg, and thus can still keep the momentum going in a spin.
    Grabbing ankles when balling up does collapse all wing, and is a good update to that technique.

    Making your recovery a 3 step proces

    1. Arch (fly out of it!)
    2. Ball (grab ankles! Spin stops, fly out of it)
    3. Deploy (pull main, better at 6000ft with 20 linetwist on your main, than 500ft and 20 linetwists on your reserve)

    We made this video with some examples



    I am no fan of entering into spin, and the truth is that if I practiced many barrels and looping, and sometimes I had destabilized, but I've never really gone into a tailspin with wingsuit, I had never felt the total loss of control wingsuit,was a surprise, so now I think it's good to try intentionally This feeling
    high enough, and acquire this practice, anyway when we happen unexpectedly always exceeds when you provoke us.
    My assessment is positive, I feel more confident now, and I have the same desire to fly ;)

    thanks for the video ;)

    Juan Car, You are a SURVIVOR !!
    I remember watching your AFF in Spain ;)
    This guy fought through when 99% would have quit, got the "bowling" speech and came back with determination like you wouldn't believe !!!
    Glad to see you still have the fighting spirit, and thanks for sharing amigo !



    Michael? I did not know it was you! hahaha, I remember my early? uff impossible to forget, I had to fight! but that taught me a lot
    ;) you know I have love for this sport, I do not think there is another way to be a skydiver, I have plans to cross the ocean to jump, the U.S. or Canada, I will tell you friend, will be fine beers in the sunset ;)B|
