  1. As already stated the SM1 evolved into the S Bird when the "bird" wing came out. It is an obsolete generation of wingsuit now. Better than no wingsuiting at all but way more work to fly and pull than what we have to work with these days. A modern R Bird and other similar suits would outperform it under most conditions I think. Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month.

  2. There were a lot of good conversations about how the exit spiced things up. It tended to be the people that hadn't been knocked on exit that thought it was a good way to go. Honestly I don't think most people got too hung up on it this time because it was a test event and was just epic to get to race 4 at a time. I expect a lot of people would train specifically on the exit. I don't think it would win you the race but it sure could lose it. Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4!

  3. Thanks for all the input folks. I will digest it and figure out the best way forward for me. I am sure it involves buying new toys! Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month. Try before You Buy with Wicked Wingsuits - WingsuitRental.com
  4. The video is finally available! Next year we are taking a different approach to the video where we have a full time booth producing it in almost real time. Should capture the event spirit better and be available a lot quicker! http://youtu.be/A5ZzlXwzrKo Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month.

  5. The exit was the biggest issue for me also, I never did nail it with the group. Oh well, maybe next time I hope! My flysight data all average 2:1 with some steep gates and some flat.

  6. Wingsuit Cross Racing anybody? Sure makes an exciting change from those solo performance comps I can tell you! https://www.redbullcontentpool.com/resources/2014/07/18/00001-01000/P-20140718-00222/proxy_normal.mp4 Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4!

  7. Anyone have any experience with an online photography course? I am looking for something beyond just tutorials. A course that includes assignments and personal feedback. Thanks.

  9. compared to other companies the progression on the tony page is pretty agressive.... learn to control a small phantom class suit for the first few hundred jumps then you don't get problems on bigger suits... i also bought a havok after ~50 ws jumps... but after 10 jumps on it i put it back in the closet and did another 200 jumps on my shadow.... The appropriate suit is important but it is just as important to get coaching which will of course also guide you on suit selection. When I first switched to an R Bird I had a perfect spin on every exit. A coach only had to watch a video to correct that for me. That's when I understood the power of coaching in the wingsuit world.

  12. I think it sounds great for coaching and team work but the last thing I want on most of my wingsuit flights is to be sociable! Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month. Try before You Buy with Wicked Wingsuits - WingsuitRental.com
  13. It looks like we will have a Mini Performance Comp on Friday May 1st during Flock n Dock. An official registration will become available if there is enough interest. There would be coaching from Tony on Thursday with a comp on Friday. Who is interested? Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month.

  16. I will let you know if the velcro or ZP wears out first. It isn't a full time setup, just something for specific occasions so I am not too worried about that side of it.

  17. I got a ZP tail pocket put on my Storm 150 and did a handful of wingsuit jumps on it. Performed as expected and I can walk today, wasn't as bad as I thought it would be! Thanks for input.

  18. Appreciate the reply. It is for "wingsuit terminal" which is more like an aircraft exit speed, more forward speed than down. I have experience with large F111 canopies and an old Triathlon at these speeds but not a brand new ZP 150 Storm! I like the slider info as I am looking for heading performance. Does the TC come with a tail pocket? I was going to add a ZP tail pocket so that I can still bag it when needed. I can't imagine that the trim difference between a TC and TF would make a huge difference, or would it? I do have dacron. Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month.

  19. Interested to hear from folks that regularly jump a free packed PD Storm, both TF and TC versions. - Did you add a tail pocket or any other mod? - How are the openings? - Any cautions?

  20. Nice foto Dan! Next weekend is a bit of a rest stop but we will both be in Skydive Utah if you happen to stop by. Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month. Try before You Buy with Wicked Wingsuits - WingsuitRental.com
  21. I am a huge TonySuit fanboy, no surprise there, but I have to agree that Squirrel has taking marketing to the next level as far as skydive gear goes. Of course, performance is a different story. Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month. Try before You Buy with Wicked Wingsuits - WingsuitRental.com

  23. I have seen Vincente getting the kind of times most guys can't even get in a monster suit! You can see some results here but remember the comp window is 1000m so you would have to multiple by 2.5ish to get an idea of a full altitude flight. http://ppc.paralog.net/showalltracks.php?equipment=T-Bird My opinion is distance is a way better indication of performance than time.

  24. This isn't an official video from TS but there are quite a lot of shots of Travis flying an R2B2 both head down and back fly. The red suit with the Wickey Head on the tail is the R2B2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGOC866VZ2w Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month.
