Wingsuit available on the market at this moment. Only from the 5 biggest manufacturers (you can still found some others "exotics" models/brands on internet). Birdman shop is outline so they probably stop doing wingsuit. Tony's models are subject to change from the pics, lot of different variation on same "model". http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=119332ws2016.jpg

New models on the market, intrudair Barracuda Power http://www.intrudair.hu/wingsuite_barracuda_power.php and SFly Bandit http://sflyequipment.com/en/products-showroom/bandit-2/

No need oxygen in freefall at 6km. Be aware about your physical state anyway
-
Normal, everybody ordered one after the WWL

The man with the home made black & white tracking suit that you can see at the beginning have better glide performance than Veush in his Cruise + (and he is a damn good tracker). But don t dreams guys, even with your squirrel, tony, sfly, PF, etc you ll never fly like this because you re not... FRENCH!!!
-
you only really need a trackingsuit if you cant track! ;)
-
It s still totally wrong to write about "initial impression" about a suit you never flew. Even a small modification can change a lot a suit. Just try 2 different Apache with the same "template" and just minor change you ll see...

S-Fly Wingsuit Material... Still "Crinkly"?
alygator replied to megamalfunction's topic in Wing Suit Flying
Stop trolling, just say thank you to frenchies for parachute, modern wingsuit (and independance) ;) Anyway, it s not the same shape. Leg wing is wider, profile is thinner, etc. The first to use Cup inlet, arm foam and poles storage is PF, In/out harness, pockets and neoprene sleeve is Tony... Squirrel is not the one to mention for "innovation", just the best for communication. And about the performances, the guys i know who fly the ridge, coming from aura for most of them and they ALL have better start and better glide with the SFly. -

and Aura looks like apache... Ridge have better start than the Aura. Monowing concept don t work for big suit that s why they had to switch to more "conventional" wing. -

Not anymore -
I just don t really understand the point with that.
-
"full length versus PF style zippers" Who can choose his wingsuit because of that? Really?
-
Squirrel will release soon his cop.. euh a same kind of suit: the Freak Nothing comparable at Phoenix Fly, Intrudair or SFly yet
-
I know some very good and experienced pilots who changed from Aura to Ridge. From what i heard it s quite similar to the Aura(1) but with a better start. Some pilot have better overall perf than before with their Aura and the others similar but none have less.
-
Twists don t come from the canopy but from the body position. Canopy model just change the way you ll deal with. If you have too much trouble, return to smaller wingsuit and/or bigger canopy

Sure the backdoor is wide enough to let 4 people jump on the same time and in the same line... I expected pf pilot had won this by killing the others with theirs fins :D But that s not the point. At this level and between these suits it s really the pilot who give the little extra amount of speed or not. PS: A new competitor in this categorie will be out soon, the PF Arrow.
-
The "redbull race"... Exit with 2 in front and 2 behind, for sure it was fair (and smart)... Don t remember to saw production c2 in finals at WWL... Jedei, scorpion and Vrace yes. Squirrel did well too but with a prototype only for this kind of event, not a c2. But all these suits are good now and it s mostly the pilot who made it fast or not. Anyway, what the purpose to have the fastest if you don t race it? And if you do these races you ll have a sponsor so you ll fly his suit.
-
Don t forget Vrace...
-
The only time i had that, it was when i return to maw glide after really steep dive. Since i think to keep a proper heel position i didn t have flapping anymore.
-
I see a fish playing ball
-
I had sometimes Fins who flapped but like for Jean "The Legend", it s because of a bad position of the feet or/and if you don t stretch your leg. The heel should be pointing outside, not the toe. No more problems for me now
