  1. 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
  2. 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/
  3. No need oxygen in freefall at 6km. Be aware about your physical state anyway
  4. Normal, everybody ordered one after the WWL
  5. French food :D http://www.lesplatsgourmands.fr/les-plats-gourmands/cassoulet-reduit.jpg
  6. 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!!!
  7. you only really need a trackingsuit if you cant track! ;)
  8. 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...
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. I just don t really understand the point with that.
  12. "full length versus PF style zippers" Who can choose his wingsuit because of that? Really?
  13. Squirrel will release soon his cop.. euh a same kind of suit: the Freak Nothing comparable at Phoenix Fly, Intrudair or SFly yet
  14. 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.
  15. 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

  17. 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.
  18. 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.

    PF Fins

    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.

    PF Fins

    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
