[jtholmes 0]

the Fox without vents or multi is the best parachute.
the best container is gargoyle or prism 1

After my FJC, i will be mostly jump WS-Base (Thats my goal for the future, after i have the experience!) and terminal Tracks from high cliffs and walls.

Wich Kombi Gear, Chute, PC(Sizes?) will be the best, keeping my goal in mind?

Thanks for possible answers!

As with all these questions, it's going to depend. It might be better to ask "what is your favorite" rather than "what is best".

Here's my recommendation for a wingsuit BASE rig:

Morpheus WS-Xtreme
9' Bridle
Asylum 38" vented ZP PC, with floating handle
Consolidated Rigging Ace (unvented) Canopy, with composite ZP topskin


Lots of people will have different opinions. Here are some thoughts:

WS-Xtreme: In my opinion, this is the best wingsuit specific rig in production. Other options (Merlin) don't seem as tested, or (VKB rig) are going to be hard to acquire or difficult to use with standard wingsuits.

9' Bridle: Many people recommend a 12' bridle for wingsuits. I haven't had any problems with a 9' bridle, and it is my opinion that a 9' bridle will move the PC far enough away to clear the burble with an appropriate pitch technique (either full flight for clean airflow, or full fall to reduce burble)

Floating handle PC: The floating handle minimizes the risk of bridle/PC entanglement, which has killed an extremely experienced BASE wingsuit pilot.

Ace: The Ace has lower pack volume than the vented alternatives, and is (in my opinion) the option most likely to hold it's resale value because of it's performance slider down. That said, if you aren't planning on selling the rig, and you won't ever do any slider down jumps, the choice of canopy is pretty minor, so you may just want to go with whatever you can find cheapest.

I haven't jumped it but I saw a hybrid a couple weeks ago, I was really impressed. for mostly ws that looks like a great rig. Also saw some wind tunnel test data comparing the hybrid to a couple other rigs and it had a noticable improvement in drag reduction.
For canopy would say ace/blackjack, w/asylum pc's.

Hmm if i will take a 280-300ft² ACE, did this big canopy fits in the WS-Extreme Container?

.....because the biggest canopy sold on this site with this container is a vented 245ft².

The lower corners of the Perigee Pro are almost completely open. The container works well for wingsuit jumps. The rig does not have referrence to wingsuits in the name, but it's a fine rig for the task.

My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

I currently jump a perigee pro as well, very good rig.
looking at the ws/extreme it's more about hype than anything, it's not that different than a regular gargoyle, in my opinion.
I think we will start to see some rigs that are really designed for ws, such as the hybrid.. the one I saw, robi was flying in italy, had a really low profile and clean lines, for ws rigs like that will be the future...

a container for 245ft troll WILL fit a 265 fox/flik whaterver. Trust me, I tried.

Call Morpheus and ask. I believe they've made some oversize WS-Xtremes (I think as prototypes) at one point or another.

That's not quite fair, the Hybrid Robi had did not contain a normal Troll.

I'm going to star to base jump and I want to buy a new base RIG, so I want the best in the market...
I want to know wich is the better container and wich is the better canopy (excellent openings is a must), for jump big walls and little buildings.

look man, you will get a lot of different answers for this question. but I am right. and i will answer truthfully.

The best BASE container is easily the Vertigo Warlock. But, they sold out and joined up with another company and now their rig is the DP. not as cool, but its just like all the other rigs now.
Best BASE canopy is BY FAR the BlackJack with ZP topskin. and by 'BY FAR' i am serious. crazy good LD ratio, and good adjustable openings in slider up or slider off. Best risers are Morpheus. Best Pilot Chutes are Asylum. Thats that. oh, and dont get a velcro rig. that shit is sketchy.

true(about the not normal troll).But I based my opinion of the ws extreme on comparing it with a gargoyle side by side w/ the same size canopy.
don't get me wrong, the gargoyle/ws extreme are f-n sexy rigs, i wouldn't kickem outta bed for eating cookies....
