ptwob231 0 #1 August 23, 2003 I just saw one of the GK 4way team member's world team suit and it is bad @$$. It had a bootie mod i've never seen...it looked like it kinda used the idea of tracking pants: a mesh air intake just below the knee of each leg that looked like it would be used to "inflate" the bootie from the inside? any word on who they are buying their suits from? they are military so i guess their logos must have been subdued cuz i couldn't find one. thanks.

kallend 2,026 #2 August 24, 2003 When the GKs were at Skydive Chicago earlier this year Kurt was wearing a suit with the booties you describe. I think they were a personal thing rather than a team thing, I don't recall seeing the others with these booties.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

arlo 0 #4 August 24, 2003 my guess is that it's a Michigan suit since that's the suit they've used for years and years. MM sure knows how to build an incredible suit...with outstanding booties.
