TomAiello 26 #1 February 1, 2005 So, I've heard the names, but I'm wondering if anyone has any details on the types of suits these will be? I'm sure that those who are really in the know can't say, but even a general type? What I've dug out of other places: Phi: Aerobatic suit. Blade: "Max" suit. Continued development along the S-3 lines, for best glide angle. Legend: Anyone heard anything? Is this a re-do of the "classic" line for an updated beginner suit? Anyone know anything? Thanks!-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tonto 1 #7 February 2, 2005 Hey Ed! Is that a Sugarglider you're wearing? Apart from being a little wider in the arm positioning, it looks near identical! tIt's the year of the Pig. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unclecharlie109 0 #8 February 2, 2005 Quote Phi: Aerobatic suit. BM obviously changed their minds then From BM press release after Robi left: http://www.flybirdman.com/news/070204.html "What about Phi? Because Phi was a project that was conceptualized with Robert in place, I have decided to discontinue it to allow us to begin working from a clean slate. This is unfortunate in the small picture, but will benefit those who are patient in the long run. Every designer has his or her own way of creating. I prefer to brainstorm with my team after I have an idea, then I encourage the process to expand from there with no limits. I want to give the next .Phi. the same opportunity while also profiting from fresh ideas from the new team. More info soon! " Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diver23 0 #9 February 2, 2005 That was also what i thought. They are probably trying to create a market to get some market share (back). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think we just found out what happens when you ask Ed for photos. I don't think there are new suit photos that are ready to be released. The suit that Jari is wearing in the tunnel pics is the same one he wore at the Byron boogie. The only difference I could see from the pics is that Jari's suit had 5 ribs on the leg wing vs 4 on Ed's S3. Kris. Kris. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So you've seen this picture too eh? QuoteEd has a very, very different prototype that he has been jumping. If the suit would have fit me and you, it would be us jumping it. I wouldn't even call it a prototype, it's more along the lines of one of those "ideas" that never made it to production. It's more of a novelty IMO, kind of like the picture Ed posted It was in a box in a corner somewhere last time I saw it."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mccordia 74 #17 February 2, 2005 haha....I can't wait to see what other 'prototype' pictures are going to end up here when people keep asking for them... But the real fun wil start when you come to a dropzone and there's 25 fat people there, waiting for Jari to show up with some Phi!JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
