KrisFlyZ 0 #1 April 15, 2006 Can a velcro riser cover closed rig be used for wingsuit flying? I am thinking it would not be an issue. My second rig is a really old racer. Leg strap mounted PC, velcro closed riser covers and all. I will be using a WS PC pouch or have aa BOC pouch sewn. Anything to watch out for? Kris.

Sure, I used a Racer Elite with velcro riser covers with my WS for the longest with no issues. Like any thing velcro, make sure its maintained and in good shape other wise it could open prematurely."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

RMURRAY 1 #5 April 16, 2006 Quotewatch velcro I replace velcro top and sides at 200 jumps (max) which for me is once a year. Never a problem for RW and swoop loads...maybe a bit overdoing it but I would not want to wait to 400 jumps. rm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus Racers have a low profile and are really comfortable. QuoteI thought you didnt base... ?
