VectorBoy 0 #5 June 5, 2006 For myself I'm interested in both an Acro/V-2 demo ( or v-1 ) from PF. I ask about the BM program for a possible wingsuit boogie down in the south coast. I know they used to supply local BMI's with suits for first flight promotion. I was led to believe the program has tailed off some. Pf starter suits would also work for first flights.

voodew1 0 #6 June 5, 2006 Glen, are you a wingsuit instructor???? Yeah I didn't think so -- There is no way you could possibly teach anyone to fly a wingsuit Let me know the dates of your event and I will see if I can send you mine and Ted's demo suits we have from XS to XXL. As long as it is not during a time we need them I will hook you up -- as for the Acro and Vampire - I don't have any demos of those, just my personal ones.

mccordia 74 #7 June 5, 2006 QuoteI was led to believe the program has tailed off some People like to talk...but not everything you hear is the truth... A bit of a side-subject, in Empuria we did some first flight instruction with the new Impact suit from BM. The forward speed and fallrates we where getting on our first jump (2 way with playing) is quite comparable to a small beginners wingsuit. If anyone is interested I can post some video of those jumps later tonight.. It seemed like great suit for first flights.. and small ps. I was quite amazed in Empuria Brava....most you saw there was the new 'tracer' beginner suit from Matter and the Acces suit from loic...seems to have quite a market in the lower parts of europe...you dont really see those a lot in the US do you?JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

KrisFlyZ 0 #8 June 5, 2006 I am not surprised that the Access and Tracer have a big market here. Even the S-Fly does not have much of a market share in the U.S. I know of just one other guy(in the U.S) that owns an S-Fly. It is a great suit for flocking. But that is a country that has banned french fries . Kris. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In talking to one (french) wingsuiter, I got told that its probably also the fact that both Matter and FlyYourBody seem to focus their attention to the EU (and especialy French speaking) market more in terms of advertising and promotion seems to help a lot in their big market-share in that part of the world...JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

stratman05 0 #11 June 6, 2006 The Ranch, in New York, has the Access. Only place in the US (as far as I know). Wasn't a fan of the suit at all though. Real akward to fly. I get better performance out of my home made tracking suit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With care takers trusted to keep coral from growing on select parts of the statue's face giving the statue a beard of coral. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However,the snazzy black/red S-fly I am pictured wearing in my book is also mine. Keep your eyes open, Fly your body has some new products they have been working on that should be released shortly."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

There is at least own S-fly owner at Perris. I have to admit I haven't seen it flown but the owner is killer in the sky. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
