ROK 0 #1 May 6, 2007 I had the pleasure of doing my first wingsuit jump at Z-Hills yesterday. It was awesome! I jumped with Chuck, Ryan, and another guy. Chuck trained me on the ground, and I felt just like I did when I was going through AFF. Apprehensive, and a bit overwhelmed at how much there is to learn from setting the suit up, to actually flying it. (and also how to live through it) I arched too much, and spun it up tight when opening, but It's all good. It's amazing how much muscle memory tries to take over from doing RW jumps. The suit was a Phantom and my canopy is a Sabre 2 150. I want to thank Chuck and Ryan for spending the time introducing me to yet another awesome avenue in this sport.

skyjumpsteve 0 #4 May 6, 2007 Er...perhaps you should have her set aside $5,000 or so.....you will probably end up wanting 2 suits and will need a little extra scratch left over to make a ton of flights with your new toys Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You think you can find a suit that's better than the Phantom? I have no idea (yet). The Phantom was a demo. I have much to read and learn, and a lot of people to talk to before I buy anything. When I do buy a suit, I'll post a pic... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
