DSE 5 #1 February 21, 2008 Any ground work needed? Should I be looking for any missed seams or other inspection probs? Other than practicing deployment with the bigger wing, what (if anything) should I be doing before the suit's initial jump? Never have owned a new suit before, and the manual doesn't have a lot to say about it. Or am I just having meaningless but hopeful thoughts that it'll arrive tomorrow like the "receive by" date says, even though the "ship date" still says "waiting to ship?"

The111 1 #2 February 21, 2008 I'm sure Yuri and Jarno have specific procedures for intitiating a new wingsuit, but I'm not sure you or I want to hear those. Put it on and fly it. www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This sounds like the best advice so far. ~Flock with it on the ground. ~Work on flocking in the air. Gotcha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mccordia 74 #5 February 21, 2008 Inspect the suit (rigged) after your first jump, see if the cables are still in place. If they are slighly coming out, you may have to move up or down one tab, so there is no stress on them. And take a picture at work..its manditory..JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

peggs82 0 #6 February 21, 2008 I believe the colorado "flock in a box" guys had it about right.... New Suit Break In But seriously, what everyone has said is about right. The Blade is an easy suit to fly, and easy to deploy. Just keep those feet and knees together on deployment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This picture and this quote: Quote Thats the theory anyway, finding a beautiful who wants to have sex with you in a wingsuit is your challenge... has me worried about what effect wingsuiting may have on my sexual preferences. Or maybe that crew just swings that way?Jarno, I deserve a "Fly like Brick" membership, if for no reason other than I truly fly like a brick. working on changing that, however. Looking forward to Lodi and Eloy in May, but hoping to find some significant improvement between now and then, if the weather will allow for it.

bodypilot1 0 #14 February 22, 2008 Quote How do you fold the blade in his bag without damaging any ribs? Just got a new one too Thanks Just fold it. The ribs will not recieve any damage when doing so. If you have any dout, bend the material covering the arm and see what happens, it's the same material. Hope this helps.www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bones 0 #15 February 22, 2008 There's a video in the wingsuit section of skydivingmovies.com that shows the Blade being folded and bagged at the factory. It also shows a cool little backpack that they apparently don't send out anymore. At least I didn't get one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
