hey birds haven't posted to this forum b4. yeah I know beer. I did a couple of demo jumps on a birdman classic years ago. at richmond with chris martin i miss you bro. I was able to shoehorn myself into that suit. by sucking in my gut. but I was really worried about the zippers exploding. loved the flight time. my question is know anyone who is a big guy. and might have a birdman classic or simular intro suit around? and I mean a BIG guy. I'm like 6'4"ish and I bounce up and down between 245 and 260. I talked to tony about the intro and was really impressed with his straitforwardness he said prob would not be able to stay up with anyone with an into at my size. if anyone knows a tall birdman with a beer belly who might have an entry suit. let me know.
i have on occasion been accused of pulling low . My response. Naw I wasn't low I'm just such a big guy I look closer than I really am .

Hi, I'm not as big as you but 6'2"ish about 200lbs. I'm selling a Birdman Firebird on the classifieds but it would be too small for you probably. I was posting this because I found with the long arms and legs with go with the height I have a bigger wing than a shorter person which compensates the wingsuit somewhat although your weight will most likely negate most of that benefit - it might not be as bad as you think though! :)

I've got a Prodigy 1 sized for 5'11" and 320 lbs. The wings on it are a tad small for me, but since you're 50 lbs lighter that might make a difference. I know I'm a bit shorter, but the pants seemed a bit long on me and I wear the toe straps at the highest of the three settings, so it should accomodate your extra height.

If you're interested, pm me and I'll send it out to a ws instructor near you so you can try it out.
