Excellent pics Matt... your usual fantastic work! Wish I was there with you guys.

Somebody must have paid the weather bill in advance, big time - those skies sure make for some incredible visuals and background.

Looking forward to the vids.

Awesome pic's Matt! Thanks for sharing.

Is it just me or is this wing HUGE!! I assume this is the new XS or is this yet another new proto?

edit, I went back and looked, it's labeled as the new XS. for some reason it just looked even bigger than the other pictures I had seen of it...

I wonder how much is added by turning the the wing down at the hand grippers like that, it looks cool, but is it really functional. Seems like it 'could' be fun at pull time... I'll stick with my Raptor when ever it gets here... hopefully this week. Heck just the look of that XS scares me at my current skill level. Maybe in a year or two though.

Yes that is jeffs xs. The suit is to be respected for sure, not for the casual wingsuiter. It is an amazing suit however. We flew ours at marl, and even though 3 of us had fewer than 15 jumps on it, we managed 1,3, and 5th in distance.

The idea of the grippers is to fly them in the up position. Think winglets on a passenger jet. Jeff (who has by far the most jumps on it) says that it does make a significant difference in his time/distance flights. In slower flocks, he uses them as flaps for slow speed.

Pull time with this suit is for the experienced wing suiter. It is not hard, but it is not recomended for someone not used to big wings.

I'm sure there will be more to come from jeff, but thats the short story

I hate time and distance flights.....except when I'm flying the xs

Phil, that's interesting on the winglet idea. I understand why planes use them, I would not have thought that they would make all that much difference on such a small lifting surface as the wing tip vortexes coming off would not be that large. However I'm sure the aerodynamics of wing suits is much different and there is a lot to still be learned. I know you guys are really pushing design envelope and I think it's awesome to see!

While the suit looks awesome, it's way out of my league for a long time to come.
