  1. one famous know jumper already flew to grindewald few years ago, but he not say much. Not like this shit you can read on Matt website. "i was..., i was,...", "only american suit jumping there,...." all this bullshit ! and we can not even see on video the entire flight from the high exit. Fog hmmmmm ! nice after effects :o) what can we see on GPS track, opening happend before the real bottom of the valley but congrat to Dean, the one who open the exit and don"t post vantard stuff
  2. if you're interested to buy the DVD : http://www.adrenalinbase.com/index.php?L=en&T=home&E=&Id=[url]
  3. the new apocalypse snow is out. wingsuit part with robert, jeannoel, james, yves, alastair. http://www.apo-snow.com/apo_shop/[/url]
  4. Didier Lafond, film director of the trilogy Revelation Snow, film of the eighties, comes back with " Apocalypse Snow the return ", a film of 26 minutes turned in high definition, which will be ready for 2008. In order to film all forms of gliding, sequences in Wingsuit will be definitely in date! The flight is composed of 5 men in Wingsuit: James Boole, Robert Pecnik, Jean Noël Itzstein, Yves Burri et Alistair Marsh check this adress : [url]http://www.adrenalinbase.com/index.php?L=en&T=videos
  5. Hello, i had opportunity to test L/D+, you can really feel & see that you get more performance, specially for wingsuit. i saw also different very experienced base jumpers using it, they are very happy of it. ask the monster norvegian tracker, they have tested it in wind tunnel and love it as the ZAK, Hybrid is the lightest rig on the market. valery Rozov, sam beaugey (who jumped new exit on trango tower after big climb), and others climbers jump it because it's so light. quality is one of the best on the market, like morpheus

    BASE tracking

    some "early days" saw few french jumpers jumping from Karls.... they went all the way to the bottom with their goretex.... so what is REAL tracking ???? and they did that with big PD canopies in their racer !!
  7. depending of your climbing experience, it's possible to go there, even with snow. i saw a video where 2 french guys jumped the mushroom in january (and they went to the top by foot)
  8. hello, after speaking with them, i got this : Adrenalibase was involved in trango testing, they tried it in a skydiving container, for few jumps, without any problem. then they used it in base configuration, as it was the main goal of the trango back to the title of the thread : the L/D+ is based on regular hybrid, who showed the best aerodynamics results in wind tunnel (made by VKB team). jeannoel told me that you can feel a real difference in performance jumping the L/D+ compare to a normal design. come on guy's, there is another option than american equipment
  9. France is the most advanced country on some side of the sport : with their association they released a book with more than 250 cliffs ! you can also get an insurance for cliffs jumping, like any other mountain sport ! These french guy's rock. they have also Loic who fly like nobody and jeannoel (adrenalinbase) who make the finest aerodynamics base rig on the planet. i heard that jeannoel fly the highest spot in the world, 2000 m (only Yuri and him did that !!!) let's see what they will do this year

    Zak Harness

    If you are european, it's a VERY good point to get european equipement. to buy an equipment without VAT, you have to pick it up in the USA (in case of shipping, you will pay),if you have to sent it back, you will pay the VAT and more.... then in case of big repair or anything, it's much easier to deal with european manufacturer (no custom and very cheap shipping). As Troll canopy is include in package, you can get a full european equipment, all from very good quality. all these are certificated in Germany. it's short delivery time and excellent service. really, don't need to order an "american" rig, we have the same just here.
  11. Hello, new aerodynamics rig works well. i got one and feel the difference. it's hard to say how much but i got this from www.adrenalinbase.com website, looks like VKB team use this equipment. "Wind tunnel testing Wind tunnel testing of the Adrenalin HYBRID rig compared to a “classic” rig design, as the ZAK, performed by VKB, summer 2006. With the help of Hans Holmefjord, Oyvind Lokeberg performed as the test dummy, wearing two different suits (track suit & wingsuit). He got lots of data (lift, drag, glide ratio,…) The setup with HYBRID rig showed lower drag in all tests of approximately 10-15 % compared to using the classic design. The reduced drag forces contributed to an overall better glide ratio, between 5 and 20%"
