Are you you using the "base pouch" or deploying from BOC ?

Use the leg pouch I reckon...

Heybro the leg pouch is the way to go i skydiv i base dont even have to think about it any more when my arms are in my suit its there easy access quick deployments { but ] lots of people use boc on v1s and have no dramas. if you go leg do shit loads of ground drps and skydives to get familyar dude enjoy...

 

Robi told me that the V1 (Pretty much the same wing as the V2) was designed to be pulled a little different than the Bird-man suits of that time. I always reach around my GTI and the S3. But I reach under the V1 wing. That's why the wing was moved up slightly on the hip, so you can reach under instead of around.

So my pull is kinda the same leg pouch or boc. I reach to where the bottom of the wing meets the body and then go either down for the leg or up and in for the boc.

You should have an experienced wingsuit flier show you the differences on any new suit you are jumping.

I have always used the leg pouch for BASE, but I use the boc on skydiving if I'm going to be back flying or doing a lot of flipping/twisting transitions.

Hope this helps.
