ordered my 1st new wingsuit and have a few questions. who did you get to measure you? and did you intentionally add a few inches to the measurements for extra clothing? or for other reasons? any specific areas to or not to add? i'l be using it for a skydiving until i feel comfortable enough to take it to the big stuff in norway or ??? thanks in advance and hope everybody safe and fun jumps!

These are questions you should be posing to Robi. Measure your body accurately and tell him your plans about clothing in an email or note on the orderform.
Anyone who is comfortable touching your taint is qualified to measure you. Measure twice, cut once.

With my V-3, I had to have some extra space built into the crotch area. You probably won't need to do that.

When you order from Robi, there is an option for them to allow some extra room for thermals etc. There is a whole .pdf showing & telling you how to measure on their website.

 

cool thanks thoma! and pete it would look silly to try and put all of it in the crotch area so i'l just run it down my pant leg like i normally do :)

Pete! Are you coming to Tennessee? Leave that shit and your slider at home!

Lane, what's up man????????
Hell yes, i will be there with 2 wingsuits and a car load of rigs. This is going to be a trip to remember!!!

When is this houston trip planned? i havent made a base jump since that thing with the tree and the ticks and the broken ankle... if i can swing it, i'll come too

geee... thanks guys... maybe yall should fly up and hangout in my living room for a few nights just to make sure its rubbed in sufficiently!!! prec the invite and thread jacking i just got :p ssoooo im just guna go cry in the corner for an hour or so and try to not about how cool a base trip would be. lol! yall be safe and hav fun tho fo ril!

I ordered from PF and the especially tell you to *NOT* add any extra to the measurements but rather either take the measurements with the extra clothing you're going to wear or notify them that you would like to have extra clothing under the WS.

And for the measuring you can use pretty much anyone who can read numbers of a measuring tape.

This method of measuring is going to sound stupid but it has worked perfect for me for 2 containers, a wingsuit (PF), and a freefly suit now. Basically i take the measurements as i should but use a regular tape measurer instead of cloth/tailors tape. I dont pull it super tight either. Sounds stupid, but it's worked out perfect for me. Because the metal tape cant get quite as snug of a fit as cloth tape you end up getting just the right amount of wiggle room.

Hhhmmmm the metal tape measure sounds like a good idea! Thanks for the input and il be needin a cincy trip soon btw :)

Haha, well be careful, no guarantees, you know what they saw about internet advice...

As far as coming up for some jumps just hit me up anytime man, you got my number.

i do believe i do sir! depends on money as usual and i just screwed for a ltl under 10k! FML long story and dont even wana think about just wana say NEVER EVER EVER EVER EEVVVVEEERRR bang a chick without a condom!!!! if u knock her up ur tied to tha stoopid worthless whore for life!!!!

was she a stupid worthless whore when you were trying to get her pants off?
what will she be as the mother of your child?
condolences to all involved.

are you talkin about the first time? cuz no she was a decent person then i believe anyways. a little over a year later was when some kind of crazy transformation happened apparently. and as the mother of my child? she's a pitiful excuse for a parent, crazy kinds of self centered, almost worthless, and getting more immature it seems. is that a sufficient answer for you? i'l give you my number if you'd like a more indepth answer :) cheers

i only commented on the information available
usually "bang a chick" isn't made in reference to a
person with whom one is having an ongoing relationship
i actually empathize with you and your situation
and would support you in any effort to improve
your child's chance for a bright and loving future
pitiful parenting is a problem that many face and is
a direct result of the fact that there is no parent test
hopefully you will pull through this tough situation
and be the best parent you can be for your kid
god knows the world could do with a lot less tragedy

Was "with" her for almost yr and a half. Then I don't know wtf happened to her. Went crzy I guess. After that I was jus bangin her when I felt like it and ended up slippin up one time and that's all it took. Iv since been 100% for my ltl girl and miss alot of my life because of that but shes worth it and deserves it. She's my ltl side kick and I love her more than anything in the world!!!!! I take her to my mx races, base jumps, skydiving, and to the lake with me. Her mom and her family are a sad story to say the least. I do the best I can to make up for the SHAT circumstance that my pitiful rediculous negligence brought her into. I feel like crap everyday I wake up jus knowin wut I brought her into.

If you love her more than anything in the world, why would you basejump? or mx race?
sounds like you think it's important you're there for her so i doesnt sound right..

good point... i should stop driving too. and maybe stop showering anytime there are storms within 100 miles. i may stop eating bologna too.

It is a good point. If you think so poorly of the egg donor and her family why would you increase the chance of them raising your child a thousand-fold?

Tom sums it up pretty well here

but as always, BASE is freedom and you can do as you please
