Re: [bsbd74] New Tony Suits ?
Gonna be coming out with the all new "Jeff Cordless" GoPro HD Velcro-Plus. Its basically a giant velcro wingsuit, and here's how it works... The jumper buys a few hundred GoPro HDs, puts velcro backing on them, and fills a bathtub, or some other large receptacle. Then, the jumper dons the suit, jumps into the tub, and rolls around. At this point, the velcro-backed GoPros will stick to the suit, completely covering it and allowing footage from every possible angle! Its great! I want one so bad.

Big ones. They fall slow, and go faster forward than the previous ones. Not sure what Ill wind up getting, but they seem pretty bad ass.

I just talked with Tony. He told me that along with your description Jordan he's going to have a see-thru Jock Strap so the jumpers Junk can hang out and be free. That way when the jumper does a fly-by he not only can yell at people and tell them how big his/her junk is, they can see it too.

For female jumpers he's going to have special prosthetic balls made.

He did state it shouldn't affect the camera's velcro.

Good to know. I hadn't heard about that mod yet. Can you special order this feature with some kind of magnifying material? Like those rear-view back-up windows for RVs? Just curious, of course. I mean, other people might be wondering about that, so I thought I would go ahead and ask.

Tony did mention Jeb actually requesting that mod. but also stated that:
"Objects in mirror are smaller than they appear"

He's going to trademark it as Ego-booster® for pilots with little to no Junk.

Tony is putting the finishing touches to the suits at the moment.

X-bird 2 (skydiving & BASE)
Apache (BASE - harness inside suit)

With PF launching 2 new suits as well this year (Venom and V4) it's going to be an interesting season :)
