Anyone out there that has jumped the whole range?

-Phoenix-fly, "normal" and Power Tracking Suit
-Intrudair, "normal" and Ultimate Tracking Suit
-Pressurized, Tube4
-Squirrel, Sumo
-Tonyfly, Masai
-S-Fly, Cruise
-Rami, Raven

I think I have the lineup complete, if I should have forgotten one, please let me know.

I jump a Phoenix-Fly Power Tracking Suit at the moment, so far only from the plane. Huge step up from the previous Intrudair i've had.

What is your verdict on them?

ive use original pf, power pf, ultimate, and sumo

I cant give you an opinion on what is the best because I suck on all of them

I think you should get a REALLY large wingsuit. That will solve all your problems!

Which one did you like best? And why?

Rami is making the Raven tracking suit as well

yeah but I only have a small wing suit guess I need to upgrade!

I have not base jumped the sumo but the rest I have
I like my ultimate seems to inflate fast and Im most comfortable on it just because of the number of jumps I have on it.

I forgot, thanks!

Is it sold already? Has anyone besides the master himself jumped it yet?

I've jumped the PF regular (which I own & jump most), the PF power, a Tube3, & the Sumo. Although I don't have all that many jumps on anything but the PF standard suit, I'd rank them in that same order in terms of 'power'. I'll defer to the old guard for more valuable insight.

PF reg
PTS
Sumo
Tube 3
Masai

original PF and Masai. Original PF, because even though it is very little suit, it has tremendous potential in the right hands. Masai because I couldn't care less about perfecting my sub terminal track these days and I can pretend to be an awesome tracker.

"Masai is cheating!"

(said by a masai-jumper)

Have you done any close terminal tracking with the Sumo? I'd be interested to know how it turns. I find I lose a lot of altitude when I try a big turn in my wide PF tracking suit (the one before the PTS).

Does anyone else find that the PTS has a tendency to like being flown flatter than than it's predecessor??

I made several jumps on a Raven early prototype a couple weeks ago. They are not the finished model that he is selling and I was using an original PF jacket with them. The prototype certainly had power, and the finished product should have even more. I only have experience jumping the original PF suit, so I can not compare it to anything else. The Raven definitely has more power than standard PF. I was impressed enough to buy it for sure. Hopefully get it soon :) .

Was that guy in a black masai? I hear he is a colossal idiot.

Garry: no I haven't

No black masai, but a colossal idiot anyway!

Just bumping this up, not a whole lot of replies.

Looks like this BASE-board is full of non-jumpers!

Redline Aerosports makes a tracking suit , I haven't flown it yet but when I get back from afghan land I'm going to rent one. Walts a good dude and will answer any question you have.
