Change gravity Acro NC or Woody valley mk1?

I have a Advance Sucess 5 that I want to replace with a new more less damped harness. I have looked at Change gravity Acro NC and the WV MK1.
Have anyone pf you tested these two harness and can you give me some feedback. My friend have a Acro T that i tested on and I really like the leg loops. I hate the two lines in the groin on my Advance Success5, the make it more pr less inpossible to balance without pain.

New wing advise ?

Hi there.

Flying since several years a gradient FS3 in 22sqm, (80-120kg) while being 92kg naked, i struggle with helicopter.

I ended under my rescue in organya, and recently as well in siv after several twists.

That's why i'm looking for something else that would make the learning easier.

My concern is that i'm not willing to buy something like an epic, which despite being amazing, would forbid me to keep on training my tumblings to be axed.

Reserve age

My reserve is 11yrs old. The manafacturer says it has a 12 yr lifespan. How can i tell when its worn out? Apart from visual inspection can a porosity test be done? Its a X one 90kg.
Thanks

Packing Supair Acro 4

Hello eveyone

Im brand new on this Forum
I just started on my journey in Acro
Currently i fly with a normal harness and an additional resevere in a frontcontainer but i dont really like the frontcontainer
currently im looking at the Supair Acro 4 but because i mostly use my motorcycle to go flying packing is a bit of a concern for me.
Does anyone have some experience packing that harness?
If yes, what size pack do you use?

Base harness failure modes

On occasion we hear about accidents and even fatalities associated with the use of base harnesses. I haven´t been able to really find much information though about what can go wrong and what to take care of.

On one occasion I heard that an failed release was due to the release rings not passing through all the way, but not sure if this was a design, assembly or maintenance issue.

Do you have knowledge of things that have or can go wrong specifically with these harness types? If so, please share.
