Carabiner for BASE

Recently I deployed my base system and encountered a problem: It just released one side.

I heared about that several times and deployed the system several times on the ground, but I never thought that this is possible. The middle ring stuck in the carabiner so strong that I hung on that one side and had to push the ring through the carabiner manually.

Probably I have to add that I pulled the release while flying straight ahead and being tandem passenger, so there was no force to pull me "away" from my suspension point.

92kg Pilot looking for freestyle wing

Hi guys,

I'm getting step by step into the ''let's pull the lines'' game.

As I am looking for more fun than with my BGD punk (which is actually really good!)

I'm looking for comparison between the recent freestyle wings, maybe even acro one on a loooooooow wing loading. I know absolutely nothing about the differences between a freestyle3, octane2,f-gravity2...

High B wing that works well for acro

Hi,
I’m hoping to resume some acro training this year but would like to get the basics dialled on a high B wing that I can also use for some XC.
Pal T has shown the rush 4 was perfect for this. Does anyone have any recommendations for bit newer wing that will perform likewise of the rush 4?

Happy new year,
Lewis.

Towing with SupAir Acro Base

Hi all,

My friends and I will start doing some regular auto towing soon. Since we'll be doing acro over ground, I'm considering buying the SupAir Acro Base. I've read some topics here, and see that people do tow with the base harness, attaching the tow bridles in different ways.

AirG Emilie Smile

Hey,

does anybody know why there are not more people flying an Emilie Smile? According to the website it's basically the Peace with lower break pressure. I am currently flying the Emilie Peace and considering switching to the Smile since I don't like the high break pressure so much. Are there any reasons I shouldn't?
