Recently Sold my "pre-BIRDMAN break-up" SF3 and now am looking for a BASE friendly wingsuit.

Those of you out there that actually Wingsuit BASE, I am looking for advice on whats the "best."

I know that "best" is subjective, so let me break it down further. I would like a suit with performance, but reliability and safety should be more important.

I have about 150-200 wingsuit skydives mostly focused on performance jumps or videoing a few flocking dives.

Further info:

I have been thinking about the vampire series, but tony suits have a little bit of my interest also. I would be willing to listen to pros and cons on the BM series of suits also.

I recommend the Flockus II and then later you can step up to the Rigor Mortis II. I have NOT taken my Rigor Mortis v1.0 off an object yet, but the first time I flew it what was immediately noticed was how stable it was even for being a big wing. The Flockus II is very much like the RM 1, even better though. Talk to Nick, the added bonus is that your manufacturer would be close by.. Nitro Rigging is in Florida...

I have the RM I that nick made. VERY VERY stable. I have quite a few jumps on it. ( No BASE ) I love flying it. I'm sure you'll figure it out. I heard there are a lot of WS cliffs where your at. HA
