Bird-Man Track Pantz...

imported_mknutson · October 2nd, 2002, 05:17 AM

Bird-Man Track pantz will be on sale here at BLiNC Magazine store on October 14th.

Just a quick note to tell you that we will soon have the BirdMan Pantz available. If you have not heard, the Pantz are a revolutionary new skydiving pant design that allows you to achieve greater forward speed and lift. This is mainly because the Pantz have air inlets letting air and in causing the Pantz to inflate and become a larger, more rigid surface. Your leg power is greatly increased.

The prototypes have been a hit with BASE jumper, freeflyers, AFF JMs and tandem masters. While the Pantz's specialty is going forward, they work great for sit, head down jumps, and AFF and tandem jumpmasters wanting more leg power.

I am really intrigued by the concept...

Has anyone jumped them who can offer a review?

This is really interesting information, thanks Dwain!

Are you using a pro-track to determine minimum fall rate when testing the pants during a skydive? Or some other technology?

Many thanks in advance,

$234.00 + 3% credit card fee from Bird-Man
:o

Yes, the trackpantz works, but thats a lot of money for a pair of pants.
I have my own "homemade" trackpants, they cost me $25.00...
Out of the two, I prefer my own. 27sec from exit 5, Kjerag.
Vertical speed down to 75-76mph or 120-121km/h.
Say no more...

You don´t have to be genius to make a pair.(or maby I am?)

Ah be quiet Atle. You weigh less than 100 lbs and are over 6' :)

Hope you are doing well and thanks for the lap top in Norway.

Atle, you are a skinny dude with long legs. And that cigarette streamlines you giving you more lift. And also that strange tobacco helps you fly more I'm sure :-)

Hm, I thougt it was my fantastic pants that did the job...??
Maby it is the tobacco...

Introducing "Red 3" tracking tobacco, makes you wanna smoke it all the way down!
Smoke it, and feel the air flow trough your hair...

Yo guys,

After i have seen Atle`s 37 seconds delay at Karlskraatind, and Thomas`s 18 seconds from Gridsetskolten, when he tried the "tobacco pants". Thomas was willing to pay 5000 nok for Atle`s pants after that track.

Me and 3 others have now bought the tracking pants at G-sport in Norway they costs nok199,-

So now i have to borrow a sigarette with a smoker.
If the pants doesnt work i have to start smoking #red 3# the tracking tobacco....

He is a BASE jumper too, with one S and one A in his belt.But Gandalf has to work on stability to get the most out of his his fantastic tracking hat!

after jumping two prototypes i could say:
a revolutionary new ´toy´.
not only for playing-with fun in track dive.
starting after 4-5 sec. the track pantz can bring your track some meters and the jump some second. And even centimeters can save your life..sometimes.
as dwain said training on skydives is not a fault,
the pantz need the wright leg input.
and the best: they look cool ..also in the bar.
do not! lend them to your tracking partner(john)
he will winn the track ...and later in the bar he belives to look cooler.
well done robert!
take care
