Wingsuit Practice

[squirrel]

I've been at the drop-zone jumping the hell out of my new wingsuit in preparation for a trip to Arco Italy. Other than getting unzipped quickly, are there any other skills or techniques I could be doing to prepare for BASE wingsuit flights?

FYI, I have a pin-rig and I also got the Leg cut away system....

I think the practice of unzipping quickly is overrated. It shouldn't be so fast that you affect the opening while your body loads unsymmetrically becuase of your unzipping. Pop the wings if you really need to use your arms quick.
Just my 2 cents. Bring a sail slider if you jump a vented canopy, you might prefer it. All depends on what kind of performance you get. A 38" PC is the way to go I think. My 32" was too small last season.

Enjoy.
