Dear Steph,
It is a very nice video, thanks for sharing it with us!

May I ask, what happened with your flying gear that was lost by United?

Cheers from your fan Irina.

Thank you Irina! This video is memorializing that gear, which has never been seen again since the flight home from Zurich, after that trip to Switzerland…..

United did finally reimburse us for all the lost equipment. The next wingsuit I will be flying will be a red Five Ten Vampire 3, and also two new Five Ten canopies! That is very exciting
But since BASE gear is all custom, it takes months and months to produce. It will be ready in March.

It’s been a long wait, but the new gear is going to be so nice!

GoPro? I recognized the little black dot (which makes me crazy) on the sun.

Dangit, Steph! I try not to watch too much flying when it’s not flying weather here and I know it might be a few more weeks. Couldn’t resist, though…thanks for posting. Looks like fun!! Now to be patient…
