-The Swooper Who Should’ve Known Better
ESC ID 1440 / AUD $5,800
Alright, gather ‘round, here’s one for ya.
So this mate of ours — you know the type — full-time swooper, part-time terrible decision maker. The kind of guy who’s never seen a riser he didn’t want to reef on. Can’t even spell “terminal,” but sure as hell knows how to arrive at it at high speed.
One day, he gets it in his head he’s gonna be a wing-suit pilot.
Everyone humours him, of course.
“Yeah mate, wing-suiting’s great, you’ll love it.”
Next thing you know, he’s walking into the DZ with this shiny Wings W5-3 EXT. Cut-in laterals, articulated hip rings with stainless steel hardware. Everything about it screams fly flat, fly far, stay up forever. Hell, you could almost see the birds nodding in approval.
-
Pilot7 137: The main’s immaculate. Fabric still crunchy like new Doritos.
-
Lines: Now, see, this is where the swooper comes out — riser loop wear says he’s been yanking like he’s still trying to drag himself out of a 1080. They’ll need swapping sooner not later.
-
Optimum 143 reserve: Clean, no drama and ready to prove itself.
-
Vigil II AAD: Serviced 2024, good till 2034 — because even bad decisions deserve backup.
Anyway — couple of half-hearted wing-suit flights later, he realises two things:
1️⃣ Wing-suiting isn’t swooping.
2️⃣ Wing-suiters don’t get the kind of attention landing patterns do.
The wing-suit gets stuffed in a gear bag, the rig’s been sitting ever since, and our mate went right back to trying to invent new canopy piloting rules.
This rig? Never really had a wing-suiter to call home.
But that’s where you come in. If you’re actually serious about flocks, distance, and looking majestic as hell across the sky, this one’s finally ready for someone who gets it.
The swooper’s loss. Your gain.
And now you’ve got a rig with a story to tell when you’re the one holding court here next summer.
nb: this story is full BS but its more fun than the truth!
