Supair ACRO BASE SYSTEM: Pilot feedback

"En tant que BASE Jumper, j’ai souvent eu envie de pouvoir me larguer de mon parapente en cas de besoin. On faisait des auto-largages avec des systèmes de libération sur des sellettes montagne EVEREST et un sac de BASE sur le dos, mais difficile faire de l’acro avec ! (confort, résistance, sans planchette…), et pas de deuxième secours si tu tombes dans ta voile…
Le BASE SYSTEM résout le problème : tout y est, avec un design qui soude ! J’ai tout de suite été à l’aise dedans et tout les essais de largage dans toute les configurations (autorotation, twisté, phase parachutale) m’ont confirmé que c’est avec le BASE SYSTEM que je veux voler en acro. Et surtout on peut poser où on veut, en évitant les obstacles. Je n’ai pas encore eu besoin de l’utiliser en situation réelle, mais en volant à Chamonix au-dessus des remontées mécaniques, des pierriers, des glaciers et de la ville, je suis bien heureux d’avoir cette sellette sous les fesses. Attention ça ne résout pas tous les problèmes et il ne faut pas griller les étapes pour autant, mais l’ACRO BASE SYSTEM est un allié précieux dans l’évolution des pilotes en voltiges."

- Baptiste ROUSSET, Supair international team member

"Je vole avec l’ACRO BASE SYSTEM depuis 2010 et je sais qu’il y a beaucoup de choses que je ne voudrais plus faire sans, notamment tout ce qui est D-bag, ou acro dans des endroits peu accueillants."
