The Neptune Challenge....	Can't Post

I'm un-officially starting a contest for the lowest recorded opening on your neptune/dytter. You MUST use a skydiving rig and exit from a plane with a wingsuit. Post a picture of your neptune for proof... The winner gets a steak dinner from Tom A. Sly

Here's my entry........

They are not always right, and I am sure there is someway to spoof them....Then there is photochop.

Re: [Anvilbrother] The Neptune Challenge.... [In reply to]	Can't Post

regardless of the altitude varialbes that go along with audible alitimers...... The show must go on!!

I thought this was an obvious rule, but I'll say it anyways.

NO PHOTO EDITING ALLOWED!!

Abuse of this rule is punishable by being banned from the forums for 7 days Tongue

If your exit altitude is correct, as well as your opening altitude, I'd say your time of only 2 mins 46 seconds, your flying skills, well....... SUCK! Laugh

Hope you dont have a mal at that altitude on your skydiving gear.

And what a great way to get booted off the dz.... Wink

If you want to comment on the size of another guy's organ, I suggest you take it to PM's.

I'll give you 14 days to think about that.

But he has a skydiving rig, which was the rule you stated. What canopy were you using?

I'm sure you could spoof it by using the 'DZ offset' facility.

Re: [dhracer33] The Neptune Challenge.... [In reply to]	Can't Post

to keep this from being a purely photoshop contest, I suggest these two additional rules:

- you must post video from your perspective

- you must post video from the ground

this will make it fun for all the online spectators Shocked

to try and keep it from being carnage (in case there are enough Crazy

stoopid

people out there willing to do this with the wrong equipment and/or experience ) I suggest this additional rule:

- you have to be able to stand up the landing and walk away from it uninjured

having said that, did you really only have an open skydiving canopy at 400 ft ?

Re: [whatever] The Neptune Challenge.... [In reply to]	Can't Post

I was just thinking how cool it was that Wingsuit flying in the skydive enviroment hasn't resulted in fatal injuries yet (resulting from direct use of the suit) Good to see someone working hard on changing that!!

If you wanna be cool...hold a no-pull contest and land the f*ker Cool

What difference does that make? Crazy

USPA dz or not, any DZO/DZM that sees you pulling at 400ft intentionally will most likely send you walking.... Wink

Re: [mccordia] The Neptune Challenge.... [In reply to]	Can't Post

for the record, I'm not advocating this 'contest' as a good idea...

and as for there being no wingsuit fatalities yet, unfortunately you are mistaken about that, as one of the pioneers of the modern era of wingsuit flying died on a wingsuit jump and the cause seems pretty clearly linked to his wingsuit... Frown

and that's not even counting all the birdmen from before the 'modern era of wingsuiting', you know, the era where it's quicker to count the survivors rather than the fatalities... Unsure

they may be gone, but they are not forgotten
