Amazon 7 #4 October 6, 2003 WHOA.. dude you so need to hide that picture from Blue Eyed Monster.. he will stalk you for that suit I was thinking about making a speed run with nuffin on at Eloy... just for grins....but that could be really dangerous without a sports bra I need to make a purty red vinyl suit this winter for making some runs.. maybe if I can get it made... I will bring it to Eloy and dive it there. The reason I keep talking about Eloy.. because the Fog and clouds have drifted in off the Pacific here in Seattle.. and probably wont let up till next May.

bobsled92 0 #5 October 7, 2003 This is the suit that I bought from a Latvian Luge coach during their World Cup at Lake Placid. It was my last year on the Bobsled team & Skeleton (1993) It's air worthy but, shows it's age. I on the other hand, refuse to ACT my age._______________________________ If I could be a Super Hero, I chose to be: "GRANT-A-CLAUS". and work 365 days a Year. http://www.hangout.no/speednews/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jeanne Are you going to JUmptown next Aug. for the SPEED meet? Stan has it confirmed with the DZ and I'll be there. ProTrack keeps the numbers that are important and the other numbers(age) are pointless: we'll all be in latex suits and sitting on each others laps "....oh!, I'm just happy to see you"_______________________________ If I could be a Super Hero, I chose to be: "GRANT-A-CLAUS". and work 365 days a Year. http://www.hangout.no/speednews/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazon 7 #8 October 7, 2003 I will have to set aside some time for that for sure.. but AUG.. sheesh... that will be a busy month for sure... I usally take a week off in teh middle of the month to go kill salmon at the mouth of the Columbia River. that is when the BIG chinook usually show up... and then.. there is Lost Prairie Boogie.. man... what a party in the boonies... So I wonder how many latex and vinyl fetishists get tinto Speed... for uh.... reasons other than just GOING fast... Jeanne Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What's *really* fast for speed skydiving, not max, but average? hey, do you have any jumptrack graphs with 250+ average ? that's pretty good. i don't think anyone whould get 250 average without intentions to go fast :) talking about average here i meant not speed skydiving average speed over 1 vertical km but average registred by protrack for the whole jump. and i assume your protrack is not in your helmet, but on your laterals. but anyway, it's fast :) stan. -- it's not about defying gravity; it's how hard you can abuse it. speed skydiving it is ...
