very nice :) that suit will be extremely hard to balance :) today was freaking cold and i
got some nice speed going. got one jump with 253 mph average for the whole jump.
i guess it was too cold and i wanted back to the ground fast :)

WHOA.. dude you so need to hide that picture from Blue Eyed Monster.. he will stalk you for that suit:P

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.

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.:ph34r:

Hey I am with you on that one... just ask Skymama:P

Although in my own defense.... how the hell am I supposed to act at my age... MOST of the people I know who are my age... are FREAKIN BORING as CHIT.

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:ph34r:
"....oh!, I'm just happy to see you":D

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...;)

Ok, I've got to really start working on my HD...I've done 275Max and in the 250's for an average before without meaning to go fast...

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 :)
