  1. Jarno, you are insanely good at flying that wingsuit and get some extremely awesome shots out of it. Great work!
  2. And make sure the pilot is cocked...if green isn't in the window you need fix something.
  3. In all honesty you shouldn't be flying it if you can't gauge altitude with your eyes. The point of this product is to help dial in a good glide ratio and forward speed.
  4. I've never had a line twist. Unless you count a 1/4 twist but that was because I dumped in a full track which isn't very wise.
  5. My description on how to do it was horrible. lol Pictures always help. Best to just ask the guys you are doing the jump with.
  6. If you need to get lower, then spread your arms out and raise them up behind you.
  7. We just need a Libertarian in office. Stop this two-party crap where the media controls who wins.
  8. I bought this pair of Monkey Grease multipurpose gloves from Home Depot for $10. (see attached) Got 3 jumps with them today. Work great and can feel the hacky just fine! And no cutting feeling on the hands when pulling the toggles after freezing them in the air lol
  9. At least she doesn't have to worry about deploying the non-existent chute she's wearing ;p
  10. I heard there was even a third DZ there just on the other side of the runway lol
  11. Man z-hills looked really different back then.
  12. Why did they extend the deadline when they met the requirements like 3 days after it was first published? lol
  13. I can, but it IS difficult at my extremely low skill level and during a really hard track. Everything becomes very twitchy at a point. It's like a balancing act lol but I will definitely learn. Trying to make it like second nature without having to think about it.
  14. I actually haven't purchased an audible yet but was looking into it. Been working on the eyeball shindig, though. Clouds help a LOT with judging. I'll spot where the clouds are altitude-wise on the way up, then I have a nice gauge. They usually start around 5K here. This is the chest mount I was looking at that someone at the DZ had on: http://www.boneheadcomposites.com/m8/503--mud-flap-altimeter-mount.html Flysight is definitively on my to-get list.
  15. It screws up my track no matter how I check it. Getting a chest mount soon enough, though. BUT Audibles ARE an option! And it makes full on tracking jumps that much easier. That's all I'm saying. There are many good uses for the Audible. But never only jump with an audible...always have the ol' trusty wrist watch.
  16. I do nothing but tracking jumps and it gets really annoying having to stop my track to check my altitude. Audible's are heaven to me! trick is to never use just one. I see people using 3 Audibles at once each jump.
  17. I'd like to assume the GoPro's "image stabilization" problem is actually just the mount it was attached to? Possibly?
  18. GoPro 2 seems to have a little more brightness and kinda "cools" down the colors. Sony HDR does have a better(safer) build design for skydiving, though. Can it survive a 13,000 foot drop? Either way you can't go wrong with either of these. After watching footage from the GoPro 3 Black Edition, I feel like the GoPro2 is better, anyways.
  19. And how big of a burrito you had the night before.
  20. Last time I did the "lift" flare I ended up head-down cause of the stall lol
  21. Has anyone tried this stuff? My boss and a few other people swear by it. One said he has been using it during the winter time for the past 3 years and has not gotten sick once. I normally get colds during the winter due to my activeness and being forced into the elements quite often. I just bought myself a bottle. Can't hurt to try! What has your experience been with this stuff? http://www.airbornehealth.com/
  22. It's just another tact in order to get more votes. Third partys have been trying for decades to get recognized but they just can't compare to the publicity that demos/repubs get. But if we were to get a total of 15% of the votes, then the Libertarians would be included in the next presidential debate, and gives us a much greater chance at finally being elected. That's what the 5% more is all about. It's baby steps but no one can say that we aren't trying! We want Gary to win.

  24. Well, Third parties might be included after this election: From Gary Johnsons Facebook: "What would America be like if we had a third choice for President? Gov. Johnson represents that choice. Protest the two party stranglehold on America and support Gov. Gary Johnson. All we need is 5% of the nationwide popular vote to change the political landscape of this country forever! Make it happen and be part of the 5% that changes America." I think he is at 10% right now and just needs 5% more to be including in the next primary.
  25. I've noticed the Romney people usually stay with Romney after hearing about Gary for those exact reasons. Luckily its mostly the Democrats that really like him and that are actually going to vote for him. But anything is better then obama. who I'd vote for in order: 1: Gary Johnson 2: Ron Paul 3: Mitt Romney 4: Turd Sandwich N/A: Obama
