  1. Looks like it'll be a blast being able to wingsuit by your buddies skiing and snowboaring. Wingsuit physics look pretty arcade like unfortunately though. I saw some gameplay where someone exited off a 30-50ft hill and just started flying instantly haha

    The only wingsuit game I've found that has really good and realistic physics is Volo Airsports.

    https://volo-airsport.com/

    Indie game that's not super polished but the physics make it better than any other wingsuit game IMO.

  2. Just received the following email from grubb000 a few minutes ago about something I have in the classifieds.

    PS. I didn't reformat anything, that's how the e-mail was laid out.

  3. Ya, now that you mention I do remember seeing him post those pics. Weird, I double checked with my friend and his tail definitely extends more. Not sure why, it was just a normal order through squirrel's website, no special requests or anything.

    ***I'd imagine pretty similar. The Freak having a little more power and speed with the longer tail. The Foghead's tail ends at the floor. But both made for the same purpose. My Foghead is amazing, but pretty excited to test out the Freak.


    Actually they shortened the tail, so its the same length as the floor.
    This was a change they made after the videos.

    I'm not too sure though, my buddy just received his Freak and it has a longer tail like in the promotional video. I know on the website when you go to place an order though it does show the tail ending at the feet.

    For someone of Matt's calibre, I'd likely suggest the Blackmagic Design 4K Micro. It's not shipping just yet; having had a prototype, it's simply incredible.

    Sony's offerings are slim outside of the 1000V in 4K (for the skydiving world), at least right now. No one is doing an awesome job of 4K in a small/POV package just yet.



    Since the Micro Studio 4K version doesn't support internal/native recording would you also mount an external recorder if you were to jump it?

  6. Veryyy interesting. Noticed they also have the Blackmagic Design Micro Studio Camera 4K version too. The regular version differentiates between which fps it can shoot with global shutter and rolling shutter. I didn't see that differentiation with the 4K version, would that means the 4K version can shoot all specified fps with global shutter?

    I looked through all there technical specifications but couldn't find it specified anywhere.

  7. I don't jump there very often anymore but the DZ I started jumping at a few years ago hasn't used DVD's in at least 3 years, maybe more. Tandem students include their e-mail in the waivers and then within 24-36 horus (I think) they get sent online links to where the content is hosted and can be downlaoded.

  8. So I think we all get the point that you clearly don't have an issue with your suit swallowing handles. Can you not at least concede that it is possible on a different rig with a different sized body?? Have you even tried hooking it up to a variety of different rigs on different people? It seems you tried 1 suit with 1 rig on 1 person and have come to the conclusion that everyone else must be crazy because it works for you. I don't see why you are so defensive when people are simply trying to discuss the issue. I still haven't tried any suits from squirrel so I can't give any personal opinion. Just seems that you are absurdly certain in your conviction that it is impossible for this to be a real issue. Unless you have tried this on multiple different rigs with different body types I don't know how you can be so sure of yourself.

  9. Me and a couple of friends are thinking of heading to the Ranch in late April. I'm hoping to do basically all wingsuit jumps while I'm down there and I was just wondering if there were any wingsuit locals from The Ranch who'd be up for some jumps?

  10. Looks like you can start pre-ordering the new Havok starting tomorrow.

    ***What do you think?



    1) What problem is it fixing?
    2) Can we just get a couple pictures and words about how it works instead of a 4 minute video? :)

    From the description of the video it sounds like they want to make deployment on large wingsuits easier. This is what the description said

    "We are a bunch of people who strongly believe that the wingtip pouch should become THE standard among wingsuit deployment systems!
    The goal of this work is to make parachute opening much more easier when flying a (large) wingsuit.
    I developped it after loosing a handfull of good base jumping friends. I am convinced that the wingtip pouch can save lives."

    Doesn't look like this is something that would be advantageous for mid size wingsuits in the skydiving environment. I don't fly big suits or base jump though so maybe the people who do will see more potential in this

    ******Going back to the Russians in the video; what a bunch of idiots! That clearly shows little or no training and why you need to be an extremely skilled pilot/base jumper to achieve controlled proximity flights.



    That just seems like a very presumptuous and disrespectful thing to say coming from somebody with zero experience.

    We all were new once (I still consider myself a relatively new skydiver, and a very new BASE jumper). We all asked ridiculous questions. I just took offense when he started talking about how other jumpers are "idiots" for going in, and how his bicycle skills give him a qualified view of the sport.

    But whatever. Internet!

    I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking you are a complete prick.
    By the way, I was correct last time. You said a friend of yours died so that makes you -1 friend.
    I really hope you see him soon.



    I was pretty much on your side till this post. Yes there were people giving you negative comments about your approach to the whole situation but that was uncalled for. Once you made a death threat over an internet argument you pretty much lost all credibility. Like others have said I would recommend you just stop posting here till you've got some real world experience. Especially after issuing a death threat, I doubt you will receive any more good advice on here.

  16. I definitely agree with the whole LSBS idea. I ran into a jumper wearing an X-bird, at the time I had about 90 ws jumps and was jumping my R-bird. I asked if he wanted to go on a 2-way and assumed he would come up with a dive plan since he was in an X-bird and had to have more experience than me. To my surprise he had 20 ws jumps and had been jumping an X-bird since around his 10th ws jump. He told me he tried a prodigy and phantom 3 but they just didn't have enough power...

  19. Thanks for all the advice! I actually have a RW suit with booties on the way, so i will make sure I'm using my regular helmet etc to minimize the difference from previous jumps. Headed to my home DZ tomorrow so it will be interesting to see what they say in comparison to all the advice given here. Thanks for everything, definitely a lot of good advice and things to think about.

  21. Hey, I'm a fairly new jumper. Started PFF in April and now have my A license and 36 jumps. I'm looking to do more RW work in the future and thinking about getting full face helmet at some point. I've tried some on at my home DZ and found a few that are a good fit for me. Just wondering if you have any advice for a novice jumper such as myself transitioning to a full face helmet?

    Thanks in advance
