  1. ahhhhhh just had the pleasure of snagging a freebag for a friend yesterday at crazy crew. when you grab a freebag, you realize just how fast you are flying forward! (and it looks pretty cool when you're shooting video at the same time too) i made one pass on the main............... and demurred. it was still flopping / flailing and inflating sporadically. looked like black death waiting to me. i've cought a few mains, but only when they are a compact mass and i can grab them with a toe stab as fly by. anything that gets higher than my ankle is jettisoned. be safe craig f

    BASE CRW jumps

    pasi best of luck with the continuing history. my personal experience 1. brief biplane at Bridge Day 86 or 87 with a guy from ohio named tracey? 2. 30 second plus 2 stack - biplane - side-by-side from one half of a dome in 87 or 88 with a dude now living in Oz. 3. same year, same site, biplane rot's on the way to the meadow with another friend 4. unintentional, (blush), very brief 2 stack with a friend at BD ~ 1988. sorry, but i was never real good at loging, so no firm dates available. can't provide other names on this forum without their permission. contact me if you wish. sorry i missed you a Lake wales last turkey day Congratulations! BSBD craig f always ready for more
  3. i'll be in switzerland for the second week of March. Gil, or another local contact, will you email me so that i will be aware of the current situation? thank you craig fenstermaker base #93 [email protected]
  4. my preferences at t.v. when jumping an; unvented F-111 canopy = mesh vented F-111 canopy = no expereince ZP top skin canopy = sail (mesh = ouch!) preferred configuration = F-111 with mesh i also like to use a "slag", a sleeve / bag made of spandex that i pull over the canopy. it seems to work well to inhibit center-cell-stripping without effecting on-heading performance, ( i do not pull the slag ove the nose).

  5. all this information is nice, but no one answered my question about how that particular two way scene was shot. any body that knows wanna share? thanks kleggo
  6. i recently saw this video broadcast on cable tv. it had an amazing shot of a two way going off a sweet wall where it looked like they opened within about 6 feet of each other. the pov was the low guy with a helmet cam facing bacwards. no shit, it seemd like the top guys foot was less than 6 feet away from the low guys head while he was getting straightened up by opening shock that was either; 1. some extremely precise timing 2. good luck 3. amazing ground based zoom technology anybody got any further info on this? is there a full length video of this trip? i know how i'll be spending some of my MN severance package. kleggo base 93

  10. i need a weight "garment" suitable for carrying 30 - 35 pounds of lead. i only do CReW. Yes, i'm aware weight can be added to the rig, but let's only discuss vests / belts / jackets for now. Who makes something suitable for this purpose? thanks, craig

    First experience

    that's a pretty strong statement dont you think? which part? the one about tandem jumps being equivalent to a carnival ride???? it seems true simply by inspection. at least for the rider, not always true for the ridee. stay safe kleggo
