Please make a decision after speaking with and flying with a qualified local resource. Don't listen to people on the internet, except me of course.........

She looked good in a white wetsuit in Fantastic Voyage also.

IMO the world would be a much better place if ALL "guns" vaporized overnight. then it's just hand to hand combat with edged weapons
-
That would be for the Perris Valley Ghostriders. Mick added a similar flap for the CFLEX(s). C = CReW Here's a photo of me wearing mine as i backflip out of a Skyvan on a "big way".

What options exist for low pack volume reserves
kleggo replied to gnasher70's topic in Gear and Rigging
"My Tempo 150 reserve sits pretty tight in my Vector might I be able to get a 170 low pack volume in the same reserve tray ?" in my experience a PD optimum 143 has very nearly the same pack volume as a "standard" PD 126 reserve, so moving up one size is doable if moving from standard to low pack. Ask your preferred canopy vendor to be certain -

Perris, not Paris, has $20 jumps Dec 26 2022 - Jan 1st 2023

the tower has been jumped many times before it was sold by Stupak to Strato. Probably jumped post strato also, but not by me or friends. how can something be "CGI jumped" and a neighbor watch it?
-
yes but it was called the Bob Stupak tower when we were having our fun maybe Las Vegas has a very efficient police force, or at least they did back in the day.

I saw him and said the same thing to Maya while watching / playing.

Stupidest thing you've ever done on a skydive...
kleggo replied to RolandForbes's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Thanks for sharing this interesting story. must have been a good camera flyer to match your velocity, no that I know that much about head down attitude speeds. -
unpack your main, store it loosely folded in a waterproof container in a dark area. If you use rubber bands, don't leave them wrapped around suspension lines since the rubber may / will degrade. clean any dirt from your harness / container, leave the reserve packed and store the "rig" in a waterproof container in a dark area. take it to your rigger for an I&R several weeks prior to jumping again. Have fun.

Yeah, me too. I was at the bottom. Sadly I watched Brian's daughter watch Brian go-in. Watching her running towards the river screaming "that's my dad" is still all too fresh in my mind. Lottsa controversy of the refresher training he received. Somehow I ended up in a refresher training review "tribunal". I was hounded by NPR for weeks to discuss what the "tribunal" discussed. I chose to not go on the record even though I generally like NPR. Best wishes Mike.

Which dropzone has the best weather (on average)?
kleggo replied to Marc K's topic in Events & Places to Jump
and you typically get to WS from West to East over a pretty lake. Occasionally the marine layer reaches as far as Otay june & july and delays first load. I like consistent winds -
Best dropzones for swoop training (especially winter months)
kleggo replied to Regulate's topic in Events & Places to Jump
I attended the swooping world champs @ Eloy a few weeks ago. Their pond is impressive. -

What is the maximum glide ratio for a wingsuit these days?
kleggo replied to alfonso904's topic in Wing Suit Flying
I just chatted with the current world champion WS pilot in performance category. I may be wrong but he is ~ 5'10 and 165 pounds???? definitely not abnormally tall or apey no matter what the actual values are -
Epicene vs Omicron for Beginning Wingsuiter w 500 Total Jumps
kleggo replied to AirJordan's topic in Gear and Rigging
just received my Omicron, had jumped an EPro. Only thing I can say right now is Omicron 140 seems to pack very slightly smaller than EPro 150.
