we have lost one of the best

Tonto thanks for all the great advice and the awesome skydives.

My heart goes out to everybody that knew Tonto and especially to Taya and his family.

You personally friendship and knowledge will be missed.

Good bye T

Amazing stuff, but I must be honest that scared me just watching it !

Hi Jarno


Great video the wait was worth it :)

Cheers

How about Dragons !!

Hmm I don't know Zee

As big biking fan it difficult decision for me

No worries Jarno ... just dying with anticipation to see what wizardry you'll pull out the hat to wow us with.

P.s. An actually skydive always comes before editing

Close call .. Glad you didn't loose anything

Hmm, I placed my order but haven't heard anything yet. I'll just have to place another order.

Hi Jarno

You guys make sure you wow the crowd and enjoy.

Btw it's end of the week hows the AN-72 video coming along?

Hilarious

BWAAAAAHHHH!!!! THATS MY BOY RIAAN!!...Showing us the South African burble cart wheel move Priceless


Edit: Be afraid,be very afraid of the Grim Reaper aka black death aka Pierre

We South Africans staged that move to show that we could recover from anything !!

It does also look like Pierre started the move, which was not the way we planned it on the dirt dive I was suppose to hit his burble

Very nice teaser

Enjoy Hungary!

Agreed, the same goes for the guys in Schaffen ..

And a big thanks to Mark Harris for distracting me ever so often with his amazing back flying.

Hi

I would just like to say thanks to all the organizers and wingsuiters who attended the AN-72 boogie. I had loads of fun.

Hopefully I'll see you all again next year !!

Hi

1:30minutes of work left then a day or packing and organising all the small stuff. Then the SA birds are
meeting at JHB international at 20:00 :)

If your not joining us we'll think of you, while you're fly
your desk at work :P

Next stop Amsterdam !!!

All organizing was going so smoothly

None

But you must be paid up member or temporary member or PASA - Parachute Association of South Africa

Skydive insurance ? Can I buy it at the DZ ?

I do have accident cover and health insurance for the trip, but no skydiving insurance?

I will most probably not bring my Vortex but my valcun as it a bigger container with bigger canopy

Hi Guys/Girls

I need some help. In June-July I am going to Belgium and Germany for some jumping.

I would like to know what the regulations are around using non-TSO'd equipment in both countries.

You help is appreciated.

Regards

Personally I think it went exceptional well for a first time. I enjoyed every moment of every dive even when I had another wingsuiter ridding me like cheap carnival ride
. We all learnt a hell of a lot.

I am looking forward to next years competition.

BTW here is a link to the Mal I had while using my Hurricane

http://www.skydivingmovies.com/ver2/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=5680

70kg's(Me) + 7kg(Rig) = 77kg * 2.2 = 169.4 pounds


Loaded the 124 Pilot at 1.36 at 4000ft above sea level. Compared to my Hurricane 120 the pilot pretty much has no flare power.

Hi

I am currently jumping my wingsuit with a Hurricane(eliptical). I am looking at changing my canopy to something more suitable.

You might ask why change now ? Well in June I'm heading over to europe for some wingsuiting including the AN-72 Boogie. I would like to avoid malfunctions as much as possible. I would hate to sit on the ground after a mal waiting for end of the day so that some one could pack my reserve.

As far as the canopies goes that I listed in the poll, these are the ones I am considering. Among them my least favorite is the pilot and ZP exe. I had the opportunity this past weekend to jump a 120 pilot and I must say I really disappointed by it's flare power and length of flare stroke. The ZP exe well, it's like flying a giant lung with the way it breaths.

If there is another canopy I should consider please let me know. I would appreciate some advice.

P.s. Do I require a TSO'd rig when jumping in europe?

Regards

Thanks Lou

I just wanted to get a general feel of how things will be run.

P.s. busy downloading the podcast as we speak.

Cool I think I can live with that
