  1. I've emailed the USPA many times trying to get a judge course. It seems futile at this point.
  2. Specter 150 at ~ 1.4 Protrack II speed ~ 12mph
  3. They CAN cause them, good bags with more magnets do not.
  4. Right, right, I forgot this was DZ.com. Let me rephrase. Yeah, it will work, but that doesn't mean its the best option.
  5. Not quite the PD gear raffle but still pretty good! What you are supporting. A skydiving documentary coming summer 2018. The intent of the full length film is to show people what modern skydiving is and what it means to the skydiving community. The film will also bring awareness to issues facing the sport such as the privatization of the FAA's Air Traffic Control service. It will show skydiving in a positive light as opposed to what the public often sees in the media. I hope that this will encourage skydivers to advocate for the sport, as well as inspire viewers to try it. We plan to submit the project to major film festivals like the Telluride Film Festival, Sundance Film Festival, SXSW Film Festival, as well as several smaller festivals. The trailer can be seen on the project homepage here: www.skydivexecorp.com. The second trailer will be out in a few weeks. By purchasing a ticked you help with some of the production costs such as music rights (about $750 per song) and outside graphic design. 750 total tickets at $20 apiece. You can buy as many as you want. There are about 650 left. You can purchase tickets here: www.skydivexecorp.com/support. Transactions processed by Paypal. What you can win. First: 50% off Wings base container L&B Viso II + L&B Optima II Flysight $100 Chuting Star Points $25 Paragear Certificate Second: 50% off Wings base container Flysight $50 PD gift Certificate Third: 50% off Wings base container $25 Paragear Certificate Fourth: 50% off Wings base container All the winners get swag and everyone that enters will get a digital cover of the film sent to the email address they provide.

  6. Yeah, it will work. It is just a docile canopy.
  7. The 3rd Annual Alaska Skydive Center Summer Solstice Boogie, will be June 19-24, 2018. If you talked to anybody who attended last year than you know this is a boogie not to be missed. From the incredible views to the local bar farmer dance offs. The things you can see and do in Alaska will rival any other boogie out there. So buy that package and book that ticket to the land of "where the odds are good but the goods are odd!"

  8. There is a gear raffle to support a skydiving documentary that is coming out this summer. The raffle supports production costs like music rights and outside graphic work. Check it out below. Link to the first trailer: www.skydivexecorp.com Link to raffle tickets and more info: www.skydivexecorp.com/support Link through Wings facebook post: https://www.facebook.com/skydivewings/posts/1861364083897297 Each Ticket is $20, there are a total of 750 tickets, and about 650 remaining tickets. Get yours, they are going quick.
  9. The amount of time between releasing the PC and feeling the bag leaving my back is quicker. As I said before when you compare the on footage it is more stable and inflates faster.
  10. I can tell the difference between my snatch and my old PC. You can also see the difference on video. Inflates and stable much faster. Like I said OP can make their own. The design is open source.
  11. I realized I don't care that much after making my comment. Just remember you cannot use fixed wing assumptions on a wingsuit.
  12. Squirrel sky snatch, you will never go back. Also the pattern is open source so they will send you the pattern to make your own.
  13. This is an awesome idea. I've never done a WOWS even but it was my understanding that the gates are based off of GPS coordinates. How does knowing airspeed help more than knowing groundspeed?
  14. As many of you have probably noticed net-neutrality is being attacked again. If you don't know what it is, net-neutrality means that all internet traffic must be treated the same by internet service providers. No traffic can be given preferential treatment or slowed down. Who I am, why i'm advocating for net-neutrality. I'm a former Navy Information Technician where I worked with military intel. I have a Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering and currently earning my Masters in Public Administration with a focus on Policy Analysis. Repealing net-neutrality is bad for everyone except large internet service providers like Comcast, AT&T, and Verizon. It does not matter if you are a democrat, republican, or independent, repealing net-neutrality is bad for everyone.

  16. I made a fun little video for my Freak 2 unboxing.

  18. Get cheep walmart shoes. There is no point in destroying expensive shoes. Also you need a smooth bottom so you can get those sweet slide in landings!
  19. That works well, what I was envisioning was different. That could be pretty cool.
  20. Unless the tattoo is really big and or your artist it really good it will look bad. Those references don't have anything to depth.
  21. It's mine. By unedited I mean to is no color correction or effects applied. I just put it into the format compatible with most peoples displays. Also 24fps is the standard that people are used too.
  22. If you are interested in getting the GoPro 6 here is some unedited sample footage. Here is some raw GoPro 6 footage It was filmed at 4k/60 and reduced to 1080/24. Here is some raw GoPro 6 footage It was filmed at 4k/60 and reduced to 1080/60.
