Hi! My friend wants to buy a wingsuit but he doesn't know English. So he asked me to help him with searching the information. Would you help two aliens to clear up some things? How does the Robert cut away system work? Thanks! __*______________________________ Little SkyWitch http://www.skydiveua.info ______________________________*__

I understand And what is the best approximate slope angle for such things? Tomorrow we are leaving to mountains.. so very soon you'll know the results of this crazy event __*______________________________ Little SkyWitch http://www.skydiveua.info ______________________________*__

I think, internet is the only way to find an experienced person and to discuss the question with people who did it that is the reason of my writing here instead of experimenting on the mountain with the canopy __*______________________________ Little SkyWitch http://www.skydiveua.info ______________________________*__

This week-end me and group of kiev skydivers are going to visit Carpathian mountains. The Trostyan mountain is one of the biggest and most inviting for snowboarders and skiers mountain. We want to try speeding up of our canopies from the mountain. I know this is not very safe and a good experience is needed. I also know about blade running. But still I have a huge amount of questions. Are there people who can help me to find answers or at least any information concearning blade running? The questions are: 1. Is it possible to speed up any canopy from the mountain/ How to do it 2. What should be the characteristics of the mountain: the area, the angle of the slope? the width of run, the width between blades 3. What should be the characteristics of the canopy: wing load, quantaty of cells (7 or 9), high performance or ellipticall or just square. 4. What should be the wind: side, from the bottom, upper. What does the direction of the wind influence at? 5. How to equip oneself properly? Is it necessary to put on any supplementary protection? Are there any special safety rules? What sould be the level to start blade running 6. Is it necessary to upgrade the canopy system for blade running? For ex., to put off the slider, to lengthen lines or something else? 7. What about the possible injuries? How to avoid any unpleasant situations, etc... 8. Is it possible to call blade running a skydiving discipline? Are there (were there) any competitions, championships? What are the rules? 9. Who were the participants or is it possible to talk with one of the experience blade runner? Thanks if you have read all of that up to the end I'm very interested in all information about blade running. Thanks one more time

The question of the geographical centre of Europe is as disputable as the question "if there is a life on Mars". Moreover, there are some central points of Europe as the methods of its calculation are different. Inspide of the circuit or tetragon, Europe doesn't have any exact central point, but the most approximate and recognized is near the town of RACHOV in Western Ukraine. According to some informational sources a statue of Jesus Christ is being erected in this very point. A chapple and a touristic complex will be built in the statue area either.

While reading an article, I came across some unclear things concearning 3D hybrid craze jumps. 1. Why tracking is considered to be a 3D jump? Or maybe it's just another kind of tracking... 2. What is pylon race dive and mixed belly and back pylon races. How is it jumped? thanks beforehand __*______________________________ Little SkyWitch http://www.skydiveua.info ______________________________*__

There is a belief: if one smokes some marijuanna before jump a green hamster will come to him while freefall __*______________________________ Little SkyWitch http://www.skydiveua.info ______________________________*__

In non-skydiving life we have a lot of superstitions and believes. Such as black cat crossing the road. The most popular skydiving superstitions in my country are: 1. to "help" the plane while taking off by rising hands "in chorus"; 2. to change the word "last" with "forelast" or "prelast" 3. not to shave before jumps - you can cut the luck; 4. prignent women-riggers cannot pack the canopy (men's belief); 5. BSBD 6. to selebrate a jubilee jump; 7. to drink 100 gram of cognac before jumping day to improve the forecast and drive away clouds 8. etc.... I'm sure everyone has something to share. Thus, we can complete a booklet of skydiving folklore __*______________________________ Little SkyWitch http://www.skydiveua.info ______________________________*__
