  1. Knock knock... Who's there? The world outside the US. The UK has a formal WS coach rating. No it's not perfect, and the methods suggested (note, suggested) for teaching are very dated - but, there is still a semblance of rating verification.

  3. Thanks. It is very interesting I have just searched the entire policy, terms or business, policy schedule and policy summary (every document they provided) for my last trip and it only says that "parachuting" is covered. There is no definition of parachuting or excluding specific disciplines. Note that we paid the excess to get parachuting cover not the standard. I wonder if it is legal for them to exclude a payment when they have not notified you of the restrictions in advance? I used to be insured with Columbus many years ago when they did cover skydiving. When the policy needed renewing (under the terms they now offer) I asked for them to confirm parachuting. They deemed it as static line, or a jump without free fall (not including BASE), and it also must not be the sole purpose of the trip. I would speak to them before you make any more trips as I highly doubt you're covered for what you think you are. I did have a great policy with AXA which i managed to keep going for years even though they discontinued it. Unfortunately they've now stop me renewing so have taken out a policy with ihi like others. The medical side seems extremely good, with unlimited amounts on most medical things - though the extra required for non medical things wasn't worth it, so will take out a seperate policy for that
  4. Why such a jump from a 170 to a 135? What are you loading the new canopy at? Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies
  5. This statement contradicts itself. How can you be independent if you only work with and champion one brand? Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies
  6. That's some pretty aggressive downsizing at just over 100 jumps. Spend the $ on jumps and worry about WS at a later date. The sky will always be there. Stay safe. Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies
  7. If you buy me a diet coke, i'll upload you a profile? Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies
  8. I'm not busting his balls - i'm genuinely curious as to the point of an unvalidated, non regulated list of people who may or may not be experienced enough to teach someone else. Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies
  9. So essentially anyone can add themselves without any validation as to their claimed skills? What benefit is that? Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies
  10. True, but you could do it with a funny accent. I want Jarno's accent, it is pretty sexy. To be fair, Jarno is pretty sexy. If i weren't related to him, and he had boobies, i'd for sure want to sex him. Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies
  11. It tucks in from the top. As Jarno mentioned though, that system was never great. A rigger should be able to make a simple velcro mod to make it stay put better. Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies
  12. What info are you looking for? How to lace the suit up? Have you had an FFC yet? That should be covered as part of the course. As should flying it. If you need any help, depending on where you are in the country, give me a shout and i'll talk you through it
  13. Well there you have it. It is a miracle the thousands of wingsuit students before the "great spotted instructor" got here were not Maimed or killed by their self declared instructors. He is going to get you all back for not letting him on the official world record! The truth is you are all unsafe, you worked hard to get him on the un- official world record the year before. Sketchy bitches. Cool story, bro! Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies
  14. What kind of container is that? Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies
  15. I mean, it's great and all, but how the hell do I fit a grid over it? Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies
  16. Agreed. I'm very lucky in that I get to jump any of the suits we make, but without doubt, i absolutely love my Phantom2. It's such a great all rounder that's really easy to fly and is a LOT of fun in the air
  17. Fixed! Nice suit, Ralph! *light golf clap* Excellent work Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies
  18. Awesome looking suit and great pics... However, you are missing one key ingredient... Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies
  19. Have you ever thought about filming you flying the crack? Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies
  20. There are a HUGE number of goggles available for skydiving, all of which are nowhere near that amount. What do you hate about goggles, and have you checked your local gear store for other options? I have a pair of flex fits i bought for $15 7 years ago, and although a little bent, still get jumped.

  21. Swoopers get laid?? Shit, I picked the wrong discipline Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies
  22. Justin is now posting on other threads on DZ.com - perhaps someone could point him here so he could explain everything a little clearer? Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies
  23. Who did they order through? Can you get them to shoot me a mail with all their info? [email protected] Thanks Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies
  24. Registering a new account just to publicly bitch? Surely it would have been easier to email Jarno directly? I wonder what you're other DZ.com account is? Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies
  25. Let's hope you're not currently jumping one Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies
