  1. ok at least its possible. I was afraid there would be some set in stone rule against it.

    and I'm not doing it to save tunnel money or anything, I just think it would be neat for the whuffo to say they've docked with me in "(simulated )freefall";)

  2. If I'm a licensed skydiver with 600 jumps and about an hour of tunnel time, and I want to fly with a whuffo friend who has never been in a tunnel before... is this possible?

    I know the tunnel instructors hold onto whuffos tightly while they belly fly, I am wondering if they would let me into the tunnel to dock on the whuffo friend. The instructor would sitll be in there at all times.

    Is this something the individual instructors have say over, or is it strictly forbidden in the tunnel rules to have a whuffo in with non-instructors?

    Pretty sure Spaceland near Houston is doing a big party and may be doing night jumps if there is enough interest.... wish I could head that way. Its an awesome place with some awesome people!




    Do they actually have anything scheduled for that day? I went down there last year during colligietes and new years night was very quiet. i think everyone was in bed by 11 pm

  11. last raft dive I did, it flipped on exit and I ended up hanging upside down from my ankle, because the raft rope was wrapped around it.

    several very frenzied seconds followed while me and another jumper got the rope off my foot, but it also took my shoe with it. I haven't done one since then.

    raft dives ARE more dangerous than the standard skydive.

    doesn't mean they can't go well and be fun though.

    Shaun I am glad to see the newest generation of ksupc people are properly learning the ropes. keep teaching em right!



    Are you going to be there Halder? Maybe you can convince Haliburton or Texico or whoever you work for to sponsor your trip!



    halliburton dammit!

    don't think the boss would jump at that idea. maybe though i could "borrow" a company car to check on a gas well up in kansas.

    Hmm...Sounds like some people here are either racist or sexist. Isn't that the accusation if someone doesn't support Obama or Clinton?:P




    I'm just cynical.

    The Republicans can bypass the entire "vote for a woman" and "vote for a black person" arguement, if they get a black woman as VP.

    you know people will just post pro control because its your post. I don't think for a second that 67% of respondants think its a good idea, do you?



    i think its childish that people come into his posts and put in receipes. if you don't like the post, then don't read it. instead they act like 5 year olds.

    :S

    I wonder what tittle will be used to decribe The sport of turning points & FS in tunnels.



    as long as they stop calling it "indoor skydiving" :S:S

    talk about trying to make a nondangerous activity sound crazy and exciting. :|

    Bad for night jumps? :ph34r:



    I would have thought that myself too... But then I watched a bunch of friends jump off a legal BASE jumping bridge at night and discovered black is, actually, easy to see as a "dark void".

    A medium gray/silver on the top skin, and a navy blue or blackberry bottom skin, is actually very hard to see. Believe it or not, a completely black canopy is too black to disappear. White is the most visible. Red disappears too.


    in WW2 they discovered that all black planes were too visible at night... a dark gray or dark brown is actually the hardest to see at night.

    that being said, I have a dark blue and black canopy and its pretty damned hard to spot at night

    Please don't be too harsh on the parents. I can understand being angry and wanting to blame someone. I'm sure they know that winning any lawsuit won't bring their son back. Fire away on the lawyer though, because he's in it for the money, IMO.



    i bet the parents are in it for the money too... why else sue the airplane manufactors.... cause its got the deepest pockets! :S

    talk to your reletives, let them know your wishes on sueing so you don't get remembered THIS way.
