    Wow.
    That's a HUGE stretch.



    I don't think so, but.... that's just my opinion.

    There are many fatalities caused by (often sober) speeding drivers. Speed was apparently a factor in this case, in addition to alcohol.



    I would say tell that the people on the german highway ;)
    One the 3th Lane at the german highway you found people that drive 143 Miles per hour....some are faster(legal).

    Reserves are not z-p fabric. It is folly to think you can load them like a z-p main and get the same results.




    ZP fabric does not make a canopy design fly and better than the same design made of and F-111 type of material. It just allows the canopy to maintain the flight characteristics longer. Plus it gives the jumper the opportunity to pack ZP.:P

    + we will not forgot, the upper side from same rarely reserves are ZPO!
    Ever liked from the rigger folks...

  3. Testing my new Blade(1 jump with the suit) WS around -30°C With the Exit i stuck my right wing cut away on the plane....after spinning 30s like hell i could pull my chute, but with short shirt and without gloves in 11000ft, hardcore linetwist until my neck, the jump was no fun.

    I heard "jeb lives in the millionaires neighborhood of malibu..."
    I was like DAMN, IS HE MAKING THAT MUCH FROM THESE SHOWS?!

    but then the rest of the sentence said"...with his mother and step father."
    and I felt like he's just another skydiver.:D

    Though, I would still assume he's making a shitload of money on these shows. But its kinda of sad to hear that what most people consider to be a famous skydiver/base jumper still lives with his parents. Then again, maybe it's just for the show. Anyone know?


    ETA:
    Watched the rest of the series.
    So now I know.

    As "far out and reckless" as he seems to whuffos I enjoyed the series. Its a shame that they'll think of all of us as suicidal death defiers, but, well who cares what they really think. I like my life!



    I dont understand where and with whom he lives, does make a problem for you?

    I think this one is a no brainer!



    Used to be a no brainer, not anymore.

    snce they got rid of the recording light and the lanc, you cannow spend more money on swtches than on the camera itself.



    Why is that a no brainer? The only disputable thing i see is mass production vs. bulk production and both have pro and cons....
