  1. I saw the same show you did. The Pro skateboarder/Skydiver is Bob Burnquist. He is a local at Perris. I heard the guy has been jumping since March and already has 2 brand new rigs and over 400 jumps. Must be nice! Shop Smart......Shop S Mart
  2. I can remember when that guy jumped into the boxing ring with I think it was Holyfield and Bowe. What ever happened to that guy? Does anybody know that guy? I was just curious if the guy still jumps. Shop Smart......Shop S Mart
  3. I think that picture is waaaay to big!! Shop Smart......Shop S Mart
  4. Man, it looks like you really like human flight. This is what you need..Hell, everyone needs one of these!! Shop Smart......Shop S Mart
  5. i say go with the ultralight. I would say it has a better glide ratio than a powered parachute.. but thats just a hunch. Shop Smart......Shop S Mart
  6. AHAHAHAHAHAHAH fucking comedy!! Shop Smart......Shop S Mart
  7. What is your friends story? Did he have his logbook up to date with all the signatures and dates? If not they have to some backtracking to see if your logbook is legit. This protects them legally so that they dont get screwed if you are lying. I used to work Manifest at Perris and i was the one that would send all the Perris newbies to the school to get their waivers all filled out and legalized. They came back to me within 30 mins. As long as you have all your shit squared away you are good to go, and you definitely dont have to jump through hoops. Shop Smart......Shop S Mart

  9. if you want to get the "real deal" check out this site. www.kombat40.com These are the best planes to learn with..Crash proof, cheap and lots o' fun!! Shop Smart......Shop S Mart
  10. For those of you in Southern California, Channel 7 ABC news did a pretty good segment on the new wind tunnel in Perris. If you turn on the news I am sure you will see it towards the end of the news hour. That tunnel looks very addicting!! I cant wait to use it! Shop Smart......Shop S Mart
  11. Good Stuff is probably one of the best videos out there. Get the DVD, cuz there is more footage on it than the VHS. Shop Smart......Shop S Mart
  12. I did try that..its outdated...just seeing if anybody has been out there recently(within a couple of days) to see how much is done. Shop Smart......Shop S Mart
  13. Any updated progress on the Skyventure Wind Tunnel at Perris? Is it open yet? Shop Smart......Shop S Mart
  14. there are numerous things that you can do with a little inginuity. I have dropped little parachute guys by putting them in a cup on top of the wing and then roling the plane inverted..drops out rather easy..Hint is to make sure that you make him heavy enough..I first used a GI Joe and he ended up being way too light for the parachute and actually didnt fall to the ground but drifted up into oblivion.. I later launched a model rocket from the wing. all you need is an extra channel that allows a servo to push the launch button..but beware..I put the rocket on the left wing and the launcher on the right wing. When it launched, the plane yawed to the right about 90 degrees due to the thrust of the rocket..It was worth it though. I know you can make bomb bay doors..what kind of plane do you have?

  15. I recently read a French Skydiving magazine and it had a huge pics and article about a guy with a wingsuit who flys alongside a ski slope with two skiers lookin on. He got about 20 to 30 feet above the slope.. They had a website that you could view that showed the video of this guy.... I was wondering if anybody knows what website it was on...I am sure someone out there knows about this! Shop Smart......Shop S Mart
