  1. Theme: Combine two sports There are 3 skydiving entries. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  2. I work for Lockheed (Martin) too! www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  3. Muchas gracias. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  4. I guessed that skymedic, but what I am asking is are the TONES that a Dytter makes the same sound/volume/duration as a Pro-Track. So that a Dytter/Track combination would sound just like a Track/Track combination, even though in both cases the dual altis would not go off in perfect sync. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  5. Recently got a Pro-Track and it works well. I want to get a second audible for the other side of my helmet, but there's no point in buying another Pro-Track since I already have one. I thought about buying a Dytter since it is cheaper, but I am wondering if the 3 levels of warning tones are the same between the Track and Dytter. I would want all the tones to be the same so as to create less confusion for myself, and I'd set all the warning altitudes the same between the two. Anyone else do this (Track/Dytter in same helmet)? www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  6. Hmm, I'd enjoy that... where do you find out about tracking contests? I'm pretty new to the sport, don't know much about any contests. Guess I should just keep my eye on the events forums. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  7. Who exactly is Ralph? www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  8. I'm confused... PEC is a dealer but they dealt with another dealer? www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  9. Just out of curiosity... what canopy designer did you use? www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  10. Hmm, just rememberd I also had to literally squat one ride to altitude. That sucked. Maybe that's why I'm sore too. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  11. That's weird... my neighbors (who skydive) just showed me this video like a week ago. Check out attached pic for my two cats... one of which I just got this weekend! www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  12. Beat you! Got mine in the mail today, A 43673. Congrats! www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  13. Hehehe, good one. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  14. Hopefully this hasn't been posted before... Yesterday I made my first tracking dive, then 3 more! Today my thighs are SUPER sore. I mean, I guess I did spend 4 minutes tracking, but I found it hard to believe at first that this is why I am sore. I DID also go wakeboarding the night before, but I've been doing that a lot lately and haven't yet felt this sore (or really very sore at all, in the legs at least) from wakeboarding. So maybe it's from the track? I guess it does take a lot of force to keep your legs straight against such strong relative wind... Is it possible this is from the track? www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  15. ...you sue Goodyear when your tires wear out. ...when you lose you sue the city for making paved roads. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  16. Taking suggestions for Lutzisms... in reference to 1. ...you deploy your "chute" and it DISAPPEARS!!! 2. ...you try to land but there are powerlines EVERYWHERE! www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  17. That's good to know... I'd like to see the confession. Where'd you get the name Sparky? www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  18. And you didn't whine loud enough and blame enough of your problems on non-self-entities. If you make t-shirts, they have to include my favorite Lutzism. "There were powerlines EVERYWHERE!" A Super-Lutz logo could look like Superman logo but with a guy suspended from power lines in the center. :) www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  19. Yeh, I've thought about that, and as much as this guy pisses me off I am a nice guy and probably couldn't tell him off the way I want to. Though I may at least email him and ask him nicely if he's even aware of the truth about his "incident". "There were powerlines EVERYWHERE!" www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  20. I thought the exact same thing. 1) He does not look up. 2) He says he looked up and saw it deployed ("round" which is "good") and THEN it "broke away". 3) He had a square reserve so I'll bet you my life savings his main was square. 4) It would not have even had a chance to deploy cleanly. Even if he had been able to look up, instead of being busy getting jerked around by his disconnecting 3-ring... he would NOT have seen anything clean or "good"... round or square! Heh. Still haven't figure that one out. Obviously is was either AAD or self-deploy. I'm not considering him smart enough to deply his own, but then again, his other handle and his ripcord were already both gone. Not much else even he could do to screw that one up. One handle left... pull! Maybe a super-Lutz could even screw that situation up though, like maybe disconnect the leg and chest straps and fall out of the harness, because he thought they were deployment handles. Hrm... I wonder if the emtpy rig would have a Cypress fire? It'd be shame to get a good rig beat up for a Lutz. I found a company called Magis Networks in San Diego that he worked for two years ago, but they don't have any forwarding info for him. I seriously want to talk to this guy, I'm not gonna yell at him (at first!) I'm just gonna tell him I'm from the Guinness book of world records, and I want to give him an award for luckiest guy alive (escaping death twice!) and need some clarification on what I saw on the show. I want to hear the lies straight from his mouth and give him a chance to fix them before I murder him. I'm so smart. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  21. Mine died at about 15. But maybe I was a bit cocky. They came back at jump 51 after my first [really] stupid mistakes and first reserve ride. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  22. Ahahaha. LUTZED! That's a cool new word to use, but we'll never get to use it since no other human could meet all the prerequisites. Honestly, I'll cut the guy some slack on all of his mistakes but one. Anyone can make mistakes on their first jump (though his were pretty bad). But misrepresenting the facts to TV and then filing the lawsuits is the part that pisses me off. Argh. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  23. OMG, I know this is not the most original contribution to the discussion, but my GOD that video pissed me off. First the announcer is saying "his instructors watched him go bye bye", then he is saying "my instructor chased after me". Does anyone know what TV network made that? I am going to make it my life mission to yell at the producer of the show and Scott Lutz (the student), world class dumbass. EDIT: GRBTV.com is the site of the company that owns the rights to the show I think... the guy is a lawyer in San Diego as someone else mentioned. Bleh. I just really hate seeing facts misrepresented on television, especially facts pertaining to something I'm so passionate about. Actions will be taken. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  24. Been there, done that... about 3 weeks ago with 60 jumps or so. I even knew about crossports, lol. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
