  1. Im excited. i really want to know this now. I spent 3 months in the hospital, and have a total of 17 screws in two different extremities. -SPACE-
  2. oh. and the static lined ramairreserve would be slider off, so super soft crazy fast openings. i have Static lined 40 meter base jumps. -SPACE-
  3. Agreed on almost all accounts. but- deploying a 18' round under a wing means that you have NO way to stear anymore, and if your over feilds where it doesnt matter, then thats fine. BUT if your paraglider starts spinning up, around the reserve, and that has happened, there is nothing you can do about it. so, a cutaway to SL would be great. Im not making this harness to sell, just one for me. so we dont need to train paraglider pilots at all. a paragliding harness CAN take shock loads, the harness needs to be set up NOT like a parasailing harness, but a combination of that and BASE. A large reserve on your back and but would give even more padding to it, making landings safer, there would be risers for the square canopy seperate of the Paragliding wing hook ins. once cutaway, one would be hanging from the same harness but a diferent hanging point (s) once thinking about this, i think that haveing 2 reserve options is not a bad idea. a BRS round and the cutaway. My accident was at most 15 meters off the ground. BRS or not, my reserve would not have done anything. I was in the air for 15ish seconds after launch. Im also designing and building a modifies Paraglider wing. it is combining a kiteboarding kite and a paraglider. bladders and all.
  4. wasnt slammin it homeslice, just saying that it could have been made even better. adding the balloon around the rig AND the connected arm/leg was not a great idea methinks. but you right, i have never flown it. if anything, i was slamming PF not sugar. of course, they did it, i didnt. so im just talk. -SPACE-
  5. yeah. ropehuck will be up again as well. -SPACE-
  6. So, this suit has some really good ideas but a really retarded way to deliver them. This suit is trying to combine the arm wing and the leg wing. this is a bad idea. eficiency of gliders is indirectly a function of their aspect ratio. this suit gives the whole body an aspect ration of about 1:.7 this is not good. this gives the leg wing a grossly less effective airflow. good ideas of this suit connecting the arm wing to the rig(sitting the rig in a balloon of the wingsuit) , making it a "upper body wing" bad ideas for this suit: connecting the armwing to the leg. not ending the upper body wing at the bottom of the rig i need a sewwing machine. -SPACE-
  7. I second. especialy when you can really piss off people who really care about things that dont matter at all. in fact, that might be more fun than jumping. spite is the best motivator in the world. jumpers need to let go of what truly doesnt matter. or exploit the feelings of the people who care about what truly doesnt matter way to much. -SPACE-
  8. I have a lot of scar tissue as well. and im only 22. i bet i have more than him. I bet im more creative than him as well. and i dont trust riggers to do my rigging. -SPACE-
  9. yeah dude. we are BASE jumpers. we are supposed to be bitching online all day. -SPACE-
  10. dude. get you A and stick with it. youll stay alive. A liscenses are the smallest peice of the fatality pie. -SPACE-
  11. by suck i mean they dont know what it will be like or exactly how to correct for things. -SPACE-
  12. as for your signature, i kinda disagree. everyone sucks at their first jump. if you still suck at 50, then youll probably die. -SPACE-
  13. my bad. im not to savvy on it, just one handle, never rigged it. and i thought it didnt have a PC on the reserve. I would prefer both options though. I disagree that the skyhook is compilicated. its a hook. it works one way and not the other. -SPACE-
  14. right, but the sorcerer system ONLY allows reserve deployment when the main is cut away. I know, i have used it. What if i have a collapse on my wing at 40meters? I need to be able to throw out the reserve with the wing still out. I will combine the throwout old style and the static Dbag method. -SPACE-
  15. well, if your good and smart and fast and savvy, get the freefly thing. if your a retard just skydiving for social purposes (and trust me, they walk among us) and you can remember what way to "eat the carrot" then get the student rig with the main throwout option on the right or left side in case you forget.
  16. thats exactly why i think the modern pareglider harnesses are stupid. and the idea behind this is to have a throwout reserve AND the full wing cutaway static line deployment methods. the reserves we paraglider pilots are using are 18'rounds. totaly worthless. I want to incorporate a 240' BASE canopy into a paragliding harness that can be deployed independantly OR in the Static line cutaway technique. your correct, modern paragliders are locked unto their harnesses. I also think that paragliders and Hang gliders should immedietly releasable. but thats just me. -SPACE-
  17. well, ill just make one then. just my harness. i dont think paraglider pilots will want to buy a harness that i make. -SPACE-
  18. new idea. ill make one. well, ill make a lot of them. any riggers have a picture of this peice? preferably a few three views for building them. and it is aluminum correct? thats all i got. -SPACE-
  19. where can i get the Hook thingy aluminum peice from the relative workshop static line RSL thing. ?? the part that hooks the dbag to the main and/or releases it so the reserve pc can deploy the reserve Im building a new paragliding harness and reserve deployment method. To me, the way these paraglider riggers rig reserves is bullshit. this design if it works could have seved me from 3 months in the hospital. -SPACE-
  20. hell yeah! my copy is wearing out! -SPACE-
  21. this is the ultimate low of dorkzone.com -SPACE-
  22. you guys kick ass i told my GF skydivers knew everything. now i have about 14 different correct answers! -SPACE-
