    Naaaah, now they publish mix tapes, which have nothing to do with mixing, and the guys have never even seen a tape in their life.... scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  3. Sadly it seems that there are several dead and wounded in a High School in Kentucky... scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  4. 12 kg is a LOT. If you find a real fast suit you should be able to spare your body some of the abuse. I would also consider taking some yoga/stretching lessons (if body flexibility is an issue) scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

  7. You also have Skydive 2 Oceans outside of Paarl, in the wine area
  8. as said above, and I learnt the lesson from Eli Thomson back in the days : Dress for Success. If you want to fly FS, get the most adapted suit you can get. Baggy is not good anyways. In any discipline . (As far as I know...) . Baggy = Flappy scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  9. In Switzerland you need a minimum of 100 jumps in the previous year, out of which 20 minimum must be tandems IIRC. So if you have 100 tandems you don’t need solo jumps. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

  12. I am not talking about reliability (or communication/marketing regarding reliability). There are "complains" above regarding the silence of Airtec. I would rather have a rather silent manufacturer, instead of having another one announcing completely false results. For example, the manufacturer telling you that units have fired because they have exceeded speed at firing altitude. In that case, 3 rigs with devices turned ON (which was the first mistake, as stated in the manual, you should turn them OFF prior to get in a vehicle). 2 out of 3 (WHY NOT ALL ???) fired while driving on the motorway, on a downhill, in a minivan. I believe that it was not due to "failure of cutting", but in order to reduce the hesitation due to potential poor rigging. The cut failure has only been seen on circular blades. over 15 years ago, not all manufacturers have learnt from this unfortunately (remember the Vigil misfires due to static charge while packing ?? ) You like CYPRES bashing don't you ? I believe we count more recalls on Vigil than on Cypres, with more or less 11 years less on the market. I personally prefer there fire/no fire settings. Vigil is too "fire happy" in my view (it is personal) I prefer the color of the Vigil, and the appearance of their cables though. I would personally go first for CYPRES (even though I like less and less the evolution of the product), then M2, and last Vigil. Then again, this is my personal opinion. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  13. That would definately be one that springs to mind and one which was investigated by a UK coroner who also questioned the business ethics of Airtec for not disclosing the problem as soon as it became known. i rather have a black box than utter bullshit I know nothing of this incident. But I do know that Airtec releases absolutley no information that they do not have to. Not ever. They are a complete black box and they have a level of arrogance that is astounding. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  14. If I understand correctly, CYPRES would be 15,5 years provided it is maintained every 5 years scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  15. Can we all just take a moment and look at what your people think is "real news"? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmqxM0D-i-wis this for real or is it a parody? scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
