  1. Yeee haaa !! It WAS beautiful! Only made it to +18F down here in East Troy. Good enough to get in my first naked jump of the year. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  2. That is just plain crazy !! Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  3. One of the first rules of nekkid jumping is to make ABSOLUTELY sure your package can blow in the wind. Remember! You can always cutaway from a lineover. But you can't cutaway from a nut-under! Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  4. We NEED to be represented ! Yeeeeeee haaaaaa !! Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  5. Boogie bags with $200 K in each ?? Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  6. ALSo, it can happen on a non-wingsuit jump. If the pilot chute is not tossed into clean air but rather dropped into your burble, it will give the bag a chance to dance around. I noticed it when I started having too many openings that were off heading. I concentrated on giving the pilot chute a good throw and the problem went away.

  7. How about a way of closing the rig without the need for a pull up cord. I'm thinking something like this. The end of the closing loop that is currently fixed becomes longer and only becomes fixed after the rig is closed. To close the rig, you put the pin through the loop THEN tighten the flaps and when tight, the loose end of the closing loop is secured somehow. I realize that having to carry a pull up is not the end of the world but we are always looking for ways to make our life easier.

  8. I did the Vegas trip in April. If you have to go to a dropzone that is about fun jumping, Mesquite is the place to go. Skydive Las Vegas is out. They won't let you on the airplane unless you are a paying tandem. Vegas Extreme allowed fun jumpers but they were mainly about the tandems. They were a little pricey, too. Sin City is in the same building as Vegas Extreme. I didn't get a chance to check them out. I think they have a C206.

  9. On a semi-related note; What's the latest on Perris' DC9? I would think that would almost be a "must have" for the WFFC. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  10. My favorite skydiving "stunt". One of those TV stunt shows. Jumper (Jeb Corliss ?) has a third canopy soaked in kerosene. Direct bagged out of the aircraft. He is flying the soaked canopy, pulls out a flare gun. Shoots his own canopy. It looked like the Hindenberg! Then he cuts it away and lands on his main.

  11. 1. 2516 2. 4 3. a) 2 out. Student FXC misfired at 2,000' b) Twisty up c) Broken lines (Nekked) d) Intentional. Jumped a round. Cutaway to my normal main. (Reserve not used.) Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  12. There was an article in the paper today about that. It caused a run in the stores on the filling. Here is a shot from Pic n Save this evening. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  13. I got mine on Tuesday [cough]Page 26[/cough]. Probably their best issue ever [cough]Page 26[/cough]! Could be even one of the most important skydiving literary works [cough]Page 26[/cough] of all time !! Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  14. + 1 Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  15. Question: Do you still adjust it? Or once you figured it out are you content at the same setting. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  16. I also don't care to wear one. Don't need the short sleeves either. No problem with material getting in front of the handles. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  17. Reminds me of the glider at the last WFFC. The Sweitzer takes off with BOTH of the jumper's legs dangling out the side of the cockpit. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  18. It was more of a stumble than anything else. I did land on our dropzone close to where I had planned. We have a great landing area. I'll pass on the compliment to our greenskeeper. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  19. No video but here is a pic. We are calling it a "reverse PLF".
  20. Hiya- Today I made my 2500th jump. Just to do something special, I hooked up my canopy backwards and made the jump. Brian Martin (Indyz) flew right behind me and took a bunch of pics. (I did wear a jumpsuit on this one.) 2500 jumps over 15 years. Not bad for someone who once was hiding around the back side of the hanger to avoid getting the "bowling speech". Also, this evening, I was honored to become a Lifetime Member of Sky Knights SPC. Yeeeeeeee Haaaaaa !! Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  21. Not me, I can't swim. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  22. Yep. For the last 8 years or so. At least one nekkid jump every month. Gets a bit "refreshing" during the snowy months. http://www.SansSuit.com Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  23. I understood all of that, right up to the part where you said, "First of all ........" Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  24. That is unless you don't wear a jumpsuit at all. If you jump nekkid, you spread the cold over a lot of surface area and then it doesn't feel as bad. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  25. I jump all winter long, in Wisconsin. I haven't missed a calendar month in over 12 years. The whole key is that you aren't in the element for that long. You'll hear all about proper clothing, glove, etc. That is all important, but it is all about managing the cold for a short period of time. Also it is where your head is at. Mind over matter type of thing. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
