  1. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  2. Skydiving is not safe. People die. Naked skydiving is safe. No one has ever died on a naked skydive. This makes naked jumping infinitely safer than textiled jumping. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  3. You are correct. It is fake. The whole stunt was filmed in reverse. In actuality, he did a back flip off the car onto the bike. Anybody can do that. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  4. I've been approached by a dude who seriously wants to do a naked tandem. He's in the Los Angeles area. Before I start contacting each dropzone individually, could someone hook me up with a place where he could fulfill his dream? Thanks! Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  5. I do believe that English law REQUIRES that you do the 100th jump naked. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  6. Not necessarily. ;-) Naked jump #501, Vegas Extreme SFW Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  7. It isn't a bungee jump. They call it a freefall, but the short version is that they attach you to the end of a long rope and lower you quickly to the ground. Is it worth it? Depends on what you are looking for. Personally, I thought that it was pretty cool to do something really different. The down side is that just about anyone can do it. https://vimeo.com/63574503 Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  8. Damn. I'm sooooo close. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  9. My 20th sky birthday was yesterday. My first jump was on a Saturday. For yesterday's jump, I rounded up 11 of my friends and we all jumped naked together. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  10. I've been jumping one for about 17 years. Very robust. I love the back-of-the-hand mount. Mine is 13K'. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  11. No, just before breakoff closest guy has to grab the ball and stuff it in his jumpsuit for landing. Of course that increase in wing loading could cause the crater you speak of. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  12. NOT this Bill Dana. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  13. You might try the Precision Pack, also known as the Psycho Pack. http://www.precision.aero/omega_pack.htm Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  14. As long as you opened the door... Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  15. I'd be interested in how many loads it actually dropped. I was the first person to jump it naked, WFFC 2006. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  16. I had him do a Cruiselite when I first started jumping. It helped A LOT. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  17. And that includes fractional sizes. They recently made for me an Omni 178.5. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  18. The spot is only important if you care where you land. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  19. OK, obviously I deserve all of the ridicule so far inflicted. I'm having problems with a basic concept and I'm trying to wrap my head around it. Let me try this from a different direction (pun intended). Are there any side-to-side differences in canopy that is flying straight and level but pointed 90° from the air mass around it? If a canopy is being pushed through the sky from one side, are the internal pressures (or whatever measurements used) still the same left-to right? Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  20. How much does the wind direction affect the opening of a canopy? I would think that opening while facing straight into the wind would give the best (on heading) opening. How about 45 or 90 degrees off the wind line? Could that cause twists in a canopy that is susceptible to squirrelly openings? Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  21. Birthday jump = birthday suit ! Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  22. www.makestickers.com is the official sticker company of the Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving. Great one day service. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  23. As long as we are on the subject ... Is there any issue with using different types of lines for the lowers? Say a rigger didn't have the Vectran. Could he use Dacron instead? (Not that he would, just hypothetical,) Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  24. OK, does any one have handy whatever form I need for downsizing the canopy used for my PRO rating? I'd appreciate it. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  25. That's not crazy. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
