Honestly, I enjoyed most of the commercial, except the skydiving part. It's implying skydivers are so not used to drinking beer, they need two guys and a bottle opener ??? That's just wrong Should have opened it on a GoPro... No.1 reason NOT to be an astronaut: ...You can't drink beer at zero gravity...

This was exactly the reason why these two guys showed up at Skydive Elsinore. No.1 reason NOT to be an astronaut: ...You can't drink beer at zero gravity...

In that case, you should add Mountain Gravity to your list... No.1 reason NOT to be an astronaut: ...You can't drink beer at zero gravity...

I know it's been done before, I've seen it with my own eyes (way back in the days). But I still believe the gain of results is minimal at the angle in a VWT. Horizontal tunnel testing is better, but not cheap and harder to access. Besides, I don't think he'll find a vertical tunnel owner who let him test a semi-rigid wing unless he has good connections. Then again, I hope he will find a way and bring his design to success. No.1 reason NOT to be an astronaut: ...You can't drink beer at zero gravity...

Chopper? Ives does that all the time... (the Porter doors around here are too small anyway) No.1 reason NOT to be an astronaut: ...You can't drink beer at zero gravity...

totally agree to what zim said No.1 reason NOT to be an astronaut: ...You can't drink beer at zero gravity...

here's the link to the video, pretty hard to find in the thread... http://vimeo.com/26151600 And btw, it was the students second jump, although it's been a while since his first one. Plus, the student is actually a tunnel instructor/coach. Doesn't make the situation less dangerous, but might explain why he threw harder than the average student.

Still trying to convince my wife, but it looks hopeless... Might have to come alone again. Good to see you'll be there too. No.1 reason NOT to be an astronaut: ...You can't drink beer at zero gravity...

I heard about the existence of this ad for a while, but it only started airing on european TV a few days ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIBgx_shZDc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlpZRK2Yfd0&NR=1 Shit, I've wanted a tunnel surrounded by water for over 10 years, now they did it (at least in CGI). This is the second time, Coke uses wind tunnels in commercials. No.1 reason NOT to be an astronaut: ...You can't drink beer at zero gravity...

If you can't stay on the ground, but can't leave korea, paragliding might be an option. There are sites all over south korea. No.1 reason NOT to be an astronaut: ...You can't drink beer at zero gravity...

It's been a while since my last trip to korea, but back then, there was as much skydiving in korea as there are beer-fests in saudi arabia... No.1 reason NOT to be an astronaut: ...You can't drink beer at zero gravity...

Paraclub Beromünster Biggest plane, cheapest jump tickets (in Switzerland) and 7-days opened from mid May to mid September. And it's as close to Zürich as any other DZ around... But of course, all DZs in Switzerland are cool... No.1 reason NOT to be an astronaut: ...You can't drink beer at zero gravity...

Great article, Trunk. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. No.1 reason NOT to be an astronaut: ...You can't drink beer at zero gravity...

I bought spare batteries on ebay (from china/HK) for around 5$/pc., cable is also available on ebay if you really need one. I haven't found a way to set my preferences as default. What I do on altitude is: - Turn camera on - Press Mode button (goes to last used setting, sport mode) - (sometimes) switch flash off No.1 reason NOT to be an astronaut: ...You can't drink beer at zero gravity...

USB/AV cable or "Easyshare" cradle (USB/AV + charging). I've never used any of them... No.1 reason NOT to be an astronaut: ...You can't drink beer at zero gravity...

I always use it in sport mode (except on sunset loads). Usually turn the flash off, since I don't think that little thing helps much... Still looking for better settings on ground shots (like on a track-jump) on hazy days.. No.1 reason NOT to be an astronaut: ...You can't drink beer at zero gravity...

Very cool, although only one 7200rpm HDD might slow you down a bit. I'd add another HDD and an SSD, if there is enough space. No.1 reason NOT to be an astronaut: ...You can't drink beer at zero gravity...

Can you check, if the GPS functions are useable for wingsuiting? I know the built-in GPS module is up for it (swiss design ), but I'm not convinced about the firmware (yet)... No.1 reason NOT to be an astronaut: ...You can't drink beer at zero gravity...

Jeff, Last time I stayed at the Embassy Suites Dorado and it was nice. This time I'm bringing my wife and I intended to go back there, but a few workmates are joining us as well so we're renting a beachhouse in Cerro Gordo. @Mike I guess this is the "Official" thread. And yes, the large beach resorts are all 10+ miles away, but I recall seeing a few small motels closer to the DZ. Can't remember any names, though.

When there was WS stuff in the newspapers, many of my whuffo friends asked me if I've done that too To be able to say "yes", I did a FFC. Then I started to like it... No.1 reason NOT to be an astronaut: ...You can't drink beer at zero gravity...

Mianyang is the closest, only about 850 miles northwest. If it's still active, though... No.1 reason NOT to be an astronaut: ...You can't drink beer at zero gravity...
