  1. David, are you looking for anyone to split the cost of the hotel? The edge ... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who know where it is are those that have gone over - Hunter S. Thompson
  2. Get the address to Spinnaker and look for hotels with a close number. Or go to yahoo or expedia an use their map directions to input 2 addresses and you can find out the distance between the 2.

  4. I have a G4 MOS which is made for smaller people. My Odyssey before hand hung over butt and put alot of the weight over my shoulders making it uncomfortable. My G4 (basically a G3 with some neat little features) hangs above my butt and distributes the weight pretty evenly over my torso. Go with the G3 you wont regret it.

  6. For those that havent seen the article in Skydiving Magazine, April 28 to May 4 there will be a swoop competition in Panama City and also fun jumpers who possess a D license will be able to make jumps the whole week from turbine aircraft and helicopters. Are there anyone or group going that would be willing to split the cost of a hotel room?

  7. It wasnt a harness grip, it was a hand dock. The edge ... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who know where it is are those that have gone over - Hunter S. Thompson
  8. I know of someone personally who was on a 2 way headdown dive (both fliers are awesome freeflyers who both have AD), during a transition to another dock, my friend accidently pulled the D-ring of the other flyer and deployed his reserve. He land fine and unconscious. The Reserve a PD, sustained no damage. Lesson learned: get a soft reserve handle for freeflying.

  11. It is absolutely the best rig I have ever tried on. I had an Oddysey before for my G4, and it is by far superior in comfort, bar none. It may be more expensive than the others, but for the comfort and security it provides it is definately well worth it.

  12. Skydive Miami regularly advertises through two local radio stations, but they dont advertise Skydive Miami, they advertise it as "Call 1-800-SKYDIVE" because the co-owner of DZM is also the owner of 1800skydive.

    What is the general concensus on what is the lowest height a base jump can be accomplished? 200ft, 300ft? The edge ... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who know where it is are those that have gone over - Hunter S. Thompson
  17. Yeah it is all over the news here. The crash site is located in a heavily populated area of Doral. It is about one mile from where I am at work right now.

  20. I live in the Miami-Ft Lauderdale area and am curious to know if there are any BASE jumpers down here. I know we dont have bridges or cliffs, but saw some pretty high antennas up by the Broward countyline.

  21. I would have to disagree with that statement. Keith Snyder, US skysurfing champion, jumps a crossfire. The edge ... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who know where it is are those that have gone over - Hunter S. Thompson

  24. Made my first three wingsuit jumps this weekend in Deland. I got coached by Chris Ash and jumped out and I was having so much fun that I didnt look at the spot as we were flying through the air. Chris had to fly in front of me to signal me to turn. The suit was easier to fly than what i had originally thought and it is amazing how much distance you can cover in a wingsuit. The opening wasnt as scary as I first thought, but I did find it a nuisance in taking off the wings under canopy. I made one solo jump afterwards and one two-way with Jose. I am gonna have to start saving up money so I can buy my own suit soon.

  25. I have to agree with SkyPsycho. There were too many hot dogs and not enough doughnuts. The edge ... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who know where it is are those that have gone over - Hunter S. Thompson
