  1. its much more interesting and challenging to track in the opposite direction to the relative wind :)
  2. I certainly made the observation it was a "no wind day" when I watched the U-Tube video. I'm not blind. By looking t your profile, I just wanted to make sure YOU were aware they even existed. Like I said "Keep it up" Swoop trains for all I care, look cool, that's the main thing. I think you should swoop a Plane!! On a no wind day though. Whole point being, don't push your luck. "It's all about living" (Credit:) D.V. (Jump Master) u said "All that proves is you guys aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer." citing rotors (which were not there) what makes u think they'll be doing this when there are rotors? myabe they're more heads up jumpers than u, and with more experience? how can u just jump to conclusion "you guys aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer."?!!!!
  3. i tried iphone and it always lagged like crazy.. it showed altitude of where i was minutes ago >>>useless
  4. >>>Any interest in a Wing Suit Specific AAD?? no in 15 years of wingsuiting existing as a discipline, there hasn't been any (at least, widely known) case where a "ws-specific aad" would have made a difference swooping is where an intelligent aad would be a superhit
  5. sure.. but google earth is 8yo and gps is older than that yet no one needed to do "a correct assessment of the flight without personal perspective if ur talking bout disputes like "u cut me off!!! - no UUU cut me off!!!" then a camera is much more useful tool for that other than that, making love to gps tracks in google earth is soooo 2005-sh :D
  6. so how many ws manuf. do we have now? (add if i missed smth) tonysuits phoenix fly fly your body squirrel birdman intrudair aliensuits nitro rigging thats 8!!! and whats the total market? 1000 suits/year? 2000? 10000? thats crazy! with every new manufacturer the old ones get ever smaller piece of pie.. as a result prices go up.. soon enough we'll see $3K price tags - NOT GOOD FOR CONSUMERS!!
  7. thanks that explains it ....no wait wtf is a cinque wing??????
  8. wtf is quattro wing???
  9. dont be so naive aqualung is suunto reseller its an attempt in viral advertisement 1.create smth unusual internetz will buzz about 2.stick product&logo somewhere in video 3.PROFIT dont be a stupid hamster spinning a little wheel in a giant machine)))
  10. does paralog show raw or iterpolated procrssed smoothed whatever data?
  11. u can also deploy your reserve into biplane config to get 0.2 wl at this wl u can prob do standup landing even in downplane just ask ppl at lz not to breath or fart as it may collapse your chutes
  12. ok guys your use cases convinced me to buy flysight from wickedwings one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Receiver-Location-Finder-Display-Keychain/dp/B0050FXF52/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1362280900&sr=1-1&keywords=keychain+gps slap it on your wrist on altimeter strap..its so small chop? press a button record a waypoint BOOM! (oh dont forget to deploy reserve 1st lol) bad spot? press a button tell pilots coords lost in the clouds look at the scrren! it iwll show direction and distance to dz *all without computer!!!* 30bucks wiht shippign face it 250 hard cash is way too expensive these days for a gps (even if it has audio) for this money u can buy recon hud -way more advanced tech than just a gps with audio plug for gods sake u can watch porn on hud on the way up lol but for "justincase" things u mentioned a $30 tiny thing would suffice or even be better (screen and all other extra funtionality, also useful while hiking biking running etc) $250 is WAY TO HIGH PRICE
  13. but u said "More than a few times I thought it was a bit of a waste of effort just taking it on a flock...well NO MORE!" and "Thank You Flysight! All skydivers should wear one!" ALL SKYDIVERS? just to gind chopped canopy? (if - big if) any gps would do all gps now do hot start in 30 s or so enough even for wingless skydive r u flysight dealer by any chance)))))))))) update: ding ding! http://flysight.ca/dealers.htm wicked wingsuits flysight dealer ok now.... ALL SKYDIVERS BUY FLYSIGHT FROM WICKED WSUITS!!! lol
  14. did it really need to be a $250 flysight? would any of the $20-40 keychain gps thingy's do?
  15. yep with innocent ppl around yep yep i wonder if he makes an error and his foot hhits babys head at 80mph will it be a bit like that iphone game fruit ninja? yep yep
  16. r those round sticks in aech wing from shovels? i want to copy your amazing technology and mass-produce jet backpack with wings i just need to find cheap components found this on alibaba - shovel sticks $0.20 each http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/450161413/wooden_shovel_stick.html or sticks have to be the product of german engineering?
  17. more like balloonauti ))) since he's simply floating in the water its just water moves.. like balloon moving with the wind to call this "closer to angle flying" is ridiculous
  18. i figured it out obviously its SUUNTO viral advertisement look at prominent display at 00:23 its like that BMW "The Ramp" thing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjvV_MP_jCg "human flight experience" yeah right lol)))))))))))))))))))) this wingsuit poser should wear fake front teeth like germans in "The Ramp" then itll be ffreagin' funny rotflmao!!!
  19. ok look at this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nS_aR8XX_U because the wave is so big and the speed is so high its easy to see whats goin on its clear that the water under the surboard is going straight up at a slow speed of maybe 1-2mph but waves slope is moving forward at 40mph so water under surfboard is moving at about 40mph TIMES the slope factor (so its MORE than 40mph!!!) but only RELATIVE to it not absolutely his boards fin is moving under water at 40mph*slopefactor if there was subsurfer holding the boards fin he'll be moving at the same speed and experience great deal of drag but he has no apparent weight htat can drive him down the slope so i think u cant do subsurfing on a gib wave in deep waters only in shallow waters in rip currents its more like floating under surface of whitewater river and pretending u'r tracking lol))))) as for wingsuit guy i think its more like artistic experssion to get sponsors)))
  20. This is why I suggested playing in the ocean. You will quickly realize your assumptions here are wrong. Water below the surface is doing things very different than the water ON the surface. This is part of what makes waves so cool. really? how thick is this layer of "surface water" so u'r saying that this surface water is moving at great speed but "below surface water" is not?
  21. It's not just a moment. I grew up near the ocean and bodysurfing was something everybody did. Just like regular surfing, the quality of the wave make a huge difference. In most waves, you can't get a very long ride without adding a bit of push with your arms or legs. But with a more hydrodynamic shape, and a perfect wave with a perfect break, you could go forever. It is certainly much longer than a moment, even 5-10 seconds in crappy waves is easy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DXiLzkyZWQ The experience feels much more like being pulled than it does like being pushed. i think i got it he surfs only in very shallow waters where the whole mass of water is moving at great speed horizontally but where its deep he wont be able to do that b/c water moves just up and down slowly basically he's just floating under water in fast river/rip current he's NOT "tracking" )))
  22. air is pushing the ball because its flowing past it ball is moving in the direction of drag not against it to push neutral object water must be moving past it so to push him forawrd water must be flowing from his feet to face but water is instead flowing from his face to feet jsut like its flowing along surfers board water cannot flow both from feet to face and face to feet
  23. i think this comment is reasonable "This is retarded. You can do the same damn thing with fins on your feet." in air u cannot move at arbitrary angle in water u can in air u need wingsuit to glide better than wihtout it in water u can move in any direction down up forward back this is retarded indeed)))
  24. ps. maybe this "subsurfer" its just a moment caught on camera? he's just diving, photog takes pic, wave passes and thats all? hwere did you ifnd this pic? is there video?
