    rotos in no wind?



    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.

    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."?!!!! :S

    But a correct assessment of the flight can be made without personal perspective being a problem.



    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

  7. 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!!

  10. 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)))

  13. 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

  14. 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

  20. 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)))

    but water is instead flowing from his face to feet jsut like its flowing along surfers board



    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?

    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?



    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.

    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" )))

    Put a ball on the table. Blow on it from behind. It will roll forward, despite the fact that the static air mass in front of it is causing drag that is slowing it down. This is neither magic nor confusing.



    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

    Some funny comments on the video from people who don't understand freediving or simple physics. :D



    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)))
