Zodiac

Hi I'm looking at the Samsung SC-HMX20C, it looks about the perfect size, weight and quality. I don't know if it would withstand the normal abuse or a skydiver/base jumper, like hard openings, cold, humid, etc. Also, I wonder if I can put on a wide angle lense. I would appreciate the honest opinion of someone that would know about this.

Hey Vector, I was way too lazy to take video, I'll let dingo and Damien to gather the footage and send it your way. Thanks for putting it together. The Zodiac.

Mr. Phantom made it third if I'm not mistaking, letting a bunch of the V2s behind, well, with the help of a little flight over time. Javier, you'll enjoy your Phanton, it flies a bit different than the Classic, I hope it comes soon.

Wow, I'll have a little bit of everything. I'll emphasis to fly well on Saturday cause Sunday I'll fly like a Piano.

I just got mine; it feels a little tight on the crouch area though, I don't know why....

I bet you that the non-climber dude was the one who let it loose. You have to be quiet when you are in the park, anyone can be a ranger, even the squirrels. Too bad.

Nice love story

Quote and now most recently from a bridge in Colorado. A bridge in Colorado Ah!!, I knew that when he moved to Colorado he was going to burn something there sooner than later. I'm sorry for the people there, although is nice not having him around here in Norcal......I guess for a while.....oooh well.

Was that you Punk ass??

Yeah dude, I've been down for a long month after a shoulder surgery and I just can't take it. Sorry to hear your extreme case. Hang in there, it seems you'll make it.

Yes, there are becoming a socialist state, still with lots of resources, and great places for jumping, including infinity new sites, especially if you wingsuit. People are friendly and open to all foreigners no matter their origin, but naturally, like anyone else in the world they hate Bush and the US government. Well I don’t give a shit about bull crap politics. Anyhow, you might get a cool story from a group of locals that went there recently.

I see how you are Home Boy.

Good job to Jeb for his courage and for trying his best for everything go right. Now, sometimes shit happens. No real reasons for laying blames, bitching, moaning, and whining. Best wishes for the best outcome of our fellow jumper.

Good job guys, I'm glad it went smooth. Since I was not able to jump on Sunday I'll try to be there this weekend to continue the saga. APOOOPA rocks. My regards to the organizers and all participants.

Is there any particular reason you ask?. Are you from Colombia? Any sites you know?

Somebody has been out the girlfriend for too long. Ohhh. I'll be there to play. I hope.

The strait distance from exit to landing is roughly 8,320ft; full elevation is about 4,000 ft. You need to achieve a glide ratio of 2.08. When you are there it looks nearly impossible. I think you are required to really get a safe average of nearly 2.5 glide ratio, considering winds & miscalculations, and knowing you must make it to the river to avoid getting hurt. Landing on those trees on a wingsuit, is not a great option. I’m sure I can be done; you just got to fly like a champion.

I don't give a s...t guys. Is there a difference between some well-needed humor instead of well-allowed dork zone soap opera?. Down to oppression. Oh S...t, I forgot I can get banned for talking like this, oh no.

The entire BASE community need APOOPA back. Let him free, let him fly. Down with the oppressor. Viva la revolution.

I say no

Hi Walt, I actually enjoyed your story. I still think there is sensitive info in your story that can confirm and educate some of the "enforcers". As you said it, "that jump was years ago and things change", you are absolutely right on that. I know for a fact that currently the "enforcers" have allocated specific surveillance dedicated for jumpers on key hours. I have seen, on regular basis "enforcers" on foot hiding in the woods, waiting for the moment to strike (or to "enforce"). Things now are a lot tricky and there might be active jumpers still operating under such. No offense intended to anyone, just trying to be conservative in regards to broadcasting jumping logistics, that's all. And yes it is still sensitive info, period. Peace. Z.

In this post there is sensitive jumping logistic information that should not be broadcasted. We don't want to educate the wrong people on how and when we do stuff.

It is certainly a great story BUT, it could be counter productive to us to bring up such detail level of ground crewing and jumping logistics. Remember the evil ones read this forum constantly, and you might say they know the deal already, but why refresh the info or actually educate them against us. In my opinion, jumping logistics should be ban from this forum.
