So is there going to be otter there or what? I have 2 robinson R22 helicopters that I can bring an do 2-way formation loads (heli has 2 seats...pilot and passenger) any takers? Doug

you know I cant miss an opportunity to fly with my feet on my butt...

Yeah I know, but I fly helicopters with the guy who is doing the San Marcus deal...thats while I will be there.

I will be there....should be coming in the heli. You may now start the celebration.

Damn, sorry I missed it. I was really looking forward to putting on track pants and doing some wingsuit bigways... Doug

Not my camera, mine was on a cliff somewhere in Norway at about that time.

Nice one Birt! Wow, that was cool watching the ancient video of us skydiving, good times. Amanda need I say more . Jen, way to eat that wingsuit.....looked like you were gonna toss his salad Doug

Anyone have a place for two fellow jumpers to stay April 20-21 for the Sun N Fun event. We are traveling from Houston, TX and are looking for anywhere to crash close to the action in Lakeland. Also, anyone heading from the Tampa area Friday the 20th to the Sun N Fun event? Doug

Yeah, Im just about 4,650+ shy myself

Well Robert, the truth is that you need FIVE THOUSAND SKYDIVES!

Hey Lee, My name is Doug and my girl friend and I are interested in making a Baffin trip. We are currently in Houston right now but have been living in Norway (Elin is the instructor at Kjerag) We do a lot of 3-6000ft vertical climbing when we jump the mountains of central norway. I have to be honest, I have never done an artic expidition but we manage Norway in the winter and lots of climbing in the summer (no pussy's here) Most of our experience is big wall base (around 350-450 jumps for each of us) Let me know what your looking for. We will be going back to Norway for the summer to work at Kjerag again (june-august) if that helps. Other than that, we are free until that time. Doug

French you say.....Hmmmmm

Russians

I put a POV video of Bispen and Kalsgratind up on SDM under "wsnorway" yesterday, the video isnt that great but you can see the road and other features...

Still in Norway jumping 5000+ ft cliffs, I will head home in late November. Maybe I can bring myself to fly with you guys, I guess I will have to bust out the pants and jacket so I can get down to you guys...

Kris, give it a break buddy.....Your vents are in the same position as mine, I dont seem to have any problems. Of course the vents will lay flat when your not jumping. There were three V2's jumping with me today from a cliff and the vents all layed flat, even Mr. Phoenix Fly's himself. Once you exit they inflate right away. You do understand areodynamics, correct? Low pressure\high pressure, lift, etc., right? The low pressure on the top of the wing allows the inlets to open (bernoulies principle or somehting like that) I find that these vents maintain pressure better than others as well. They are harder to depressurize when collapsing the wings to dive down. All I am saying is that maybe its hard to get those vents to open while behind a computer. Take care man, had a good time in Kjerag! Doug

dont wear an alti, problem solved I should go into counseling...

The BASE forum god has spoken! (Thunder and lightning in the background) PS. this is not a personal attack

Yeah, actually I do still have it. I will try to put it on the computer and shoot it your way.

It just sounds funny...

This is all really stupid. Just grow some nuts and jump off a cliff and see how far you can fly. The furthest wins!

Well Kris, we were actually making fun of you. I think it would be rude for me to let you in on the little joke.

HAHAHA yeah, I remember that.
