  1. Well the cliff is 3000ft and the horizontal distance to the edge of the water is about a mile. Given the distance it takes to get flying you need about a 2:1 just to impact the shore. Now if your like me, you prefer to deploy and try again later. No big deal if you dont make it, just land in the water (I have plenty of experience and video) There are people flying well over the camp ground and deploying. I find that I would tend to look up towards the end of the flight to see if I would end up being dry or wet. This tends to hose your glide angle and flight.
  2. That was Ralph Greeny. He wasnt sinking, he told me before the jump that he wanted to take it close to the rock and hug the ground.
  3. Ok, so how do you do that clicky thingy? Do you put the url thing before and after the link? To think I jump off cliffs
  4. If your planing on Norway, here are a couple of jumps from summer '05. Exit 8 and 4.5 is a must if your into wingsuit BASE! [url] http://www.skydivingmovies.com/ver2/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=3903

    Track distance

    Its going to vary based upon the time and distance of freefall. You really get your track going on the last 5 sec. Its just like tracking over the road when you jump La Mouse in Switzerland.
  6. Yeah there is video somewhere....opened right next to a parking garage facing back at a building.
  7. I was packed slider up for a terminal tower but we elevator was shut down. We were not in the mood to climb so we said "lets go hit up the crane" it was a stealthy opening indead. Zennie did it first
  8. I did a slider up off a 420' crane with a 46" PC and opened at about 120' with a perfect 180. One hell of a snivel! YRMV
  9. I am in Mcalester, Ok on a seismic job and it looks like we will have work around this area for at least the next year. I was just currious if there were any jumpers in the area...
  10. You havent changed a bit Maybe this time I should put a wingsuit on. It seems as if you have a bit of trouble getting your forward speed up while I am in my track suit
  11. Wont be around, and I dont want to buy your book Ted...

    New rig..

    Wow, I wish it would get cold as shit here in Texas to where I cant do anything but design cool shit Looks good!
  13. I like the look of greeny in the video. It was this shrug and a "shit happens" look.
  14. Ahhh I see. The last time I tried something like that it was with Chemical Dan in China. I first ate his PC then he attempted to remove my shoe with the nose of his canopy. All in all it made great video. Good times. Frank and Beans!
  15. Looks like the guy in the middle is going to give the guy on the right a PC sandwich!
  16. Sounds like poor piloting skills to me. Lets be honest its not that hard to land a cessna 172 after an engine out, especially when you have 10,000ft of altitude to figure things out. Damn crazy Australians, they are always going BIG!
  17. Dec 2rd-Jan 2nd: 8 cliffs hikes 3 cranes climbs 8254 ft total
  18. I can imagine that 133 jumps in 24 hrs could easily bring on a serious case of Assburgers! Congrats on the big number, maybe we should pitch in and get some ointment... Doug
  19. Yeah, whats up with Stefan´s atire? Maybe he was trying to score points with the Maylaysian girls
  20. I saw the prototype being tested this summer in the swiss valley. Nice looking suit, it should be interesting to see the production model.
