  1. I would prefer that you go get your computer and put together another video ... I've always enjoyed them and it's been to long! Yeah, I know. I started grad school this year in addition to having a full time job... not much time for jumpy videos. I hope to make the drive down to Elsinore next month for the acro thing, but I can't even commit to that for sure. I understand how that goes ... the combination of work, class, and being recently married has taken a toll on my free time. Looking forward to more videos in the future when you find the time!
  2. Good, great, grand. However, I was asking how come none of the people who are opposed to the death penalty aren't publicly rejecting a "death panel". PS: Yes, "death panel" may be a poor choice, we've discussed this, I appreciate that you can move on to the content of the thread. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

  4. Are you suggesting that the Tea Party is filled with individuals who hate Bush, love Obama, and are opposed to the death penalty? I think you misread the previous post ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  5. It's the new "in" thing to hate. I didn't hear a peep about the Koch brothers before the media drew attention to them. How often do you hear about things before someone or something draws attention to them? If they're doing something illegal, they should be held accountable. If they're not, then people should be held liable for their libel. As far as "rich-haters", if everyone stops buying their products then they won't be rich ... DUDE... if you were paying attention... the Brothers have been the sleaziest of corporate abuses of law and ethics for at the very least.. 20 years. Do try to keep up. Read the article. I did read the article and stated that if you (or anyone else) can prove they're doing something illegal than they should be held accountable. Try to get past the name of the poster and read the content of the post ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  6. Look for the positives in this..... at least you are close to a LARGE supply of CHEESE to go with all of that. Yet another individual against the death penalty who prefers to avoid the content of the thread. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  7. backfly before upsizing? Edit: For those of you who couldn't, can you backfly now? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  8. Not a single pilot has experience with an airplane that varies in size/shape/form/weight so much as wingsuits. But great effort at more street-cred with unrelated subjects and skills, when the real flying experience (lots of docked formation stuff in wingsuit) mentioned is not available But, but, but in theory blah blah blah ... I'll stick with reality. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

  10. You appear to be obsessed with Koch. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  11. Just because a wingsuit isn't flapping doesn't mean the airflow is smooth. Those of us flying in close proximity to other wingsuits know this ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  12. I wonder where the rest of the Bush hating and Obama loving individuals who are opposed to the death penalty are ... looks like the hypocrites hide and the children troll. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  13. Still stalling ... move past the title and into the content of the thread. See post #2. Not my fault if you can't even be consistent with your own thread title. You haven't made a single comment about the content of the thread. Congratulations! How about you demonstrate the ability to read, comprehend, and write an opinion based on the content of thread instead of constantly commenting on the title. YOU wrote the title. BTW there are now more posts in this thread about my topic than your OP topic Maybe because your topic didn't fit your title Since it appears you are incapable of holding an adult conversation I'll refrain from replying to you from this point forward. PS: If this isn't considered trolling then I don't know what is ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  14. In RW do you choose a looser suit (that helps you fall slower) and then add weight (that helps you fall faster)? No, because it's counterproductive. As stated, I can agree that adding weight has it's place as long as it's place is after choosing an appropriate suit. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  15. I think you are both off base there in terms of the aerodynamics - flapping causes bad aerodynamic shedding (i.e., bad air). certainly more weight means you are moving 'more' air (balance of mass, balance of force....) but moving air doesn't = 'disturbance' Feel free to take your argument up with Kallend.

  18. How does this relate to this thread? Are you able to read the title of the thread? Need some help with it? Are you able to read the content of the thread? I don't expect you to stay on topic in this thread ... although it would be interesting for you to state your opinion on this topic given your stance on the death penalty. Whoosh! Here, this might help you. You appear to be stalling ... so what is your opinion on the content of this thread. About the same as my opinion of the person who started it. Still stalling ... PS: Do you realize that this thread has nothing to do with the thread you're linking to? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  19. I know this. However, I don't think this is one of those times. Edit: In regards to cost of multiple suits. If people purchased a small suit first (to learn on) and a large suit later then they would have all the suits they need. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

  21. Given your tracking claims all you need is your RW suit for those 80mph flocks, a small wingsuit for those 60mph flocks, and your large wingsuit for those 40mph flocks ... I didn't give Lurch advice on how to fly. I did applaud him for choosing to change wingsuits to a more appropriate (smaller) wingsuit based on the performance of the formation he was flying in ... And I achieve the same effect for 1/20 the cost. Which wingsuit manufacturer is paying you to sell unnecessary suits? Not buying a small suit (to go with your big suit) is only 1/2 the cost. Just because you can do it doesn't mean it's the right way to do it ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

  24. While I don't believe we fall straight down if are knees aren't locked I do believe we don't fly nearly as far as we think we do when are knees are bent (45' or greater). "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  25. I don't believe the way forward is wearing large wingsuits and lead. Maybe for the "weekend warrior" but not for the "challenges" and "records" ... Than try to think like e.g. a Finnish wing suit flier. How does a Finnish flier think? I'd rather fly a small suit, than a big with more weight. I got enough weight for my carpet. Who made that quote? I agree, I would rather fly a small suit than a big suit with more weight. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
