Anyone heard new monotrack news??? ETA? cool features?

I have thick dacron lines on a new canopy and need to sew my steering toggle loops in position because I cant pull it through a second time to finish the no sew fingertrap method, it is just too thick. Anyone here hand stitched their toggle loop instead of bar tacking and have any advice? Type of thread, and method of stitching would be greatly appreciated. Not that this is rocket science, but I figured someone here might have some advice for me. There is a whole lot of line fingertrapped up inside all the way up to my brake setting, so I doubt it is going anywhere but I'd rather be safe than sorry and have not hand sewed something like this before so any advice is appreciated. Are there any good tutorials online on how to hand sew a bar tack? Think a standard backstitch is good enough? Any specific type of thread I need to use?

Classless thread to post, but I already know exactly what will happen. He will hype the crap out of it (just like Jeb) for as long as possible, and then he will jump but pull his chute and back out last minute. I honestly hope he doesnt do it. I dont see this ending well. But if he does go for it, best of luck.

Cant believe it took me so long to hear about this. We miss you man. Damn. RIP Howard.

Thanks for the explanation guys. Headed to the DZ right now to try it out.

Just got mine in the mail, can't wait to fly it this weekend. Pardon me for being thick headed, but I can't help but wonder the following. If the flysight knows how fast Im descending, and what altitude I am at why can't it act as an audible altimeter as well?

No problem. WHat days will you be going?

Sick vids! Love it. On a related note; hows that wingsuit book coming along that you alluded to on the BJ.com forums?

Whats the timetable on selling the flysight with a mount included? Im about to place an order with paragear for some stuff and wondered if it was worth ordering one now or if the mount would come out pretty soon.

So sad. Thanks for taking me on my first A, and putting up with my slow climbing. I will never forget that day Gary. Blue skies.

Any updates on the game recently? Going to be a good one!

The adhesive itself is fine, but I have had several of my plastic brackets break (not exactly during a jump I dont think, but when your helmet gets knocked around cracks can develop that you dont notice until the camera falls off). The metal cookie mounts are bomber though. Yes, they are expensive but if it saves you from replacing even one GoPro then they are worth it.

Wow that suit seems like it has a really slow forward speed. If the video didn't show the exit you could have told me that person was under canopy and I would have believed you.

Does anyone have a fused ankle? What can/can't you do because of it? I will need one in the future and am nervous about how it might limit me. I still want to skydive, BASE, speedfly, ski, mountain bike, rock climb, hike, etc... and am wondering how this may affect me. Any help would be appreciated. I would LOVE to talk to someone who has had this done and is still active in adventure sports.

How much better is the new backlit sensor in low light on the CX150? Trying to justify the extra cash over the CX100 and wondering if its worth it.
