Which AAD to get? Vigil II, Cypres 2, M2?
virgin-burner replied to valoche's topic in Gear and Rigging
It won't be long before I'm shopping for one. I only care about saving money so I can feel better about spending it. with 50 jumps in 3yrs. good going! let's hope you keep them gopro's rolling so the younglins have another lesson in the "this is how you could die"-video, or just the "bounce"-video. i like my cypres2, and when it's over and done with in 4yrs, most likely i'll get another one. and feel very confident it wont kill me, kill others or just take a plane down. and very confident it'll save my sorry ass when shit hits the fan. -
dhis canpoaes r cald SAFIRE and SABRE. is it really that difficult? i'm on another forum where they'll fucking BAN you if you write like a nutsack. if we applied those rules here, nobody would be posting anymore, but PLEASE, for the love of god, get them fucking canopy-names straight, would you? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

largest cross braced canopy?
virgin-burner replied to ShotterMG's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
and here i was thinking, nzaerosports made you any of their parachutes in any size.. so If i ever want to downsize from my crossfire 2 169. I can order a v x 168? i was under the impression you should be able to order a 305 petra if that was your thing. i'm quite sure you'd get a couple eyebrows lifted your way, but other than that, yes, that's how i understand their marketing. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

virgin-burner replied to valoche's topic in Gear and Rigging
fair enough.. personally, i'm a cypres2 owner. and really, if you want to save a couple bucks, why not buy a BASErig? no AAD's, only one parachute.. much cheaper! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda -

well, you can set your cypres2 to activate at any height. havent done your homework well enough. as for metal-housing, that also adds additonal weight. nothing wrong with "plastics", as it can easily be more durable than "metal". “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

what countries are aads mandatory?
virgin-burner replied to skypuppy's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
i'm always having a GREAT time in croatia! skydiving included. the gear they jump though.. i've had my micron with me, when i got back to the dz after getting food, everyone sat around it and praised it. kinda funny. them folks dont seem to have too much access to modern gear.. -
well, that escalated quickly! "WTF are you doing DAVID!" that was hilarious! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

3rd Viso in 5 months. Guess I'm N3 bound.
virgin-burner replied to jstratfan's topic in Gear and Rigging
if you're unhappy, wait until you get an N3. more often than not, i keep finding myself jumping my first altimeter. the battery on the N3 is a total piece of shit. and if you want to use it for anything other than logging your jumps, you're not finished spending money, or you go throgh the trouble of navigating through the shitty menues. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

find one of the bigger boogies, jump your selection, decide. for what it's worth, i jump a safire2, VERY pleased with the customer service i've received (sent it in after 4yrs of ownership, got it fixed, new t-shirt, free of charge) and it's a nicely opening, fun canopy. very likely, i'll keep on jumping it until i give up the sport. at least until the crossfire3 comes out! nzaerosports is a great small company!

With 200 Jumps loading 1,46 (Sabre 2 135)
virgin-burner replied to enta's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
it always turns to sangi 2.0. sangi busted 360°'s with 150 jumps until he got busted. and posted EVERY (questionable!) video. no courses. no mentoring. just one bad decision after the other. at one point he's had a sub-100 katana, was it a 90? i dont remember. he smacked in with about 180 jumps, pretty much right after he went back to his 129 safire2, from hard pressing from side, public naming and shaming and even calling his dz about his katana. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

Can't be a step-through if the lines were assembled correctly and the lines on the rear riser are still correct. Mark mark, there's NO WORD for this, it's NOT assembled correctly, that's what's so funny about it! the riser is twisted and SOMEONE managed to even turn it through the lines, i dont know how to describe it. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

THAT^^ i think there's even something like a step-through as to describe best. you were so totally drunk dude, i'm PMSL here. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

What trouble can happen jumping a rig like that. Tension knot? i'm not a rigger, that's what most likely could happen. see twisted steering-lines in skydiving, or worse, BASEjumping, that resulted in bad things happening. friction is higher, so more chances of. i would fix that if i were you. i've hooked my first canopy up alone (skydiving) and had a line misplaced, i fixed that instantly before the next jump, it freaked me out. keep your gear in functioning order, treat it well, it may safe your life!

were you drunk when you hooked that up!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

What is the weirdest cult movie you have ever seen?
virgin-burner replied to oldwomanc6's topic in The Bonfire
not sure if this counts as cult, J'Lo's butt sure is, and the movie is called "The Cell", pretty fucking weird. If you like japanese splatter-movie-cult-weirdness, "Audition" from Miike Takashi, i can not highly speak enough of this movie, try avoiding dinner, lunch, breakfast, dont watch your pets eat, best thing is you dont eat for a week before watching. it's AWESOME!!! classic cult movies, i like sci-fi, "2001 - a space odyssey" and "2010 - the year we make contact", semi-weird. and i love watching "Alien" over and over again. Everything by Ridley Scott is cult. not really weird, although the more movies to the franchise, the weirder but less cult they become. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.
