  1. This is correct. The way the system was setup is that listings are created and owned by Dropzones themselves, and they are requested to keep their listings up to date and relevant to interested visitors. Only the owners of the listings and admins can make changes to them. Anyone looking to make changes to existing listings can send through the changes to me via PM and I will gladly amend the listings (I occasionally receive this info). Regarding the map. There is currently a map. Clicking on each pin will show the DZ name. Are there specific changes you guys are looking for regarding the map?
  2. We had a few days of downtime relating to some server maintenance. We had to do a rollback (no data was lost as the rollback was just prior to our work). But I wanted to ask that if anyone encounters any bugs to please report them here, so I can deal with them.
  3. Hey guys, It's been a while since our last scheduled downtime, but we're looking to upgrade our forum software to the latest version and will need to take the site offline for a day or two to complete this process. The site will be offline from tomorrow June 22nd around midnight. If all goes well, we hope to have the site back up within a few hours.
  4. Hey there This is an unfortunate result of excessive spam attempt sign ups. To protect our moderators from having too hectic of a time we became more careful about which accounts to accept and in the process a bit of a backlog has turned up. I'm working on some changes now that should ease up restrictions a bit, while also trying not to approve spam accounts. If anyone reading this has any issues with account validation, please drop me an email at: [email protected]
  5. Para Gear is interested in photographic submissions that you may have for the 2023 - 2024 Para Gear Catalog #84. We have taken the time to briefly describe the format and certain criteria that we look for, in order to help you to see if you have something worth submitting. We have included examples of previous catalog covers for your reference. Over the years Para Gear has used photos from all of skydiving's disciplines. We do not have a preference as far as what type of skydiving photo it is; rather we look for something that either is eye-catching or pleasing to the eye. In light of the digital age, we are also able to use photos that in one way or another may be less than perfect and enhance them, removing blemishes, flipping images, altering colors, etc. The following are preferences. However what we prefer and what we get, or choose, are not always the same. If however, we came down to a choice between two photos of equal quality, we would opt for the one that met more of our preferences. We typically prefer that the photo be brighter. In the past, we have used sunset photos and even a night jump photo, although by and large most of the photos are daytime. We like the subject of the image to contrast with the background. Subjects that are wearing brighter more colorful clothing usually stand out more. We prefer to have the people in the photo wearing equipment since that is what we sell. Headgear, goggles, jumpsuits, altimeters, audible altimeters, and gloves are all good. We also prefer to see skydivers wearing head and foot protection. We do not print any BASE jumping nor any Tandem photographs. No submissions of these will be accepted. We are not interested in any photos of individuals or groups of skydivers standing on the ground Our basic criteria are as follows: Vertical Format. The front and back covers of the catalog are both in a vertical format. We can use a horizontal (landscape) shot, as opposed to a vertical (portrait), and then crop it as long as the image lies within a vertical cropping. Photo Quality. The front and back cover shots will be printed as 8 ½ x 11 in 300 dpi format. Any film that can hold its quality up to this size and print dpi is fine. Digital format is preferred. In the event of a final cover choice, we prefer to be sent the original digital image or slide to get the best quality out of the image. Back Cover Photo. The back cover photo is no different from the front except in one respect. We need to have room on the left side of the image for the thumb index. In the past we have taken images and been able to horizontally flip them thereby creating this room. Originality. Anything that is original, eye-catching, or makes someone take more notice of the catalog covers is something we look for. It could be a photo from a unique camera position or angle, a scenic skydive, shots under canopy, landings, etc. We look for photos that have not been previously published and most likely would not accept them if they have, as we want a photo that no one else has seen yet. We also do not want any photos that are chosen as the front or back covers to be used for other non Para Gear advertising for a period of one year. Para Gear offers $500.00 each for both the front and back covers we choose. Our current deadline for catalog cover submissions is November 25th 2022. Sending sample pictures by e-mail to [email protected], If you are sending sample digital pictures please note that they do not need to be in a very large format. If we like the sample picture we will then ask you to send the higher-quality original. Please feel free to contact me directly with any questions.
  6. Baracuda Power Plus is the first one of our new generation variety for wingsuit products.As its name includes the fact, this suit is more robust version of Baracuda Power, meantime by preserving the easy handling feature together with stability and speed. Power Plus has more arm wings surface, so that is why the performance gets bigger, which improves the flare and glide ratio. Backflying: thanks to the new wings and leading edge the accomplishment of the backyling just got improved, and all the transitions became more easy and even more smooth. The main purpose of our development was to achieve a powerful, although easy to handle acro-power wingsuit. We provide the suit’s stability, with a brand new bootie formation, we could make by doing some modification on both legwings. Leading edge: We can send it with two type of performance foam. Either Soft and Power foam, which material was developed only for this purpose. It has 3 different layers, with a outer smooth coating- foam one in the middle- and a lower layer with net surface, which gives the important stability factor for the suit. Thanks to those improvements the leading edge’s aerodynamic, and shape are better, which means more performance even. On the first third of the armwings, and both esc sleeves got more than doubled amount of ribbs. So currently Baracuda Power Plus has the most dense ribbs system on each arms at the wing suit market. We want to assure You that Power Plus is not a nurtured model at all, since we are talking about a completely new 100 % new generation member of Intrudair wing suit product range. New Leading Edge: Thanks to the new leading edge, dense armwing ribbing and legwings tail design, the suit's performance and flare increased by at least 10-20%, this way the suit can catch up with the older, larger wing-surfaced models. Also the smoothness provides extra agility, easy handeling and stability.
  7. Intrudair proudly presents the new member of our high performance wingsuit line, The RS Base edition. During the development, we focused on maximizing its performance, safety and controllability. Thanks to the new air inlet design, the suit's pressurization is insanely rapid (2 sec), providing an extra fast start. The inner airflow system pushes the suit to shape - both arm and leg wing - almost instantly. Featured properties: - Nearly instant usability after exit. The suit can be quite aggressive, but we also focused on safety and usability features. - During relaxed flight, it's quite easy to control, after stepping in line it's still agile and smoothly controllable. It can go back to relaxed flying in an easy transition. - Easy to pull, deployment is complication free. Main Features: - New air inlets (unique in the market)- extreme fast inflating - Leading edge with high performance material, with an additional medium soft performance foam. - The rib count has been doubled, providing extra smooth wing surface - Foam filled booties, shape-preserving design for better stability
  8. When developing this suit, we kept in mind the comfort of jumpers with the help of a wearable suit. There have been new suit trends are occurring in the sport of skydiving worldwide latley. So we modified our freefly design to create a tighter and cleaner suit. The silhouette of the suit narrowly follows the anatomy of the body with a homogenic material use and 3D elbow and knee formation. The suit is tightly tailored on the upper parts of the body and around thighs. The elastic parts around the shoulders, between legs and side of the body will allow you to move much more comfortably. This model has been designed for use in the sky, but you can use it in the windtunnel without any problems as well. Do you want a unique suit? We can now print on taslan 4-ply to create a truly one off design. Choose your own look! When creating a normal speed suit, we suggest selecting taslan material on the body, arms and legs. For a fast, tight suit please choose a nylon front and upper arms. The knee and elbows are made from cordura 1000. The elastic parts will be manufactured from Brunico WX windproof felxible and strong highly quality material and the zippers are made from YKK The Extra options possible are to have an outside pocket, Cordura 1000 Bottom, freefly grips on the arms and legs and printed materials.

    Cam Jacket

    When You don’t want to change a full suit, but need some wings. Optimal choice for cameraflyers with many useful features. Thanks for the massive hip part the jacket is staying in position while You are jumping. But still comfortable because it has kind a lot elastic modules. Main material is 4-ply taslan, wings are made by nylon on the front and taslan on the back. Created based on opinions of experienced cameraflyers. For example, You can add outside pocket to the lower arm, in case You need a lens cleaning wipe or just to hold lens covers, etc… But thumb loop and cord for tense the wings are basics. Mesh lining inside. Available in 4 different wing sizes: sit, small, normal and big. 1. Sit wing 2. Small wing 3. Normal wing 4.

    Bootie Pants

    Optimal choice for those who don't prefer full body suits, but prefer the performance of the booties. We recommend it against the summer heat. The target audience for these pants are mainly AFF instructors, big way lovers, and every belly fliers who want to be more agile with the booties. Normal straight fit cut, power booties with two options (tighter bootie with zip, and a bit loose one with rubber stretch around the heels. There is a new feature, that you can ask for extra grips so it can be used in formation skydiving or big way with a T-shirt (or with a loose fit jacket, or camera jacket). The pants are made by taslan basic material, cordura knees and booties, and some elastic parts between the legs.
