Totally. People, skydiving is evolving, think about it. For example I bet 10 years before you were saying same things about other stuff, which now are popular and everyone is doing. Europe has BASIK tandem rigs, with which you can do stuff like atmonauti no problem, so I suggest you order some of those rigs and start evolving as well "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today."

Sorry, my bad, I meant experienced passenger. "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean

Couldn't have said it better myself! "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean

Aaawww, man, how could you quit skydiving and at least not get into BASE jumping?! Sad to see people go, I don't even know you, but it's just sad seeing how they don't have any feelings for the sport, I have no idea why, but this feeling sucks. "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean

Yeah that comment made me lol. But the sad thing it's actually true. Really, after all the shit you see in this world, how can you actually believe there is "god"? "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean

Oh come on man, people are different. They can actually enjoy listening to music while freefalling! WoW! Thats hard to believe right? You can't / don't while they can! "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean

Which say: "You can flyyyyyyyyy, don't puuuuuuuuull..." ? "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean

I can barely hear my iPod Classic on full volume in the plane (L-410) and you're talking about freefall "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean

As in hold onto the student, which is hooked onto the TI, when they deploy, jump off em ! "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean

I meant as in tandem tandem Mr Bill "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean

uhm... ...what do you talk about in a dropzone? SKYDIVING! "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean

Hell yeah ! In line for tandem Mr Bill ! "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean

Yeah leave the sport to the youngsters "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean

There will always be people who want to get everything from what they do, no matter the risks

And fails miserably http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=fM_hG9a2_9o "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean

haha USA is funny really. I remember there was a case because some "smart" ass ate a candy with the plastic wrap and got sick, so he sued the company and won. Now there is a note on all kinds of product wraps "do not eat" "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean

Just cut the drogue with a knife "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean

Thanks! Guess it's gonna be hell of a lot more atmo jumps then usual now, since it's possible to learn HD doing it "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean

Good question, I was wondering the same... "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean

Hmm, weird, it's not that hard to get into atmonauti, at least to get a hang of the traditional belly atmonauti... "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean

Hey, I'm doing atmonauti on most of my jumps, incredible and fun discipline I must say. What I was wondering, is it possible to learn head down by doing atmo? What I mean is, when I do atmo, I try to take very very steep angles, to be as close to head down as possible, I notice a very very high speed increase (the wind starts to get very loud, I just feel the speed increase with my body and when I transition back on my belly I feel that I'm being slowed doing very immensely) off course I see (my point of vision) is as if I'm going head down, however I do know I'm not actually head down, I'm just in a very very steep angle and I'm still going a bit forward like normal atmo/tracking. So is it possible to eventually learn normal head down from doing this? "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean

He surely doesn't go head down all the way till deployment, just a little bit, then release drogue, slow down and then deploy Hes only a tandem master (and a freeflyer) at the moment. The people who were my AFF instructors (almost all of them) are not TI, only one which was my main instructor in the end, but he doesn't do any of that new tandem stuff, however he does do low hookturns, because hes not used to swooping (hes really old school type of guy, been in the sport for a long time, but hes very awesome, as in personality).
