  1. I'm really interested in these two containers. I'm considering buying one of them in the future (it will be a long time before that, but still, just thinking). What do you think of them? What would you choose for mainly Freefly? I have a lot of people in my dropzone (Pociunai, Lithuania) using Advance containers and no one has a Voodoo here. Only yesterday back here in UK I had the chance to see a Voodoo in person, it looks great...

  2. Why? Is this trick not allowed? "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean
  3. Hello, I wanted to ask maybe any of you can find a video where there are guys jumping with a tandem and then standing on him and holding on the drogue, can't seem to find it, but I remember seeing it one day on youtube.... Thanks "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean
  4. Great job to everyone! Looks absolutely stunning! Imagine though how kickass it would have been if you all had smoke? 71 smoke trails, seeing that from the ground and sky that would be simply unreal. Anyways, super! "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean
  5. I remember, during my tandem and when I was doing AFF I used to have really unpleasant pain in the ears, but it passed and I no longer feel any discomfort. Also, don't jump if you have a really bad cold with a running nose. I jumped a lot of times with a running nose and the liquidy boogers would cover my goggles all over during freefall and I could barely see where I was going (I was always taking tissues with me in my jumpsuit pocket so I could wipe them off after I deploy my canopy) "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today."

  6. That's really weird in USA (the high age requirement) Back in Lithuania people can start doing SL, tandem, AFF at the age of 14 (with parents consent). "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean
  7. That's pretty much me. With a measly 70-80 jumps at that time (94 in total) trying to learn how to swoop, doing long front riser spirals, very low hookturns (which one quite scared me lol), pulling at 700-600metres. I can't help it actually, it's too damn fun. "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean

    Atmonauti jump

    Oh I wish I could join them, but I'm at uni now and I have left my gear back in my home country... "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean
  9. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=dVUTsBJLirY 0:11 time (formation) 0:23 (wingsuit) How do they film like that? Like the ground is always moving but they got the target perfectly clear? What kind of a video trick is that? "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean
  10. Well, skydiving didn't really change my life. It's the same as it was before. I'm the same withdrawn silent person as I was before, in the dropzone as well, I rather go sit in the field by the weathercock alone and watch others land or just stare at the sky instead of sitting by others chatting and so on... Only thing that's different now is that I skydive, which I wasn't doing before. I like the freedom in the air, doing atmonauti and feeling as if I'm flying (which was dreaming of doing always), when the canopy inflates and I feel safe, the good views, peace and silence up in the sky and I don't know why but I kinda feel at peace (spiritually) in my home dropzone (Pociunai in Lithuania), it's really a magical place, got a beautiful river Nemunas just by it's side, the sky there is always so incredibly bright, the clouds seem as if they are glowing I feel weird there, but I love that feeling. Here's a couple of pictures... "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean
  11. I do the "yank to your waist/or as much as you can" thing all the time with my 195 Falcon. I used to do the same with 190 Briz (a copy of Spectre), I loved those spyrals, same with my front risers yank em down instantly and hold doing 3-4 spirals no problem... Don't know how smaller canopies would perform though "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean

    Atmonauti jump

    Last season I started doing atmo (on my belly) jumps. I love this discipline, well the only one I can do is on the belly, but it's still a lot of fun. Just wanted to show a video of one of my atmo jumps (I got 94 jumps in total now) and what do you think of it? I know my arms are a bit back, but I have corrected that now
  16. Ha! You only got this problem. I'm so light that I can't jump with anyone, they just fall like bombs past me. "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean

    Great vid :) Hows the wingsuit compared to phoenix vampire2 or stealth (if you tried them)? "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean

    Jii wings

    Hello there, Just found this new wingsuit (http://www.jii-wings.com/gallery.htm) and it seems really different from phoenix and birdman wingsuits, it has a huge wing and leg span. Has anyone tried out this wingsuit and what could you tell about it, how does it fly in base and normal skydives? "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean
  20. Ah just as I was thinking. Simply a skydiver who doesn't have good experience and he thinks hes the best there is. "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean
  21. Hey, So I heard this term "sky god" reading around everywhere and I was wondering, what does it mean? Thank you "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean
  22. Thank you a lot for your reply DSE I guess I'll be going for the mindwarp then
  23. So I guess mindwarp is the way to go? What about tonfly nino helmet? "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean
  24. Hello there, I'm a newbie skydiver (with 21 jumps), getting my gear during the winter and I have a dilemma with helmets. I'm looking for a FF helmet and I narrowed my choice to 3 of them: 1. http://www.boneheadcomposites.com/guner.htm 2. http://www.boneheadcomposites.com/mindwarp.htm 3. http://www.tonfly.com/NI-O_500964.html One skydiver told me to go for tonfly, even though He's using boneheads guner. And I'm confused. Alot of skydivers say that bonehead helmets have high quality. So which helmet to choose? Thank you, Sangi "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean
