  1. Off topic, Our team got ghost 107 and practiced for the first time together with them and they were pretty nifty. Not bad for the first time on a new canopy. Next year will be sweet.
  2. Firewire itself is still going to be around as Firewire 800, it offers twice the transfer speeds of current firewire. Its perfect for external hard drives and other high speed applications. Really? I was under the impression both were on the way out. There is a cable or converters to connect 400 and 800. Its good to know the cable won't be obsolete so soon.
  3. Are you talking to me or are you talking to Jason? Or are you talking to me pretending to be voodoo? Or voodoo pretending to be me not confusing either of us with Nicole's voodoo who does real porn although anybody who has skydived for a few years has seen voodoo, or er Jason's scrotum at the end of videos. I hope Nicole's voodoo's real name isn't Jason.
  4. Are you a fucking retard?!? Question not a personal attack. You've taken the bar so you must be partly retarded. Fuck you! Fuck all you hero wannabees! Fuck all you Slack jaw record holders. Fuck all you non-efficient-non stable plane exiters. Fuck all you BOD beggin whiners. Fuck all you drama hoes. Fuck all you attention swallowing wingsuit instructors. See that is the way you do it. I've never posted under another ID. I'll tell ya to your face. If I've left anybody out fuck you too! For the record I have nothing against Flock-u. I even defended Flock-U in private emails when people thought the WS instructor BOD proposal was Flock-U centric to dominate the instructor ranks. I have no issues with Justin or any of them. Second there is hardly been a thread worthy of being involved with in this forum other than gear related posts........until your brain fart. If you are going to be a retard I will straight up respond just like you are one of those worthless instructors I so love to ridicule,no badge, no problem.Just keep up your ball-licking antics.
  5. How about you mount the cx-100 in some custom glove on your left wrist canted forward of the wing leading edge but manage the wing gripper with a an extension that extends forward and angle out in the direction of your hand. Like the tiller on a sailboat. Assymetrical grippers will be awkward but you will have less bulk and gadgetry while the camera has a more solid platform and the ability for some real time camera aiming.
  6. Robby, One of the nicest guys you can meet at any DZ. A shining star in the group of young CRW pups I enjoy watching excel. I'm lost for words.
  7. I was barbara's lock-up on one of the big way camps for a day. She made my job easy. She made me look better than I was. I'll never forget our syncronized bail out in one instance. Such Sweet person, she will be missed.
  8. I'm buying a shotgun. I got two girls and four shotguns.
  9. I've got hundreds of cobalt/wingsuit jumps @1.4 with no problems. 1 cut away on a ws/cobalt @1.6. The last 200 wingsuit jumps have been on a tri @1.4 but I will admit the cobalt is way more fun. Obviously wing loading is very important and how much of a "big suit" you have.
  10. Regular cobalts, radicals and alphas are great with a wingsuit depending on wingloading. H-modded or competition cobalts have the exact same issues as the crossfire the nose is closed off and during slower deployments you spend a longer time flying the slider. It seems like an eternity as you are spilling air up around bigger wingsuits.
  11. It was a joke. I was serious. I tried to make a closed in nose eliptical canopy open quicker for videoing competition crw jumps that I didn't want to fly an overloaded 7 cell with a video set-up. I tried pushing the slider in the back of the pack job, keeping the slider collapsed, partially collapsed and I also tried the mesh slider. Some things worked ok on hop and pops. Just for experience I tried those set-ups with a wingsuit. The mesh slider on hop & pops bed sheeted 50% of the time. 100% of the time on wingsuit deployments followed by a violent buck until the cells inflated.
  12. The problem with the mesh slider is that it might possibly give you full bottom skin inflation before the cells get pressurized. You will be under a bucking bed sheet until the canopy inflates. It is very hard to find a method that compliments the x-fire inlets at slower deployment speeds that is repeatable and predictable. You may try stuffing the slider in the back of the pack job, or not rolling the tail so tight. All of this is very experimental and repeatability is very hard to achieve.
  13. sorry man, not having a go at you, but if you cant be bothered answering.. dont! DO NOT tell me to use the search-function, as i already HAVE
  14. Here ya go:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSCjZuS2up0 Mr Bill plus a canopy dock transfer the "bill" to the other canopy. Bill didn't die but he did have to go to the hospital due to hurting a previous spinal fracture. Lightnings loaded at over 2.5 to 1 open harder than normal which is harsh. And you don't want to know how much lead the single canopy flyer had on just to keep up with the overloaded pair.
  15. The new sub would have 2x 66-34.5kV 150 MVA banks. This is just to feed the furnace. We are trying to get the short circuit capacity up. It would also have 2x 28 MVA banks for our 12kV auxiliary feeders. I was under the impression that the emeron 66kv was just for your Aux and the furnace was fed from a 220kv from the north. I'm not a distribution guy, strictly generation.
  16. Yup Grapeland, I was the CO there during construction. I remember watching a few heats a day through the door opening, impressive! Since commisioning We operate grapeland and the others remotely so I haven't watched in while.
  17. Hey Jeff I operate the facility just south of your shop the one along your 66KV line next to Etiwanda. I remember in 07 you guys were doing like 4 or more pours a day.
  18. How many people would just say "fuck it" and become totally self focused? Like some of us are not doing that now?
  19. I completely agree this whole seperate segment should just be thrown out for being largely ludicrous!
  20. Looks pretty........dangerous.
  21. You are killing me smalls!! Although the big difference between me and Funarimonauti........ I actually fly my wingsuits........ that I bought with my own money.... and now back to the movies!
  22. This is exactly why your ratings and regulations won't work. Those who want it badly enough will find a way ... Fixed it.
  23. You know all this is going to make some really funny reading in a few years time. I can always count on a laugh revisiting the archives and the comments that select posters make.
