  1. I play around with a home machine and E thread every once in a while and I found out its not just the size of needle but the type of opening in it. Of course balancing the needle to bobbin tension is a challenge and it needs to be way higher than the machine is rated for.
  2. Hey this is a serious V3 thread with more substance than the other one. Don't post in here unless you have positive V3 info.... if you don't just post in the other V3 thread,Scott.
  3. Glen's defintion of jacking off in the back yard.... "I was outside mixing concrete and watching the puffies slide by" But that doesn't take all day, even if I wanted it to. Even with the thick skin. So Far Ed you've mentioned Jason's scrotum puppetry and my method for shotcrete. That gives us about 20 seconds before Calentine sinks a comment on your line of man junk thread drift. You know I'm going to have to respond with a picture that a lot you perps won't like..... don't take it there.
  4. Guess he is getting slow in his old age. I was outside mixing concrete and watching the puffies slide by.
  5. Oh come on you know there has never been more than 130 of us. Well there is thousands of wingsuit base guys they tell me but they won't post in here. Do you miss the old days of relentless brand and instructor bashing? Or do you just want less flock and world record flock bashing?
  6. - enough flocking and more formations. How RWesque, but I don't mean that in bad way.
  7. And show me the ONE thread on dropzone.com that doesnt have thread-drift Do you want me to direct link it from this tread or start a new tread with reference to the driftless thread?
  8. I'm a big proponent of discussing the WS channel in this tread and discussing helmets in a helmet thread.
  9. Jim didn't comment on safety as much as I was commenting on his lack of enthusiasm for this particular event, while in the past he was anywhere PF needed him Zoo or no zoo. But now I read it as he will not paricipate in any flocking event whatsoever if it doesn't have a chance to represent something with a clearly defined goal and the possibility to achieve it. No more just for fun flocks. Is that it Jimbo?
  10. Actually I know there is more than 130..... I think once again you missed a snipet of humor. Proper humor is so rare in this forum.
  11. You know there is only like a hundred and thirty of us buying wing suits don't you? Granted some of us have bought half a dozen, or a dozen (Avery) but still. Does that sound like enough to keep four or five wingsuit manufacturers in full production? Not unless you guys tell other skydivers that there are some cool events for wingsuits from acro-centric to big way style coming up that they can get on and have fun with more like minded wingsuit people. Its all good if you tell a friend. They won't make them if we don't buy them. Somewhere out there is a fresh young face waiting to replace Purple Mike in all those face shots we see so often. You just got to get em in a suit and bring them with to events.
  12. Why no use a very detuned para glider vario. No GPS errors or palm pilot program lag but it needs to be way detuned or its going to scream your ear off. But atmospheric pressure is an absolute benchmark.
  13. Tony, the new Yuri........ Right, So when do You need a bigger suit to go legs on ass flying? You just need to go flying, period! I thought you stuck in Gitmo.
  14. Admit it Jimbo, you have, in the past, happily attended events that have not exhibited this level of discipline, planing and sophistication but more than the commensurate level of over promotion despite being really freakin dangerous. Events that displayed the discipline of an open Ice cream buffet at the special olympics. This won't have really big Russian jets buts its cool enough to bring your wife and kid to it. If you won't do it for you, do it for K.
  15. If 100 people want to go flock (assuming safely as in 08) then why not
  16. What ever happened to the video meet concept? We are having to resort to that for some regional 2-way CRW stuff here in the US.
  17. I consider the PF guys trustworthy enough to design and build a suit that I will be trusting my life to (in a way). If you plan to start WS base you may want to do a few with your acro before getting bigger wings. In fact I highly recommend you get the shadow leg wing-mod for the acro, regardless if you base it or not. Have you noticed the few people with new custom acros that have more leg wing? A little bird told me it is a sweet combination.
  18. I only had a double gentlemans jack and then a bottle of Cab from a local producer. Why do you worry?
  19. Neither edit AVCHD natively without pluggins correct?
  20. You are an hour out at SFO. I wanna be there trust me gotta work that weekend. Too bad Kate and Nick could not make it nice lads all of them. The in air com is the best. In case of weather you will know where to paintball. Serious I hope Nick and Cate can make any Lodi gathering in the future.
  21. Scott is a good guy, but he did do the devils first flight course.
  22. Whats wrong with sarcasm? Brand wars now are more like skirmishes compared to the old days. The newer face of the forum is about higher mathematics and the body fat index of north americans vs the inability of some US bashers to stand still in their line.
  23. Otter, High point was that it was the first flight test of my new old favorite wingsuit that was down for many months of redesign and refurbishing.
  24. I'm actually kinda interested in the Webbie HD for mounting on struts, feet, bedroom posts, everywhere. Hell for $199 and av/r control; probably not made by Sony but seems pretty much a disposible camera. Quote DSE is going to slap me for this but: the webbie records in MP4 HD, what is that uncompressed AVCHD? Don't laugh now.
