  1. Exactly! He is preaching to the guys that need/want to avoid Dating ( that does not include sex)/ serious relationships/and advice on women that will not be permenant in your life. He mentions these are not practices you do when you are with the women you will love forever.
  2. If you're going to crash in the Andes and have to turn cannibal, don't eat clowns. They taste funny. And don't eat the dick, or you are gay.
  3. I think Chuck has the most realistic caption here.
  4. You can't just call an action guy blickie and expect to get away with it!
  5. The issue is getting everyone out of the craft in time to join the formation. If the base puts the jets on late divers must afterburn to a formation ( not safe unless well skilled in the last second flare). Aircraft departure heading and glide slope are critical for the base or the late divers will have even more distance to make up. Prediction is we will have big way wingsuiters hanging half the load on the outside of the aircraft like all of those nostalgic pictures of jumpers standing outside of the beech 18s. In time all of these skills will be more easily cultivated in the average flocker who is willing to learn and maybe with radios we might see a two stage base departure speed curve.
  6. Not that I dont enjoy the Morse COde banter, I am curious if the PDF has been posted? I just checked the link and I cant find it? I could be missing it though.. Is it posted? Thanks Scott C. You can't just post it in public. I must be in a special for flyers eyes only, top secret access not for general public consumption kind of place.
  7. You'll be fine as long as you don't post about some holes you found in your parachutes ribs...... its happened more than once.
  8. Did your piece of paper look like mine? Your scrap of paper is way better than mine.
  9. What kind of numbers should I be aiming for for say the next 10 jumps? The answer is highly classified and un publishable in public. we don't want the freefallers to know. The best thing to do is proceed to where flocks are flying, introduce yourself, they will teach you the secret handshake and pass you a folded scrap of note-book paper with exactly the numbers you are looking for.
  10. If there are no cables how does the cutaway work fellas?
  11. Sony might be able to fix it for a flat rate. check their web site for costs on product repairs.
  12. There is a similar ball clamp thing designed to hold hand held instruments in an aircraft cockpit that is available from aircraft spruce and supply. That kit of components looks to be your best bet.
  13. 1) Is there mylar or other stiffeners in the arm wing? 2)Its a zip in suit, no more cables correct? 3)Is the little diagonal patch of fabric on the #1 cell next to the MLW penetration on the website JPG the air inlet?
  14. All of the 6000 series rod penetrate through nasty stuff but they require the skill of oscillating the rod in a zig-zag pattern and holding the rod at the proper height to maintain the arc. 6010 is for DC only. 6011 and 6013 are more general purpose. All of the 6000 series splatter like a mofo, you can spray pam ( cooking spray) so the globules don't stick. The 7000 series rod don't penetrate as well as the 6000 series and they don't work as well overhead as the 6000. They tend to take more power( heat). 7014 is the general purpose that works really well. 7018 requires a little more skill and post weld care of the bead until it cools. All of the 7000 series rod are sensitive to moisture trapped in the flux coating than the 6000 series but an oven will dry it out nice. You typically don't oscillate with the 7000 series you just lay down a steady straight bead.
  15. Jarno> Maybe have the flippers extend about 30 cm 'behind' your feet. So when you stretch your toes, they lock on your calves in the outstretched position you want em..? And pix man..we want pix! Lurch> The combined assembly was a wingsuit over 7 feet long collarbone to tailtip and made a SuperMach1 XS look small in comparison. It was almost unflyable. The armwings worked great and I'm still flying a downtuned version of the zilla mod today, still the only true convertible suit in existence so far as I know. But the tail was a disaster. Quote You two are going to get somebody killed and wingsuits banned forever. Right off the FAI acceptance desk and into heavy syndicated rotation on funny but lethal video programs. All of the skydivers and most of the wingsuiters will hate your broken asses....... keep it up.
  16. whats with all the hating on birdman pants Nothing, I have a set of bird-man pantz. They are great for tracking, atmonuati and boogieing on the dance floor. Now their new extreme fashion denim jeans are just gayer than Micheal Jackson. Now thats not hate gay, its just funny I'm laughing at your gay ass kind of gay. They could only be gayer if the BM add featured Jarno and Zeemax posing in the jeans instead of the ubber modelles that are in the actual add.
  17. Doode, That thing is screaming camera mount! Just make sure you bring your legs WAY down so as to avoid the PC deployment!!!
  18. Hey Dave the swoop banners you ordered for your team room just came in.
  19. i would still like to get a used one that would fit. it has to be cheaper then a new one Well what does the tony people do with the suits that have a few seasons of hard boogie use on them from the Demo pile?
  20. try and smile a little..it doesnt hurt.. Its just that I have been waiting to use that jpg on one of you comics for a while now . What makes you think I'm not smiling? We really need to meet then you would understand. Then we really need to fly together.... but I can't waive my coach rates...... because I'm a professional and if I waive for you I have to waive for everybody.
  21. Perfect example of why there is a an off site top secret discussion board not available to those without a direct need to know . To keep the retards and one liner arteestes playing with themselves here and not interjecting foolishness there. There are devices in place to make sure your kind don't have access.
  22. spacing between flyers, symmetry or similar? Well I think you just said it: similar spacing and total symmetry. < my answer There is an attendee virtual briefing where organizers give out timely info and answer questions off this site so as not to clutter this forum. Plus its hush hush need to know only < real answers from here.
  23. I don't know why people do that. I knew a guy once with about a thousand jumps and all he had was an A. I jump with a guy like that. You can do a lot with an A if you never want to do demos, compete at nationals, night jumps, land at the closer in tighter more demanding landing area at some boogies..... attend some other cool event or boogies that require a higher rating. This gentleman saved himself the time for the test and whatever the costs are. AND he has jumped balloons plenty, done open demos and has gone to boogies that required the higher rating by simply showing the event coordinator- organizer his log book and received a waiver.
