  1. jesus, i can never get those 3 minutes of my life back. why did i read that gravity brings me down.........
  2. you bet your ass ill be there! the track comp is this saturday as well, correct? gravity brings me down.........
  3. i simply rocked the exit flat and stable. especially with the lack of altitude on this one, but it was absolutely fun as hell!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPQ1CJ-C9z0 gravity brings me down.........
  4. flew a sabre2 190 that i borrowed for jumps from a friend, then purchased a spectre 150, sold it, flew a sabre1 150, then recently purchased a safire2 129. absolutely amazing canopy gravity brings me down.........
  5. news alert homeboy, thats exactly what we do. some of us just do it with style, or while covering miles across the ground. and if youre not having gentle landings, upsize or work on your canopy skills gravity brings me down.........
  6. lesson to be learned: if youre ready for flying a camera, have a damned cutaway system on it? gravity brings me down.........
  7. i dont know how accurate that is, i have a handful of friends that have gotten in serious accidents flying highly loaded speedwings close to the ground..........id be careful flying highly loaded canopies as well wether youre close to the ground or not. and if you want to fly backwards, but not hook your canopy up backwards, kick into a half line twist =) gravity brings me down.........
  8. it is an AWFUL reason, one made out of pure stupidity, and one that people should NOT ever use as an excuse to downsize. but my reason nonetheless gravity brings me down.........
  9. i got a GREAT deal on a canopy that is loaded pretty damn high for my experience level, but so far i havent told it to kill me yet! that is all 1.6, safire2 gravity brings me down.........
  10. thats because youre telling people what they want to hear........... gravity brings me down.........
  11. neither............. i prefer THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! gravity brings me down.........
  12. FUCK that. my curve is the best thing thats ever happened to me since extenze. gravity brings me down.........
  13. so im not taking anyones sides here, i dont really care about whether or not people jump cameras......... personally i was using a camera strictly to figure out how much hangtime i was getting from exit to pull in my tracks and WS jumps, and really nothing more. yes i have a cutaway on my helmet. i dont jump my gopro because first off, i suck at wingsuiting and secondly because the footage i get blows and is nothing special. therefore i choose to rarely jump with a gopro because its just an extra snag hazard during deployment and my videos are awful. =) i dont understand with newer jumpers, why cameras are such a "distraction"..... for me, i put the gopro on my helmet while im sitting waiting for the plane, i turn the power on and forget the camera is there. then, during the ride to altitude, i gear up, do my check check triple check on all my gear and handles, push the "record" button, and put my helmet on. then i get ready and i exit. for me personally, its only one extra step in the entire gearing up process and thats simply when i hit record.............otherwise its like the camera doesnt exist........ i suppose the target fixation during freefall is definitely where these idiots lose awareness and make big mistakes, that i am definitely NOT arguing. so i have to wonder where all these clowns who forget to route chest straps, who forget goggles, etc. etc., fuck up in their gear checks and make mistakes directly because of their cameras.............isnt that just darwinism/idiocy? anyways i suppose i just cant get a grip on people who forget such major shit like chest straps and stuff..... edit: we all know i have shit for experience, im not arguing with anyone just trying to figure out the difference between complete stupidity and distraction BEFORE the exit cheers gravity brings me down.........
  14. i was absolutely petrified of the door until about jump number 80-ish...........then i found myself next to it with my leg hanging out on the way up, and realized i had overcome door fear. keep at it! i see sfbayarea, i was jumping at byron saturday and sunday, were you there or at another DZ? gravity brings me down.........
  15. if it was dirt weed, id make butter with it. if it was the chronic, you can do the math gravity brings me down.........

  19. peteS installed a pocket on my slider for what it would cost to get drunk on malt liquor for the weekend. long snivel, but best few bux i ever spent. talk to any rigger gravity brings me down.........
  20. can anyone compare to how this thing flies in comparison to a tube3? as in difficulty in stability on the first few jumps. is it easier to control? gravity brings me down.........
  21. not sure how current or correct this is http://rigginginnovations.com/files/Docuemnts/Other/PIA%20Canopy%20Volume.pdf gravity brings me down.........
  22. Not jumping with a camera is a kind of suffering, now? Did you read the other stickied thread I posted? I also like how you flipped his loss of altitude awareness to being a "decision". He didn't decide shit, he got distracted by the camera and ended up a handful of seconds away from bouncing. Here's the video, if you'd like to see a fellow skygod in action. oh sweet, tender jesus, im still a noob, and dont know shit, but wouldnt you think that while your shooting your awesome video on your back, that when you see the entire formation of trackers, WELL above you under canopies, that maybe its time to pull? what a dumbass. all he needed was a spinning mal on his main to make that video really awesome! gravity brings me down.........
