  1. I got the same email for my rig with this follow up.

    "Great, this is exactly what I need and I'd really like to pay you in
    cash at hand but right now , I want the item but i live in NY. I can
    overnight the payment to you Perhaps, given my job as a set
    administrator for a movie. We move from one location to another, so am
    just very used to buying and would make arrangements for it to be
    picked up after you must have confirmed payment with your bank. So my
    means of payment will be Certified Cashier's OR Money Order ,which is
    more secured and better than any other means of payment.

    I'm okay with the price $ 2800 so that you consider it sold to me
    including transport logistics fee. The pick up will be effected by my
    transporter after you have confirmed the payment cleared to your
    account.

    If this is ok by you, I will need these information below to enable me
    send the payment out to you immediately via UPS so that we can
    proceed. (1) Full Name.... , (2) Address to mail the payment....(not a
    postbox address). ,(3) Cell Phone number....

    I will mail you the payment tracking number as soon as I get the
    information and let you know when you will receive it."

  6. I'm not sure that anyone has any stats on that. I've always used parapack (TonySuits Raptor and S-Bird) but I'm getting a P2z that is balloon. Parapack is definitely thicker and weighs more. I know that when my S-Bird inflated it felt like a solid wing. I'd like to see more side by side testing done with stuff like this (same suit, same pilot, different materials).

  7. I've got 200+ WS jumps on a Sabre1 170 and I love it. If it does spin up it keeps flying straight. I did replace the slider with an over sized slider from PD and it has helped the openings tremendously.

    Looks like this setup will give people the option to develop custom apps / display using android. I'm thinking it should be pretty easy to have a HUD for Contour video and GPS / glide ratio data. Below is the release from Contour about using android as a viewfinder.

  14. I have some vacation time next week and I'm trying to figure out if people will be jumping the 27th through the 30th at Zhills or Sebastian. I saw there was a Zhills thread going already but hadn't heard of any WS'ers planning on Sebastian. Anyone planning on being at either place next Mon - Thurs?

  18. My longest flight time was 3min23s on my S-Bird. It's one of the older models with the R-bird sized arms. I'm 5'11 / 170lbs. See attachment for Altritrack/Paralog graph. You can see where my arms die just before 3min and my fallrate just keeps getting higher :)

  19. I haven't seen one of those numbered lists started yet for Summerfest but there are 3 of us who just booked tickets. We'll be there from Friday night until Tuesday morning.

  20. I have successfully mounted my go pro using the "helmet / strap" mount by cutting two slices in the side of my shoe and running the straps through the two holes. I'll post a pic later. Here is a video I took with that method.

    After doing this, I think it would be better to cut the holes in the back of the shoe so the camera would stick straight up behind me. I do think this poses a greater risk to PC entanglement.

  24. Thanks for the info everyone! It sounds like out of the two Summerfest if where it's at. I'm going to be in Vegas at the end of the month so I can't do the rodeo boogie but I'm looking forward to doing some more flying with all the people I met in Puerto Rico and FND.

  25. Hello all,

    I'm trying to decide the next boogie I'd like to attend. Flock N Dock 6 was the last boogie I went to and it was great having so many groups to flock with. I haven't been to Skyfest or Summerfest and I'm wondering which one is better for wingsuiting and your opinion on the two boogies in general.

    Thanks!
