  1. When I was jumping with Jon we went with 1 and 2 cans and in both configurations you could definately see the smoke trail from the ground.. I think 4 jumps with 2 cans would be very easy to spot.
  2. West point is doing wingsuits on the weekend of May 6, i'll be doing instructing -- c'mon out lets make some big flocks!!
  3. for those who didn't see it, here
  4. Check out the frontpage of flybirdman.com, there's a news link for a company called motionbased
  5. Just found out about motionbased.com appears to interface with our popular forerunner GPSes...
  6. Nope, I'm pretty sure that is the old model.
  7. my condolences, I don't think I knew Dr Kenny
  8. Is this picture from Feb of This year or Feb of last year ?? If it is this year, I don't see how they could possibly be anywhere near opening in Feb (as they were originally predicting) if it is feb last year, well.. they need to update their website :)
  9. I just heard a commercial for UPS and the president? owner? someone from Velocity helmets was speaking about how they use ups to ship their skydiving helmets, etc.. Anyone else heard it ? Lots of skydiving in commercials lately, the #1 Superbowl commercial was a skydiving one for budweiser..
  10. If you're a techie you can use Vomit I've used it, works pretty well in the scenerios I've used it in. I believe it only works with Cisco though.
  11. This isn't true for us wingsuit flyers! When people make fun of wingsuit flyers I always laugh and tell them I'm getting my money's worth out of the jump In 40 skydives I can get 80 minutes of freefall on average
  12. There are pictures of the SG on the front page of flybirdman.com Kevin
  13. PM me, if he's a user here lemme know wanted to PM him something Thanks! Kevin
  14. Well I try to maintain the knowledge base on http://www.flybirdman.com called the "Learning Center"
  15. Anyone who has seen flight of the phoenix, can you explain this whole using a shotgun shell to start the engine thing? I've never seen that and i'm really scratching my head as to exactly how that one works.
  16. Well I get in on the 8th and have to get settled in so won't be jumping then, no chance of the 9th or the following weekend?
  17. Will be in town for a few weekends, gonna be jumping at Z-Hills - mainly wingsuit, anyone around want to flock? Kevin
  18. Voodew, i forget - are you a BMI? That jump was a huge accident waiting to happen as Kris has already pointed out, a camera helmet, a 107, no cypres? Congrats on your first BM jump, but more congrats on not killing yourself. I didn't read how many jumps you had on the 107 before taking it on a BM jump. I STILL very rarely jump with a camera helmet on my BM jumps and I have over 250 of them, that of course is a personal preference - always have a cypres and jump a lightly loaded hornet.
  19. I just got an email from him the other day, I don't think he posts here much - he's working on something right now for discovery called extreme survivial, getting shoulder surgery soon, and that's about it. For those who are interested, here is an interview I did with him a while back.
  20. Just keep in mind, the time I was out there doing Balloon loads it was basically 1 bird at a time. What would be cool is if there were two balloons taking off at the same time that had ws flyers in them, you might could pull of multiple 2 ways if you both launch at the same time. That'd be cool

    Oceans 12

    Yep, have to agree - high suckage factor. I played a good video game before the movie though I guess that was the highlight of my night at the movies. Afterwards I went to a bar in Fayettville, NC and had a jolly rancher infusion for the first time, (sky vodka & jolly ranchers?) was very good
