Long ago a demo into the Hamilton air show, out of some old yellow biplane, can't remember what it was. We did a downplane above the crowd then swooped in front of a huge crowd, the got driven around in a convertible and signed autographs for the kids. It was a great day, I guess I've had better skydives though. Also some of the paraski events in the 80s were fun, accuracy on to the slopes from helicopters and lots of good times. Also first trip to Z hills and first DC3 jump, Southern Cross

It says in the schedule Red Bull Airforce jumping at 1:30...I'll be there...so who is it and how many, I assume a swoop at the main grandstand?

if your on the gound getting dragged you can pull an SOS just a bit for cutaway only with most systems and a couple of practices

That race today was amazing, good to see Rossi back. I wish I was going to COTA, maybe next yr. Watched it live on Eurosport, if you get that. Also had it streaming oh and all MotoGP, F1 and PPV etc is streamed live free at usagoals.com

I was always fascinated with aviation, a guy I worked with had around a thousand jumps, I was impressed and decided it was my cheapest way to get in the air. Once I saw my first 4 way in freefall (laying on the grass) then some nice soft easy landings...(F111 days). I was hooked

This is why skydiving is much more dangerous now

lol, didn't even think of that, yeah some big dudes there. Wonder how big the women are.

Pretty fair to me, doubt it would go over well in N America though.... http://m.ibnlive.com/news/samoa-airline-introduces-paybyweight-pricing/382863-2.html

That makes me wonder if they are really a good choice for any canopy

Very cool, I remember my first jump, what a feeling! The girl on staff sounded really good too.

Me too! feel ok about that since I never go to the gym. I do a lot of sports though, like... fun exercise.

I'm an apple user since '90, in the graphics business. Never had an iphone though, just the computers. I think the loss of Steve Jobbs was a huge blow to their vision.

Just searching to see if these lyrics were somewhere and boom, nice! ^ This song reminds me of Joe RIP Jo and Rick

I didn't think it costed that much these days. I thought about $800 would do 8 or so AFFs, no need for a tandem really, oh well, times change I guess.

^ cool. Have to wait and see, but looking good!

I used to ride every weekend 2 hrs to the DZ. I wore my rig and twisted pilot around the leg strap. Was comfy.

I follow with interest, but really, you're lucky to still be alive after that...lol

Just wondering if anyone knows if the military is developing or interested in wingsuit technology. Seems like they would be pretty useful in some cases, especially if they had a place they could land in them.

It's absolutely absurd. You really should abandon everything now and take whatever losses rather than invest more time and money. Honestly, I feel that you are foolish to do this and lack the basic understanding or engineering, sorry, but I am 100% sure you would die if you ever tried to fly that thing or anything similar. I'm trying to be honest and do you a favour, nothing else.

got any footage?

I never met you, or was a member when you'd post here. You've inspired me to be a better person, friendlier and less selfish. I'd like to be remembered with such love. I read this whole thread and some of your posts about a month ago, I'm now much happier and I think more liked, thanks to your life.

Good news! I'll be going this fall, looks good

That's less than 10 mins from my Parents house! Hope it happens
