  1. Packed one once. The spring loaded loop rectractor thingie (technical term) was annoying to say the least.
  2. See wingsuit banning at more than one dz. They own the plane they can do what they want.
  3. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=3908042;search_string=laterals%20wingsuit;#3908042 See the for not wanting cut in laterals on a wingsuit.
  4. This is a failure of procedures on their part, you should report this. Their policy is to not allow the bag to fly if they can't reach you and to not pull pins.
  5. Looks like you have the camel toe's bigger sister, a moose knuckle.

    It was covered extensively in my coach course, but, you already knew that, Spot, based on what we talked about at F'n'D.
  9. They removed the option for ZPX on their custom design section of their website for the Sensei.
  10. So you like to smoke the shit out of the small penis on your bicycle? Interesting ... Gotta be a bitch to keep lit.
  11. Spike and Jackie's linked exit at the beginning is adorable.
  12. Yea, sorry I misread what you were saying.
  13. Because a long and slender setup wouldn't work for a 5 foot tall person, where as it would be perfect for some 6 foot 2. And the opposite, a short and squat setup wouldn't work for someone 6 foot 2. This is important with regards to main handle placement.
  14. I think you'll locate the files when you locate your missing underpants.
  15. I know a camera flier at a major DZ in state that climbed out with his leg straps on but at full extension. Tightened them up on the camera step.
  16. Smallpox was annoying more than anything. Anthrax, I got hit with at like 6am in the morning and having missed breakfast, I almost face planted into a urinal at Benning's medical shed gauntlet two minutes after the injection. Hello blood pressure drop. While stretched out on a gurney, they gave me the smallpox innoc. I have almost a complete Anthrax series, never had any issue with them. Had some burning on one of the Hep A/B combo injections. My smallbox happy fun time ooze period lasted for almost 2 months, guess my body had fun with that. As for data for this thread, I am 27, innoc'ed when I was 24 as a contractor going to Iraq. Have a dime sized scar.
  17. I must agree. I saw no evidence the slider was ever up. But damn! A hard opening on a wingsuit dive??? You can actually have harder openings on a wingsuit skydive than a regular skydive due to the horizontal component. Add that the d-bag is coming off the back at a 150-180 degree angle vs a 90 in a regular skydive...it can make a whale of a diff if the wingsuiter does not slow the horizontal. I got reminded of the importance of shutting down all the wings on my 2nd wingsuit jump this past week, my Sabre2 felt like it went from packed to fully open in half a second. Saw stars and my tail wing.
  18. It was great to meet and jump with everyone I did. Big thanks to Jarno and Matthias for doing my FFC, and to them and Spot for coaching to make my first flights great.
  19. Olympus has rugged versions of their Stylus line of cameras that I've used in the past and can vouch for their waterproofness and ruggedness. The line is called Tough apparently: http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/cpg_digital.asp?section=tough
  20. Better the main risers be off, unlike the camera flier I know jumping a tiny Wings who's reserve risers had an inch or so difference from one side to the other. Guess how he found out, hint it wasn't on the ground during a repack.
  21. Enterprise I've had good luck with across the US. You a member of Costco, they sometimes have deals worked out with various rental car companies.
  22. Saw one at Sebastian during Invasion boogie over new years, it's a whole lotta wing.
  23. Is there a piece of folded over tape on the back of the rear risers? It's hard to tell from the pictures you included.
