    ooo purdy! if you dont mind me asking, how much is all that celtic stitchin' gonna cost you?

    No clue. I doubt however that I'll drop the bucks to get that. I really just want a comfortable and safe rig to jump. Colors are a lower priority.

    I suggest you go try on a rig with these options at your local DZ. You should be able to find one fairly easily since they are very common options, and standard on some rigs.

    The hip rings give you more flexibility in the rig at the leg strap junction and to me make the rig much more comfortable. I personnally don't like chest rings I think thats a few too many wear points and actually is to flexible. But that's personal preference.

    Cut in laterals make the harness conform more to your body and let the main container 'float' or set off the harness. The lateral harness to legstrap is geometry and position is no longer dictated by the corner of the container.

    I'll let someone chime in on cut in laterals and wing suits.


    OK, thanks! From the sound of it I'd probably like the hip rings but not the cut-in lats. Just a hunch though.

  4. It's been a long time since I bought a new container and there are a lot of new options to be had. My question is why or why not get a particular option?
    Such as;
    Hip rings
    Cut-in laterals

    I also have an interest in wingsuiting. Would any of these options be an advantage or disadvantage in wingsuiting?

    Thanks.

    Bummer-I clicked the thread expecting a first person account.



    There was a VERY loud noise, the Earth cooled, the fish grew feet and then the lawyers took over...Hell I was THERE! :D

  6. I liked Falling Skies. I thought it was the best show of the year. But I'm biased towards sci-fi.

    And as far as music goes, I'll take the Irish over the British any day. :)

    Pink Floyd, Learning to Fly - Just what I was going to say.

    I know it sounds a little mellow, but trust me understatements are a good thing sometimes. I picked that out for my first tandem video and it's just beautiful.....check it out, y'all!


    Learning to Fly is at the top of my list.

    Others include "Lunatic Fringe" from Red Rider
    "Beatin' the Odds" and "Flirtin' with Disaster" from Molly Hatchet

    Having a big ass party and watching the pack bring the Lombardi trophy home to the real title town!! :P The mood here in Wisconsin is nothing short of electric! I was lucky enough to spend all day at Lambeau Filed yesterday partying.

  25. As I recall my favorite dives were always the novelty dives, stuff like tubes and horny gorillas and such. Doing serious 4-way was a bummer when things didn't go right and a blast when they did. The competitive element seemed to be more trouble than it was worth.
    My motivation to come back to the sport was seeing wingsuiting and freeflying on youtube. It looked like the FUN had returned to the sport. Maybe turning points wasn't so important anymore.
    Once I finish my education and am gainfully employed again, look for me flocking or going head down and chasing tennis balls!! THAT is what I'll be doing! ;)
