  3. Here is one I did using RaceRender. The video isn't as cool but I just wanted to play around with it. After I finalzed this I figured out a way to bring in custom data and display it so I could have put Altitude and GR into it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qtj8MPRHh6k You basically setup all of your inputs, in this case 2 video streams and a single GPS feed. Then the effort is aligning them all to start at the same time. Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month. Try before You Buy with Wicked Wingsuits - WingsuitRental.com
  4. We have to drive a lot because of our dog also. Be sure to plan your stops enough hours in advance to get a hotel that will accept dogs.

  5. ..and I should add. The people that this is designed for don't include in their top 10 questions "how much is it?". Also, the goal is to wingsuit BASE not to Wingsuit BASE Proxy. BIG difference!

  6. If your are serious you can contact us directly and we can discuss it. There are no guarantees that someone entering the program will one day BASE Wingsuit. They could fail a gate check at many points during the progression. Everyone that Wingsuit BASE jumps started with 0 jumps so we know it is possible, the journey and pace is normally determined by the individual. We are providing a focused road map with coaches for individuals that are able to give a 100% commitment for a period of time. The training doesn't just include the skydiving side of things but also the mental and outdoor skills. Not everyone that applies for the program will be admitted. It is similar to someone that sets a goal of climbing for Everest but has little big mountain experience. It is possible but not for the majority. The skeleton program is 3 months of full time commitment. I didn't talk to anyone yet that would be able to make that work. The few that have been seriously interested have since found other goals after just a few interviews. Most people don't appreciate the risks when they first fantasize about this stuff.

  7. I was landing a few weeks ago, center of the open LZ...winds were brisk but nothing to be afraid of. I had just touched down and turned around to see if anyone was coming in hot behind me when...the jumper landing 30 feet to my right had a collapse about 25 feet up. The thing just snapped then folded, it was nowhere near re-inflation when that guy hit the ground. Knocked the wind out of him but nothing broken...I walked back in with him. We could NOT figure out how it happened, no obstacles, no obvious thermals...I'd landed in essentially the same spot seconds before with no problem. Chalked it up to a ghost in the windstream...but it sure gets one thinking. Sounds like he got in your burble. Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month.

  8. Once you "own" a suit....once you feel naked if you don't have it on....once it is part of you...once you own the spot with it....you might be ready to upsize. Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month. Try before You Buy with Wicked Wingsuits - WingsuitRental.com
  9. Not sure I agree about the back flying. To me that's like saying to be on a serious belly jump you should have a good sit. No doubt it makes you better, but it isn't for everyone and it has safety issues. Respecting a good progression is as critical as it is in canopies. As we see over and over again that often goes out the window. Also, not everyone needs the goal of a huge suit. The bigger the suit the less you can actually do with it. I still think a good all around suit is an R-Bird/Ghost kind of size. Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month.

  11. It is a distraction and it could and will take your attention from a gear check that is more valuable. That should also mean you don't jump with a GPS and you don't jump with a iPod...no gadgets or additions that are a distraction. That is the real point. I had an experienced (800+) friend doing a specialty jump this weekend and the first advice was for him to leave the camera behind. He didn't even spend a second disagreeing because he knew why that advice was given. At the end of the day there is a BSR. If you don't agree with it and think that different cameras should be treated differently then you should make your case to the USPA. When you are on the ride to altitude with those glasses on is it going to cross your mind to check your handles or to clean the lense? Wickey Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4!

  12. Tall skinny guys really can rock a P*\T Bird plenty. Smaller is better for aero. Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month. Try before You Buy with Wicked Wingsuits - WingsuitRental.com
  13. If people take up wingsuiting then they can get better value for their money and the tax is negated. Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month. Try before You Buy with Wicked Wingsuits - WingsuitRental.com
  14. The easy way to find out is to fill out a form on our website. You would be surprised at some of the different body types fit in some of these suits but you do have both height and size! We have been known to get new sizes made based around a specific person. There normally ends up being someone else in the future that can use it. Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4!

  15. It isn't money well spent in my opinion. They are now unsupported from all I can tell and will be obsolete quickly. I don't regret getting mine but I wouldn't recommend anybody should buy them. I have found the peak speed to be useful for some very specific training. The G\R on the flysight beats them hands down and offers a lot more. I like that altitude is pressure based. When set correctly that is somewhat useful for preserving body position. Not the best reason to get a pair, if the N3A was reliable it would be a better option.

  16. I tried to send some feedback to Recon but they didn't seem interested one bit. That was the most disappointing part of spending money on the goggles. I was really hoping they would be more interested in this just being a first version of the hardware but I think they are on to bigger markets again.

  17. If you are going to only get 1 of these devices then go with the Flysight. It is much better designed for detailed analysis of performance and the tone is better suited for feedback I think. The best device would be something that combined both...plus a few more options. I do like the Recon for seeing speed and altitude without moving head position BUT I have also found some of the speed numbers to be misleading, not sure why. The use of an eye for Recon isn't as big a deal as some people are making out IF you use it on the right kind of flights. Leave it behind if you are going out on a flock.

  18. 72 turned up. The photos are slowly coming and the video is in the works. http://skwrl.smugmug.com/Skydiving/FandD9/28827074_VCP7tM#!i=2448775661&k=7fnrqQC Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month. Try before You Buy with Wicked Wingsuits - WingsuitRental.com
  19. I had a beyond awesome time. Just now getting back to fully capacity! Can't put it into words to be honest. Thanks to the DZ staff, to all the organizers and especially to those that turned up for the fun. I am sending out a survey to get some feedback..keep an eye out for it.
  20. It's great for some specific uses. Few audibles allow a setting above 9999. High altitude beeps are great on big ways and wingsuit competitions. I am over the moon about it.

  21. Have you jumped it? I heard that some people that have tried this are having issues seeing the screen if the sun is out. The goggles put it in the dark. Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month. Try before You Buy with Wicked Wingsuits - WingsuitRental.com
