Pull test on Raven reserve
wasatchrider replied to zcohen13's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Really? Then my old Cypres should still be good, because I don't remember the 12 year life being advertised when I bought it. Yes it will still work. If you don't want it send it to me I'll use it I always wanted one of those things. I'll pay shipping I'm serious BASE 1519 -
You don't need a bunch of hop and pops or jumps for that matter. You need a book with a bunch of markings on it or a dz that won't say anything when you put on your pretty dress but it's beside the point. Carry on BASE 1519

the problem isn't that the wing suiters can fly where they want we could land off 5 miles off each jump if wanted but we fly back the dz which is where the tandems seem to be hanging out. It is fun flying past them but its just a bonus more for them and the passengers this stupid rule does not really bug me. BASE 1519

So if you ever put on a wing suit and you see a canopy you would just pull? Even if you are at 4500 feet and you have airspace to clear with canopy traffic. Yes rules are built for common sense. Rules are built for you BASE 1519

Can anyone tell me who made this wingsuit and what is it?
wasatchrider replied to aOwl's topic in Wing Suit Flying
that's mine give it back! BASE 1519 -
do you swoop? are you wanting to learn to swoop? If you answer no to both of those questions why would you want a faster canopy anyways if yes to answer one go with the 120 if yes to answer two go with the 135 BASE 1519

The "45 degree rule" for exit separation DOES NOT WORK
wasatchrider replied to kallend's topic in Safety and Training
I was just at a boogie and I heard an older jumper tell the guy next to him to jump out when the jumper before him was 45 degrees away from the plane. I laughed out loud. BASE 1519 -
they fazed out and then came back with models like pf from 5 years ago so they are not really making a comeback BASE 1519

How do I explain the differences in freefall rates?
wasatchrider replied to bdenny20's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
not everything has the same terminal velocity try dropping a bowling ball and a feather off a bridge and see what hits first weight as well as drag effect fall rate BASE 1519 -
Ill never give up my sabre 1 BASE 1519

Squirrel WS - Harness abrasion from the zippers?
wasatchrider replied to mxk's topic in Wing Suit Flying
I flew one and would agree. back to original poster anytime zippers rub on the lift web it will wear. I put a 150 jumps on my suit and it is showing minor abrasion. If it bugs you use duct tape, electrical tape or whatever you want to protect the zippers from rubbing. BASE 1519 -

Squirrel WS - Harness abrasion from the zippers?
wasatchrider replied to mxk's topic in Wing Suit Flying
You really think you're funny, don't you... Those tiring brand wars are already annoying on a normal level.. you are taking this even one step further. Congratulations oh, i am, unlike others. my post is clearly satire, while others put out numbers they pulled out of their asses and state them as facts. if you cant see the difference, may god help to save your soul. however, yes, escalating things is one of the few things i'm really good at. i'm generally a fun-loving dude that doesnt see things as strict as others. oh, and i really like jumping the gear i own. the choice of it is mine. if you're happy with your gear, great, lets have some fun jumps together. nothing else really matters. -
Squirrel WS - Harness abrasion from the zippers?
wasatchrider replied to mxk's topic in Wing Suit Flying
from my perspective that is a skydive suit I would not base jump with it but in my aura I have no problems getting to my toggles I have never unzipped in it. BASE 1519 -

Squirrel WS - Harness abrasion from the zippers?
wasatchrider replied to mxk's topic in Wing Suit Flying
Pf is probably great for skydivers, squirrel is more built around the base and mountain objective. It shows and is evident when you see they have probably 80% of the suits being used on the mountains. Just the idea of having to unzip to get to your toggles scares me. BASE 1519 -
don't hit the tail and pull.... that's about it BASE 1519
