  1. So i just bought a Tony Supermach and did my first jump on it this past weekend. I was curious of my total flight time after i got down so i went into the info section of my Vigil 2 and its telling me that on the last flight i had 2 seconds of freefall and my vertical speed was 44mph. Does the AAD deactiveate itself after the registered freefall is over? Once i saw that the AAD only registered those two seconds i was curious as to if i had a cutaway above that 1000ft mark would the AAD still fire even though it thinks the freefall ended a few minutes before that? Thanks in advance for the replys!

  2. It's time to start planning for the 2012 HOG FLOP Boogie!
    Mark your calendars for Thursday October 25th through Sunday October 28th.
    The SKYVAN is confirmed for the weekend! We'll have organizers for RW, freeflying and wingsuit flocking, and our annual Hog Flop competition. There will be nightly entertainment, and a Halloween costume party (with prizes, dinner and beer) on Saturday night.
    Call the DZ on 386 328 0606 to reserve one of our RV slots. As always, camping is free at Skydive Palatka.
    There's no increase for our boogie fee -- still only $25 ($15 for non-jumpers).

  3. The 170 was my own personal canopy, then i started jumping my friends 150 and i had to give it back. I have made my last 20 jumps on a demo 135 and feel confident i can fly it.The spot on my last jump was way off and i even had to land off DZ and i had to land in a tiny field next to a forest which further assured me that i could fly the canopy. I'll be loading this canopy at 1.2

  4. Thanks for the responses everyone! Yes i am a student and although i would love to buy a new suit, its not practical for my budget. Im looking at the GTi because i have heard its a good suit to learn on and pretty reasonably priced. I wont be ready to jump a wingsuit for a few more months but was curious on what price range i should be looking for so if one does pop up on DZ.com for the right price i can go ahead and pick one up.
    (PS I love my sabre1. Just sold my sabre1 170 and picked up a sabre1 135 :)


  5. I have tried searching for an average price of a used birdman gti but havent really come up with any answers. I also tried to look up the price of a new one when they were still being manufactured but couldnt find anything either. Lets just say its a suit with no damage and has 50-100 jumps on it. Any input is appreciated!
