dave, interesting comment...thanks for the food for thought. at what Wingloading would your decision making tree begin to change?

Thats some legal mumbo jumbo, I can honestly say I've listened closely to every DZ briefing I've been given at new DZs by experienced jumpers. Thats a closer analogy even though the mediums are different (paper to talking). Most waivers are presented in my experience like "this is something we have to do for legal reasons here ya go..." They are not presented to skydivers as educational material like a USPA wingsuit textbook would be.

Thats exactly what I thought from the beginning. The USPA should group/organize the data and then distribute it to members and experienced wingsuiters so everybody can be working from the same 'textbook'. Information not rules

I don't need the other features of flysight necessarily, plus the price tag is prohibitive for me, I can't really see spending that much money on a GPS logger... I'll check out the photomate closer, thanks!

worked for my safire2 that took 800' to open! also if it is sniveling with the slider up for awhile a gentle pull on the rear risers can help tremendously.

sweet!!!

beuller??

holy.fucking.shit.

I think you are probably right about it being an OK deal, but the question the OP asked was how could this be a scam and my answer was the way it could be. Paypal is very easy to abuse if you know how it works. A way to get around this by the way is to wait for the funds to securely transfer, this is beyond the initial transfer, which is unsecured if the sender is unsecured with paypal.

He is probably hoping to get the canopy picked up during the intermin time that the funds are transferred but not secured. After the pickup the funds source will be severed with paypal upon which the funds will not be securely transferred and your bank will owe the funds to paypal, which you will pay.

It is 1hz which means 1 record/second (right?). Would this be sufficient for recording my flight or would I need to find a 5hz logger??? Thanks!

ouch that fine hurts

ouch man at least you had an angel smiley so reading your post left me with a warm and fuzzy feeling

nobody can save me

so would Zhills be a good place to head down thanksgiving week to get in loads of flocking?

You must be a very cool dude to: a) smoke drugs b) use street slang for (a) yes my mother and girlfriend both tell me I am very "special"

yes because tandem skydives are predictable and always occur exactly the same at a specific and predictable set opening altitude oh yes but carry on with talking about the crossbraced canopy no need to talk about an obvious safety error somebody made

what if they had a premature?

what if they had a premature?

Gee...never met one of THOSE at the DZ! None of had any head noises in the 70's.....right. Sparky hahah to both ya sidenote someday I'd really love to blaze a doob with you twardo

its funny you mention jeb corliss as a success driven example in comparison to this youtube guy since he started base jumping because he was an unstable young man that deep down wanted to die.

track like your life depends on it if you get better at tracking than everybody you jump with then it won't matter if one of them decides to be stupid and track the same direction as you.

each cypres unit may serve multiple people so its probably much less than 1/50. I just bought a 11 year old cypres, I doubt I am the only skydiver that has used it

ok maybe do-able but is that typical? I certainly don't think so. But i've never been to a dz that flies more than two turbines so what do I know (as diablopilot pointed out ).

correct me if I am wrong but it is a phenomenon that occurs when you are situated between something solid and the sun. I have seen this "shadow" once.
