  1. And there goes the plan of buying sabre1 out the door, thank you for sharing!
  2. I psychopack my safire2 in order to expose the centercell so I can shave off feets of the snivel, and I always dump in full flight... The mad thing is still snivelling to much for my taste Don't get me wrong it's a great and fun canopy to fly, but I'm definetly going for sabre 1 in nearest feature!!!
  3. haha nice, all thou exits looked a bit twitchy probably due to poor pressurization
  4. Cheers, your advice is deeply appreciated
  5. Quick question to those of you who have sprayed your wingsuit with "silicone spray" for impregnation - Does the silicone coat starts to "flass" off like on OP's wingsuit after a while? I'm planing to use this bad boy right here: http://www.kiwicare.com/kiwimcmssite/us/products/outdoor/campdry-heavy-duty-water-repellent.html , but kind of paranoid about the result Any thoughts?
  6. Sounds lot more easier then my way, think I'm gonna have to try it out, thanks. To justify my behavior I always waive off at around 5K while the rest of the guys continue on, because of what you are saying. And I'm not planning on getting closer to the ground in pulling moment until I figure it out. But I'll do the solo day next time I'll get the chance. Thanks for the replies guys, cheers
  7. Appreciate the advice, got some good PM's as well on that issue. Difficult to dedicate a day on soloflying once you start flying in groups, but I'm definitely seeing that it has to be done. Don't know yet. But it's made out of plastic, so I don't think it would be a problem. I'm guessing it is the simple way of doing it, and then I'm starting to believe that I'm over-engineered it quite by far. I've seen a couple of ways people have mount flysight's on and didn't felt for those, but non with velcro. Does it hold well? I mean helmets are not perfectly flat, do you get enough velcro surface to grip on?
  8. I've been owning my fly sight for a while now, and I guess I'm just been lazy to mount it on the helmet. So here the other day I've got a perfect idea for a housing. Heres what I did: At a local hardware store I bought a 400V contact, cut off the lid of the contact and had to grind off 3 places inside the lid so that fly sight would fit in. The result is tight fit with enough room for plugging in the speakers. The glue/silicon I'm going to use for placing it on the helmet is pretty strong hold (30kg/cm^2), and the spring on the lid is strong enough to withstand the airspeed (although I'm thinking to secure it with a rubber band just in case). The helmet I'm going to place it on is a factory diver, and the plan was to place it on the back of it. At this stage I'm starting having second thoughts on my "patent" since my body position at the deployment with a wingsuit is not consistent (1 out of 5 ends up in 5-6 line-twist, what a great view btw). The lid is about an inch in height and it is round, so I don't think the risers could snag on it. But I'm just curious if some of you who are flying with fly sights on the back of your head ever experience risers snagging on them? Cheers
  9. Mine 50 øre: Best slowest solo of all times made by pink floyd in the song dogs. Starting about at 3:33 building untill 6:47(not totaly solo but still priceless, genius) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlJWis5wH54 Best fastest solo of all times made by NOFX in the intro of the song "seeing double at the triple rock". As the most solos of El Hefe after he stopped getting wasted: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpieImv4JYE
  10. Alright, glad to hear that. See you there in a couple of weeks. Blues Alex
  11. Appreciate the advise guys. But I'm going to go with Lodi anyway, just to get in a bunch of jumps for rediclesly low price. And maybe take a trip around the area afterwards. Thanks Alex
  12. Hi there, and greetings from Norway. An easygoing person who dislikes drama planing to go to Lodi in July, and hoping to find some one to jump with in that time period. I currently have a B license and 120 jumps, most of them tracking and belly (Not to shabby in both of those disciplines). I can (try to) do some FF, but the quality varies from jump to jump =) I'll be in Lodi from the 12th to 30th of July, so if you are there and don't enjoying jumping by yourself please shout out and we'll figure something out. I'll bring the beer =) Blues Alex
