I don't understand why anybody would try to understand Sangi scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

If you freeze the video at about the 29 second mark, you will notice that this is a downwind swoop based off of the flags. Anything will go "fast" and "far" on a downwind swoop without much effort. Edit to add: But I'm sure you already knew that, Sangi

Thats what I wonder everytime I see anything you post here Sangi JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

How come I keep hearing otherwise from so many people...? That is simple. Because none of them have ever flown one :) I am one of your 10 busiest distributors and here you are telling my customer I am full of shit. Gary, Help me understand where did I tell you, you are full of it? Well done! I ahve been trying to get Sangi to buy a pilot and giving him honest opinions of my experience on both the safire 2 and the pilot and you quickly jump in here and tell my customer i dont know what I am talking about and that I am full of shit. I give your company close to $100K a year and you are this quick to jump into a thread and make these comments to my customer, that I ahve never flown a Pilot and I have no idea what I am talking about. I made a post earlier to your comment going on about how nothing comes close to a pilot and i thought I would delete it. Now I come back to this thread and here you are still going on to my customer making them lose faith in what I am telling them. I am thoroughly disappointed that I just lost a $7000 sale because you have feel the need to tell my customer i have no idea what I am talking about. Yeah yeah, you didnt know, maybe you should consider what you are saying before you do? You really think I have never flown a pilot before even though i have sold hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of them for your company? Gary, First off, there is no single post I have ever made that mentions your name, stating that you are full of s**t. Second, I am simply replying to questions about our product. My comment to all those who say the Pilot is a bad canopy, and I will stand by it, they have either never flown one or are just bad canopy Pilots. This knowledge comes both from my personal experience, for I have flown the Safire, have survived a couple of Sabre jumps :) and have seen all types of semi elliptical canopies in action it past 2 years of the demo tour. That is why I feel comfortable telling people that in it's class Pilot is the best canopy, and you would not be selling them if you knew otherwise. There was no intention on my part to take away your customer. You should know that any sales that I contribute to personally end up going through one of the local distributors as the tour does not sell direct. We have had jumpers from down under, who demoed during our stops in the US, who we did send to you in the past, and we will in the future for as long as you are an active distributor and they ask for a store in Australia. To Sangi, I don't believe that number of jumps should matter that much. If you are planning on getting a Pilot, I am sure Gary will get you a great deal. If you do get one PM me and i will send you a Pilot tshirt :) Blues, Leszek

Good advice - the best way to decide is to demo them personally. BTW - Sangi there are no options for SPEED 2000 as an option or an X-Fast reserve. Both are low volume reserves and have been on the market for several years and are tried and tested designs and are available in large sizes now

Hi Sangi, IMO, not a good way to evaluate a piece of equipment. Look at the rig Craig O'Brien is wearing on Page 51 of Nov PARACHUTIST. It is a 'really worn and old' Infinity. Now look at the 'Post Your Infinity Thread,' see the differences? JerryBaumchen PS) I look really worn and old but I still got 'some' life left in me.

Customized Vigil, now that's a service.

I have to semi-backup Sangi on this one (shudders). It's BPA regs they're talking about. Or perhaps BPA vs EIREPA. I don't know... "That formation-stuff in freefall is just fun and games but with an open parachute it's starting to sound like, you know, an extreme sport." ~mom -

Sangi, i could understand your disappointment, but to us in Eloy and to us Judas, the Meow means a lot. Meow is kinda the battle call of the Eloy Crew, like Babylon have their Maou.It has the same origins, just for anglophone. It's for shure something the insiders will understand more. But it was just an idea to try to customize the messages. In the future Teams or Schools can order their Name or their call on the screen. It's just a little funny detail.

But Sangi, it's not a joke. You don't realize she is Tony's #1 test pilot. She is only wearing that suit to throw Robi off track. But now that Scotty has leaked her true identity to the public, I'm sure Robi will be heading to his super secret dungeon to produce an even better suit that is a joke so you will be even more disappointed. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

Yes, it is. Will you hold still while Sangi convinces me I'm wrong already? Johan. I am. I think. -
Different countries different rules.... Help needed
JohanW replied to skyfiend's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
No, it's not.. Yes it is, Ask Sangi ! OK. Sangi, please explain to me how learning to safely fly a wingsuit is really, really easy. (popcorn, anyone? ) OP, you get the point, I think. Johan. I am. I think. -

Massive congratulations to Elias for making his first wingsuit flight today! I know how he hates the spotlight, so Im here to give him a nod! I met Eli quite some time ago, and as he wil gladly tell everyone, straight of AFF, his sole wish was to fly a wingsuit. He has been lurking here quite a lot to read and learn, and made one or two posts where he felt he had something to add/say (sangi..read and learn). And talking to him, you could notice he lived and breathed wingsuit. Enthousiastic doesnt encapsulate this kid Dispite wanting to start way sooner than generaly recommended, and having some examples on doing so closeby, Eli followed the advice given to him, pushed on, and made a sh*tload of jumps to get some experience under his belt. And today, the waiting payd off, and Eli got to cruise the chilly skies over Hoevenen, Antwerp! His flight was textbook, doing a nice patern, dummy pulls and pull-sequence at the right altitude and in a good and relaxed style of flying. And performance-wise, also showing much promise after only one jump already Many long, safe and beautifull flights Eli! And welcome to the flock! Here are a few pix from today: gear up - exit - clouds - smile JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

Matt, great looking rig...I recently took delivery of my 5th racer, will own nothing else. Sangi, it was a misrouted rsl, not a bad design, TI did not release one side of the rsl to clear it. Miami

sangi. whole different thing... between filming a subject from some distance away,,, and Docking on that subject.. Better to be concentrating on the dive, accepting, that it CAN result in less than optimum 'framing'.. no big deal. we all saw KetiaO.. good work twardo.. it can take a few jumps to zero in... the camera... as for eyesight, i'd rather NOT have one... tried with and without, and having it, bothers me, and can be a snag concern.. Rather,,,,video with a natural relaxed head position and ADJUST the camera TO the helmet as needed, up/ down. right/left... to bring the subjects into center... especially for video..only. Of course use a helmet that doesn't dance around on your head,,,, AT ALL..... Ringsight, maybe... for spot on stills, or for still shots, taken while a lens is zoomed, to any extent. and that... only after substantial experience with skydiving camerawork. ... how i see it... jmy

I suspect that Sangi's point was that our attitude toward what is "safe" or at least a reasonable level of risk will change over time, not that we all develop a death wish. For example, my first canopy was a PD 9-cell 210. I was loading that at about 0.95:1. When I first started, I never used front risers as part of landing because diving at the ground and increasing my speed during landing was a more advanced and riskier move. I also said that I had no interest in swooping or high performance landings. As I gained skill and experience I started to experiment with double fronts. Today, I jump a Sabre2 150 loaded at about 1.36:1. I often do 90 or 180 front risers turns to land and find such landings fun. I'm no swoop jock just yet, nor is it on my immediate list of goals in the sport, but at the same time, I can see myself transitioning to a Katana at some point, downsizing further and perhaps one day even flying a cross-braced canopy.

I completely agree with you Sangi, but what about getting the helmet now and attaching the camera in 190+ jumps?
-
now, THAT might be a successful approach! and i'm mentioned with Sangi in the same sentence, i get an all warm and fuzzy feeling now..

1) we provide them all kind of coaching for free (actually we printout Virgin-Burner's posts for WS flying, Sangi's posts for BASE etc etc) 2)we bake them cakes and offer them our wives. seriously... we always have quite a lot of beer in the fridge, and it's free... The deal is, every once in a while, just put some full bottles in the fridge. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
