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

Doing tandems vs. NO skydives
jimmytavino replied to ocb217's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
sangi..... buddy i love ya' and you're a good example of the wonder that IS DZ dot com.... we live in a wild and widely diverse world... and this site connects us,, from the Americas, to Europe, from east to west, and to well below the equator to the great amazement that is Australia..AND S.Africa...(cheers peej ) Variety is abundant and differing opinions are many.... You ask "why should a 20 year old do what the Mother stipulates"??? hahah i am gettin' into my late 50's and i still DO what my Mom asks... especially if it is a sensible request.. BUt you're correct, in that i may NOT have been so quick to comply decades ago, when i WAS in my 20's.. Funny how time and life's journey, changes how we think about things... As others have noted, your posts are telling, can be "strongly opinionated" which is neither here nor there. I guess what matters is,, you're free to express those ideas, right or wrong, for or against....here on this site... amazing thing , the internet... thanks all ,,, for the fun and vigorous dialogue, here in the forums.. it's why i check in, from time to time. skydive safely, skydive often, skydive with friends jmy -
Sangi, I'm curious as to how old you are? Many of your post on this website make you sound like you are about 15 or 16 years old. Not just this thread but many others.

Perhaps MTV could start a new reality show: Sangi knows best Seriously though, I don't think it is such a bad thing for parents to set conditions for their monetary support. I may not agree with them, but it is the parent's right to exert some control over the child's life until the child is completely sef-sufficient. OP, you're doing the right thing not to lie to your mom. If you went and skydived behind her back, you'd seriously jeapardise the relationship with your mother. In my eyes, you'd also prove that you're not an adult yet. Anyone who wants their parents to stay out of their affairs should not take their parents money. Who knows, showing that you can abide to the conditions your mother set you might even help your mother relaxing the condtions of the money grant - in time. For the record; I'm 29 and no, I do not have children.

Sangi, I think this is a case of: You don't even know how much you don't know. I'm not talking about skydiving... I'm talking about life. A close and loving family is worth far more than all the gold in Fort Knox, and certainly more than all the skydiving jumps you could ever make. Having the trust of those you love is priceless. It would be foolish to risk that. Unfortunetely, it seems as though you don't understand this. And for that... I feel very very sorry for you. I hope that someday, before it's too late, you'll understand what I'm talking about. It took me a few decades to fully understand. I hope you'll at least give it some thought.

Yeah....soft landings? How do you do it?
JohnDeere replied to shah269's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
Wow can you read? His post was not even directed at you! Btw you have no clue about what he was even jumping so dont sit here and ask stupid ass questions about how he can hurt his self under a big student canopy. Troll on Sangi! Nothing opens like a Deere! You ignorant fool! Checks are for workers! -

obviously you dont follow Sangi' posts much.. altough he's seemingly a nice dude, he's even more so an expert on canopy-piloting, wingsuiting and apparently, and most annoying, at BASEjumping.. its quite understandable that people do get ANNOYED with his nonexistent knowledge, yet, he doesnt miss a chance to ask not so clever questions and give (rather poor) advice.. oh, and while your extreme skills at extreme sports might be valuable in those specific sports, mostly nothing translates into skydiving.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

matto765 replied to shah269's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
Yes, it does. By the way, nice pro-tec. You'll probably need it someday, since you obviously don't understand one thing about canopy flight, and more importantly, how people get hurt under canopy. Edit to Add: You know what Sangi, I will actually enlighten you. Not to actually help you to prevent you from hurting yourself, but to show you how stupid you sound everytime you post something without thinking first. There are many ways to have hard landings under a student canopy. The most popular ways to do it are to put yourself in with a low toggle turn, flare too high, flare too low/no flare, and severe turbulence. If you don't believe me, go out and grab a student rig and try to do all three. If you are still around after that, let me know and I will give you a prize. It doesn't matter how big or small your canopy is. If you don't set up or flare properly, you can severly hurt yourself. But, you probably already knew that, you dumbass 100 jump wonder. -

Sangi, proximity flying is quite often done with a suit de-tuned - so if you find yourself a bit low, you have the ability to "pull up" and not impact. Flying at the edge of the performance envelope is suicidal in many of the proximity fylygin sites. so proximity flying is quite NOT the way to find the suits best performance. sorry dude, you loose. stop writing your nonsense..

Could you post a scale or maybe a graph or a some type of way that we can determine what level retarded is? I mean, I'm a little unclear. Is it like bang your head incessantly against the wall retarded or is it savant autism retarded? A graph or scale? LMFAO even a retard knows if they are retarded so what I am wondering at this point is why they ever let you jump out of a plane, or out of the womb for that matter. I cant figure out which is more hilarious. The video, or this assholes inability to process information. Its as is he is the dumb ass hat that made the video in the first place and is now embarrased that somebody didnt like it. A word of advice to you sir, I recommend you start over in grade school.... pay attention to your surroundings and other people, and dont ask another question until you have the slightest bit of common sense. At least enough to understand the word retarded. This thread smells so awful because all that is pouring out of your mouth is shit...... good video btw and hi, im skydiverbob Wow, Bob, It took you almost - what 15 minutes after you created your account to mull over spell check and thesaurus your way to almost three whole paragraphs. I would suggest you spend a few minutes in the Introduction and Greets" forum so you can get used to posting in this format. OH Wait - It looks like you are familiar . . . SO - you can quit hiding behind your little "Kittycat" false identity and stand up for yourself without cowering behind a psuedonym . . . (of a psuedonym?). In other words, dont be a coward, say what you mean without being so scared for people to know who it really is that is saying it. Think you can do that? No? Awwe, come on Bobby poo, give it a go, use your real screen name. OR - you could be a good little boy and do what I said, like you should, and post a graph depicting the level of retarded that, (oh yeah - that wasn't even you I was responding to) Sangi referred to in her post. Think you could handle that? NO - Too big a job for you? Figured. The only "Shit" that is smelling here is your attitude toward the mentally challeged, don't you think? I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun

Sangi. I read this book once where this guy was writing about truth. People get all wrapped up in the search for it, then it shows up and says "Hi, I'm the truth" and the people searching say "Go away, I'm looking for the truth" and so it goes away. Theres a reason we call wingsuits "nylon crack." There is a particular feeling of flight you are looking for. Sometime as soon as youve flown wingsuits enough to be able to surf any cloud in range at will, something like this'll happen to you. Jump story: We had, what, a 4-way I think. 5. Me, Joner, Skwrl and Ron, plus Rick on camera if I remember right. Joner and I and probably Skwrl had our cameras as well just for the hell of it. The surf was looking good so we had something of a dual dive plan. Rons new and just wanted to work on getting to and staying with the group. Joner wanted to try a bit of backflying in the first half. Skwrl didn't seem to want to do anything in particular except surf whatever cloud we could bag. Being senior bird on this flight navigation and getting us to a good surfable puffy if any were in range was my job. Pick us a good puffy, they said. Joner told me if I buzz his field of view during the cloud surf he'll try to get a good shot of me surfing it. You never know what the sight pictures gonna read like until you actually get to the door. And although the wingsuit will let you fly a straight line shot several miles back to the DZ if you wait too long in the door, you don't have all day to pick your surf. You have to step to the door, eyeball the important cubic miles of space you know you can reach, visualize what flight path will get you to a ramp shaped cloud surface, and how to get there. You got to try to be considerate of the other birds and pick one you know is in range for everybody, if they don't all fly megasuits they might not be able to get there. Its bad form to pick a cloud you know you can reach and ditch the other birds to go get it. Unless you're near breakoff in which case anything goes. Sometimes me and my hardcore surfing brothers do it anyway. Cause sometimes, that cloud is just way too tempting. There are often these incredible surfable valleys, canyons and caves, holes and ragged paths, inside of clouds that you can't see until you turn a corner and actually fly right up to it. Regular skydivers fall right past it. With a wingsuit, you can duck inside and go adventuring. This time, I got to the door and got a pretty good sight picture. We were already about a mile or so upwind. Sparse cloud deck at about 4, going up as high as maybe 5.5 to 6. The biggest cloud within reach was also the perfect distance upwind and dead center on the wind line. It had a perfectly ramp-shaped surface pointing straight back to the DZ. We could surf it, come off the bottom at 4 and almost any altitude any of these guys pull at will be an easy shot home. Bottom of the ramp was maybe 2 miles upwind and by the time we reach it, it'll be more like a mile and a half. It'll look like we're a bit far out at low altitude when we get there, but we'll cover the distance in seconds and it'll put the newer birds exactly where I want em in the sky at the end of the flight with almost zero risk of landing out. I hate leading a flight to a marginal spot. I feel like such a dink. Got to the door, looked at the picture, got the birds' attention, pointed at the cloud, made a sweeping circle gesture leading from our exit to the top center of the chosen puffy to indicate the flight path I had in mind, and exited. One of the better flights of the season. If the exact details matter, I recall Joner backflying under in a couple of rolls, I think I flew over to Skwrl for a bit just to say hi and see how he was doin', do a dock or two while I was at it. Made first turn and split my attention between Skwrl on my right and Ron below and back a ways. Noticed we'd burned off a little over half the descent necessary to reach our puffy and that we were gonna have to make our next turn soon if we were gonna hit it. I can't remember if I docked on Skwrl and turned him 90 to point us at the cloud or if that was another flight, or just turned and went for it or what. Coming up on the surface I remembered Joner wanted to get a surf shot so I looked at where he was and it all lined up... if I was gonna hit the surf just right I was going to have to sacrifice altitude anyway, and I LOVE a good steep plummet-dive. Flying down the ramp of that cloud was about as glorious an experience as anyone with a love of flying would expect. The airport dead ahead but a long way out, a distance we'll cover in seconds. A big, wide open rampy flight surface just below us, leading right to it. I threw my wings back and dived for it. Reached the surface of it, popped the wings to max and turned all the speed I'd picked up in the dive into lift and forward speed. Totally ruined the shot, so much for looking cool on camera. Ask me if I give a damn. Combined with every low fallrate ninja trick I know done all at once, the carving dive turned into a planeout that delivered the brief vertigo-stomach feeling you get that makes you think your fallrate mighta hit zero for a second or two, there. It made me disappear up and out of the video. Oh well. I was too busy flying to care. Came off the bottom of the cloud doing 100+ forward and just kept going. Looking around I was aware of the other birds deploying behind me but focused mainly on trying to fly as perfectly as I could to go as far as possible and get every bit of speed and time out of it as I can. Theres a "fast" sweet spot in flying where you're going as fast as you can with as much wing area out as you can. Any more and it'll slow you down, costing you lift and time, any less and you'll sacrifice needless fallrate and not get any speed out of it in exchange, and you're wasting it. I can't really tell you how to do it, but I can tell you that you have to point your toes really hard back, make yourself long and skinny and stick your neck as far forward as you can to find it. Anyway I sure found it on that jump, covered the remaining distance back to the DZ in less time than it takes to tell it, pulled at about 2, couple quick spirals and landed. Sure felt like flying to me. You gonna tell me it wasn't? Accept the fact that you can't go up, then enjoy the flight. There are limits on how far you can fly. And its a pain in the ass having to borrow someone else's plane every time you wanna be up there. Deal with it. If you could fly like superman anytime at will, what are you gonna do, fly to Albuquerque? With what luggage? If you could do it all the time as casual as walking, it'd take all the magic and joy out of it. Trust me on this. My dropzone is actually within flying distance to the factory at which I work, barely, if I asked for a really long spot in a weird direction. I could fly to work if I really wanted to. If the wind direction was right. Somehow, if I ever did it, I'm pretty sure it'd feel fairly ordinary except for being embarassed at having arrived in such a needlessly flashy fashion that I'm going to have to explain somehow to my employers, and without my toolbag. -B Live and learn... or die, and teach by example.

Sangi at first I thought you were just trolling. I've read your comments on here and other forums and it seemed you were just being a negative asshole so you could get a response. I will assume that I was wrong and give you a real answer to this. I remember some flying dreams that started by me just lifting off like a helium balloon. Wingsuit flying is nothing like that. The ones where I was really flying though, I have to say were really a pale comparison to the real thing, and I assure you that this is the real thing. I hardly notice that I'm losing altitude because the sensation is so much forward rather than down. Compared to the old Superman show, this is so free and agile! It's better than I imagined. Watching the ground passing by under you as you travel for miles is just amazing! You zoom where you want and go like the wind. Believe me, when you get to flying it will be better than you can imagine. Yep, it's flying. You'll see. One more thought I had about this is how would you react to someone saying to you, "I've never had sex but It's sure not all it's cracked up to be." Uh Huh. I hope you stick with it and get to see what I mean. After that please let me know what you think. And don't forget to SMILE!

zarkon, thanks. i'll check out that link. sangi- i know, hard for me to believe, too, that i'd never seen anyone skydive...but yea, i had no idea what i was getting into until i actually rode up in that plane. and you're right, who cares if i'm obsessed with this. and, finally, jumping is all i have on my mind right now. i'm having a hard time shutting up about it, but i'll definitely be jumping just as soon as i can get down there. the dz is 2 1/2 hours away. Jennifer don't ask yourself what the world needs, ask yourself what makes you come alive. and then go do that, because what the world needs is people that come alive. -
You been BASE jumping a lot lately Sangi ? Or perhaps hanging around BASE jumpers? Or are you just referring to the shiny welcome mat you get everytime you post on basejumper.com ?

Maybe you're right, I don't know Sangi, but when he has no arguments, maybe you have some more. I don't know if Vector is the best rig on the market, but it is sure a good one. Like the mirage and others. The new features from UPT look very interesting. BASIK has a very interesting concept too and forward-looking features/design. Is it the most advanced on the market? I don't know.
