NECK GAITER FO SHO. kEEP THE NECK AND WRISTS WARM AND THE REST WILL FOLLOW. I like my leather motorcycle gloves for dexterity... Dressing in light layers is crucial as well. I ride my motorbike all year here in PA with no problems. The only issue I had was keeping my hands warm even with heated grips. Mittens are are the key. Not recommended for jumping!

I'll echo what Joe said, you are comparing two different wings, by two different companies. My last flight was a two way with me in my ATC and Max in his Hunter. We had no problem flying in control and close the whole flight but Max did state that he had difficulty matching speeds with me. The ATC (baby FREAK) is a suit that likes to go fast. You may consider flying an ATC, despite what Squirrel says, it doesn't play nice with really small suits!

GREAT operation. Plan on getting with an organized load/event for the most bang for your buck. They also will take you to 8000+ Bird In Hand, PA (Lancaster) region.

The dealer I used offered 10% off the listed price AND five more % for cash... Shop around.

I'll echo the sentiment from Billy and Joe, "WE" are 100% on board with the python problem, THEY ALL NEED TO GO. In case you haven't figured it out, I champion ALL animals with reptiles high on that list. That being said I would personally kill any and all pythons i happen upon in FL. The moral of the story is: There are FAR too many uneducated people(no name calling) who think its appropriate OR justified in killing snakes(native species)... End of rant.

Billy Vance, your my fucking HERO!

There is no way in hell I'd leave an unsupervised snake alone in the car. You just know he would find a way to lace himself into all the wiring up under the dash which would require major disassembly to get him out. its stuffed!!! But yes, a very bad idea none the less!

I had a group of Koreans turn up at my DZ for a couple of weeks a few years ago. It turns out they were military, and by their demeanour, were special forces. They were very insular, wouldn't mix with us or join in with anything. Came across as pretty ruthless, and the guy in charge was a real mean bugger....definitely would not want to cross him and meet n a dark alley.... On their last night they finally joined us in the bar, and when I showed them a string trick with a pull up cord, he insisted on going first to solve it. Of course he couldn't, and got very sour about it. When one of his underlings solved it he got really nasty....That's when I realised he'd lost "face" in front of his men. I would not have liked to be in the boots of the guy who solved it, because you could see he was going to be punished. A very unpleasant individual, I was quite glad they never came back. If the bunch at Elsinore are cut from the same cloth, I definitely wouldn't throw a civilian in with them. HAHA, they are cut from a different cloth for sure. I spent a year in Korea and the entire ROCK Army is a very formidable force!

So what's the trick, did they angle the camera down so it looks like they're flying upwards?

I know a Korean/american instructor if that helps. I can put you in contact with...

youtube is your friend. There are many great packing videos. Patience is key and of course good technique and PRACTICE! Controlling the fabric is important. Perhaps flat packing? I had a hard time packing my first rig as well but when I learned to jump I was taught the flat method and never had any trouble...food for thought. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JiAegc8EOw -
Because KARMA, that's why. Killing animals out of fear and being uneducated is WRONG. The animal wants nothing to do with you, it wants and has just as much right to live as you and I. Soooooo, just leave snakes alone and if they do happen into your house or property find someone with a conscious to relocate it. PEACE out.

I envisioned that in my head. I'm now under my desk, in a fetal position, weeping. Point taken. Sooooo, BG, come join the flock bro, what are you waiting for??? Not afraid of a few line twists are ya?!?! lol But seriously hook up with the right instructors and taste some hang time. And about that "stunt" video in question, now that you know who the stunt man is, yea, THAT'S shit only people with an ass load of WS jumps do, because you know, there comfort level is there! Last year I made a snide remark about wing suiting to a FF coach who I really respect and he basically said that the parts of angle flying that I really love, can be amplified in a small wing suit and that I'd love it. So I went from never going to wing suit to going to wing suit, someday, somewhere. But I don't want to dabble in anything I like to learn it slowly and completely and I don't have that time now. But soon...also sometimes I look at puffy clouds and get jeoulous as fuck of you guys. Yea, I had a cloud jump in Deland that would make you jizz in your pants!

HEY, someone with something constructive to say! I guess what I'm saying is that some people naturally come off douchy while banging away on the keyboard... Positivity!!! How about that FLARE, right?!?! lol The Squirrel guys are getting things dialed in pretty nice with the current fleet.

Did my first couple jumps on this beast yesterday and it is just that! It likes to go fast/steep. YES it flares well. I was flying with a swift2 and had no problem dusting him with forward speed and the ability to gain altitude... Pretty fucking happy. to echo another fliers thoughts on the matter, it really does come down to who/what other suits you plan to fly with AND your experience level.

The smile on my face, knowing mine arrives tomorrow is HUGE!!! I'm currently flying the Funk1 and a C-Race, so i truly needed something to "bridge the gap". STOKED

Touche! This has ZERO to do with how big anyones balls are, this is a community/family and what your asking of us is, well wrong. Good luck out there.

The irony meter is pegged. What you call irony, I call salvation. I assume that is what your were referring to. Or, from Firesign Theatre: "I used to be all messed up on dope. Now I'm all fucked up on The Lord!" I always get a good chuckle when The Thumper chimes in!!!
