  1. Ted and I will be there on Saturday The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid
  2. The Elements container is the same price as custom but can be ready in 2 weeks in most cases The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid
  3. Matt used to be good at what he did but then he moved to Texas which will make him a pot stirring worthless TWAT - if he follows suit with the rest of the Texicans The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid
  4. I still don't charge for instruction and most of the time not even suit rental - but it is understood that if you damage a suit you are respondsible --- the PFI/BMI/WSI/BMCI/PFIE.....................are all worthless little ratings that mean nothing. Now don't get me wrong I think someone wanting to learn to wingsuit should find very experienced wingsuit pilots to help them get started - it just makes it easier. If one were to charge I think the most that should be charged is for your seat on the plane --- what makes you think your so great that someone should pay for your pack job and other things --- you have a worthless ego rating and now you want others to pay you for it.............your getting a free jump If you want to make money skydiving do it off beginners who are learning to skydive not the ones who have already invested the time and money to learn to skydive...............ie do tandems I realize MOST of the wingsuit instructors don't have any type of real USPA rating which would allow that but maybe if you want to make money skydiving you need to persue a tandem rating (by all means don't get an AFF rating if you want to make money --- tandems are where the moneys at) The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid
  5. Jarno you are really gonna like California ---- maybe Jeff N. can take you to a few bars I hear he frequents The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid
  6. All the birdman suit prices you quoted were way off Blade 1200 euro S6 998 euro which makes the V2s price and performance your best buy The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid
  7. look at the cost of the upper end birdman suits these days --- The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid
  8. why not buy a V2 if your looking for V2 speed??? The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid
  9. Jump some smoke canisters --- you'll never notice it after that The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid
  10. it was a weak throw - it probably would have caught in his burble The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid
  11. Our program is totally different. We make the student put his/her head all the way out the plane instead of slightly -- it makes a major difference Once again I think 95% of DZs use that on 2 instructor jumps (out of an otter / caravan / cessna) King air exits are different and not in a good way in my opinion. I have been on AFF jumps where the reserve side instructor stays inside and it works for them just not my style when I am reserve - I perfer to 'block' the door The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid
  12. I knew there were tandems but I was not aware of the 2 no release dives --- that makes it sound better The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid
  13. I approach every AFF jump as I will be the only instructor there -- if you count on your partner and something happens to them you as an instructor should be able to handle the dive. I have stepped away from many 'meat bombs' because I was not sure I would be able to handle the fall rate on a level 3 and didn't want to leave my partner alone - on any AFF jump I do accept, I plan on being the only one there - if I have someone on the other side thats great. That being said the incident this came from no matter what type of program you have at your DZ (AFF) it would have been a single instructor dive. I personally don't like the program that is used at Spaceland as I am not a TI so I would have never jumped with the student and then be handed the student on a release dive flow not knowing what to expect -- I much perfer at least 1 non release dive before letting go. Spaceland program seems to work fine and this was an isolated incident that has nothing to do with the discussion of 1 or 2 instructors. If your an AFFI even with a lot of experience and say you have never been burned by a student your lying. That doesn't mean they went to cypres fire but just being behind the power curve happens - no one can see everything before it happens - students are there to make you work - you train on the ground and everything can look great but once you leave the plane it can go to shit in a hurry.

  14. I know who it is and in his defense he was on the load before and missed all the dirt dive - he flew that slot the entire dive -- it just wasn't the right slot I just like fuckin with the Flock U guys The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid
  15. I am not really sure who it is -- but I think its a Flock U guy The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid
  16. I was meaning that the camera flyer would either fly below the formation at the key or would fly in front to signal the key. I never meant everyone would have to look at the camera man -- the camera man would make himself visible to the formation at certain times The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid
  17. Blah - Blah - Blah 16 way is not really what I would call a bigway and it very easily could have been a 2 or 3 point skydive So close to being 'perfect' Which brings up a thought -- who keys the transition to the next point since no one can really see the entire formation --- does the camera man now become the key? The camera man then becomes a necessity instead of a luxury The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid
  18. Good call on that one The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid
  19. Don't ever ever ever question TWAT every man knows that TWAT is always right!!! The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid
  20. I believe you meant to say "something smells 'fishy' about them And Matt is a TWATeam member -- don't be jealous its about time the east and west coast flyers figured out where the best flying takes place.........Matt is just smarter then the rest of ya'll The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid
  21. I wanna see and I was on the jump -- i guess we have to wait The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid
  22. That must of been a Tony suit to get a glide ratio like that. I would also like to extend a thanks to the organizers. Chuck Blue really impressed me with his skills this year ....... I used to be able to out party him and still make the first load, but he has been practicing and I couldn't hang I think this event is first class and could only be better if the dates were moved slightly to make it more affordable --- ZFlock guys are awesome in helping out the out of towners with hospitality Thanks Voodew TWATeam member The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid
  23. Weather sucked most of the time but i was able to jump with the amazing Jeff N. in the impromptu distance challenge amazingly when everyone else pulled over the trees Jeff turned around and flew back to the DZ...............the amazing part of that was that we were told to pull if you got to the trees and everyone did at about 4k, Jeff turned and flew back to the DZ - the amazing part was that someone his age can't follow simple instructions--AMAZING The last couple of jumps before we left were very nice - it seems this year Scott Bland learned that if he puts his legs out, formations fly forward (no disrespect as Scott sets the most stable non washy base I have ever flown with) Have to give props to the video guys for making a point of not to shoot any video of Pink Mike - I have even heard he will be totally edited out of the entire video to come.....SWEET! Overall it was fun got to hang with old friends, met new ones and even hung with the Fuck U guys.....I mean the Flock U guys (they seem to be weird, I saw one rubbing man lotion on his face - sick!!!!) Regards Voodew one to the Texan Mexicans (name given by horrible english speaking foreigners) The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid
  24. I remember back in the day when the thread would have been locked and half of us banned for 2 weeks. I guess the mods figured out we were just havin' a little fun Isn't that right Chuck The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid
  25. What ever happened to Omar????? Does he still jump?? The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid
