OK here it goes---wish it was planned but we had a very new maybe 4 flights who was to set base - she didn't turn left 90 soon enough so as the base was still on line of flight as the others were heading to join the flock thinking it was heading the opposite direction. This was not a stunt it was a close call which changed how all of the other flocks were planned for the rest of the weekend. 1st off high speed passes out of the van are not the best exit procedure for bigger flocks due to seperation caused by everyone trying to pop above the plane. This seperation causes others to not be so aware of direction of the intended base which can lead to near head on collisions. Luckily everyone was ok and Perry was able to fold up and shoot through the gap -- it made for a cool but scary fly by. I would never even with the best of flyers try to duplicate this again - I was wigged out a little by the way the whole thing happened. I would estimate the cloing speed to be near 175mph -thats a guess- which misjudging by inches 2 seconds out could spell a double fatality. I posted the video as requested for the purpose of showing how fast closing speeds could be with wingsuits - I was shocked it took so long for someone to step up to the plate and say how dangerous it could be. The video is awesome in some aspects but an extremely close call on all levels The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid

The high speed pass was the only cool part the rest was just to use up the song---I am not the artist type more of the jackass type -- I bet nobody wants to argue that The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid

Heres a cool video of a high speed pass at Skyfest - it was all planned out http://www.skydivingmovies.com/ver2/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=2464 Thought it was fitting due to all the talk and recent incidents about wingsuit freefall collisions The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid

My jaw still hurts a little - but it was fun - sorry about that cheap shot to your junk and I finally figured out why the flight pattern is -exit - turn left -turn left Its is because all you nascar North Carolina rednecks don't know how to turn right

I will put up some video clips and some pics in a few days----overall the smaller flocks were getting better and the larger ones were a little zoomy. The weather was killing us but it was still a good time As soon as I get my laptop back and have a few minutes I will post some highlights The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid

well its over now --- We made a few jumps -- I got hit square in the face by Chuck we than rolled around in the mud got up got drunk. For and old guy he was able to stay up pretty late but me and the Professor had to put him to bed--- Mr Cocktaillo can't hang!!!!!! I believe I remember him asking for his blanky and some Centrum Silver and not being seen again. It was only 4:00am ---- Professor and I drank a few more and were on the 9:00 am load -- but thats how we DO BUSINESS!!!! Prodigy --- Got some really nice 150' over the tail exits out of the skyvan -- some good smaller way flocks and some cluster bigger way flocks. Also got 1 wicked flyby video all of which will be posted when I get my laptop back from the professor. Now I must go wash all my shit as it is covered with HELL "thats Houston mud -- no just Houston in general" What retard decided to build a giant city in a swamp with mosquitos the size of buzzards This is not meant as a shot towards Skydive Spaceland as Steve was mud boggin his planes and we kept jumping - facilities are the best in Texas Thanks to Perry, BJ and Paul for helping out with the organizing Maybe next year the weather won't suck -people will show and Katie will actually put a wingsuit on

renamed ---- mudfest 05 ----great times new friends and a decent amount of flyin The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid

Minds need to be opened there is titanium (fuck they even use that shit in golf balls and look how far they fly) uranium is another good product - the suit that glows but really goes And many others, every manufacture is just to caught up in the carbonfuckingfiber fad -- we need to find other precious materials to use. Just in the last 4 weeks the price of Carbonfuckingfiber has doubled, soon we won't be able to afford these new suits Edit to add: "the suit that glows but really glows" is a trademark of Handtocock Productions and not be used without written permission---oh and a hand shake

It would be good to know what type of canopy and what is the average wing loading. Where I teach we use Solo mains which are designed to be almost impossible to stall when lightly loaded (Skymasters are the same also) therefore you can flare the student higher if they have been sluggish on other actions without the worry of stall if their reaction times get faster on landing. I know of other DZs using Saber2's where a stall is more prevelant. Just my thoughts The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid

Wingsuit flying has been known to cause the male 'member' to grow at great lenghts while flying and than retract quickly during the opening sequence. I would go out on a limb here and say you Veter were slapped by your 'peter'!!!! It happens to me all the time PS-- I know I have left myself wide open here so bring it!!!!!!!! And I haven't flown a prodigy yet but this weekend we will see ---- So i have no real info The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid

They come standard on the Icon and almost every rig on the markey now --- I do believe not to long ago there were pics posted of the Icon risers if you were to search the site you should be able to find it.

with 27 jumps you should bring at least 1 case per weekend until you have 100 jumps. You will do something for the first time every weekend. After jump 100 bring 2 cases every other weekend until 500 jumps --- then make excuses for why not to bring beer and point out to the newbies they owe beer - and for God sake be creative when making up the bullshit The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid
