  1. Jumper was doing a demo into a high elevation landing area (4500+ feet) on September 29, 2006. He did a front riser turn followed by going to deep brakes to recover from the turn at a very low altitude. The jumper ended up impacting into the pavement at a

  3. The jumper was jumping from a Trike at an altitude of approx 5000 feet. He suffered a hard pull on his main and tried to pull his reserve at approx 150 feet. The reserve pilot chute cleared his back, but did not have time to open the reserve before he imp

    Investigation Pending

    Police investigation pending on this incident. Possibly a murder over an affair with another skydiver.

    Thank you..

    No. Funks is the only other owner. Yup, ddt is an owner. Funks we've been trying to get on board, with no luck. He's over-qualified for the job. Safe swoops Sangiro

  14. Then maybe I should make him a moderator here... Sure. You've got the cat by the tail. Phree doesn't moderate this forum. As a participant in these forums and someone with a keen interest in rigging and working towards his ticket he's more than welcome to offer his opinion here. And my final thought: Even if you actually did get it right, you would have been better off actually discussing the issue rather than challenging his credentials. Safe swoops Sangiro
  15. So you're a fan? Safe swoops Sangiro
  16. No he didn't get banned for being annoying. You should do a little homework. artistcalledian got banned a long time ago for acting like an ass (amongst other things). He's been back from time to time under another username - Siffler being the latest. Get yourself banned and you don't get back in, regardles of how many usernames you register afterwards and how you act under your 'new' identity. Be as annoying as you want, but be nice while you're at it and stick to the forum rules.
  17. So, good bye. Safe swoops Sangiro

  20. Jumper recently downsized his canopy from a 150 to the 138. On this jump there was no wind and the spot was directly over the DZ. After a normal freefall and opening the jumper began to carry out spiral turns and kept turning until below 1000 feet. He sto
  21. Jumper attempted to make a hard front riser turn way too low and struck the ground at about the same time his canopy did. He had recently started to do front riser turns after 200 jumps on this canopy.

  23. bigway, I've disabled this username. You're at risk of loosing your original username as well. Not worth it. Safe swoops Sangiro
  24. This has been beaten into the ground, and at this point your personal agenda is so obvious that it's hard to see past it to the actual points that you're trying to make. You and I have had our share of PM exchanges. You seem intent on going after individuals whom you have disagreements with rather than talking about BASE jumping. You made me a promise about how you plan to conduct yourself on here and on that basis we went forward. You've breached that trust many times now, and your time is running out here. This was the last time. Willem Grobler Safe swoops Sangiro
