Big Way Camp. Perris 11-14 December
dgskydive replied to katecooper's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
One day grasshopper, one day. You will be back in the air. If Mike Muscat can keep jumping after all the stuff he has done to his body. You can come back to. You just did all your damage in one shot. It took Mike years to gimp himself. So you should have no worries! Dom -

Yahoo! Val is coming to play at Perris again! See how much it is to fly into Ontario. I don't know the price difference but it might be worth it. If not I am sure we could find someone to pick you up. Dom -
Congratulations again Rosa. Glad you had a good time. Nice to see you at Perris. See I told you it is a nice place! Dom
-
Send to Jay Leno! I bet it gets on the show. Dom

ME thinks you are a bit of an exhibitionist! Me likes! I think the really interesting thing is the results of the pole! I would have thought it would be the other way around. I like em home grown as well. Dom

It's been a few months! God, it feels like years. Thanks for reminding me! Dom

***Yeah, it's a little humid, but I've been in worse and the only real issues were punching clou . . ., er, um, heavy industrial haze. __________________________________________________ Hate when that happens! Dom
-
LOL! OK I will make sure the pool doesn't eat you! I never pie anyone because I don't want it done to me. The whip cream smells like baby puke, or rotten milk after a few minutes. Dom

Very good series of shots and very helpful. Although I hope I don't have to jump anymore 182's as long as I live. BTW that is two cases of beer he owes, it was also the 1st time he jumped your wingsuit! Dom

***What I meant was that you dearch by dropping your knees down a bit, not relaxing them up on your butt. ________________________________________________ Are you talking about the S3 when you say that or in general? My first (and only jump so far) on the S3 I started to get into a spin when I really tried to max it out. I fixed it and got back in control very quick, but since it the only jump I have done with it I really don't know what the "thing" was that took care of it. I remembered reading that if you got into a flat spin you could get out of it by balling up. Didn't get that far, but by relaxing just a bit I was able to get back in control. It felt kind of cool actually. Kind of like sliding on ice. Dom

What Altiude do you guys get out at? Dom
-
Wow! Didn't JP seem all professional when he said that!? Now if we could only get him to be professional at work! Dom
-
Don't know how big the guy is but I have an orignal classic he can use. I am just under 6'2 and about 211 lbs. If it fits him he can use it. That way I have an excuse to use Scott's S3 again! Dom

No names. Don't wanna embarass anyone in public. Dom

I'll be there for sure!!!! Get to feeling good girl. We will see if we can get you on more than one fun jump for sure. Get Diablo pilot on camera and some really good flyers around ya we will get some video to make all your friends jealous! Of course you may want to bring some extra clothes or that bikini, I hear they just may have a big ole swimming pool at Perris that loves to swallow people after there 100th! That is what I heard. Dom

I can't make it tp Elsinore but you are more then welcome to come play with us ove at Perris. I bet we could put together just about any kind of dive you are looking to do. That is if you will come and jump with me after my short people comment. Dom
-
That is what I am trying to get at. I just don't see how that is possible. Like I said I am trying to learn so I hope this BMI can educate me on how it works. Dom
-
Damn it Phree! That is twice today you caught me not paying full attention to what I am reading! Vector Boy definatly not Felix Baumgardner (SP) Dom
-
What a wonderful cat! Stay on topic Vector Boy. This is a topical forum! Dom

Scott the way I heard it is, that this was sustained flight. You are right about the turns. See that all the time when flocking around. I tried to be specific about the fact that I will give up the 50 bucks for video. If I wasn't clear before, it is for VIDEO only! Dom
-
I am going to try it this weekend. I'll give 50 bucks to the first person that can show me video of this being done. Not with a belly flyer but with another Bird Suit that is flying flat. Not all closed up but actually using the suit! Since that was the claim. It just seems that the aerodynamics don't work. I would think that flying on your side in a Bird Suit would create less drag therefore increasing your fall rate to close to belly speeds. What about the forward speed? Where is the drive coming from? I am really interested in seeing how this works. I only have about 20 or so Wing suit jumps and am trying to learn as much as I can. Dom
-
Wouldn't flying on your side make you fall a lot faster though? I would think you would fall like a brick because of the lack of surface area. Dom
-
I heard from a friend of mine said that one of the BMI's no names (yet) is claiming that they can fly what they call a Knifes Edge with a Bird suit. From what I have been told is that this person turns on their side and can stay with someone maxed out on there belly. Maybe I don't get it! Has anyone seen this or does anyone believe it can be done? Dom

***You can tell if you are going straight or if you are having problems with your body postion and such. Granted you can reference it a lot easier of you are with someone else __________________________________________________ I said it's better with somebody else for sure, but don't tell me you can't tell how your body position is and if you are turning or not. Not doubting your experience and I am very sure you have the video. Just saying that she CAN work on the basic skill. Dom

OOPS! Just had one on the phone with 50 jumps on a Stiletto 150 at 1.4. I was in save femur mode! Dom
