  9. Hello, I learned ws on a GTi, with a Sabre 135 main in a Vector. Line twists now and then, nothing to chop. I now fly S3 and V1 with the same main, and have about the same result. Line twists now and then, nothing to chop, imho. You have to be in control on deployment, or you get twists. There is another thread about that right around here somewhere. I also use 9' bridle with bigger pc's. You can anticipate the spin and counter with a wing or leg. My second rig is a Wings, just put in a Spectre 170. It is also great for all my wingsuits. ================================== I've got all I need, Jesus and gravity. Dolly Parton http://www.AveryBadenhop.com

John Hoover was at Bridge Day then, Seth Blake and I enjoyed a nice two-way that day, Nic Hartshorne had not even made his first BASE jump yet. I know it's off topic, ten years just flicked by.

  21. Hello, Maybe I am an experienced BASE jumper. Certainly I have had some experiences BASE jumping. I do agree with your assessment of the aforementioned "nugget". When you get right down to it, the ONLY risk is the object or the ground. Exceptions to that are remote, ie. another jumper, a bird, a flying saucer. Mis-rigging, poor body position, lack of awareness, malfunction, etc., etc. all still lead to the object or the ground. If the real risk was in your mind, couldn't you just think: survival without injury survival without injury survival without injury? ================================== I've got all I need, Jesus and gravity.

  22. Hello, I will be out Friday maybe, Saturday for sure with Alex, and maybe Sunday afternoon. Radek will also be there on Saturday, so one RW jump for sure. Maybe two.

  23. [climbs out on limb and reveals age] Hello, Perhaps everyone should pray for the right significant other. By that, I don't mean the mate who will accept skydiving as a priority. I mean the mate who becomes the priority. Seek a mate who you love entirely, and who loves you back the same, and your heart will be fulfilled. It will take less of the other stuff to keep it that way. Then skydiving or BASE jumping should fall into it's perspective place in your life. Free to skydive or BASE jump to your hearts content, and content to spend more time with your mate. Seek wholeness, you will discover treasure.

  24. The individuals who have the right to decide, apparently, are those that are asked to instruct. I have been asked to instruct. Once, I said yes. After my "student" made one jump, I retired from instructing. My opinion, right then based on my experience, was that nobody should BASE jump. (My student did fine, not a scratch). Which is more dangerous for whom? I am only a danger to myself when I BASE jump. If your hypothetical untrained and ill equipped novice goes ahead with jump plans, he is only a danger to himself. Saving his life will not affect the danger of my next jump. My advice continues to be, to any who ask, do not take up this sport. ================================== I've got all I need, Jesus and gravity. Dolly Parton http://www.AveryBadenhop.com
