  1. It is so nice that you are able to declare the universal and golden truth.
  2. Try your luck: [url "http://www.cypres-usa.com/usedcypres.asp"]Used CYPRES Value Estimator[url] If you can find a good deal....
  3. +1 This was the way to create a maximum sized burble. I'd rather pull from full flight.
  4. After reaching a legal age for driving or buying a alcohol are you a pussy because your are not driving the strongest car against a tree or not drinking yourself to death, just because you can? Hitting the minimum requirement does not really mean that you are so deadly good.
  5. Most of the labor who worked on your rig has no skydiving experience. Why do you still trust your rig?
  6. Radios are used in Finland for students for 2-3 jumps only. Its a good thing that students can receive a guide for landing. Most of them are happy to get rid of them and landing of their own.
  7. At least there would be some people know how to flare a reserve properly.
  8. It is not a swoop machine that is for sure. If you just want reliable openings and soft landing it is just fine.
  9. You seem to know a sh1t about it. There are other competitions where scoring window is defined just by the altitude like 3000-1500m or 2500-1500m. A diving start can make a bigger difference there.
  10. A line twist usually happening with a slow opening. Make up your mind! Hard opening of line-twist?
  11. Well, well, it seems the only way to go is defining this discipline by the equipment in use, best trackers can easily outperform a lousy wing suit flier even in solo.
  12. This is from Wikipedia: But there is no clear separation between tracking suits, hybrids and wing suits....
  13. You can use a freebag on the main tray with a ripcord and a reserve PC, so no need for reserve packjobs. I got one reserve ride with a VectorII gear. It was a low speed and I'm 100% satisfied.
  14. I was not mine, but it went untill the bone.
  15. I have found a shoe. What can you get with a shoe, duct tape and 2 emergency smoke flare? 3rd degree burn.....
  16. ??? Containers do not have anything to do with cars....
  17. So, having a limited packing experience? I do pack tandems time to time. I prefer to have feedback about my work and ideas how it can be better. I'd take some time working with him. You may learn his tricks and teach yours.
  18. What does jumping experience to do with packing experience? I don't see any connection. Please, enlighten me! Check it again. That should be the trick. Wow! Tandem should be special. How can you pack a line twist on a 280-300 sqft student canopy? Packing a 350 sqft tandem isn't a big step that way.
  19. I got my FFC on Phantom. It was really easy to fly. Firebird is something similar. I don't think there would be a real need for smaller wings at least not for skydiving.
  20. I don't care who, but I'd like to know why.
  21. Sure, there are older and smaller suit which are more prone to flat-spin.
  22. Than ask a glider instructors about the method they teach student how to land and use spoilers. I was told they are instructed to put in about 50% and land...... My instructor told me when I did the conversion course from round to square static-line, there were a methodology where student suppose to have 1-2 first landing without proper flare, just in half-break configuration..... Is that so bad to push students to have the first jumps with a big canopy, low wing load and a non-collapsible slider and PC? I don't think so. The complexity is reduced, they can learn the rest later if they are still jumping....
  23. My lack of response has been because I think it is a silly idea. We don't need more organizations, especially ones created as a result of a rift in our community. Wrong. We need the organization of the organized!
