  1. my safire used to open pretty slow. i ordered one size smaller slider from icarus. i'm not sure if it helped much though. now i have a crossfire and so far i did 1 jump on it :) sub terminal opening took forever :) stan. -- it's not about defying gravity; it's how hard you can abuse it. speed skydiving it is ...

  3. when people watch deployment they twist their body or drop sholder which may cause line twists. stan. -- it's not about defying gravity; it's how hard you can abuse it. speed skydiving it is ... Speed Skydiving Forum

  7. if i have a chance, i always mention on interview that i'm a skydiver. it's a great subject to discuss, makes people interested and divert them from asking questions you may not have answers too. plust when it's a decision time for them, you won't be some faceless, namelsee candidate, you'd be "that dude that skydives". :) well, it always worked for me. stan. -- it's not about defying gravity; it's how hard you can abuse it. speed skydiving it is ...

    shoutcast.com - tons and tons of different stations. you can search by any criteria. digitally imported is there as well. and that's my favorite too :) stan. -- it's not about defying gravity; it's how hard you can abuse it. speed skydiving it is ... Speed Skydiving Forum
  9. use netscape 7.x. it supresses pop-ups and you don't have to have any new/additional software installed. plus it has tons of nice new features. stan. -- it's not about defying gravity; it's how hard you can abuse it. speed skydiving it is ... Speed Skydiving Forum
  10. yes, you are a wuss if i could i would ask the pilot to crank it up a notch. don't worry, it will go away and you will start enjoying it stan. -- it's not about defying gravity; it's how hard you can abuse it. speed skydiving it is ... Speed Skydiving Forum
  11. new netscape 7.x blocks the pop-ups, prevents scripts form moving/resizing windows and other funky shit. and it also has lots of other cool and useful features. stan. -- it's not about defying gravity; it's how hard you can abuse it. speed skydiving it is ... Speed Skydiving Forum

  13. Orange is usually open thru the winter. if enough people show up the otter will go up, otherwise cessna. it might get a little cold, but we keep jumping. stan. -- it's not about defying gravity; it's how hard you can abuse it. speed skydiving it is ... Speed Skydiving Forum
  14. well, he has a coach rating, doesn't he ? he has a tendancy to be a little reckless, i'd say. stan. -- it's not about defying gravity; it's how hard you can abuse it. speed skydiving it is ... Speed Skydiving Forum
  15. Ok, I've got to really start working on my HD...I've done 275Max and in the 250's for an average before without meaning to go fast... What's *really* fast for speed skydiving, not max, but average? hey, do you have any jumptrack graphs with 250+ average ? that's pretty good. i don't think anyone whould get 250 average without intentions to go fast :) talking about average here i meant not speed skydiving average speed over 1 vertical km but average registred by protrack for the whole jump. and i assume your protrack is not in your helmet, but on your laterals. but anyway, it's fast :) stan. -- it's not about defying gravity; it's how hard you can abuse it. speed skydiving it is ...

  18. folks across the pond will be having one of the meet next year in the US. why not combine and play together ? speed skydiving has already rules and organization, why have two different competition if we can get the best divers together and compete ?? stan. -- it's not about defying gravity; it's how hard you can abuse it. speed skydiving it is ...

  19. very nice :) that suit will be extremely hard to balance :) today was freaking cold and i got some nice speed going. got one jump with 253 mph average for the whole jump. i guess it was too cold and i wanted back to the ground fast :) stan. -- it's not about defying gravity; it's how hard you can abuse it. speed skydiving it is ...

  20. i got to 96 mph average for one jump, but my speed at the end got back to 110 mph right before i pulled. i also got to 290+ mph using the same suit for my speed dives :) stan. -- it's not about defying gravity; it's how hard you can abuse it. speed skydiving it is ... Speed Skydiving Forum

  24. hey, I'm looking for a person who runs or works in Skydive Chicago store. Could anyone help me with the name and email ? And mail address of the store if possible ? Thanks, Stan. -- it's not about defying gravity; it's how hard you can abuse it. speed skydiving it is ... Speed Skydiving Forum
  25. chill out, man ! if my avatar looks angry it doesn't mean i feel the same way. i was mistaken about two pro-tracks, but still stay my ground about the rest. if there is no beep, don't use it for THIS jump, not taling about subsequent ones. the worst is when everything seems ok, it beeps at 1k, blinks on the way on altitude, but doesn't warn you in freefall. that will be a total failure. i don't know any cases when that happend. it probably did, but i don't know about it. chances that two pro-tracks will fail the same time without any warning and with beeps at 1k are very slim. stan. -- it's not about defying gravity; it's how hard you can abuse it. speed skydiving it is ...
