Sigh... If the deal seems too good to be true, it probably is. Reseller ratings Hope you haven't paid yet... www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Here's a few more pictures of the white suit. Tony's made about 30 of these suits in a couple weeks... he's a sewing madman and likes trying new ideas out. This is one of his favorites. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

I use Irfanview's batch operations to resize groups of jpegs quickly. But it only allows resize by scale (dimensions). When resizing a set of photos to post on DZ.com, for example, I aim to get each one just

Dude! Woa, how did I miss this? Was searching for posts by you to see if anything had been said about the Keys (yes, thinking very far in advance ) and found this one! Sounds like fun, hope I can come out and do it soon... www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Hollywood (and fiction in general) rarely protrays relationships accurately. There are very few people in real life who would leave a long term relationship for an ex (and if they do, it's even more rarely the right choice, nor does it last very long). Of course, if said ex was the man of steel, I suppose it might be slightly more likely to occur. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

That was my point. It does not have to do with experience because I demoed the Sabre2 only a few weeks before I got the Pilot. Same amount of experience for each. I have heard others say the Aerodyne's are less slippery, so I must not be imagining it. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Misinformation should not be given in the hopes that "someone smarter will correct it later". The people who don't know, shouldn't say. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Then you'd be happy to fly a canopy with a topskin made of lead, I guess. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Well since I don't know what you're referring to, I guess I have no choice but to discount every post? www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Good luck staying with Tony to take a picture... the jump that photo is from clocked in around 2 minutes (and he pulls high). Man knows how to fly. Every 2-way I've done with him has left my shoulders sore. Notice the bottom of his booties in attached photo... www.WingsuitPhotos.com

They just opened a What-a-burger near the DZ in Zhills, within the last few years I think (or I just never noticed it before). I was not impressed. I miss Wendy's chicken caesar pitas. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

That's funny, I found my brand new Pilot 132 easier to pack than a demo Sabre2 150 with over 100 jumps on it. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

My guess is your browser is resampling (resizing) the jpg. When IE resamples images it screws up the sharpness, and text in jpegs can become illegible. Is it possible this is what's happening? www.WingsuitPhotos.com

It's a sign, Steve. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

So did I, then I found out about Gimp. It is 99% as powerful as Photoshop, easier (faster) to use (IMO), FREE, and only a 10MB download. Seriously, try it out, it's awesome. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Think it has something to do with the little winglets which are unique to the Nitro, AFAIK? www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Actually, she likes them hot. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Resize, don't just crop. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Go to tonysuits.com and there is a banner at the top that says "coming soon". It has two pictures I took of Tony flying another one of his prototypes. More coming soon, probably. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

If your profile is accurate, I'll bet you got a lot of shit early on. Hmm, now that I think about it, it's actually very possible I'm flaring too late on my straight in approaches. I sort of intentionally started the flare extra early on my double front approach just to be conservative. Maybe that's responsible for the difference I noticed. Thanks. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Pictures Scott, I know you're using that new lens. And I'm talking about the flocks, NOT the hairy chest. Keep that picture to yourself please. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

I've been pretty conservative with canopy flight since I started jumping, for a guy my age at least. Spectre 170 @1.1 for 500 jumps with only straight in landings. Now I have a Pilot 132 @1.5. I've heard a lot of people talk about swooping enough that I already have certain conceptions in my mind. I've heard older swoopers explain the fallacy in the "you need extra (induced) speed to land a canopy at xx WL" idea, responding that *any* canopy can be landed straight in with no extra induced speed. I always thought that made sense. Well this weekend I started experimenting with inducing speed on my Pilot, in a very basic way - double fronts. I'm sure to the naked eye it looked no different than my previous straight in landings (I even saw video, and it doesn't), but it felt noticeably different to me. 1) Fun 2) Faster, further (not much, I'm sure, but I could feel a difference) 3) Much less flare needed (almost none it felt like), much more power available 4) And the big shocker - forward speed brought to almost a standstill before touching down (no wind) I've got probably 70 straight-in landings on this canopy almost all in no wind conditions, and had to surf, run a little at the end of all of them. It always seemed to set my feet down a second or two too soon, with not enough power left to keep the weight off of them. I'm not saying it's not possible to come to a stop before touchdown in no wind with a straight-in landing, just that I wasn't pulling it off. So on my very first try with the double fronts (and several after it), in the same wind conditions, it surprised me very much that I was touching down without having to run it out at all. I expected a lot more lift to be available to me due to the extra speed I'd have, but was NOT expecting better brakes. It almost seemed counterintuitive to say that I can stop better because I'm going faster. And now I feel like there's some truth to the newbie logic "you have to swoop it to land it right"... not necessarily in those exact terms, but in the fact that you do gain a level of control with extra speed. Obviously there's a world of difference between what I'm doing and an extreme HP landing, and the pro swoopers certainly don't arrest all forward speed before touchdown when they give it their all. Still, is there any validity to my observation? I don't think it was imagined. All over-analysis aside, I had a lot of fun and was tempted to jump right into 90 degree approaches but figured I'll keep this up for a couple weekends or so and then move onto slow 45's, just to stay conservative. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

If a woman refuses to give you her number, she is not interested. Pretty easy system. There's no reason to give yours out, as a guy. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

Here is how I use Google to identify songs. Of course usually I have one or two words wrong (as did you, it's move not step), so I have to try separate phrases until I get it to work. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
