    What is the last thing the guy coming out of the shower says? I can NOT understand that accent... www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  2. I have found Sony Vegas to be much quicker to work with than Premier. All of the videos I've made (click link in my signature) were made with Vegas. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  3. I would also think a balloon would make it even more difficult to locate that tiny button. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

    I say there are 50 parachutes in the cargo bay and Jack has to teach the passengers to skydive. Either that, or there's 1 parachute, and he has to take everybody on a super tandemx50. Sort of like that Adidas commercial where the guy holds a whole crowd on his shoulders. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  5. Crank up your speakers and press play! CLICK FOR VIDEO From the SM.com info page: This is the official video for Skydive City's second annual 'Z-Flock' wingsuit event, April 2006. The footage consists mainly of small, medium, and large (up to 30-way) static wingsuit formations. However, flocking is not the only way to fly; there is a bit of aerobatic footage mixed in with the formation loads, to add variety. EDITING: Matt Hoover CAMERA: Matt Hoover Scary Perry Avery Badenhop ADDITIONAL FOOTAGE: Omar Nery's Sam Gouws Jason Weisberg Edward Cheslek Medusa Richard Parkin Yuri Artemov DVD VERSION - If you attended this event (or even if you didn't!) and are interested in the DVD version (much better video quality), please send me an email for information. The DVD includes other videos I have produced. With the DVD, I will also send a picture disc with digital photos from every jump. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  6. Are you referring to Larry Strayhorn? (your S3 mustache man, Avery) See post #3 in this thread. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  7. Michelle currently jumps a Vampire. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  8. Pictures of Rebecca's wingsuit here (post #14). I don't know if I have any pics of Michelle's, but hers is definitely bright too. Contact "DaMan" on here, that's her husband Todd, maybe they have a pic for you. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  9. In my area, as others have said, there aren't many choices. Hell, I can't even afford to own ANY sort of real estate in a decent part of town relatively close to my job, so I rent. And I don't make horrible money. A simplistic, somewhat humorous potential explanation. My dad says "old people move here (to FL) to retire, make new rules in their HOA, and then die." The people making the rules are the ones going to the meeting and stuff who care about that kind of stuff. The people who don't want rules, maybe aren't going and speaking up. I'm guessing here. I wonder the same thing. In one final attempt to move this to SC, here is my answer - Americans are stupid, and getting stupider. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  10. After reviewing your video footage which Ted sent me (for the DVD I'm working on), I must say you are quite the buzzer yourself. There is one Chuck buzz specifically I'll probably include in the edit. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  11. Christ, it was 230,000 (and had been up for some time) when somebody posted it here last night. All those hits coming from here? www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  12. Review here. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  13. My mistake, I thought I was in the bug reports forum. I even scanned for this topic and was surprised nobody else had posted it. Sorry... www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  14. Anybody else having this issue? I'm referring to the button in the profile. Or a manual search for a user's posts. I am getting this error message: Error: Non-existent table specified www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  15. Three of them are on these forums - ScaryPerry, Yuri_base and Scottygofast. Ask them and see what they say. I am pretty sure Perry uses some sort of wide angle. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  16. I hold my chin with my hands during deployment. I jump a wingsuit and the natural place for my hands is under my chin anyway, during deployment. I have 2 topmounted cameras. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  17. Without echoing a lot of what other people have already said, I'll add the following. Obviously, a higher overall airspeed equals a fast opening. However, I have found that the most important thing in how "hard" an opening feels is the orientation of your body relative to the direction in which the parachute is opening. Example: headdown openings hurt (airspeed notwithstanding, it hurts to get "whipped" around 180 degrees). If you dump in full flight, the "situp" technique is definitely a plus. If you can get your feet pointed in the direction of the snivel, before the slider slams down, the opening will happen "above your head" and will feel significantly better than if it is happening above your back or behind your feet. I was reviewing a bunch of footage from the other flockers @ Z-Flock who sent me tapes to use in the event video. I was amazed how many of those guys see their legwing when they deploy. That, to me, signifies "whip". I can dump in full flight without getting "whipped". I will not see my legwing at all, those it will be a brisk opening. But it will not bend my back or neck in ways I don't want. It will simply compress them, inline with my spine. I always wear a camera, and I never see my own legwing in the video (a function of both body position on opening, and where I aim my head). For those of you who can't understand the "situp" concept, a very similar thing (the idea of which I did not come up with on my own, I'll have to give credit to Omar) is just balling up (pulling your knees to your chest) during the snivel. Same effect. Even if you do get whipped, having your legs cannonballed reduces the lever arm by bringing a lot of your mass closer to center, thereby reducing the severity of the whip. Note that I do this once I am already in the snivel. I've read about the "hole" and how you can fall out of a rig if you get a premature during a sitfly. I'd imagine this is a potential concern with this technique, but I've never felt my rig slipping the way I do it. Personally, I don't dump from quite full flight, but it's pretty close. I stall the suit for a split second to kill some forward speed, dump, and then collapse everything to cannonball/situp during the snivel. Once I am snivelling I keep knees/feet together but straighten legs out/down to try to keep harness straight. A lot of what I do is to reduce whip on my neck for the cameras I wear. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

    You clearly are not flying long enough. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  19. The video was definitely cool, but it did not look to me like he actually went between canopies. Not knocking the video, just saying... Thanks for uploading it!
  20. That's why you try it at a real store but then go home and buy it online. Totally possible, I'd think.
  21. Hmm, I looked it up and it is actually a firmware update, which I understand as slightly more severe than a software update. Also, it appears to only work on two models of iPod, a 4G and 5G video IIRC. Not sure why it wouldn't work on all of them. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

    Refresh my memory, who is COS? I have clearly forgotten at least one element in this overly intricate hole-ridden plot. That, or I've had too much vodka tonight. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

    If Heller was smart, he would have had a recorder in his pocket when he first confronted the president. And then played it back in front of the VP. Do we know for sure that Aaron is dead? I watch downloaded eps too, and don't get to see the previews because of that (which is sort of nice since I get more surprised the following week, but the discussion on here confuses me since people always talk about things which were revealed in the previews). www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  24. Sounds interesting. I have a 60GB non-video. Is it reversible? I would assume formatting the iPod would return it to its original state. It's just a hard drive after all. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  25. But he was saying that if you want 20mm, you need 12.5mm lens (BEFORE the conversion). www.WingsuitPhotos.com
