    New Music

    The new Doves CD is pretty good, but I think their last one was better. Depending on your circle of influence, these bands may seem obscure or not: Porcupine Tree Patrick Wolf Bright Eyes Anathema ...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead (new album rocks) Lou Barlow (ex-member of Dinosaur Jr, frontman for Sebadoh and the Folk Implosion, one of the most prolific songwriters of the 90's and he just now realeased his "solo" debut... worth listening to alone for his acoustic cover of RATT'S Round and Round) Josh Rouse Death Cab For Cutie and many more... www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  2. I wasn't implying it had to do with the jumpers or their "names", just that it seemed to me in the past that I had seen more positive comments toward this stuff. And I do remember Yuri saying his low pull was unintentional, but I also seem to remember he pointed that out AFTER several people said "awesome!". It's a weird situation I guess because based on our nature (as jumpers, no I'm not BASE yet), we like to see hardcore stuff and like to think "awesome!" in our heads based on how cool it looks, even if we might be yelling "dumbass!" based on how close to death we know the jumper came... www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  3. What's funny is that I've seen videos of Dwain, Yuri, and Pecnik all with shorter canopy rides than this one (and all from WS flights too), and in the threads where I found those videos the comments were all unanimously positive toward the low-pullers. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  4. Don't know, haven't been there since before the hurricanes. Actually, since my injury (there) 1 year and 4 days ago. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  5. To quote a heartbreak specialist: i guess time has a way of making everything alright it's just there is not enough of it and so we drink and we sing and we celebrate this lie and hope that it will last morning is here night has passed i guess fear has a way of making sleep unbearable and the days seem dark and long but we cry and we dance and we stumble into love with perfect, awkward grace the moon is gone and the sun has took its place www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  6. If the tandem was sensory overload for her, I don't see how any other way would have been better. I went straight to AFF and have never done a tandem. I don't really see how tandem can do anything but add to the participants in our sport. I guess if it didn't exist, the "one time thrill seekers" would be forced to do an AFF L1 and then quit, but not everyone would do that, so I think we'd have less jumpers overall (both one-timers and extended participants). www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  7. Zhills has a pond, and FFers. I'd guess they'll be busy during that time period too. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  8. I beat you to it. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  9. How did you manage to get a pic of Scott holding his grippers? www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  10. Geez Darren, that is scary. I'm guessing that happened after the weekend? www.WingsuitPhotos.com

    Kite surfers

    Sounds like a hell of a lot of roadrash. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

    Kite surfers

    Olivia, where did you manage that (and what gear are you including)? I've been wanting to get into this for some time but I was under the impression it was a lot more expensive. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  13. click Looks like it will be on again in 2 months... guess I will find somebody with cable to tape it for me then. :) www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  14. I don't get cable... any chance anyone can put this online or something? www.WingsuitPhotos.com

    The Mars Volta

    That's not exactly true, but it's close enough. Both are great bands. I would also like to point out that 2 years ago I was telling people on here to listen to the Mars Volta. Do a search and see how many posts are by me. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  16. I know Rod Driver. He's a pornstar and did my 2nd ever WS jump with me (in Pahokee, FL), and provided me with my 1st midair WS collision. :) I had no idea about his alleged landing intentions... www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  17. I was gonna point out the same thing, Scott. Look at Mike's (purple S3, to Bill's left) legs compared to Bill's. Mike's a light guy in an S3 and his legs look even more bent than the V-1 guys to me. Bill was definitely flying his suit! www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  18. You should get Jenn to make a post about her PC-in-tow incident, since that stuff has been discussed on here recently already... www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  19. Reviving my own post. :) I hit 99 this weekend at the Z flock n dock. :) www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  20. I used GetDataBack too. AFTER a format. Successfully. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  21. If you own a rig, why would you even consider renting? Use your own gear! www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  22. The picture is from the movie Brazil. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  23. I thought the original intent of this idea was to benefit the pursuit of a wingsuit landing, not to further the sport of competetive ski jumping? www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  24. What happened to your ankle, Scott? www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  25. Last time my sinuses decided they were more important than skydiving. Hopefully I can stay healthy for the next 10 days. Cya next weekend! www.WingsuitPhotos.com
