  1. Do people need a reason for everything they do? As long as you feel the need to do something then do it. Jul. JFK #1013 PM Me No Adrenalin.... No Fun! "Minds are like parachutes the

    An other True Story, this one about me: When I was few month old my mother was changing me on a special table... My mother looked away for a second and I felt from there Don't know if I've been always like I am now or if it just came from there Jul. JFK #1013 PM Me No Adrenalin.... No Fun!

  8. Just one reaction concerning this aspect as I can't comment on the sport itself (I'm a beginner). Being young implies that your body is still evolving/growing. Would the "hard" opening of slider down jump create troubles that a person could keep for his all life? Jul. JFK #1013 PM Me No Adrenalin.... No Fun! "Minds are like parachutes the

    First BASE Gear

    Could be. Although if you are buying a Troll, wouldn't you just have to send it to Stane in Slovenia? So that would actually be the least shipping for retrofit of your canopy options. True.. still lot of things to learn, like manufacturer addresses ;-) Yep, now I'm sure of my choice, Gargoyle+troll 265 MDV Order this weekend ;-) Thanks. Jul. JFK #1013 PM Me No Adrenalin....

    Another thought that just hit me. Every manufacturer is willing to retrofit their canopies with secondary inlets of some kind. It would be just as easy to have them added later, when you know you want the, (and know you want to spend the money). Could be interesting but for us in Europe it means spending money in shipping too... so might be worth the investment at the beginning... don't you think so? JFK #1013 PM Me No Adrenalin.... No Fun!

    Yep I've read this one and I was wondering about the MDV on the Troll but seems that Troll without MDV and Troll with MDV have different behaviour. After reading a bit more seems Troll+MDV is a good combination. What do you think? Jul. JFK #1013 PM Me No Adrenalin.... No Fun! "Minds are like parachutes the

    First BASE Gear

    Hi guys! I'm pretty new here but have few questions. I will start BASE jumping this spring and as I'm traveling to US before I want to bring back a BASE gear from there. For now I'm thinking of ordering a Gargoyle (with dynamic corners) and a Troll MDV 265 (I weight about 200lbs with skydiving gear). I've been reading a lot, got advice from local BASE jumpers and considering Tom's advice I'm wondering if my choice is good. I live now where it could be possible to jump A's and B's, but I'm from the French Alps (parents still live there, and grand-parents have a spot over their garden ) and will start over there (B first). I'm not keen on low height jumps, but I know that sometimes you have objects you want to jump that are rather low. Thanks for your advice. Julien. JFK #1013 PM Me No Adrenalin.... No Fun!

  15. May be a similar design, but doesn't have de SkyDial system to tighten the helmet. Feel free to contact me. JFK #1013 PM Me No Adrenalin.... No Fun! "Minds are like parachutes the

  17. Hello all. A new FreeFly helmet is born in France The SVX has been designed for maximum protection and comfort. The shell is made of carbon fiber. It could be mounted as a Camera/Video helmet. Personalized paintings available. The price is €200, around US$230. You could find more pictures and information here: http://www.svx-helmet.com/ I must be at Skydive AZ during February. If you are interested I could bring helmets with me and avoid transportation fee. Feel free to contact me by email: fourgeau@efrei.fr Blue Skies, Julien. JFK #1013 PM Me No Adrenalin.... No Fun!
