Have you tried it Pete already? Hope I'll get my hands on one soon :) Jul. JFK #1013 PM Me No Adrenalin.... No Fun! "Minds are like parachutes the

Your GPS is logging information using the NMEA message protocol. You can find information about them there: http://www.remember.ro/dl/nmea0183.pdf Probably possible to find a software converting NMEA into a more readable data. Jul. JFK #1013 PM Me No Adrenalin....

I was not bashing anyone, just saying that one should wait the complete information before trying to make any conclusion regarding that jump. Jul. JFK #1013 PM Me No Adrenalin.... No Fun! "Minds are like parachutes the

A slider-up, sub-terminal jump on an E is never a good idea, IMO. Probably a good idea to wait for more info before drawing hasty conclusions. RIP brother. Jul. JFK #1013 PM Me No Adrenalin.... No Fun! "Minds are like parachutes the

Claude, how about allowing WS fliers to put their data on your website without scoring them. You could do that for few months and that would provide various types of flights to be able to find the right idea to score the flights? Possibility to upload data from a digital altimeter would also allow to study the accuracy of the GPS measurements. Lou, regarding your comparisons with Vidiot on the GPS accuracy, what kind of GPS equipment were you using? I'm asking that because nowadays more and more GPS systems include a pressure sensor to compensate the GPS regarding altitudes and heights. Jul. JFK #1013 PM Me No Adrenalin.... No Fun!

Got your point :) GPS doesn't provide such a good static "elevation", however it should provide enough "height" measurement to define a vertical window where the points could be counted. Jul. JFK #1013 PM Me No Adrenalin.... No Fun! "Minds are like parachutes the

Claude, 4000m is about 13Kf and as said by Lou, most of the DZ is US go to 12.5K (3800m). In Finland, where Cessna is the most common plane, we exit from 9.8K to 13.5K How about starting counting the points after 15s and for 1min flight. It would allow people to jump from different altitudes and would allow everybody to participate. Best ones could even jump from 7K with a safe margin and still be part of the game :) Going for longuer flight times might make it more like a physical (body) contest than a technical one. Jul.

How about contacting the locals to get the right advices on that spot? Magland is not such an easy place. You'd better know the winds around there before you even think about gearing up.

Hey Tom. I'm only dealer for them so I don't know the whole timeline for their products but I can assure you that right now, the only available suits are the ones on their website. Robert or James will probably confirm. Jul. JFK #1013 PM Me No Adrenalin.... No Fun! "Minds are like parachutes the

I think he was trying to figure out if some had jumped from a non fixed object into the cave ;) Jul. edit: typos JFK #1013 PM Me No Adrenalin.... No Fun! "Minds are like parachutes the

Hey Collin ;) I definitely agree with you on jump numbers, however there might be something to think about on the aerial part. Aerials won't help you, however body awereness can help you avoid/get yourself out of certain situations (noticing straight after exit that if you don't do something now, you'll end up FreeFlying the object). It is body awereness that you work on when doing gymnastic, board diving, yoga, and so on... Was thinking of applying this year but considering my limited experience (56j/1y) I'll keep on jumping other fun objects before getting towards the Malaysians giants :) Jul.

How about getting a mentor, talking with him about BASE and agreeing on doing a FJC, he could then mentor you after you would have had the basic knowledge? Jul. JFK #1013 PM Me No Adrenalin.... No Fun! "Minds are like parachutes the
