  4. I personally like tetrahedrons. They don't move in a 2-3 mph wind which makes them perfect for no to low wind days. "Land in the direction the tetrahedron is pointing or land somewhere else."

  8. What ratings do you need to have to do the race jump? D license? Demo jumper? Will it be based out of a DZ? Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  9. If I remember correctly, the new owner didn't buy the company, he just bought the assets. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  10. Aren't most Special Op's fatalities "training accidents"? Sounds like a great boogie.
  11. Are you jumping a wingsuit with a Velocity? Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

  16. Have only been to Z-hills twice for New Years but had a blast.
  17. Thats a great idea CanuckinCanuckia. Let's do some CReW after we track off and open at 2k too. Before the meeting I was joking with one of our swoopers that some days I feel like I'd be less at risk ripping 270's in the HP area.

  18. What has your DZ done to improve landing pattern safety? Both for high performance and standard. Skydive Carolina, Chester, SC - Instituted a separate swoop area with "swoop shuttle" No turns over 90 in the main landing area. The winds were light and variable all weekend. Not only did they set a designated left hand pattern and landing direction for the main area, but after one load with quite a few people landing various directions , they stopped operations and had a meeting with all the jumpers. They dictated the landing pattern again, how to merge into it from crosswind or final legs if low, explained people are watching, and the consequences of not following the pattern (warnings or groundings).
  19. If only that were true. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

  21. Of the collision fatalities that have occurred: How many were long slow carving turns vs. quick snap turns? Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  22. Skydive Carolina has established a HP landing area as well. They even have a "swoop shuttle" to take the jumpers back to the hanger. Some other DZ's have had "no hook turn" rules for years.

  23. Good for you! You just might have fun there! Can you guarantee this ? Actually, I can!
