    Mechanix Gloves. Wouldnt jump without them. Come in various colors, also good for cleaning your glasses/goggles. Can be found at any Advance Autoparts store. Cost $19.95 - WAY less then Newmans and last much longer. http://www.mechanix.com/mw05/ SoFPiDaRF - School of Fast Progress in Downsizing and Radical Flying.

    If he cant do a good launch he is risking hitting the ledge. That is why holding on to his leg or "tumbled exit" would be deadly. SoFPiDaRF - School of Fast Progress in Downsizing and Radical Flying. Because nobody knows your skills better than you.

    I think that if you ask some of the old school BASE jumpers, the ones that started this thing, the ones that know what BASE ethics are all about will tell you that this STUNT was a GREAT disservice to the BASE activity.

    How much good can bitching about a private matter about some petty joke on the internet can do for the sport? How much fun would a simple NO be?? :) SoFPiDaRF - School of Fast Progress in Downsizing and Radical Flying. Because nobody knows your skills better than you.

    Well, Joe's been around skydivng longer then I have been alive. So what might be considered a dickish and rude attitude by politically correct "joy-joy-happy-feelings-make-me-feel-good-about-myself" skydivers of today, is probably nothing more then a good hearted joke by a veteran skydiver.

    Cross Keys is a great DZ. The Ranch is an awesome DZ. Both run a safe and profitable operation. I've only been to X-keys a handfull of times and dont plan on being there a lot, but from what I remember the guys there are a pretty good professional bunch, just like our pros at the Ranch. I didnt see any drinking and pot smoking when i was there but I am SURE it happens there as much as it does anywhere. There are always bad apples in the family, every dz has its share. When some noob with no name and no profile (erikzero) makes a bogus safety accusation like that should we really take it to heart? I think people that have a clue will see his post for what it really is - an ignorant pile of crap and disregard it. Unfortunately, the people that dont have a clue just might take it as a fact and form their opinions based on his garbage. SoFPiDaRF - School of Fast Progress in Downsizing and Radical Flying.

    You'd be wasting your time for two reasons: a. It's kinda been done (brian germain chart) b. Nobody would follow it SoFPiDaRF - School of Fast Progress in Downsizing and Radical Flying. Because nobody knows your skills better than you.

    Some of you may have heard that the Initial Russian Boogie took place last year at Carolina Sky Sports in NC. The DZ was invaded by many Mad Russians coming to experience warm southern welcome. We were VERY impressed - there was only a few commie jokes :) We cooked deer stew for the whole DZ, drank cold beer and did a few other things ;) WE HAD A BLAST!! This year it's happening again!! April 13th-16th at the same DZ dozens of Russians will jump during the day and party hard at night. On the agenda: beautiful wild and naked Russian women and may be one wild naked man known as the Human-Submarine :) Deer stew and sheesh kebab are now a tradition and will be served! Alchohol of all forms and various strengths... about 100 liters of wine :) All this is according to my local contact at the DZ. So come jump with us and see how we roll SoFPiDaRF - School of Fast Progress in Downsizing and Radical Flying. Because nobody knows your skills better than you.

    Invalid on all acounts. First, that was done at 5K ASL - on steroids if you will. Everyone was flying mad distances. Second, the PD pilot set the new record MUCH better then the one set by the amature pilot on JVX SoFPiDaRF - School of Fast Progress in Downsizing and Radical Flying.

    Having the "know how" and being able to actually do are two VERY different things, man. I BET you that there are people here that know a LOT more about flight physics then you EVER will. You just have the (great) ability to execute. SoFPiDaRF - School of Fast Progress in Downsizing and Radical Flying. Because nobody knows your skills better than you.

    *** Less suspended weight in the harness (touching water) can cause the canopy to climb because it is not carrying as much weight, this will cause the pilot to lift off the water, reload the wing and descend again. No fuel, simple physics. Dude i think you're physics are off a bit... i mean how much weight can be unloaded by dragging the foot?? "IF" you still say enough (to swing the suspended body forward and up), then consider the DRAG you;re creating with your foot when you're uhm... dragging it

    I think he was talking about the weight... FATTIES! SoFPiDaRF - School of Fast Progress in Downsizing and Radical Flying. Because nobody knows your skills better than you.

    I am not sure who's side you're on - the "punk kid" or the "more experinced jumper"? SoFPiDaRF - School of Fast Progress in Downsizing and Radical Flying. Because nobody knows your skills better than you.

    Can i throw my two cents in? It's not just about swooping, but anything in general. The answer to your question is quite simple really: To feel better about themselves. I have seen it myself - those who have been doing it ("it" can be anything) for a while seem to take it hard that someone with 2-3 years of experience can just come in and beat them at their own game, at something they have been doing for 10-12 years or more.
