We call that the 'Phil Allen Death Roll', I've got some spectacular footage somewhere of the man attempting a barrel roll and dropping like a lead balloon - it's really quite amazing, he looks like he's just been shot down by the enemy. I should be so lucky. Instead I think I'll buy some really good thermals and grin and bear it. Gus OutpatientsOnline.com

What a shocking accusation

Wow, 8 weeks can seem like an eternity when you're waiting for your shiny new GTi to turn up! But it did eventually and it's great

Very cool, thanks for putting it online. Video editing is no easy task but it looks good. That exit shot at about 3 mins 20 secs is just awesome

You crazy scotch folk with your talk of 'wingsuit forums' and such like. Is there a 'women only' forum too, LOL! ...buggar. Gus OutpatientsOnline.com

It's quite simple: wingsuits rock! And yes, they're worth the money but you don't need to spend £650, I got mine direct from Birdman for about £460 - and there are a few second hand suits around in the uk. Gus OutpatientsOnline.com

Is your profile up to date? I'm no Canopy Nazi (TM) but a Crossfire2 at 1.7+ seems quite high for 300 jumps... Gus OutpatientsOnline.com

Dude, that's a sad situation right there.

How about just starting a stopwatch at a given altitude, stopping it on the ground and working the decent rate out in the bar? Gus OutpatientsOnline.com

Maybe you need a trip to Arizona

There's a 900k mpeg-2 codec download from elecard.com here. Sweet videos! Gus OutpatientsOnline.com

Rumour has it HMA lines have been banned on (European?) Paragliders because of fears over their UV resistance. Some people also reckon HMA doesn't show wear the same way as Spectra which means they'll break without any visible warning. All or none of this may be true! Gus OutpatientsOnline.com

Agreed. Modern wingsuits are still a pretty 'young' technology, there's got to be a few suprises there. What else? Gus OutpatientsOnline.com

Ram-air canopies have been around for a while and you could probably argue that 'recent' advances like cross-bracing and airlocks are more evolutionary than revolutionary. The same could be said for AADs and harness/container systems - progress is slow and steady (not necessarily a bad thing when our lives are on the line

This one made me laugh, it's very funny. Gus OutpatientsOnline.com

Have you seen this? Demo rigs for sale that might give you an idea of resale value. Gus OutpatientsOnline.com

Cool! PM me or post here with the results. Were you having problems with your unmodified Atom? If you can get a photo I'd like to see what it looks like after your mod. Gus OutpatientsOnline.com

If it's not too huge ask Pilot Dave if you can put it onto skydivingmovies.com, we'd all love to see it. Gus OutpatientsOnline.com

For Birdman jumping: it's been an option available on Wings for a while. It's to help give a cleaner deployment since the canopy is no longer opening directly above you - lots of forward speed means it's actually opening above and behind you. Gus OutpatientsOnline.com

'Old' doesn't have to equal 'bad'! I've got plenty of friends who jump containers that are more than ten years old, infact some of them are probably a fair bit older than that. Bear in mind that your choices might restrict what you can do in the air (ie think 'freefly friendly'

I don't think that pdf offers open corners as an option on new Atoms but has anyone had their rigger do this retrospectively? Or have any of the riggers out there done it for someone? Gus OutpatientsOnline.com

What mods did you have? Gus OutpatientsOnline.com

There's a thread here about the FF2, I have one (an FFX) and in general I'm very happy with it. What I've noticed though is that almost everyone I know with one has modded it slightly one way or another to get everything just right (camera angles, audible positions etc.). Gus OutpatientsOnline.com
