Katie, that requires some explaination (and pictures if anyone has them -- hint hint)

I KNEW IT!! I held out for months waiting to see if the new Birdman suit was going to come out and THREE FREAKIN' WEEKS after I order a new S3, you guys release a new suit! [new york accent] you're killin' me ova here [/accent] Gahhhhh! Q: "Do you think it gets boring just flying around or is there more to it?" A: "I've never seen a bird get bored with flight and decide to start walking instead."

Yup, no problems. see my post above. Q: "Do you think it gets boring just flying around or is there more to it?" A: "I've never seen a bird get bored with flight and decide to start walking instead."

I agree. I still haven't been able to fly my GTI as vertically slow as that first birdman flight I took on a rented Classic... 53 mph. Q: "Do you think it gets boring just flying around or is there more to it?" A: "I've never seen a bird get bored with flight and decide to start walking instead."

You found your wings just fine, Katie. We'll have to flock again soon. next time, we'll get a dock. Q: "Do you think it gets boring just flying around or is there more to it?" A: "I've never seen a bird get bored with flight and decide to start walking instead."

Thank you, Chris. I now have a new (better) signature. Q: "Do you think it gets boring just flying around or is there more to it?" A: "I've never seen a bird get bored with flight and decide to start walking instead."

Oh, oh, which number category do I fall into, Brian? I have a GTI, but I have an S3 on order. c'mon, sing it with me "Movin' on up... to the east side... to a deluxe wingsuit in the Skyyyyy...." It was rough being the only birdman on the DZ for two years (lots of solos), but i'm glad that the rest of y'all finally saw the light!! can't wait to get home to Hollister, jump out at Ridgemark with you guys and flock back to the DZ. I heard you guys had a great time doing a sunset flock with a sarema birdman rodeo leading it... very cool. c-ya soon (late May).

ProTrack SLO mode - Use it for non-wingsuit too?
skyshark6 replied to pchapman's topic in Wing Suit Flying
has anyone tried to trade in their older-model protrack for one with the slow-mode? if so, how'd you do it? -
I have a javelin rig with the standard (not cut) corners. I started packing my d-bag "grommet to pin" when i started jumping a wingsuit 2 years ago and now pack it that way for all my jumps (freefly and wingsuit). I find that it helps all kinds of openings, reduces line twists in a wingsuit, and fits in the container just fine. that's my $0.02

chuck- although i will be down at dublin (we'll have to flock!), i'm not selling my GTI until my S3 comes in because that would leave me wing-less. and I can't do that! I was only half-kidding about selling the suit in my earlier post. I will sell it in May. I think Hollister needs another demo suit anyhow... See you in Dublin!
-
well, I ordered my new S3 this week. Thanks for the color input from everybody. I ordered a modification of design #4. a concept drawing is attached. the white wings have teal ribs. Thanks for your help, everyone. So, does anyone want to buy a used yellow and black GTI? -Rob
-
Yellow and black - Ranger and Army colors (see my avatar), but I'm looking to change... maybe to blue, teal and black. not really... Just something simple but appealing. I'm trying not to bias the voting, but my favorite is one of those two... Oh, and Rangers Lead The Way (class 7-95) Q: "Do you think it gets boring just flying around or is there more to it?" A: "I've never seen a bird get bored with flight and decide to start walking instead."
-
by the way, the fourth choice is white wings with green ribs... I think that would look cool. Q: "Do you think it gets boring just flying around or is there more to it?" A: "I've never seen a bird get bored with flight and decide to start walking instead."
-
so which color scheme do you like for my new Skyflyer3 that I am going to order? see the examples below and vote on your favorite one! If you have any suggestions / improvements, please post below. thanks for your help!

deuce, I'm sorry, but that suit makes you look more like Spiderman than a birdman... Q: "Do you think it gets boring just flying around or is there more to it?" A: "I've never seen a bird get bored with flight and decide to start walking instead."
-
I'm working on putting some designs together in photoshop. I'll post them here (or maybe turn it into a poll or something)
-
great idea. I'm thinking about changing my rig/suit colors away from black and yellow... it's just a time for change. I'm thinking something maybe blue/turquoise/green/black... somewhere in there. orange and pink are definitely out. thanks to everyone for their suggestions. how about some pictures? Q: "Do you think it gets boring just flying around or is there more to it?" A: "I've never seen a bird get bored with flight and decide to start walking instead."

sheesh, Liz, it ain't THAT cold. most people didn't even have to wear gloves...
-
I'm upgrading to an S3 after 100 jumps on my GTI (see avatar). that's the easy decision. the hard decision is what colors should I pick for the new S3? Please post your recommendations on color patterns you like/have seen and/or photos of your own color patterns if you have them. much appreciated!

ah, as far are you're concerned, that tape no longer exists. Ahem. -

And if you look closely, you can see that he is also giving me the finger. yes, the middle finger. -
Here's that picture of Vinny, as promised. Better you than me, Vin... ;-)

skyshark6 replied to skyshark6's topic in The Bonfire
Here's a still capture from an early morning load at the DZ.com holiday boogie in Eloy last week. vinny, TheAnvil, was in rare hung-over form that morning... in keeping with the highest traditions of the Hollister crew. Vinny should serve as the poster child for an anti-Tequila ad campaign. Yea Vinny! -
I've never seen anyone drink as much tequila as TheAnvil drank when we were doing that coach course. I've seen someone drink more. Vinny at Eloy. As soon as I can take a still off of my video camera, I'll post a shot of Vinny in the plane on the "morning after." He's sooOOOOoooo hung over, it's priceless...

I agree. in spite of andy, there are still many cool people around the DZ. I miss some of those that have left, but new cool people just show up and take their place. It's up to the h-town people that are here now to carry on the fun and the memories so that new folks who show up can join in and continue it. everything goes in cycles, Zac. just be one of the people who stick with it.
