You have 2,500 jumps, you jump in Deland and you do not have a clue about what a negative recovery arc is (which is the biggest difference between the vengeance and the stilleto). I watch a 3,000 jump skygod (aff instructor) toggle whip his cross braced canopy too low every weekend. Who am I to tell him. The jump number vs canopy type/size thing has been going around and around here and there have been a lot of arguments already. Too bad there is no objective way to prevent these fatilites other than peer pressure. Maybe you could post something constructive other than continuing the bitch session. But what do I know at only 900 jumps. bloo skies ramon "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.

I keep Dav'es insanity sauce around when I want to add heat to somehting. You can dip a toothpick in it then touch your tongue and it will burn. the other sauces that are hotter are pretty silly as they are variations of pure capsaicin that is chemically extracted from peppers. Calling them a "sauce" is ridiculous. They are more like a "raw ingredient" for a sauce.. i.e they are hotter than pure habanero and really just a novelty or for adding tiny bits to a huge pot of chili for heat.

I guess it all depends on if a single reporter has the balls to get a story and if the editor lets them run it. Anytime the US is involved in somehting major it is definitely good to read as many sources as possible from other parts of the world (especially neutral countries if you can find one ).

Good. Quick recap: Earlier this winter. President of CNN sends out memo telling CNN USA to stop mentioning anything having to do with civilian casualties in Afganistan. Being in Abu Dhabi at the time and getting BBC CNN international and CNN USA. I could see the difference in the coverage. it's propaganda. Also the CNN coverage of Israel and Palestine was different from BBC and of course differnet than the "Gulf News" (opposite extreme). Corporate media has no "reporting" ethics.

The are whore houses all over the place and like a dozen adult stores and strip clubs, and 2 head shops between my office and my house (5 miles down Westheimer in Houston). But they are going to arrest a "fun party " girl. hahaha A month ago the cops raided a K-mart parking lot (supposedly a street racing sting) and arrested 400 high school students for loitering on a Friday night. they also arrested an 11 year old girl who was with her dad at the same K-mart when she got separated from her pop in the "Round up".

You should want to be informed on all fronts otherwise all you have is the information fed to you by multi national corporations and the Whitehouse pressroom. ramon "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.

Dave are you trolling ok. a canopy has a certain angle of descent in full un bothered flight. If you hook a stilleto very hard it will plane out at a shallower angle than the angle of descent (maybe even a flat glide or surf) this is called a positive recovery arc. (if the angle of descent is -10 below horizontal this may be -1 or 0 degrees) Samurais and jedeis and vengeances do the opposite albeit only slightly. after a hard dive they recover to a slightly steeper mode of flight than full flight (this would be a slight dive). Usually a slight toggle bump is required to change the angle of attack on the canopy and change to direction to a flat glide or surf...(if the angle of descent is -10 below horizontal then maybe it recovers to a -11 or -12). the purpose is that if you hook to high you do not plane out 10 ' above the ground, have the stilleto run out of speed then surge foward to the ground with little flare and hurt your ankles. A vengeance will slowly continue descent on it's own till you apply toggles to level out the surf. that is all that is meant, and that phrase "negative recovery arc" is used by John Leblanc at PD and Brian Germain "Big Air Asports".

I don't base but a bunch of my skydiving buddies do. They are always talking about this and that, and I ask questions etc about the gear (vents tailgates and so forth), but I sort of miss the picture. Your article about gear was really interesting to me. I am curious about one thing. In the Base competition in Malaysia last year a saw a bunch of pictures (possibly team Ill Vision) all opening very close to each other. Is this a common occurence among "fun" base jumpers doing 2 ways etc to have openings that close to each other (planned or un planned)? thanks ramon "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.

that was really funny. ramon "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.

puhleeze. I've jumped both at the same wing loading they are pretty damn similar. minor differences in toggle pressure, aspect ratio, and recovery arc (both have negative arcs). Samurai is zippier in the toggles and Vengeance is more divey in the front risers and has tighter brakes. that is about it which ever one swoops 5 feet further had a better approach or wind luck. I don't need to cut and paste from PD and Brian to know the differences "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.

how do you know if there is a pilot your party? they'll tell you "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.

If you do a search in this forum you will find a ton about those canopies. 1. Vengeance has lighter riser pressure and a steeper glide than a stilleto. It has a higher aspect ratio and dives very hard. I consider it a good practice for an fX as it will train you to turn higher. They surf far and are easy to land slowly if the need arises. It opens briskly but softly (no snivel and wham or forever snivel, just a progressive opneing). They do tend to turn on opening as one side inflates before the other. I love mine (it is my big canopy at 1.7). By the way a vengeance can sneak up on you and plant you if you turn too low (i turn my big 135 at 350') 2. Samurais are good canopies but take some getting used to the deeper flair. They are capable of surfing as far as a vengeance but require a little more skill in wringing out the distance. They open ok but tend to be a little more squirrly than the vengeance. They are a very good canopy in the hands of a pilot that really knows them and they are capable of flat turns better than a vengeance. They have a flatter glide and med/light riser pressure but don't dive quite like a vengeance. They are capable of turning just as high, it just is easier to get really steep in a vengeance. Velocity.....very nice. jump one of the others first and they will prepare you. It is un forgiving if you have a stilleto hook height really dialed in as a habit. they have hard riser pressure and demand accurate set up for your turn. they harness turn nicely and dive very hard. not a beginner canopy. If I were to buy abrand new canopy I would probably get one in place of my VX (which I love too) P.S. I like a vengeance beter than a samurai, but you should definitely consider a competition cobalt as I feel it is ever so slightly superior (light riser pressure, flat glide, thin airfoil). unless you really want airlocks. opinions are like assholes... ramon "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.
