i think its possible to control that well. but maybe im just delusional and have never been closer than 200' to the ground in a WS
-
as in, on purpose? (i figured he would not hit the ground)

i completely respect your willingness to keep the value in original artworks. your talent impressed me a lot. however, since the copy you posted is fairly high res, I copied it, and am making prints to sell for my own profit. sucks for you thanks... annibal will hopefully see this thread!!!

he 'scraped' the mountain in a wingsuit!?!? sick. just SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
uh, careful. they put those things on crash test dummies as well! yeah... I have a really good freind who was a F-4 pilot nd he makes fun of me constantly. well, the CTD symbol works as well for me in the last 2 years.

what are you asking for for a 68" print?

i dont have pics, but a few of you have seen my CG (center of gravity) tattoos. Airplane plans/example drawings have a symbol (attatched) that marks the center of mass, or center of gravity. I spent about 2 hours in my packed BASE rig, with a good freind meauring my exact center of gravity while wearing a rig. any pilots or mechanics understand how important the CG of a flying/rotating object is. I marked it, then went to the tat place, and had them tattoo a CG symbol about 4cm diameter on my pitch and yaw axis in respects to a wingsuit. (roll would be on the top of my head or my quach) Ill take a pic and post them sometime, im in bed half asleep though. its cool, i imagine throwing a flip off a big fat rock and my body rotating around the cross point of my CG tattoos. its not a huge multi-colored A and weird people falling off, but its what i wanted, and it means a lot to me. i spent a lot of time designing my first flying machine... me...

I actualy agree there... I was scouting some lower high wind rigs on Maui HI, and they were brand new. got some scary looks from the crews up there. especialy if you know the story behind teh Hawaiian natives Guvments and companies protect these things with a lot of motivations. that much preciesion-built super expensive equipment has to carry a paranoid bunch of owners...
-
hmmm... i dont know about that. there are a lot of door options on most jump-cessnas this pic might be a 205, but our 206 has a cabin door as well (not a cargo/jump door) -SPACE-

I carry 2 cards, both 2gb. i have never formatted either. i dont know how everyone else does it, but i carry a card reader and just take the pics off the card, after removing it from cam. so, i just delete all pics from card. why do we need to reformat ever? after 23,000ish shots, never had a problem. canon rules.

paypall is alwya nice, but it costs a little -SPACE-

i took care of it. i posted that i was going to feed him his balls, sushi style.
-
brilliant! i need to show annibal that. i hope she looks here more than once every 3 months.
-
i still think that 4' bridals are a bad idea. the burble comes into effect. it has to. i will test it at potato this summer. rope huck style.
-
ahh... well then. i withdraw my disagreement.
-
hesitation as in the PC does not inflate right away? or it does not have ful drag right away but is fully inflated.
-
i kinda dissagree. im weird and i dont really believe that PC hesitations are random. i think they are only caused by the jumpers wake(burble) a 4' bridal, (in my opinion) would make these 'random' hesitaions a lot more frequent. we should be testing this stuff on a rope jump...
-
already planned the tests man. i was thinking more doing my rope jumps (i have a computer-linked load cell), so i can measure pull force and stuff. and totaly theory. greeny man, if your really doing that stuff that low, thats sweet. i really want to see footy of that and get your results. i dont want to do it, it just fascinates me.
-
exactly.
-
you sleep as much as me obviously. a burble starts if an object is moving. period. i agree it will be much much less at zero airspeed, but the risk is not worth 5' in my opinion. the length of the burble? i dont know. the burble is zero at time zero, but that does not matter. from zero time on the jump to line stretch on the canopy is at least a second. the PC wont stay at exit altitude. i would guess that a 4' bridal and 9' bridal would produce very different pull forces in the first 30' of a jump. no matter the jumper postion. this along with the no PC SL scare me. i never thought of myself as a conservative jumper when it comes to rigging. (packing in 15 min? my good one might be 20mn) but hey, gear risk for a jump like that does not make me wet.
-
haha... yeah. annes says that. but she also specifies that she is NOT a groupie!, she is a band-aid. groupies are fair game.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nj0ri4PG-i4&mode=related&search= it is growing extremely fast. it is also called 'kite-winging', there ar several different designes. Its fun as hell.

my lowest is 180' dagger 222, 42" unvented, warlock (pin) rig, plenty of time. well, if 4 seconds is plenty of time. ------------4' BRIDAL!!!!!????????????????? dude, no, 9'. 9. even in feet down position, your wake will effect a PC.
-
are you fucking kidding me??? BASE groupies kick ass!!!! i know a girl that comes with us all the time, just to watch. she will never do it. in her myspace profile it reads "Vicarious BASE jumping"... if thats not a BASE fan, i dont know what is. a lot of them are super hot. gotta watch out though, keep your distance... a lot of BASE groupies carry the crotch crickets.

live meaning your not dead. and by possible i would say that a jumper with 200^' f111 vented canopy(pin rig you hosers) and 46"pc packed slider off with no primary stow, nose wraped around plackjob, no tailgate or other reefing, jumper exit and fall in feet down position with thrown up PC would walk away 50% of the time. thats just a guess. vents add a little weight to parachute (extraction-line stretch time), no matter what size. but if they are there, the canopy is not just pressurised faster, (even with vents, it would not be flying at 100' FF) it is a larger (if slightly) projected area, as in the first stage of open slider down canopy, its essentialy a round. so i dont know about vents/no vents. -SPACE-
