  2. holy thread resurrection.. You replied to MY post (Lazyfrog was my previous screenname..)
  3. thanks for the video Chris. Good thing to forward it to the people who will be organizing safety days in Switzerland.
  4. who are you ? I remember you well, even remember talking to you over the phone
  5. maybe the OP only jumped Stilettos with "old-school" brake settings, like super short. I jumped 3 different ones, of different owners, and always landed with brakes between belly and chest. A hip level would fullstall the canopy scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  6. and then you see people do the "drop & kick back " when they take their rig off scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  7. YES, you have to run or walk your landing if : -your speed is too high to just stand up -your speed is too low for your shoes to slide (speed varies depending on the soles and shape of shoes, landing surface, how much weight you put on the shoe) scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

  10. I would be tempted to say : buy a cheaper but still comfortable helmet, spend your money on more jumps. Once you have the jumpnumbers for video, figure out if you have the skills. Do a couple more jumps. And THEN start looking for video equipment and helmet scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  11. I guess your profile is not updated with 100 jumps, but still I believe that you should make a choice... Learn to swoop or learn to wingsuit. I would advise first learn to wingsuit. LOTS. Then when you will want to ridiculously downsize, you might be heads-up enough to find that your previous intentions were not the best. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  12. a sweet mix between Brian Germain's (and similar) chart, and the Dutch system with canopy types and models would be the "best" in my opinion. This norwegian proposition seems oversimplified. The french system is very strict/conservative for example, and at 600 jumps, you can go for Luigi's JVX36 Edit to add : and what about enforcing plain common sense ? And have DZO's, S&TA's (or local similar) just refuse some canopies to people who want to jump something they can't technically afford ? scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

  15. so, it is not a chemtrail, not a departing missile, might not be extraterrestrial.. so what is it ? Is it JArno to "celebrate" the end of WingsuitNews.com in style ? nederlandvanboven.vpro.nl/ufo-boven-de-waddenzee.html whatever it is, it is cool

  20. WWWWWWWWN, you suck. Still love you Le Fish scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  21. in France it is 15 years old. Switzerland 16 rather young indeed in my opinion, and not for every 14-16 year old... but not for every 30-40 years old either scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
