  1. it must be the stroopwaffels... I am officially complaining that Jarno didn't bring any when he slept at my place. Jarno, next time don't forget the stroopwaffels. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  2. say they try to burgle your car, and you are there. Would you shoot the tyres to stop them, or would you shoot to kill ? If you shoot to kill, how would you then explain it ? would you rather say : -I shot to kill, he deserved it (and I think you don't deserve the right to carry a weapon) or -I shot the tyres/his legs to stop him, but I missed (and I think you don't deserve the right to carry a weapon) scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

  4. if their suits were Toyota's, they would be recalled for "cruise control stuck in full speed" very impressive flight around the Crack
  5. them 2 should get a room. I even found them the place www.lafistiniere.com/ (NSFW) scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  6. maybe that because people using the instruments you mention do not have a planet thrown at their faces at 200km/h scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  7. I think you and I have the same problem, we are on the lower side of the wingloading. The more I load it, the better openings I have
  8. 4-4-50 I'm an "old-schooler", even did my first WK with all the "old gear"... scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  9. I'm too old for that scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  10. but I am SCHwiss, so I did it with a Raketenrohr 80
  11. just under 40. Easier for me to use an analog alti. I actually just "estimate" altitude on the alti, and then go by the colors... Easy for me to switch between Feet and Meter alti's... Color zones are more or less the same scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  12. do you mean "middle-eastern" as in american ? During my rigger course in Eloy last year, one of our teachers made me notice that I, as an european, was the only one to actually close doors and shut the lights out behind me. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  13. I would be glad to lend anyone my vario which would record the whole flight :-) You, Matt, Noah, Roberta and others know where to find me (not far from the top secret place) scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  14. Daniel you should be happy with 50% discount on a brand of suits which exists, and should exist for a while. I know someone who won a discount on a Skyflyer10 (which didn't exist yet) from Birdman, short before they dissapeared scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

  17. I don't know them, but I like the Symbiosis suit, and the Sonix suit

  19. In one way I can partially understand the frustration of winning "a 50% off" vs. winning the Altitrack. Even if the 50%off is a higher value, you still have to cash out half a suit. Suggestion for next time : have a "Prize Table", and have the winners pick whatever they want, then the 2nd, etc etc... If nobody wants the 50% off then maybe the "last of competition" will get it, and everybody will be happy. To the original poster, did you ever organize any kind of competition ? did everything go flawlessly ? was everybody happy with everything ? In the case of this competition, did you try and exchange the prize with someone else ? Maybe one of the altitrack boys would have traded it against your 50% Remember, we are wingsuiters, not Formula1 drivers, footballers or whatever "rich sport" players. You should already be happy you got a 150€ trophy. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
