  10. Argh, can't find it at the moment. Somewhere buried in all the cascading list of comments in the original fb post by B. Batignani, there was a link to a photo, I think. But a vimeo link (https://vimeo.com/190054711) was also posted for the jump video and I was able to spot it for just a moment - see attached.found it.

  11. Where did you get the bent pin part? scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  12. Obelix, I take it that it means that you are part of the jumpers who cannot keep a significant heading, level and speed during a roll ? I am not saying it should be used every time, but when things get hairy, my opinion is that an extra tool in the box can save you (or another jumper). scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  13. Barrel rolls are a great tool, you need to be good at them. Unfortunately many belly flyers are not very current for this. Some practice with a Freefly coach can help. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  14. If you are not seeing him/her anytime soon, share it with that rigger and get some liquid compensation sent over to you. And apologies. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  15. would that be a "fun size" shooting then ? or is it too early to talk about guns and shootings.... scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  16. IS The NEW mexico school shooting a mass shooting or just a regular one ? scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  17. Have it fixed, for free, and have a free beer provided by the person who assembled it. It’s a 5 minutes job. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  18. that was unfortunately a very fast downfall scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

  20. There is already such an opening scene in a James Bond movie, GoldenEye. The bungee jump? There have been skydiving and base jumps (Moonraker and The Spy Who Loved Me) and I think this would be a perfect progression.after the bungee jump. Bond misses his plane and jumps from a motorcycle to catch the Porter midair Oh, I never got that far in GoldenEye.that was 5 minutes later. Not very patient, are you ? scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

  22. recently learned that there were 2 Jesus. Jesus and Republican Jesus. See attached picture scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  23. I am aware of the general lack of knowledge. Just organised a Gear knowledge/ maintenance and packing tips seminar. Most attendees weren’t even aware that gear manuals existed. If a customer would like to watch ( and learn) how I inspect and repack his reserve, i gladly show him. If he wants to be there every time i will gladly send him to another rigger. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  24. i think that if you feel the need to supervise à certificated rigger without having earned the title yourself, you are a control freak. If you don’t trust your rigger, find another one, or become a rigger yourself. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  25. WAS it stuck “mechanically “ by the fabric caught under the flaps or was the fabric of the PC stuck to the reserve flaps by sticky cordura? scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
