  2. YEP, several threads on this subject already in : general skydiving, BASE, wingsuit, French forum, Talk Back... If it went to the Oscars, it would get several prizes... I also love the 3D special effects when he swoops the mountain with his wingsuit edited for precision : not 50 ft... between 3-5 meters, which is 10-18 ft ********* btw, it is not the BEST canopy piloting video though, even if the set with the skiers, and the Bec des Rosses part in Verbier are awesome scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  3. do what you are comfortable with. I would say no need to change. Just don't forget. The same as not forgetting to stow your brakes or open your slider... my 2 cents If you think you are not "ready" to learn a new thing, change it. The price has nothing to do with the safety. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

  8. I got a 38... but still think I am "quite" conservative... willing to learn more though. not pretending that I AM INVINCIBLE or THE BEST or saying that thiskindoftestmeansnothingbecauseI'mabovethat... got warned by the test, I'm in the Risk area, so I'll do my best to avoid risks. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  9. there is a closer and cheaper DZ from where I live, but I don't want to fly on their planes... I just want to do 1 jump there for the scenery, but the day they get a new plane. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  10. hey tiger, better to have a soft opening canopy than a hard opening canopy. The spectre openings are soft, but not too long... My Saphire2 usually opens on approx 300m (close to 1000ft !!) but I know it, and do not tend to pull low. Think you got many pieces of good advice from people like Billvon, Skybytch etc... Now GO JUMP Stay safe, have fun. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

  25. I am not an AFFI might go for a try in that situation... But if I can't manage to help I hope his Cypres fires... I heard of a technique for that kind of case but I'm almost sure I dont have the skills to do it... You have to get under the student so he's in your depression...
