Sita Lane can coach you at least for angle flying.

none till now, but the exit is a "long" and well thought process. You don't just get to the door and jump out scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

These wings are designed to be jumped from a Porter. Sure you can't fit 8 people anymore, but I recall being 5 in the Porter with Yves and the white wing. It is a tight fit, but still... Better in a Twotter, best in a Skyvan scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

Canopy Manufacturers' Role in Rapid Downsizing
piisfish replied to NWFlyer's topic in Safety and Training
My opinion is that the team should have been sponsored Safires. That would have been coherent with the manufacturers canopy type guidelines. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM -

High perf landings and wanting to be selfish
piisfish replied to sundevil777's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
the activity in itself is pretty selfish.... Even if we kept the activity to plain vanilla dirt diving, someone would get hurt... The disturbing thing is that some people do get well over their heads, in any part of the sport. We can accept accidents, they happen. But some people do crash and burn because they have strictly no business doing what they are doing. And this is much harder to accept. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM -

BMFin, if you go to Empuriabrava, ask for Nigel Holland. He is the jumper in the video. He would be able to explain scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

I dropped my rig at an unknown (to me) rigger. ONCE. I then had to redo all the work myself. There was no extra work to the I+R, but it was already too expensive. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

stowless/semi-stowless bags are not all created equal. Plus the opening condition of your riser covers do also come in play. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

I'm going to count your reply as a vote to disappoint the guy who needed his rig. The score so far is: work 0, disappointment 2. Mark You can count me in the WORK score. Actually I have 1 rigger who would do the work if small, and get hold of me for bigger work (Mister Colin Thompson working in Empuriabrava), my other riggers would only do the repack and/or very minor work. I do trust Colin A LOT, for me he is a rigger of the third type. You know Senior Riggers and Master Riggers. To me he is a Jedi Rigger. Not only I find he doesn't charge MUCH for work (I+R are rather expensive though if you "only" need a repack), but when I go to his place, my "old" rigs come out as good as new. Plus he always spends LOTS of his time to explain what he did and why he did it. Even if I don't have work to give him, I always make sure to pay him a visit for a quick hello, and he always makes sure I get out of his loft 1 hour later, and more educated. And this from way before I had any interest in rigging. Some other riggers, I wouldn't let them even repack my main or change a bungee on my dbag. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

Why isn't there an AAD with adjustable firing altitude?
piisfish replied to tsf's topic in Safety and Training
not really. The affect on the "higher altitude" would be correct. Not the one on the "lower" altitude. Cypres for example will not fire under around 50m. This will also change relative to your 0. Also Vigils used to save you when you went under the surface. You would now be landing below the ground you gave to your AAD. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM -
