  2. http://imaginate.redbull.com just incredible, doing all the dream things kids imagine... for real
  3. Sita Lane can coach you at least for angle flying.
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. but I guess it is one of the ground hungriest canopy around. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  8. NEOS and Crossfire are NOT crossbaced canopies. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  9. 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
  10. ever read the "last night a Cypres saved my life" thread started by some videoperson of this forum ? scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  11. just ordered 19 of them. We'll see how it goes
  12. I would share everything, including boobies
  13. 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
  14. Snoop Lion scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  15. like the camber of the banana or the diameter of the eggs ? Europe at it's finest scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  16. Fuck. I thought my video was scary I wish the jumper a good healing There is a reason we are taught to locate handles before pulling scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  17. wasn't there a guideline against crossposting scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  18. 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
  19. errrrr... actually the ground is the limit scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  20. they are not punishments, they are consequences for your actions scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  21. 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
  22. 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
  23. 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
  24. there is no picture attached scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
