I think it's just that many people have relatively limited budgets, and therefore can't go to every single wingsuit boogie everywhere. The wescoasters usually stay on the west and the eastcoasters usually stay in the east. Oh, and the Europeans move around alot cause everything there is within driving distance. ;) About the arguements, I'm not really sure what to say. After we decided to love all wingsuits regardless of which brand is on the tag, apparently we don't have much to argue about. Maybe we could start a westcoast and eastcoast rivalry like in rap?

IMO, apart from acquiring the technical understanding and skill, that maintaining a careful risk management system with a sustainable threshold level is key. People have differing levels of risk threshold, but only the ones that live to become old jumpers demonstrate a sustainable risk threshold.

Jeanne, So being that NWSkydivers is the dropzone for skydivers, would it be easy to get specialty jumps, specifically night jumps, done there? Thanks. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957 -
Ok, where to begin... I was told by my local PFI that this event was one of the ones to not miss out on, and it did not dissapoint. I got 18 jumps between friday and monday, and the flying experience has raised my flocking skill up a notch for sure. Going into the event I wasn't sure what to expect since I jump at relatively smaller dzs with very few other suits, so flocking is rare, however there were some very experienced pilots there that I gleaned helpful info and tips from so that was cool. I met a bunch of great people like Avery B, Purple Mike, Damien, and Melissa ( http://sportsgal.com/)- who did quite well btw. The jump into the ranch was great, the wine even better. Many thanks to all the participants (I'm not sure if I can list them list all here from the top of my head), hope to see you all back at AOB. Lots of fun, lots of jumps, and for me lots of improvement.

Sam, Is it 'The Price is Right' closest wins rules? I'm gonna go with within 30 jumps, or more specifically 15 jumps. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957

Good thing all the rain was exhausted from the system earlier, now there's nothing but clear skies forecasted for the event.

Last time I saw you at the dz I didn't happen to notice that you wear flair, otherwise I would've applauded you for wearing all the required items of flair that give the dz a more exciting feel to it (like Chachi's or Chilly's). Hold the phone a minute, I just found another meaning of flair, apparently it's not pieces of decoration worn on a restaurant uniform: n, 1. A natural talent or aptitude; a knack: a flair for interior decorating. Well, that explains it for me... so that sentence meant you can get hurt if your natural talent for parachuting sucks.

I wanted to go out there to train on my speed diving. Perhaps we can have a little tournament, then again I guess nobody up there does speed diving anymore oh well, guess I will have to flock. Will try this Saturday but it ain't lookin so hot weatherwise. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957 -

I posted some footage I got from our flights: http://www.skydivingmovies.com/ver2/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=3800 Nothing fancy or elaborate, so pardon the crude editing. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957 -
Jaye, I agree with Tdog's post. You shouldn't automatically qualify or disqualify someone's suggestion based solely on jump numbers, unless you're too tired(lazy?) to investigate the idea and decide for yourself. Not everyone continually and actively learns/researches/investigates the latest ideas as they progress through jump numbers. Many have big numbers, but are not motivated to learn more and thus also have a stagnated understanding and knowledge level. Just my 2 cents, feel very free to leave it.

We're talking about theft, plain and simple, Grand Theft Person in particular. The feable attempts at justifications for theft don't make it any less a crime. Sure you can expect an explaination, sure you can ground him, but once you steal from him you open the door of liability. Perhaps Mr. Lawrocket can help with the technical details, but theft is still theft. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it.

Lodi's an excellent dropzone, been there twice myself. I would be very suprised if you were dissatisfied with their tandem service. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957

Speaking in and regarding the U.S., no. The equipment is not contraband, and the DZO has no claim whatsoever to it, so confiscating could potentially bring up litigation/legal issues.

Proud of your graffiti, I see the characteristic spelling acumen from your online character is spilling over into your real persona. Btw, the hair looks fabulous as usual.. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957

So, James, how's the photo comp. coming along?

I think you should bring her in the bathroom, remind her to lift the seat after she's done, and demonstrate how it's done. Or demonstrate the complex procedure for checking which configuration the seat is in before sitting, cause it really is complex for some people.

In the case that Ted isn't sworn to secrecy, it would be nice if he could share his experience and comparison of the special Vamp and his stock Vamp, even if all he got to do is flocking jumps with it.

Did you check to make sure the slider is sized to the most recent specifications? If it is, and packing methods don't solve it I would say just go up a slider size, while maintaining the same aspect ratio.

In that case it could be true, because that's how I ordered my phantom...not knowing what it looked like or what it would cost, only knowing that eventually I'd have one. If that is the case looks like all the stuff on my 'to get' list (base gear, jumpsuits, other toys, etc) will be immediately superseded.

A couple weeks ago I asked James about giving a general future timeline as to when this might occur, (such as summer, fall, or winter) and he said he was not able to give any. So very highly doubtful, but I guess anything's possible. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957

do a search, there's some minimal info on that company, which went out of business a while back. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957

Yeah, what Ed said. Resources being limited, I would rather attend 2 or 3 local events than only 1 event at the opposite corner of the country. More jumps for the money. ;) "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957

Now I think it's only fair that you owe me a nominal finders fee on behalf of all the enjoyment everyone will get out of this rare find. Payable in beer/pizza of course, thursday. "The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. " -John Galt from Atlas Shrugged, 1957
