Cloud Surfing - Solo Cloud Surfing vs flocking
monkycndo replied to DontfallOff's topic in Wing Suit Flying
I said SQUIRREL!!, not Skrl. We get those big beautiful puffies so seldom out here, all dirt dives are forgotten when one comes within range. Just make sure you aren't stacked over bodypilot1, or be ready to get burbled. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity -

I always said this about my father if I was ever caught doing wrong. I would have been safer in jail. Sounds like our dads had the same schooling on raising kids. Way back when, my elementary school sent out permission slips so that we could be paddled as corporal punishment. Dad signed the slip with a large signature and added a note that he would provide the whip. The point was not lost on me. 50 donations so far. Give it a try.

I was considering a new canopy for my wingsuit rig. I asked my PD rep about the Pulse and he said it would have all the traits that I personally was looking for. Flat glide, positive but not hard opening, reliable on heading opening and good flare. When I asked about wingloading, he said the flare power will start to decrease once you start loading it over 1.4:1 requiring a little more running/sliding at the end of the landing. Almost everyone I know that has the Pulse loads it at less than 1.4 and loves the canopy, and the flare it has. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

How come everyone keeps asking me to buy beer?
monkycndo replied to Mothra's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
My initial 6 months of jumping, I brought beer almost every time I went to the DZ. One, because I expected to be doing something for the "pre-second"" time almost every day I jumped. Second, I could buy it cheaper at Costco than the nearby stores, so I had to plan ahead and already had it in the car. And I don't even drink beer. One thing about a cold beer. Once the beer light is on, if you have a question that takes more than a yes/no to answer, you hand over said cold beer to whomever you are about to ask this question, and you have their attention till the bottle is empty. I have learned many tidbits of knowledge this way. And the guy that taught me this only charged one bottle of beer. Thanks Cliff. And if you didn't notice, I never actually said "f1rst" in this post. You will learn other ways to say it so you don't get the beer hounds screeming "BEER"!!!! evertime they hear first uttered. The funny thing is, that once you get in the habit you won't even say it around your whuffo friends. And when they say first, you will screem BEER and they will have no idea why you just did that. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity -

Little did we know Shah was a model for that fairy. Shah, the idea of you taking up sewing is a great idea. Think of how many sub size 6 asian seamstresses you could hit on while taking lessons. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

An update on the boogie. With 6 months still to go, there are already 138 confirmed reservations. If you want to get in on this event, get your deposit in to make sure you will have a cabana. Additional rooms can be added, but first confirmation with the hotel by the event staff is required by Sept 1. If you are a solo reservation, Grimmie can help match you up with another jumper if you don't want to rent the room all by yourself. I just got back from Lost Prairie and the ability to land right by the packing mat was fantastic. For this boogie, manifest and the packing area will be on the grass right next to the beach. Not that I am suffering withdrawls from LP already, but ...... are we there yet? 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

Lost Prairie Boogie 2011 - July 23rd - August 1st
monkycndo replied to Skootz's topic in Events & Places to Jump
How can we forget those squirrels. They were huge and so damn many of them. I have to give Meadow Peak Skydiving some props. A lot of effort was made to keep the traditions intact, while also offering what jumpers expect as part of a boogie. The t-shirt, Saturday dinner, free beer were appreciated. The availability of internet was a plus. The on site medics were great when we had two hard landings, enabling a quick response. Having the usual MadJohn RW organizing is an LP tradition, and having Arsenal there providing coaching/organizing was a huge hit. The school and boogie staff seamed to work well together to make sure the needs of the students and up jumpers were met without sacrificing one over the other. There was a skydiver that went beyond what is considered acceptable behavior(even for boogie standards). He was told to leave and not come back. It feels like MPS wants to create a playground for all of us disfunctional skydivers, but not let it get out of hand. I think they have succeeded. Other than the loss of the LP Lounge, which was not caused by the change in who was operating the boogie, I can see no negatives in the new location. The fact that the event is on private land means the problem of the locals causing havoc did not happen. The Cracks being able to sing without the usual drunk local screaming "show us yer tits" was a first, and a wonderful change. I look forward to the future and expect a bigger attendance as more folks learn of the LP experience. More creature comforts should be completed by next year and should make the LP that much of a better boogie. Just hope I get the same RV slot. It was perfect. 50 donations so far. Give it a try.

Alternative bridle routing/closing method
monkycndo replied to Southern_Man's topic in Gear and Rigging
That routing is often used for wingsuit rigs. With the angle of the PC when it comes out during deployment is more towards the feet than straight up, having the bridle looped under the closing flap towards the BOC makes pin extraction a bit easier. Less chance of the bridle getting stuck over the top of the flap. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity -
The suits were a two piece. They had some patches for 16 way and 24 way. I think a competitors patch for '79 Nats. Instructor/Jumpmaster patch. Don't remember any airshow patches. Also had an RW suit with the pencil thin grippers. The guy said he had some pictures as well. Didn't have any more time to quiz him on the details. Wish I did. 50 donations so far. Give it a try.

If your tent came with those itty bitty wire tent stakes, get some real ones that will hold the tent down when the winds pick up. And bring a small hammer to pound them in/pull them out. I say bring a headlamp instead of flashlight. Leaves your hands free to carry two drinks. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

Lots and lots of entertainment value. That's why we always set up the shade tent with a good view of the landing area. LP, the landing pattern is to land towards the windsock, no matter which way it points. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity -

I'm a little confused. How is the reserve, which you keep referring to, involved with the main riser loop/ hard housing? Your first post had me completely confused until I saw the pictures. But still don't understand how the grommet flipped 180 degrees as you mentioned in your first post. Can you explain which grommet you are talking about? For someone in the sport this long and number of jumps made, I'm a little surprised you don't know the common names of the equipment, since you are so gear safety conscious. Not being able to describe a problem leads to confusion. I have an Infinity and love the rig. I appreciate that you wanted to bring to EVERYONE'S attention that there might be a manufacturing problem with the VSE risers and I thank you for giving a heads up. But badmouthing a company to get your point across just sounds like sour grapes. In all my dealings with VSE, they have always been responsive. 50 donations so far. Give it a try.

You have to hear the story to understand. Oh, I'll bring my racing flats to jump in, just to be safe. Thems bears can be dangerous when they get hungry. But you should be safe if you hide behind a bale of alfalfa. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
