  1. FIFY 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
  2. Your new wing loading would be well within what most people consider acceptable. Changing from the 9 cell Sa2 to Pulse or 7 cell Spectre , the flight characteristics will be different in opening speed, glide and flare. And each a little different between the two. Not huge, but enough that you should try and demo them both to find your preference. Both would make excellent WS canopies. Whichever you chose to do first (downsize or WS), be confident in the flying before you make the second change. Splitting your attention between both at the same time is not the best idea. I realize that they involve two different parts of the dive, But knowing how the canopy is opening just by how it feels without having to watch it is a good thing to have when in a wingsuit. Also, you wouldn't want to mistime your flare and get your new wingsuit dirty due to a botched landing. Oh, and don't mind sangi. He really is harmless. Kind of like that little annoying dog that pees on the carpet, barks at anything that scares him, and chases his tail when bored. But we keep him around because he makes us laugh. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
  3. Dude, that tank looks awfully clean. Hope you can get some more road grime on it by Sturgis. Don't want the other folks to think that is a poser rat bike. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
  4. Agreed, mistakes are made, but if there are only 4-5 involved, there should be no reason what so ever to have to turn 180 to create enough separation. If the formation is large enough that you can't maintain awareness of the others, then a well defined break off plan should be part of the dirt dive. That should include proper instruction for those that sink out/can't keep up with the rabbit. But it should never be to turn 180 degrees. 50 donations so far. Give it a try.

  5. Had a family member that wanted to clear his sizable credit card debt. He offered to pay what I was making in interest. He saved a lot of $ and I didn't lose money. Worked out for both of us. A second family member still owes me for money from long ago. Never expect to get it back. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
  6. Turning 180 degrees at the end of a tracking dive should NEVER be done. Even though you think you are the tail of the group, you might not be. If someone behind you is still heading in the original direction and you turn back at them, the closing speed will be deadly if there is a collision. If you believe you are at the tail end of the group, just slow your forward speed to create horizontal separation and sink out. Once you get to deployment altitude, wave off like hell and deploy. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
  7. Actually, by saying that flocking sux, the guy is just hiding the fact that no one would actually want to jump with him. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
  8. On the way to LP. The nylon crack will be available for demo starting Thursday. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
  9. And make sure you purscribe the ones on the cheap list at Walmart. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
  10. I tell tandems that the video will show them a lot of the stuff they missed during the dive. Like the expression on their face. My first was over Playa Del Carmen with a beach landing. Still remember it well, but wish I had shelled out the extra $$ to be able to actually see it again. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
  11. The answer is yes to both questions. I have canopies I lend out and had RSL attachment rings added so the risers would work with right or left RSL. Any decent rigger can add the ring. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
  12. Aggiedave is a swooper that fully admits to downsizing too fast. Gaining skills on a larger canopy is much easier to transfer to a smaller one. That extra nylon over your head allows you time to correct for a mistake. Whether that mistake be yours or the "I gots mad skilz" idiot that cut you off. Do everyone including yourself a favor and don't be that idiot. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
  13. Please read this thread. A 150 at 30 jumps at that wing loading is asking for a negative outcome. A container can have the harness resized. But after reading the above mentioned article, I would hope you would look for a different complete system that is more suited to your current experience. 50 donations so far. Give it a try.

  14. So, is that what Julia looks like? 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
  15. Any helmet that has pads that are tight to your ears will keep the noise down. I actually like the sensory feed back in a WS as it gives me a better idea of my angle of attack due to where the sound is coming from, from in front of me verses from below. What is great is when my decent rate slows and the wind noise goes away.
  16. Get some Bose noise canceling low profile earphones and cut them into your helmet pads. The Gunner has extra room on both sides. And then enjoy the flight. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
  17. Want to reduce noise, fly slower. A lot less noise that way. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
  18. Skydiving with a replacement hip is no big deal. Holding onto the walker in freefall is the hard part. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
  19. Yep, takes a lot of time to make the bike look just the right shade of unwashed. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
  20. Bring a case of cold beer and set it in front of your instructors. Pop one and start asking questions. Everyone wins. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
  21. My dad ran a cable TV company and one of his fondest memories was seeing the moon landing broadcast over his service. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

  23. The "welcome to the neighborhood" is often a list generated by a change of address filed with the post office. I got a bunch of junkmail shortly after I moved the last time. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
