  1. Good luck with that!!! My cousin started skydiving because like you, he wants to fly wingsuits. I told him to forget about wingsuiting for now, and that everytime he asks a wingsuit question I was gonna add 10 jumps to the 200 requisite. As of today he has around 80 jumps, but he will need about 350 before I teach him. Yep, thats a plan. And dont forget to read forums and ARTCLES haha HISPA #93 DS #419.5
  2. steps to wingsuit flying: 1. forget about wingsuit flying 2. finish aff 3. make 193 regular skydives mixing all disciplines and having fun 4. remember about wingsuit flying 5. ask again HISPA #93 DS #419.5
  3. http://news-hound.net/january-4th-2014-planetary-alignment-decreases-gravity-float-for-5-minutes/ So how long from 13,500? Is it even real? HISPA #93 DS #419.5
  4. So today you created a youtube account and a dz.com account just to post this? Why would there be a headdown reserve deployment?...that was the cutaway handle. Anyway, the "cali pricks", the ones affected directly by this, they moved on and removed the videos. Why do you insist? Being an internet bully is worse than what he did. Turn the page already.

  5. hes not asking for advice ..he just wants to know what we think about those 2 methods...jeesuzz! ive tried both too. for me, pushing together seems to untwist faster when the twist is up in the lines. when the twists are on the risers, i pull them appart. i also kick in both methods. anyway thats my first response, if it doesnt do anything, i change HISPA #93 DS #419.5
  6. What they say, but it doesnt apply with smaller canopies... 1:1 on a 190 is not the same as 1:1 on a 120 HISPA #93 DS #419.5
  7. If we ride up to 6000' and decide to not jump, we get charged for a hop n pop...if we pass 6000' we pay full price. HISPA #93 DS #419.5
  8. I'll be there...last 3yrs have been awesome! HISPA #93 DS #419.5
  9. Couple years ago launching a 4way from the step of a 182, one of the jumpers bootie got caught in the front corner of the step. He was hanging there upside down, and after a couple of minutes the pilot had to cut the suit with a knife to set the jumper free. I know there is video from the hanging jumpper's view but I cant find it. This is the pilot version right after landing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmS8YBAb2HM HISPA #93 DS #419.5
  10. YES!....Thank you! HISPA #93 DS #419.5
  11. My CReW experience is....2 jumps! haha And all I remember is the communication part. But to me, the top guy cutting away first makes no sense at all. What if he doesnt clear the entanglement? Then you'll have 2 people wrapped in lines going back in freefall, and a wasted good canopy. If bottom guy cuts away first, the top person keeps flying his canopy and has a chance to untangle himself without the load of the bottom guy. I think the people in this video got lucky they didnt made it worse. Again, my CReW experience is nada and I'll be happy to stand corrected. Can a experienced dog chime in? HISPA #93 DS #419.5
  12. Did you meant 1200' ? Because at 120', holding on its the only option. HISPA #93 DS #419.5
  13. Looks like the top guy chopped??!!...the one with the good canopy HISPA #93 DS #419.5
  14. It's been done, I dont think its fake. I've seen videos of this kind of jumps. With someone on top pole riding like in this picture, another jumper hanging under the passenger like a hybrid, and several stingers docking everywhere. HISPA #93 DS #419.5
  15. Honest question. What if.....you have a spinning mal like this case, and you happen to see canopies flying under you. Do you chop and risk having a freefall colision? Or wait till you are level with them before chopping?...given you have altitude to wait, ofcourse. HISPA #93 DS #419.5
  16. my 100th was a sunset tracking beach jump with beer waiting in the landing area HISPA #93 DS #419.5
