  1. If you're talking about speed, you are right. After flying it, I need new googles! Next time I want to try each one of the high performance wingsuits from each of the manufacturers to see which one really is the fastest.I wanna try to jump all of them in one day. Anyone who wants to do it, lets put somethin together. Faris
  2. If you are talking about BASE jumping, get the EXPERT. A lot of active BASE jumpers in Utah seem to be using the EXPERT, like Gunner, Sport, and Scotty. So if you live in Salt Lake, you should talk to those guys. They know what they are doing. Don't forget to try it out before you buy it.
  3. I usually don't write much on dz.com unless something impresses me. I borrowed a Pro-fly from Cathy and took it with me to Eloy.I had a bunch of suits with me, but I loved this one. I got close to a three minute free fall and I felt I was doing a two way with the skyvan. How did other people who've tried the suit like it? Thanks. Faris
  4. It only took 30 minutes to change a speedwing or paraglider to a skydive canopy. Take a look at this picture. PM me if you any questions. Faris
  5. Just like DSE said, we'll be there. Our group is leaving on Thursday. My wife, daughter and I are going to stop by the Grand Canyon on the way there.
  6. Who's Gary Peek? Is he a real person?
  7. Does anyone know how high the balloon goes for balloon jumps in Eloy and how much it costs to jump from it? Do they let people jump from the balloon with BASE rigs? Or does anyone know who I could contact who might have this information about the hot air balloon? Thanks.
  8. I'm going to try! I think she's ready, so I'm bringing her. Check the attachment.
  9. You guys sound like you are having a lot of fun there. I hope you feel bad that I'm sitting in Salt Lake where it's been snowing for the last two weeks! So post more pictures! Videos!
  10. I'm just wondering how many people use wings designed for ski flying without the skis? In other words, would you ground launch a wing, like the Ozone Bullet, in which the manufacturer recommends skis--without wearing the skis? Feel free to pm me. http://ulrichprinz.de/air/speed/index.html
  11. Here is a website with some good acrobatic video http://www.flyingfever.net/nepal_siv.html This site has some good disucssion on acrobatics: http://www.paraglidingforum.com/alltopics.php
  12. Paragliding manufactueres make nice speed wings. Here is a link to my favorite speed wing--the HellRacer. http://www.liquidair.org.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=77&Itemid=85 It's less than half the price of ground launch canopies.
  13. Alitude 5300ft vertical 300ft This is the south side. North side altitude is 5300 vertical 1200. This is where PD tested the Spire. the new ground launch canopy. Very good place for begnners.
  14. Utah has some of the best ground launching sites and pilots. If you live in Salt Lake, contact Skydive Utah.
  15. Hi Spot, It's just one suit: the tandem master and the student share the suit. The droque will still be deployed 1000-2000 ft before actual pull time. The suit is done and they are still testing it. faris
  16. Hey Baxter, Thanks for making this happen. See you on Sunday! Faris
  17. This is the first time I'm using this forum and it will be the last time. The reason I am using it now is because this is the second time people have told me that someone has apparently mentioned me on this site. What you have said about me is not true. I'm an American citizen, my friends are Americans, my wife is American, and we are expecting a baby soon. It's surprising when someone can go on a public forum and make personal attacks. Utah dropzone just got a new flag with a lot of weight and they wanted to see what parachute we should use with it to do demos. They asked me to fly it. That's all there is to it.
