    I've heard (i have too low experience to have seen it myself, yes) that the organisation during a world record in thailand told jumpers that if they were above the sea with wind parallel to the beach, they had to fly perpendicularly to the beach. It is the shortest path relatively to the ground... but not relatively to the air mass. I guess that's what your drawing is about?

    By the way, do you have a good technique to look right beneath the plane, whatsoever pitch it has? I have been taught to look at the horizon, have it really horizontal and get my eyes to follow a path perpendicular to the horizon until I reach under the plane. It's hard to say if it works fine, of course. Any other idea? "We call on the common man to rise up in revolt against this evil of typographical ignorance." http://bancomicsans.com

    If not a good tool for skydiving, that might be a new interesting sport :) Have a tunnel with water flow instead of air, and a rope to tie you down to what would be the net in an wind tunnel. I wonder if the energy necessary for such a water flow would be similar to the energy that a wind tunnel requires. I guess it would need less energy, but what do I know...

    That's probably a repost, but it matches the subject so well... What do you do when the tandem student "f*cking hates you"?

    Mirrors are so 20th century... Get a couple of these ultrasound distance sensors behind your helmet and have them beep according to the distance to obstacle! Disclaimer: this is irony. Actually I thought the mirror idea was also irony, but i seem to be alone of this opinion.

    I've been taught: broken brake line -> you can land it any other line broken -> you chop. "We call on the common man to rise up in revolt against this evil of typographical ignorance." http://bancomicsans.com

    "Case" is also a name that the manifest might like :) Or "weather break". "We call on the common man to rise up in revolt against this evil of typographical ignorance." http://bancomicsans.com

    Max has landed

    For God's sake, where's the helmet?? I guess he's a good candidate for the kekette flyers' team... "We call on the common man to rise up in revolt against this evil of typographical ignorance." http://bancomicsans.com

    What about chopping the helmet? "We call on the common man to rise up in revolt against this evil of typographical ignorance." http://bancomicsans.com

    How many inches is that? Sorry stupid American (me) dont know what 4000meters iz.. Here you are: http://www.google.se/search?hl=en&q=4000+meters+in+inches&btnG=Google+Search (it could of course give it in feet as well) "We call on the common man to rise up in revolt against this evil of typographical ignorance." http://bancomicsans.com

    No, i forgot the best one: http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-GB%3Aofficial&hs=esE&q=answer+to+life%2C+the+universe+and+everything&btnG=Search&meta= "We call on the common man to rise up in revolt against this evil of typographical ignorance." http://bancomicsans.com

    for conversions, google is great: http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-GB%3Aofficial&hs=EnE&q=50+fahrenheit+in+celsius&btnG=Search&meta= http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-GB%3Aofficial&hs=SoE&q=3540+feet+in+meters&btnG=Search&meta= Even complex ones: [url]http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-GB%3Aofficial&hs=2mE&q=12+celsius+kPa+in+kelvin+N+per+square+meter&btnG=Search&meta= [/url] It would be impressive to automatically change the strings "ft" and "feet" in all posts to links where the numbers written just before are translated to meters...

    Do people remove their booties before landing?? "We call on the common man to rise up in revolt against this evil of typographical ignorance." http://bancomicsans.com

    I think this should applied to ski resort. I'm tired of the slow lift systems :) "We call on the common man to rise up in revolt against this evil of typographical ignorance." http://bancomicsans.com

    nope http://www.l-and-b.dk/optima.html "We call on the common man to rise up in revolt against this evil of typographical ignorance." http://bancomicsans.com

    I think it is forbidden in UK (could someone confirm?). "We call on the common man to rise up in revolt against this evil of typographical ignorance." http://bancomicsans.com

    The one that manages to do a banzai jump from 3000ft wins over the one who did from 4000ft. The record would be "The man that did a banzai jump from the lowest altitude". But if you read 10,000, then I was wrong. "We call on the common man to rise up in revolt against this evil of typographical ignorance." http://bancomicsans.com

    I've heard of that, but I thought that they were competing on the lowest exit altitude. "We call on the common man to rise up in revolt against this evil of typographical ignorance." http://bancomicsans.com

    not my chute, not my camera, but here's a nice shot: http://www.blahimmelblogg.se/index.php?showimage=194# "We call on the common man to rise up in revolt against this evil of typographical ignorance." http://bancomicsans.com

    You have a camera on your helmet at jump 35? Is that really authorized? "We call on the common man to rise up in revolt against this evil of typographical ignorance." http://bancomicsans.com

    Really? Why? Do you mean that the front and rear risers are forced closer to each other? By the way, I feel that I could get my slider down to behind my neck without actually collapsing it. Is it stupid? "We call on the common man to rise up in revolt against this evil of typographical ignorance." http://bancomicsans.com

    I have one, but I haven't tested anything else, so I cant give advice. But if you get one, be sure to fasten your audible to it (I use a thread that goes from the audible to the point where the strap starts under the foam). I lost a two jumps old pro-track a week before the landing zone got mowed... As for the fall from 4000ft, I am not surprised. The Z1 is light, couldn't get to fall really fast.

    I used mostly review from http://www.silentpcreview.com/ . Didn't want an airplane in the room. "We call on the common man to rise up in revolt against this evil of typographical ignorance." http://bancomicsans.com
