Peavey did it for several years, and even put it on both the Bromberg and Sarzo basses at one time. Been around for a long while, but this is a good product demo. Have you heard what Neil Zaza is doing with some of this stuff? His brother is a wingsuiter on this forum.

We've used http://www.aaacredit.net/ for employee screening, they do tenant reports but I don't know the quality of that aspect of their services.

That's not a V4.... And that's scary video. Aside from the inlet issue that's fairly obvious, what is the experience level?

as the story says, there was no note. re; falling/jumping... people jump out of planes all day long, but news reporters say "fell to his death" in most stories. It is not known for sure if he jumped, but it is known for sure that he fell, whether it was intentional or not. And no, I do not believe Navarre is disagreeing with the medical examiner.

Perhaps easier still (and the current rule) is wear whatever suit you want, must wear same suit for all events, and no weights. Same end result, less hassle for judges, clean and simple. If someone wants to move to a different class after completing all tasks in one event, that should be fine too.

All good ideas. I propose we wait for another 5-10 years before worrying about it. What we know as wingsuits today will change dramatically over the next couple of years, and dramatically again in another couple of years. Some of the super cool technology that's just now getting to wingsuit design is really exciting. So...if we worry about this stuff now, we might be setting ourselves up for a problem in a few years. Status quo isn't entirely equal, but there are ways to mitigate the big advantages...suit class is currently the easiest way to do that, IMO.

It's more fun if you request the groping vs scanning. I've gone through the scanner once and was asked about the metal in my body. I considered that an invasion. It's more fun to be groped in public as Dougie mentioned, while making comments that make them uncomfortable. Just tell them you'd like a "male assist." Depending on the airport (Hartsfield is great at this) they'll proceed to yell "Male Assist!" up and down the line, and then attempt to make you feel small. Don't whisper, speak up as you say: "I kinda like this, it's the closest thing to sex I've had today." "You'll fantasize about me tonight, won't you?" "mmmmmmmmmm......that's NICE!" "I've thought about being a TSA officer, I'd love the opportunity to legally grope men all day long." "While you're there, would you mind scratching....?" "My girlfriend/wife over there, she likes to watch me with other men." Leave a tictac or mint in your pocket. It really bothers them when you don't have EVERYTHING including your ticket, out of your pocket. Then invite the TSA officer to fish it out himself. They are now required to tell you what the pat down entails; it's part of the intimidation process. They no longer allow you to simply say "I understand all that" before they're done with their spiel. Have fun with it. It's still better than going through the scanner and can be a source of amusement. They're just doing their job, but that doesn't mean you need to meekly submit.

We're so far down the food chain for the FAA, it'll stay status quo for a while. The sad part is that we've lost a guy who was a diver driver for a period of time, and at least could empathize with anything brought before them. Michael Huerta will likely replace him, and I'm sure the USPA will get along just fine with him. He's got some political affiliations to go along with his resume that make him a prime candidate for the job, but mentioning those will put this thread directly in to SC

There really isn't an efficient way to do this that I can see. We considered weight classes for the Performance Cup, it was heavily discussed by several people. While it can be broken up into weight classes, the heavier guys will just wear bigger suits. Smaller guys might still wear the bigger suits. Or super heavy guy wearing a small suit. Soon, you have a series of classes with only two, maybe three wingsuiters in the class. There just aren't that many wingsuiters out there. It makes judging more difficult as well. Yes, height and weight make a big difference. Pounds per square foot being identical, it's a level comp. However, the likelihood of getting people within reasonably equal wingload ratios for a competition are pretty slender. The obvious step is to have the lighter guys wearing big suits put on weights. However, where the weight needs to go isn't around the waist, so how to deal with that particular complication? Overall, it simply becomes way too complex for the number of potential competitors in the pool, to break it down into height, weight, suit size.

Then the MainConcept MP4 templates are what you want to be using. It's kinda kludgy/slow in V9, .mp4 was just getting off the ground for common use when 9 was released. Use the MainConcept template, press the Custom button, and set the parameters as you see in this screenshot. This is from VMS 10, I don't have 9....

what the paralog rules call for, what safety allows for, and what is practical are not always the same thing. The way that at least a couple of these have been run is one downwind run, one upwind run. At at least one comp, I'm told there were 40-50mph tailwinds at altitude.

let's start this process again, as it's very clear you're confused about formats, especially in terms of quicktime and such. Where do you want to deliver this video? is it going to the internet, or to a DVD containing HD for playback on a Blu-ray device?

You're the second or third person to bring this up, and it has been discussed as being part of the Performance comp at the April event (the day before the Artistic competition). Get out higher, measure the sustained rate I agree, get out, get flying within a few hundred feet, and see what can be sustained. This is the reason we put exit altitude at 11K; to reduce the advantage of a 2K dive. Tweaked Lurch a bit, but it seems to be more fair, and definitely more of a competitive approach.

It's a good idea to wait on a full face until he's got more experience; the Revolve makes this an ideal choice.

I would submit that no mammal can adjust their bodies like we can, other than perhaps flying Skwrls, and since flying skwrls can't speak English, they can just fuck off when it comes to using terms of avionics. And I'll continue to refer to "barrelon roils" as barrel rolls, and ass-burble reverse flips as "Backloops" cuz even the most ignorant, dumbass student from Bilgewater, Nebraska understands what I'm talking about. I despise the sophisticated nomenclature by a brobdingnagian cunning linguist using morphologically complex words to describe really simple, everyday things. All this disambiguation is one huge pandiculation, positively antedeluvian, and moreover, superannuated.

Saturday 8am-7pm EMBA class, left with my brain the consistency of a soft boiled egg. Went with a girl I'm seeing to NYC to see " Bodies and Conversations in the Dark." " Bodies" is amazing if you love anatomy and biology. And you wish to feel superior to people in China. Now I have to redo the paper I worked on Saturday evening for it does not match up to my instructors "expectations" dumb ass dumb-ass my team name is "Team led lead paint chip" what part of underachiever don't you freaking get! We are graduating in the worst economy since the great depression and you want us to give a flaming rats ass? But hey i'm alive and compared to those fucktards on that new show "Virgin Diaries" I'm a PERSIAN GOD! I'm constantly amazed at the creative ways you can use "Fuck" as an adjective, adverb, noun, passive/active...but you can't spell "dumb-ass" or "lead." Get an educmication, will ya? Coming out of the closet will reduce your angst. I just wish that engineering majors in this country would take more English classes, lord knows they need it. It certainly might improve some of what should be simple skills for an engineer later in life, especially their reading comprehension of the language they are attempting to use. Hell it might even make them less socially inept !!! You're right, of course. Another point...imagine where the world would be if papers written on Saturday night met Shah's "expectations" rather than the instructor's "expectations?" Thank heaven for standards.

In the medical world "Pussy" means having a lot of pus. In the animal world "Pussy" means kitty cat" In the porn world "Pussy" means woman parts In the skydiving world "Pussy" means those that don't wingsuit at night. Thank god we're not aviators, so we don't have to abide their definitions.

Great. May likely mean that Randy Ottinger now gets to "train" another federal official with regards to skydiving.

Add a little gaff tape to help deflect a potential line snag and you're getting somewhere. Tilt the camera up more, or you'll be getting a lot of your helmet in the frame

My mistake. Movie Studio is version 9C, Platinum (same thing) is 9B. You've got a few processes going on, but nothing that's a pig. As Phree said, you're likely rendering to an uncompressed format. What is your desired output format? .mp4? mpg2 for DVD?

I'd take the next step by installing 9c. I doubt it's the 32bit version giving you grief. You're SURE nothing is running in the background? Your answer doesn't give me a lot of confidence you looked at the Processes.

You have the latest updates? VMS had some issues with AVC that weren't fixed for a couple updates. Also, be sure you kill background processes like MSN, etc. There can be a lot eating RAM even when it appears nothing is running.

Put preview to Preview/Auto. Set your dynamic RAM to 0. Which version of Vegas?
