Many tandems instructors flies their canopy like that with students so I don't see how it is dangerous. Many swoopers at the end of their switch blade or miracle man will opt to grip the toggles like that since it takes time to put the hand thru the toggle. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

Can we please use a term besides "tracing" for angle flying/atmo/whatever?
stayhigh replied to grue's topic in Freeflying
I've never been on a tracing jump, ever. Nor I ever wanna be on it. I have been on couple Atmo jumps couple years back and all of sudden same exact shit were being called "flocking" at our DZ. So yeah now I have bunch of HD flocks, feet flocks, and belly and back flocks. I saw and heard wingsuiters using the same terminology but I'm pretty sure they copied it from cool freefliers. Now the newest thing is dynamics??? so still same shit as flocking but adding eagle-ing elements to it. Bernie Sanders for President 2016 -
Has anyone with Curv experienced reserve flap not staying closed while sit flying?? Or not staying closed at all during any type of flying? Bernie Sanders for President 2016

Now you wanna go back to using the term atmo?? Bernie Sanders for President 2016 -
I'd say get good at flying in tunnel first, get good enough to share time. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

best bet would be getting mx with op 126 and cramm 119 for the time being. And you better downsize quick because shoving 119 worth of material into 107 bag would get old quickly. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

MT can fit any from velo 84 to katana 120. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

Small sized wing-suit having leg wings that extends out to somewhere around shin and Large having leg wings that extends beyond the foot and medium size somewhere in between the two. And it be super helpful if you can also state the jump number when you first flew one and if you can share and explain your most difficult part of flying a wing suit.

Does orange, lime yellow, pink canopies really keeps you safe??? or do they just get faded and bleached out faster than any other color?? Last two entanglement I've seen, one had lime green and the other had orange. Color doesn't keep you safe, the other guy keeping head on swivel and you not flying thru heavy canopy traffic keeps you safe. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

If sigma can start making 300 or 310's that be fucking awesome. Or Icarus can make elliptical tandem canopies. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

His ground launching program will teach you more about canopy flight vs anything else. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

Possibility might be wind tunnel option?? and learn how to fly your body, it is the newest thing. No one really skydives anymore, jumping out of the airplane is for old people. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

sigma harness pretty much maxes out with passenger over 6'6"… Unless they are all legs. Doesn't mean you can't fit, but will be a uncomfortable ride under canopy. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

pretty much same thing, you pull right toggle goes to the right and left to the left and pull both to stop. biggest difference is recovery arc, with speedwing, I can hook 180 as low as 200 ft ish, with mirage 11.5. If I did that with my katana I would smash the ground before it even starts to recover. and with fazer I can hook it even lower. if you wanna hook speedwing you have to be low and kinda in the corner or otherwise you risk popping back up. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

that looks way higher than 200 feet and you can hook tandems lower than that, depending on weight and size of the canopy. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

I completely stopped rolling the nose on any canopy now. I just push em towards center just a little so the slider will cover the nose, and that's it. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

Hooking up for take off. Good idea? Bad idea?
stayhigh replied to rustywardlow's topic in Tandem Skydiving
I dont wanna be attached to knocked out student and also I'm pretty sure my student don't wanna be attached to me when I'm knocked out. They don't even know how to get out of harness properly, they won't figure out how to release side and the top connector. Bernie Sanders for President 2016 -
Crossbraces at low wingloadings
stayhigh replied to ridebmxbikes's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
And also to trained eyes, there is nothing more dumb looking than flying velo like a dumbass. and in order to fly velo like a champ, you need to learn how to look good under non velo first, something that flys like one, it goes by name of Katana. For those with thousands of jumps on stiletto and still flys velo like it is your stiletto, please stop jumping em, you look retarded. Sad thing is that those individuals that i mentioned up top, wouldn't even realize that I been making fun of them. Bernie Sanders for President 2016 -
Is 20+ years too old for a reserve parachute?
stayhigh replied to PixieUK's topic in Gear and Rigging
Would not pay anymore than 400 dollars. and that's a lot who would pay 400?? he should just donate to some poor kid skydiver if it is airworthy… I sold my infinity plus reserve for a 1000, and both were made after 2005. There is always someone going out of sport. Buying 20+ year old gear to jump it just sounds ridiculous. Bernie Sanders for President 2016 -
Crossbraces at low wingloadings
stayhigh replied to ridebmxbikes's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Yeah, I agree on some of your idea. I really don't see how Ka is safer vs Velo. I turn my Ka 120 and Velo 96 at almost same altitude. I know handful of people who jumped x-braced loaded over 2. with less than 500 jumps. Also so know handful of people who has 5000+ jumps and they shouldn't be flying Velo's, flying it their old way, toggle whipping, stabbing out Velo pilots. So who is to say who can jump what canopy?? Can we all take the velo away from people who doesn't do proper approach and stab out every single time when they land??? Just because you have years in sport, thousands of jumps plus all kinds of examiner rating doesn't grant you to fly x-brace canopy, imo Bernie Sanders for President 2016 -
Update, After setting recording interval to sec, and than logging the track at jump run did the trick. Altimeter displayed matched the swoop beeps perfectly. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

Katana 120 opens better than anything I've owned and I still have it for this reason. Perfect canopy for the affi evaluation jumps. However some are not made same right?? No two canopy will open and fly the same way.. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
