Sorry for the retarded question ... but I just want to understand .... Who is the low guy? Is the guy who thinks "what's the worst that could happen?" Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

What really is cool about the woopy is that apperently you can't stall it. Everytime you change the angle of atack it comes back to neutral flight even if your body is still in a diff position relative to the wing. Or at least that's what they say on the web-site. I hope it does it without losing a lot of altitude... http://www.woopy-fly.com/ Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

My love so far has been the Bego600 a 6 m beauty from MacPara. High Aspect ratio! Great lift, sweet jumps and soft landings. I do buggy & snowkiting. I've made some small modifications to change the projected area so I can adapt it to different winds. This is usually a low wind wing so at 20 km/h it's a beast. The upsetting thing about it is that with powerlines it turns so slow. With breaks it turns faster but it loses power. This one is made from Ripstop nylon not treated with silicon. Do you think that if I spray it with food grade silicon it might improve the turning speed? For sure it's gone to change the power/lift but I can compensate that by reducing the projection area (making it more like a U). ... sigh ... I Hope I'm not going to destroy my kite from all the modifications that pops in my head....sigh... These days some guy named Mike Steen adapted the bullet into a skydiving canopy. Pretty cool. I think the biggest size for the bullet is 12m = 129 sq ft. How low can they go? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTrMQitk5vk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fk9H5utUzlA Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

Men, you're on fire!! You've done it all !!! Hang Gliding, Para Gliding, Kiting, Skydiving and Base Jumping. Did I forget something? What kites are you flying? Inflatable or open cell? One thing that I love about open cell kites is that you can modify whatever you want to modify and just go try it and feel the results. As long as you don't ride with harness and you don't do jumps with it right after the modification, you might be pretty safe. I wish I was a rigger so I could know more! Right now I'm just doing trial & error Did you ever try the woopy? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nj0ri4PG-i4 What abot the bullet from Ozone? I can't believe they sell that to anyone!!!!

It also depends on what wing you are flying. With a DHV1 it might be imposible to do that! Here is a nice video of Hellicopters and Infinity done with paragliders. It ends with a wing over! http://www.macpara.com/galerie/movies/close%20to%20infinit%20web.wmv Edit: spelling Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

Sorry for the offtopic but does anybody knows what happen with para filte? Did they close down? Their website is not working anymore. www.paraflite.com They used to have a canopy called Intruder with 4:1 ratio for HAHO missions. They had some cool graphs for gliding ratio vs toggle input. I only have the graphs for PARIS . I really wanted to have a canopy like that that can give to a noob soft landings but after I discovered that is for HAHO I began to doubt that I'll ever be able to fly it. I've attached the graphs for PARIS. Wouldn't be nice if we could have more graphs like that

Men, I was searchin' for this one! I first saw it back in the day in the '90s. I remember that I've like it but I had no idea what I was looking at. Last year when I've began to jump I've remember the forgotten video but couldn't remember the band name. Now I got it!!! Thank you. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

I'm pondering a life of crime, is there any reason I shouldn't?

What kind are you thinking about? My opinion would depend on whether it's a type that I consider morally acceptable. Blues, Dave I was thinking bank heists. I don't wanna rob old ladies of their pension checks or anything. You mean like in Point Break? If you're going to do that could you were a mask with the face of Michael Jackson? That would fuck up big time da pollice! Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls! -
