  4. It does! We have lots of mosquitoes at my dropzone after the sun sets (you know bonfire time), in the summer. Hyperactives fuckers too! If I don't use bug spray next day I'm full with allergies from bug bites. I still have the 2 BIG bug spray from last summer in my back-pack that I take with me to the dropzone!!! Sometimes when I take out the bug spray I get a beer in return ! Q: what's a horny gorilla? Edit to add: I've found out whats a horny gorilla but why is it called like that?

  5. Well I was an active dude for a long time on a computer technology (work related & shit) forum. After I begin to jump I've lost the motivation & interest.I still go from time to time to check what's up but I don't go with an open heart anymore! I do it just because it might help me with the work! In almost one year I've changed. These days I love a simple&plain HTML based web sites (like skydive-radio or like most of the dropzone websites that are out there) and not the funky 3d flash shit&music stuff. And yes I was having the same personality like here but more active! Here because of my real age - 20 jump - I've been forced more to lurk ... but that's OK I guess.

  6. I know exactly what you mean by that. There was a similar presentation on General Skydiving and me and my friends talk about that (CYPRES introduction) beeing a debatable example. But ... (there's always a but ) the article talk about skydiving only in the 1st page

    Did you know...

    Beer has been a popular beverage for a long time. Babylonian clay tablets show detailed recipes of beer making in 4300 BC. Beer was also brewed by the ancient Chinese, Assyrians and Incas. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

  22. OK, so maybe I'm not in the good forum, if so I'll ask the moderators to pardon my mistake and to move the thread to a more proper forum. My dilemma it is related to canopy control but not in a direct way! Recently I've begin to do some kite boarding and I found this movie. The part that I want to address is beginning at 2:37 and it's ending at 3:24. The kite-wing is oriented upwind and he has more than 30 sec of flight. I don't know how strong was the wind but it can't be more than 30 km/h (18mph) (I'm thinking it's probably less). He is flying an old Sabre (strange name coincidence) Kite made by Flexyfoil. The Sabre kite has been removed from the current line of products and has been replaced by Sabre2. The biggest size for Sabre is 12 sq m (129 sq ft.) so I'm guessing that he is not ridding the thermals especially since the sabre is curved a lot and the area exposed to thermals is smaller than 12 m. Can someone bring some light regarding the flying sequence? How come the wing doesn't lose horizontal speed due to drag when he is flying it for more than 30 sec in full breaks and how come he doesn't descent as fast as we do with a parachute of that size? It seams that he has a strange and amazing Glide Ratio! Can we do that with a canopy or can we do a canopy that can do that? Am I right to think that after he gets airborne the wind speed has nothing to do with the descent rate only with the horizontal speed relative to the ground? Jean-Arthur Deda. P.S. The movie can be download from here https://www.flexifoil.com/downloads/videos.php Is the one called "Sabre in show" Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
