    Personally I use the one hand per handle EP (hence no sweeping) and I think its a better method for wingsuits since reserve handles have been known to be slightly swallowed in some suits. I think it is a superior method at all but that's a different discussion. I can see a point in sweeping and teaching it to students, but what's the problem here? He pulled as far as he could and he had no midget arms. He felt the canopy leave. What would the sweeping get him? As a wingsuiter I also used the one hand per handle. However, I don't see how the one hand per handle keeps you from sweeping. Peel, pull, sweep ... it's as easy as 1, 2, 3. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    Thanks for the post. It's interesting hearing about the planning and practice that goes into those jumps. PS: You're English was fine. Plus, I give a pass to anyone that knows English as a second language because it's the only language I know ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    I think yelling is a clear sign that your are running out reasons... Running out of reasons? More like you don't understand reasoning so I was trying to make it clear. According to you, the next time you're flying with someone else and you cross behind their trail (at any point) you can consider yourself to be stupid (because they could deploy at any point) ...

    It was not about just flying in someones trail.... Please try to read the whole text and watch the video. Time: 1min 15sec. If the plan was for Robert to watch for Ludo before deploying then Ludo wasn't flying in Robert's trail before deployment ... please just try understand the plan. Edit: If the plan is to break off at 4k and deploy at 3k then flying behind someones trail above 4k isn't stupid but flying behind someones trail below 4k is. It's why you plan the dive and dive the plan! Check the video, timeline 1.15. Is that deployment time? That is not really the case you have described above. IT'S NOT DEPLOYMENT TIME IF THE PLAN IS FOR ROBERT NOT TO DEPLOY UNTIL HE SEES LUDO! "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    If you fly with someone else then you'll probably fly behind someones trail at some point. Is that stupid? Depends on the circumstances ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    It is beginning to appear that you have less of an issue with the difference between the posted prizes and the actual prizes than with Jarno ... after all, he offered to give you the posted prizes and apologized. What's your real issue? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    I came across this quote: That attitude sucks. Guess I'll stop watching his videos. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    I'll say this, Spike picked up backflying quickly. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    grap ... *miss* ... grap, hold, release. I'm not a thrower. I rarely throw my pilotchute. I never thought about it. It's always in one motion and never had any problems. so I think it's in my system now. Maybe I'm gonna work on it.

    Where did you get that idea? Where did I get what idea? That was a quote from the article ... the guy doesn't even understand that a rifle is a gun. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    Those wingsuits look like small canopies ... I'm interested in the forward speed during the flair. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    I upgraded to the latest and greatest and am having issues. I want a home file (CONFIG-HOME.TXT) to test navigation and a dropzone file (CONFIG-DZ.TXT). Am I doing something wrong in these files? PS: I removed the home coordinates but verified that they are correct with another user. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    That was a weak throw (if you can even call it a throw) at the end of that video. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    Very entertaining! I'm loving the multi-point flocks and the backflying. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    Much worse consequences than that. A large nation w/ a large population of marriagable (~20s) male w/ no hope for mates is going to lead to a huge amount of social tension released either through internal dissent or war. I've wondered if they were building themselves an army ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/08/24/bidens-office-disputes-assertion-hes-ok-with-chinas-one-child-policy-speech/ Maybe I'm missing something but he appear to be stating that he understands (and isn't second guessing) that they have a one child per family policy and he believes it is not sustainable. What is wrong with that? This policy causes the worst womens rights issues in the world. (abuse, murder) Yes, I know. However, it doesn't appear that he was condoning it. It just appears that he understands that they have it and isn't second guessing whether they enforce it. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    That's not true ... the hookers were alive when they were snorting coke off of their asses. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
