this link says it's a guy called greg gasson. it also indicates that it was made, or used, in the "good stuff"-video. all the footage seems to be gone from youtube, but with my limited knowledge, it might be eloy? for all i know the cool shots with the skydivers in the car on that movie were shot there, so chances are good this was also done there.. maybe!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

No problem, I was just explaining. Every video is new to someone. At 3:09 (The full video on blip.tv) nice.. looks like you ended up cutting away completely (and fell away to get stable again before you deployed your reserve). while in the spin, which was fairly fast, for us n00bs out there, how did that feel!?

wow; i never gave too much about "faith"! apparently, if you're a muslim, catholic, buddhist, amish or even a member of the presbyterian church, it doesnt take away from the fact that you are an ASSHOLE! BTW, i dont give much about religion, tough i was raised "catholic" (my parents never really gave a damn about church either), at least i know i'm an ASSHOLE. and hey, no need here for me to become all "god will bring doom on ye'"; if you think your "faith" is any better than my rusells teapot-theory, yes-yes, you are WAY off! so to all of you fundamentalists out there, please, be so kind and gentle, and GO FUCK YOURSELFs! i really mean this in the nicest way possible.. if you think you, or your kind, are better than any other.. well, please leave. nothing to see here! wow, what a crapload of BS going on. thanks for listening, ciao for now, c. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

BS. Find one post where I 'bashed' a 9 cell. I have two 9 cells in the rigs that I normally jump and have over 3,500 jumps on 9 cell mains. You have bashed 7 cells. "mostly "older-school"-jumpers seem to favor 7-cells"". The difference is I also have over 1,000 jumps on 7 cells and you seem to be bashing them with no idea about them. How many jumps do YOU have on 7 cell skydiving mains? If I am doing CRW or a demo.... I'll take a 7 cell over a 9 cell anyday. fair enough “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

given the limited experience i may have, given the safire2 (9-cell) i jump at a fairly high WL, and given the fact that it snivels for looooong.. yet, even far spots dont bother me much, yet, i do get a VERY comfortable opening, and yet, it's fast, stable in turbulence, bla-bla-bla.. i'm all in for 9-cells; but what i dont like is people bragging about how superior their 7er's are, even i can land my "chute" within 10ft every time, yet, i wouldnt put a "spectre" down. i just dont like "fanboys", be them for PD, 7-cells, knickerbockers or black socks. to each their own, and if you want to be "unique", just be that, and dont believe the hype.. that's all i'm saying.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

yea, i've seen most of the original vids.. doesnt take away the fact that it's a nice compiliation of stuff anyway! who exactly are you? gimme a time-line! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

nope, i'd end up jumping some sort of paragliding-wing for BEST performance; i might end up with some shitty openings tough, that is if my lines dont rip. modern 9-cells are probably the best performing chutes with the best openings.. my saf2 opens VERY nicely, yet, it has an all-around nice performance, AND it has some glide, too! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

no shit man, probably everyone had their "OH-CRAPPY-BOLLOCKS!!!"-moments.. but some stuff you just look at and think.. gosh, i just KNEW that was gonna go sideways! BTW, the guy that hit the parking-lot with many spectators, quite at the end, he really did die that moment.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not.

------------------------------------------------------------ Oh shit grandpa just called you n00b! no seriously all the old fuckers ride goldwings around here that seriously a bike? i always thought it was a car missing two wheels or sumthin'! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

bigger bikes are for pussies that dont get a pussy for a PENNY! here at titty twisters we slash pussies in HALF!

And you would be thinking wrong. The first ram-air canopy on the market was the Para-Plane ( now commonly referred to as the 'baby' Para-Plane ) was a 7-cell. Just to keep it factual, JerryBaumchen might have been wrong there, but there WERE 5-cell reserves out at some time.. right!? I actually just bought one last month (hey, it was cheap). i actually bought an optimum last year (hey, it's the latest hype!; AND it's orange, so goes well with the rest of my colour-coordination!) “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

anyway.. you seem to be bashing 9-cells, while, even if it's only in my view, they are pretty much the norm. and mostly "older-school"-jumpers seem to favor 7-cells. for whatever reasons.. i'm just saying, dont dosh a 9er over a 7er.. for whatever reasons! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

well, found this video just today, nice collection of stuff that goes wrong.. at least one guy died, for all i know. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyZ27d9dwGQ i'm only missing out on they guy swooping through the hangar here.. but the rest, is genuine.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

that is one of the funniest things i've ever read on here.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

Nonsense. Your statement is made from a myopic view of only looking at your own little part of the skydiving world. Just look at PD: "The lightly tapered seven cell Spectre is one of the most popular canopies we have ever produced." Hell, PD just released a new 7 cell called the Zero. They released a 7 cell canopy about a year ago called Storm. And you seem to be forgetting that a Velo is actually a 7cell with Xbraces. you seem to be forgetting that the velo is rather a 21-cell rather than a 7-cell, because it is x-braced; and from myopic view of the little part of the world i jump in, the majority of people do NOT jump velos.. and to adress YOUR myopic view of the world, there are actually other manufacturers than PD, too! and i'm sort of sure that way more rounds were sold back in the days until the advent of square canopies. just look at the progression, i think it went from 5-cellss to 7-cells, then guess what, someone clever though of a 9-cell. and if you want to keep going that way, paragliding-wings have what, 37 cells? of course they serve a different purpose, but a paragliding-wing actually CAN go up. unlike skydiving-wings. if my logic is not completely flawed, i'd dare to say that the more cells you have, you will end up with a better performing parachute. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

good luck wit dat even in switzerland, where weather is known to be less than stelar, that is very well possible.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

yup, and all they're basically good for is bringing you down to the ground safely. i think there's a reason why almost all MAIN-canopies have 9 cells. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

he didnt like the reply he got there, so he asked some place else.. and yes, backflying IS freeflying! so are horny gorillas and what else has been mentioned. to the OP: get a decent container/rig already.. fucking cheap skate! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

and when do we get to see the real deal!? looking pretty good tough.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

well, i've never been a really great gamer i suppose.. but if i do FFA-games, fairly regularly i'm in the top3, and if i do wager-matches, i AM usually in the money-ranks (fucking AMAZING feature of blops!

You guys need to get on a real combat sim like SOCOM and quit playing with the kiddie stuff. I'm just sayin' i just got bfbc2 which i havent been able to play yet, it's said it's a little more "tactical". so once the format is done and i've gone through the cleaning-disc-process later on.. SOCOM special forces will only come out in april tough. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

right now, i'm in the process of re-formatting my ps3. looks like i got to manage to have the 2nd one bricked. i'm pretty sure it was blops that actually managed to kill it, all those freezes and running constantly on lightspeed.. dont think it does a system of whatever sorts any good. i'm pretty much pissed off, especially considering the fact that i may be out of warranty to boot!
