With a name like Winsor Naugler III, Winsor You can drop the III at will. It's not like you are King of Prussia. Yeah, but I'm still stuck with two misspelled last names. It's Swiss, anyway. SWISS!?!?!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

i have a friend that jumps a very small velo with a wingsuit.. should i do that 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

here's another example. i dont think you'll see much of the red between the dark top- and bottom-skin.. my ribs are tangerine (?), top and bottom are silver except the outer cells. edited to clarify and add a better picture “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

..are a leading cause; seems your reading-comprehension sucks, is that why you post so often? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

and how exactly do you know that? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

doesnt really look like a jfx in my eyes.. looks like a radically elliptical crossbrace to me.. and i dont think my observation is that way off. but yea, please tell me if it is that way.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

Only to the eyeball. If it's a true hop & pop, the true-vertical velocity is quite slow, yet the canopy deploys quickly in relative wind that is almost as fast as terminal velocity. i think i got out at something like 2500ft or thereabouts before; yea, to the eye, it was NOT a nice sight, but all went well..

that's kinda lowish; but a ton of fun, if you get over the scary part! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

My guess is that they would have a quiver of different slider sizes and the rds will allow them to swap them out more quickly to get through the r & d more efficiently. just guessing though! fair enough.. looks like the p3 is an XF with crossbraces.. VERY ellliptical, and yeah, very crossbraced as well.. interesting, very much!

so? even in my worst days, i posted half the BS you're posting now.. and that MEANS something! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

looks like an RDS, doesnt it!? Indeed it is, but you still have to put the slider on correctly for it to work properly, other wise you end up with what happened to the jumper in the video. just a quick observation, the video further up of the jfx that snivels like - forever; wouldnt it be wise for someone to testjump a new canopy, like the p3 (i assume) to be otherwise complication-free? as far as i know, rigging up any kind of RDS's has a tendency to go wrong, at least, every now and then. why put one on a canopy that's in it's testing-phase still!? just asking.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

looks like an RDS, doesnt it!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

better than your 662 with nothing to add.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

Good point. Although when I finished AFF I hadn't done tracking yet (I took a little extra time to get turns right), so didn't know how to even start with it. We did a little of that on some of my coaching jumps, so now that is another option. isnt that part of the AFF-curriculum!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

that, or it's just my "time of the month"! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

That is the use of the word I know, but if there are other kinky meanings, Remi would know. and i thought, you were the perv around here; that or turtle; or billy; or - err, nevermind.. guess we're all pervs.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

i've seen that and the "new" signs are messed up; old ones were: UNTIL 22nd - FROM 23rd. new ones are until 22nd - from 22nd. do you know what i'm getting at!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

bes-test - post - ev-er!!! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

Really? Damn that sucks. i find solos boring as well. i think in 2010 about 2/3 of my few jumps were solo - hop n'pops - and now i got my 90's down pretty well. i wouldnt exactly call that boring. your mileage may vary 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

Asking for signatures can be a bit awkward sometimes. Yeah but how else are you gonna find out what their name is? Sometimes it's not good to know names. You get them confused later on and, for some odd reason, that always leads to problems. Call 'em all darlin' or baby or honeypot but never use real names. and you speak of this authoritavely with only 0.5 miles!? join the petejohnes-fanclub! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

milla jovovitch has her birthday the same day; i think we should get together and find out if i was indeed a ophiuchus! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

fair enough! i'm just a little tired of people saying bad stuff about safire2's, how they had a weak flare and how it wasnt a good platform to learn how to swoop on.. or that sabre2's were better for that purpose. seems billvon is the only one more or less to vouch for it. next year, hopefully, i'll get my grabby hands on an XF2, then i'll be able to make a more accurate statement regarding flare-power, and which was even MORE awesome! i went from sabre to safire2 to crossfire2. safire was an awesome canopy. much better opening and felt a lot more agile then sabre. good glide, very good flare. the only thing about it - very short recovery arc, so you need to be close to the ground if you want to swoop it and i used to scary people whipping 180 low to the ground. but as long as you aware of the arc, it could be done safely. on both of my safire2 and crossfire2 i had a slider one size down to speed up the openings - they were too slow to my taste. i'm only up to 90'q, and i'm turning around 60-80 metres.. the lower is the better end; it IS scary! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

no more need for abortion-clinics - "just bring your baby to our dz!". the tea-partians will love the concept! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

Actually Ophiuchus is not a new one ... just rarely used. but you got the freak part right tony, next time i happen to see you, i'll turn completely FREAK. and my next thread will be about midget-porn; better watch your ass, buddy! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

so what am i!? since my b-day is the 17th.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
