Shoes To Wear, and Foot Fractures
virgin-burner replied to FallingRGR's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
i disagree; just ask the instructor that had both hips replaced at the age of 35.. Haha, you realise that your post in no way contradicts Normis post, all it implies is the instructor needs to... sometimes it only needs a hole in the ground covered in grass. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

"stay safe out there!"
virgin-burner replied to virgin-burner's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
looks like we've had one of the toughest weeks in skydiving and BASEjumping.. 6 dead in 7 days is way overboard! is it just me, or is this pretty recurring, end of summer, everyone's super current, wants to get a good last run in.. and then fucks up. or it's right at the beginning of the season. i dont have words, except: "stay safe out there!". “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

what kind of stuff can you do on AFF solo jumps?
virgin-burner replied to chemist's topic in Safety and Training
For doing what exactly? kept on spiralling like a fucking idiot in my vincinity.. mind you, i'm usually one of the first to land; and i dont spiral myself down. he freaked the shit out of me.. it's dangerous, it's stupid. i've never seen ANYBODY act such like an idiot under canopy. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

once i almost punched a student in the face for doing just that.. he then got grounded by his instructor for the day. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda -

Low cutaway, followed by a LOW reserve pull
virgin-burner replied to -ftp-'s topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I've had a semi-elliptical put me on my back in line twists before, only loaded at about 1.3 as well. It's not as common, but it does happen. i've had my safire2 leave me dizzy after a spinner.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not.

go crazy freefly suits
virgin-burner replied to collier1234's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
do you have a link for that shop? i mean simply a work overall like a mechanic at a garage would wear; you can get them for real cheap and dont have to deal with the smelly ones from the dz. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

go crazy freefly suits
virgin-burner replied to collier1234's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
well then, go out and buy yourself one! if i were you, i'd go with a "standard" cotton one, nothing too fancy.. or just get an overall from a DIY-shop! -
go crazy freefly suits
virgin-burner replied to collier1234's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Wow, you only have 15 jumps and you're already looking to do some freefly...ok, why don't you just get a Liquid Sky suit then http://www.liquidskysports.com/freefly-suits you seem to love the trolls; do you always put up a 2nd account or do you team up!? What a minute,, this is the second time this week i was called a troll. let me explain and here's how i see it: So OP wants to do freeflying when OP hasn't even been licensed. I think OP would benefit from excelling first in belly flying then over to freeflying. What happens if OP cannot control a freefly position, would OP be comfortable transitioning into a belly fly? maybe he would but OP would fair a better chance if OP had SOLID belly flying skills. My comment to OP was sarcasm. Where I come from we can smell the noobs..and if such noobs come out flying suits like LiquidSky they better know their $#i!. this statement stands for itself of how well you THINK you know your shit. and a suit really has NOTHING to do with FF-skills. -

i wonder that a lot myself; and then i think of the folks, and yes, in some cases it would probably mess up the perfectly fine-tuned, "scratchy-face",dropzone-bum with the money to burn for hundreds of tunnelhours.. that is SOOOO not acceptable! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

Vector 3 Micron - Position of Cypres control unit
virgin-burner replied to freeflygirlz's topic in Gear and Rigging
i'm under the impression UPT would put the control unit on the back if you ask for it. having said that, i understand their way of thinking and it does make sense. “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 think that's what i would have done.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
