just been to the knive shop the other day and saw this really neat kershaw, how good do they take abuse!? i think the steel was X15-something.. i used to be a spyderco-afficionado, but after weaponry-laws changed and having had a not so lucky meeting with the boys in blue, i had to put that down a little.. but that law changed once again a couple of days ago, so i might need another EDC.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

yesterday i've received the 32gb SSD i've ordered for it, and after a night out of (heavily) drinking glühwein, i managed to get it installed, cloned the previously installed drive and am ready to go again! i'm a fucking hero! never done anything like that on a computer..

come to empuria for X-mas, and take the MAch 1 You're a lucky man to have such instructors at your DZ, they will teach you LOTS, and kick your butt if you screw up. man, i'm poor, i go to locarno for a couple of days.. and will fly the classic there!

You are a danger to yourself and jumpers around you doing 4way for 30 seconds from 6k. If you are going to pull high, make sure the group behind you knows. Nipple Boy A-19820 thanks man, i never thought of 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

mate, how can that slip!? whatever friday nights, skies fell down, the russians invaded, that-should-not-happen! “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 it sucks DZ used to be fun now its too PC maybe you should do like the skydivers in Missouri / Oklahoma / Arkasa / Iowa did made a dropzone clone and open only to skydivers and 5 other skydivers hve to vouch for you to become a member.. you couldnt do that on here, then the site would only be 10th the fun! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

this kind of discussion is kinda hard over the web..

bought it coz it seemed like a good deal! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

nick, in fact, i had a very exhausting 2 days trip down to valais and back, some snowboarding and drinking inbetween.. then i get onto here, see whats going on, and what do i see, your "silly" one-liner! i actually waited it off for a night! before i replied. you're right, i am a drama-queen, but so what. instead of posting cryptic crap, you might as well post something useful and more understandable. and something a little more combined to the posts above that might be better explained in an example not related to wingsuiting (as this is obviously emotionally distressing to me, since i'm a drama-queen

I see what you did there. And it's not very clever, at all. in fact, you dont see what happened there. because what i was referring to is that gixer-guy in GSD that bought a 120 stiletto anyway. whoever sold it to him right after AFF, altough the "advice" (or giving shit, whatever you might want to call it) was clearly against it. again, as i said in my post right further up, i waited and jumped my ass off since last year, but bought a HP-suit anyway. so what!? maybe you (not only you, but more in general) should realize that there are people that dont only own brains, but they also know how to use them.. that might be a concept hard to grasp.. this is not a PA, but an observation! so, whats my point you might ask: there are people that are eager to learn, that suck up every bit of information they can get their grabby hands on. what if they dont get it!? they go out on their own, do whatever they please anyway, and then, thats when the shit starts to hit the fan.. “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, thats what i've tried to say. you know, i'm all for taking the piss out of people n'shit, but, some useful advice every now and then wont hurt the case either. i did buy the mach1, knowing well i shouldnt jump it for quite a while. i was more than tempted, and i could have, but i havent. not only because i'm smarter than that, but mostly because i've had (what i consider to be FRIENDS) people telling me, what was wise and WHY that was so. and those exact same people actually got me a classicII to fuck around with, and to learn how to actually fly the (whatever) suit. and not to let the suit fly me. its pretty silly to put on one of the biggest suit available and flail around like duck-shit, would it. even a moron would understand that, so it was easy for me to grab the concept. and yea, i'm still the guy that had his first flights with his 70th jump, and i actually put the nylon-crack off for another 114 jumps. still not the magic 200, but anyway.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

and since i'm already in a bitchy and whiney mood, its actually kind of sad that after around 2yrs i'm on this site, the first person i got to meet up personally is shropshire from england. which was fucking cool BTW, but not a fellow countryman first!? and one out of the approximately two guys on here that went out of their ways to help a fucking n00b out is from the netherlands? one that gave great advice, altough he probably must of gotten a couple of grey hairs out of the discussions we've had!? but i finally gave in and actually listened, got 2 suits out of it that will probably last me a lifetime, and i'm not even doing something considered grossly unsafe!? but its much more fun to post silly one-liners that help nobody out at all. if i wasnt the one i am, i'd just say to myself "fuck it!" and go jump my mach1 anyway.. there! and people wonder why incidents happen that shouldnt have happened! makes you wonder.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

+1 BRAVE NEW CORPORATE WORLD! its more fun to spread viruses anyway.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

what the fuck do YOU know, 400 jumps in 10yrs, you dont have no business in the air wearing a wingsuit anyway.. its a mach1, not an SM1. and i paid less than 500$ for my good deal.. come summer, i'll have somewhere between 20-50 jumps on the classic, and have a nice suit ready. not having to look around. and nick, if your only right to exist comes from taking the piss out of people, while you never actually seem to give advice (not that i've read of anyway), why dont you keep it to yourself? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

awww, come on, you guys are slacking, i was just about to grab my popcorn.. hey, i got a mach1 laying around i wont use for some time, wanna have a go with 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

Looking forward to that too. One more DZ.Commer ticked off the list i was seriously contemplating paying you a beer, but thinking hardd, i've met one dz.commer already before you. met on the site. that'll have to wait until you drop me off that glider.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

isnt she vietnamese or sumthin'!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

the ones where the guys dressed up as clowns help you out!? never-ever seen a green slope in my lifetime! and i've skied and snowboarded quite a bit.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

there he is!

as if you knew german, frenchy! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

as far as i know, in fact all his jumps were made from porters. the wings fold up in the plane, he starts the engines, climbs out, gets into freefall, extends the wings and fires up the engines, and flies off. and yes, besides him and the pilot, he only had one or two more helpers in the plane. where's piisfish if you need him, he's been one of those helpers..

for the lack of better explanation, maybe the german words for gleitschirme (glide-canopies, paragliders) and fallschirme (fall-canopies, parachutes) will clarify things a bit.. loosely translated of course! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

maybe throwing rigs with velo90's in at them will help, if they find out they CANT trust advice given by others and they have to make up their own mind, that'll help!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
