just sent you an invite, bitch! happy now!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

This is nothing like wearing half a wingsuit, there is still a boat load of fabric there. ..and that might just be the problem! “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 takes some skills too, you know!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

Yep ... all 32,000 of them . fuck off! FB only allows 5000, so i have to limit myself! Christy, don't get mad, or you'll be deleted as a friend and will have only 31,999 friends. i dont why i have you on there anywa,y i got SKYDIVERS mostly, NICCIIII!!! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

mhm, i dont know your WS-experience for that matter, but iaside from being screwed in your head as for a requirement to basejump anyway, it's NOT a requirement to put on a WS to basejump. but i only speak from low WS-experience and a handful of basejumps. i do stuff because i LOVE doing it, and i do it my way. i suggest, you do what you feel comfortable with. and if it means no WS-base, so be it. for me, that's cool!

well, with that specific suit there was at least one other fatality were speculation is high it was because of the same conditions/problems. and a 3rd near miss. plus a lot of non-basejumpers that reported similar. of course, in a skydiving environment, it's not as cruicial.. imagine you only wear half a wingsuit; if you're close to some solid object, whatever you do, it wont end well.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

it's a requirement to be stoned to basejump; why in the hell would a person in their right mind do stuff like that 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

i suggest you edit your reference line then too. havent seen it in the other thread..

i have no words for this.. i bet the guy had a nasty surprise in his shorts after 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

No, she just deleted all the SKYDIVERS guess she kept nicci then! “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 i have to delete now at least ONE of them! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

out of all the video's you've linked, i think matt's is the most entertaining.. either you love base, or you think it's friggin nuts - but still love it! dont think i've seen that one, pretty-fucking-cool!

oooo-kay.. not trying to be a wiseass, but the "string" from the pud to the actual PC seems to be quite long on those few i've seen; like, the PC willl hardly get out of the way of your back, even at an outstretched arm, or so it seems (i havent seen many pull-outs, and it might have been some time since). what's the thoughts of that "string" (i dont know the proper term for it) wrapping up with bridle and/or PC!? i'm still curious about the triple-risers, if you have some insight on that one as well..

Greetings, Do you know a reason or are you asking for real? They never were that popular anyway. Most people tend to use what comes stock with the rig no matter what. Usually they don't know anything different than what they have, good or bad. Personally I liked them. I jump a pull out and they're not nearly as popular as a throw out either :) i'm actually asking for real!

Wiseass. I was referring to skydiving. Wouldn't there be less chance of an entanglement if you have a low-profile front helmet mount than if you had one on top of your helmet? dude, it's YEAAAAARS before you should even consider jumping a camera; concentrate on ski-entanglements for now! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

might seem like a funny question; but isnt that for a reason!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

uhm, are you sayin i should have to take a canopy class? i've done two so far, both out of my own free will.. just sayin'. planning to go for my 3rd next season. considering this will be my 5th year in the sport, i think that's a pretty good rate. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

if i throw a PA at you, i bet you will know it. my opinion on this matter is by having spent almost a day digging through the fatality-list on here. and seeing that your chances are highest when you're either a student or have 1000+ jumps. and a high rate of fatalities in the last class seems to be by gear-problems of sorts. in a case where a reserve doesnt have enough time to inflate properly and the result is a high-speed impact with the planet underneath you, the assumption that such a fatality could most likely have been prevented - by simply pulling higher and having more time to get a working parachute above your head - is a valid one. you havent proved or disproved that point. and it doesnt take a gazillion jumps to make that assumption. even a guy with zero jumps can come up with that conclusion. your experience doesnt always help, but ignorance is clearly of no help at all. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

yea-yea, if you like sangi so much, why dont you guys get a room together!? you can repeat it all you want, it doesnt make it more true. people at his dz voiced their concerns as well. and pounding on your experience vs. mine only seems to imply that you have nothing else to support YOUR authorative (is that even a word!?) claims than just that. look, i'm tired of this stupid arguments, i'll happily do the way i was taught. you can jump rsl's, skyhooks all day since you probably will need it, i'm happy with audibles and a what i reckon to be safer pull-altitude. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

if you cutaway your main and say it get's hung up on your helmet; that's not exactly a horseshoe, is it!? not much crew here, cant comment on that.. i've never jumped a round and dont feel any need to do so.. and nope, i didnt check my altimeter; i was very busy with other stuff at the time. but as i pointed out in a later post, KNOWING i pulled at 6k.. “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 also said he would be fine and that we didn't know him and how good he was. no, i said you it doesnt seem to be a problem as it is for you internet-skydivers.. which is fine with me! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

1.) i meant "entanglement" of main/reserve, main/jumper or reserve/jumper, not entanglement in terms of canopy-collision. check the fatality-list on here, the number is surprisingly high! 2.) well, in that case it was for a hit and rock and i was assigned to pull at 6k, so that's like almost 3x of your "normal" pull-altitude. as for A and B, as i said, if you dont loose altitude awareness pulling higher means more time to work stuff. especially with modern canopies as they seem to snivel forever. your BSR's were probably written in a time where you all jumped rounds that open within 100ft or so. a modern canopy takes ten times as long. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

apparently, nope, he was banned with his KA on at least one dz in LT. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
