  1. you gotta realise mate, people here are dickheads. tough being asstrumpets, no-ones wishes you ill. but they question your choices. for your own safety. i think, i'm already overloaded on my wing. i had one bad landing, didnt break anything, got up packed, talked to my instructors, and did another jump. after that, i packed again and got me a beer and missed out on the following loads.. it was early afternoon. could have had a different outcome.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

  2. i took a sicky today.. should of worn my thermal suit sunday.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
  3. the one about bounce-bingo? i think thats pretty sick myself.. but yea, to each their own.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
  4. you can also get wrap-arounds for your own rig, so everything stays in place.. i'd hate to see what happens when a canopy would deploy in the tunnel.. be it a sucker or an open blower on top of the roof of a relatively tall building like ours.. on a side-note: has anybodys controller die on him? i think mine just did.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

  5. so, even 2000-jump-wonders are not safe from doing stupid shit!? pfft! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
  6. so, i was to this other dropzone last weekend. seems, this and another one, have the most wingsuiters. they also rent out prodigy's. well, started talking about it, told 'em about my ventures.. and if they'd rent me out a prodigy! just for asking, i'd like to mention. they said, i should get another 4 or 5 WS-jumps in with the guys i was already at.. i thought, that was a damn funny comment! i wanna do more wingsuiting.. but if things go on like that, middle of summer, i'll have my recommended numbers.. and consistent stand-ups. i'd hate to fuck up a 1000$ piece of equipment.. but more so, i'd hate to fuck up myself.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
  7. you mean, like sub-80!? i wonder who would do 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
  8. dont you worry, there are people with significanctly lower jumpnumbers, but significantly higher postnumbers.. some of those, dont even jump no more.. better be concerned that you dont spin yourself into the ground. i bought my canopy with 60 jumps and put a WL of about 1.2 on it. my rigger and chief-instructor in person said, i was gonna be alright. just dont do stupid shit with it.. it can kill you! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

  10. i dont think anything except club-jackets have ever been stolen at our DZ. and most likely, those were just mistaken as theirs. still a bummer with a relatively expensive jacket. other than that, i even leave my wallet or sunglasses laying around. not a single thing has ever been missed. pretty cool, uh!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

  16. so, what you're saying is, someone with an iq of 75 could pass university? it'd only take them fourty years? obviously you never took those tests, as time is also a counting factor.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

  19. personally i liked the plastic-thingy better. looks like shit tough.. now, the best system of course comes from basik.. and for 2'400$ or so, you have ALL the options in the basic price. there's no upgrading! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
