GoPro front helmet metal mount?
virgin-burner replied to npgraphicdesign's topic in Photography and Video
I would hope your ski helmet is better than your skydiving one... I know mine is for that reason. Good point. What do you use for a skiing helmet? uhm, a skiing helmet!? and as for the 200 jumps, you sure you will still be "skydiving" in another 10yrs? by that time you wont find your helmet under all that dust anymore anyway.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

Some places in Europe already have regulations in place... So you can't really use them as an example of not needing regulations. sweden (norway?) and the netzerlands do; the rest not to the best of my knowledge.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

Best hand luggage bag for a Rig
virgin-burner replied to mgs13's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
i have a bag from invicta, made of cordura and it only cost me like 50 bucks; same features as the redoxx but the 5th the price.. even has straps to compress it! -
Not an apple fanboi by far either. My first computer was an Apple IIe though, but since then, I've been on PC. Also, I never really understood people's undying praise for the iPhone till I got one (wife had one, played with it, liked it). It's really a great "more-than-a-phone". they are some cool phones for sure!

Why not put a vertical stabilizer on a wing suit?
virgin-burner replied to cocheese's topic in Wing Suit Flying
Why would you want to put it out? Is it on fire? oops, edited! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda -

you know, you are quite quite an icon in the sport; and you do your own thing. i admire that a lot! doesnt matter how stupid or redundant i think the stunts you do are. somehow you manage to grab the attention of the media and the worst whuffos. props to you and i lift my hat in your general direction!

What canopy has the most fatalities?
virgin-burner replied to cocheese's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
awww, come on! what could possibly go wrong with a bounce-rig? canopies need some lovin' too! at least as long as the stains are not too bad.. “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 if you wear a very, very, very large wingsuit, have a foot- and a headmount, cameras facing forwards, backwards and downwards as well as one or two on your belly! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

Agreed. If they could get washing machine to fly, someone would argue on behalf of its superior flight characteristics. well, they get lawn mowers to fly.. “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 on ye'!

It sounds like the culture at your DZ is a little better than most and people are participating in canopy training. But why wait until someone downsizes? The testing part of the solution is valuable, if the process requires the demonstration of certain knowledge and skills before the jumper downsizes or moves to another type of wing. BTW: It's pronounced po-tah-to. the same 3/4 will take a CC once they have their license and their first rig. again, usually it's not the skydive that kills, it's the landing. physics is a bitch and the ground wont move..

There are many people with way more than 1000+ who would be happy to receive additional training and coaching. It's part of progressing as a pilot. From another thread... i meant it in the context of "when a jumper has leaped more than 1000 times from a plane in flight, nobody will question their choice to jump canopy x/y", USUALLY. if you tell your PD-rep or the guy from icarus you want that velo/jvx and tell them you have 1000 jumps, they're probably not interested in hearing that they were under 280 navigators. they will, and everyone else will, assume you know what you're doing. and it doesnt matter if a guy has 100 or 1000 jumpers, if (s)he has some sort of "smart" approach, they will seek coaching/mentoring on their own. the ones that dont you should worry about. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.
