    i'm pretty happy with my mindwarp, i saves me from a knee in freefall, the one or other bump in freefall, it carries my videocamera.. but if i smash the ground so hard that i'd NEED a helmet.. mhm, i'm probably having bigger problems! and yup, offer is still standing..

    nope, what's in my avatar is a can of "Victoria Bitter", a beer from australia.. let's talk again in another 200 FF-jumps of yours, where you will be so concentrated on not fucking up, that you will be glad to compensate keeping your body-position by only moving your eyes.. motocross and skydiving are not the same sports! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

    what is a Desert Princess or Queen? start out here!!! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

    judging by your jumpnumbers, all you have ever seen in freefall is an instructor or a coach IN YOUR FACE. the motorcyclists navigate 2D; skydivers navigate 3D - YOUR argument doesnt fly! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

    TAKE THAT BACK!!! I do. In fact, I'm only being super nice to you from now on, for fear that a MikeJD voodoo doll will be making an appearance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrzMhU_4m-g “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

    you know what they say about long necks, ey!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

    and after a couple flights with a prodigy, a classic, a phantom and my mach1, i'm now buying a tracking-suit.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

    interesting; one thread about this suit is starting to get buried, then another old one is resurrected. however, i think this is worth repeating: “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

    came across this video, it's mind-boggling.. not exactly skydiving, but WOW!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=am22-pZLimY “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

    with 500 jumps in over 20yrs, you probably havent witnessed any brocken necks, couple femurs and brocken backs in your career.. not mentioning the people dying. good I did 4 jumps on Thursday starting out with a 7500ft hop n pop ,looking out across the Arizona mountains, I thought to myself..... Wow this is beautiful.. I just enjoyed the ride down. I am very blessed to be able to skydive. I hope that counts since I only have 72 jumps over 8 months sure does! i wasnt the first to mention jumpnumbers.. i was the one that brought up jumpnumbers over time. u're doing fine! and it IS a beautiful sport! i just dont like the "happy only"-attitude some people bring up, even tough, they should know better.. the last couple of weeks were pretty bad! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

    I have several issues with my suit... Nobody believes me it is a Ghost 2... But that's what's embroidered on the right arm Also how can I get her to reproduce, and make baby Phantoms and V4's and venoms ? you need a SECOND suit for it to reproduce! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

    Well said, some people just wanna bitch I don't take it that VB wants to bitch as much as he wants to moan. After all, with 10,000 posts vs. 300 jumps, it seems clear where his interest lies. @VB - fatalities, backs, legs, etc.... BTDT. oh yea, 500 jumps in 26yrs. i dont need to say more.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

    Thanks for being a real downer. Go back and read the title of the thread, and the OP. Then go away. why? “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, some puss-faces would complain their gold is too heavy. with 500 jumps in over 20yrs, you probably havent witnessed any brocken necks, couple femurs and broken backs in your career.. not mentioning the people dying. good for you! there's also puss-faces that dont have friends. then give up skydiving if it makes you that upset. I have had all of those thing happen to friends, (one good friend is still in hospital 3 years after a low turn) and I KNEW that was most likely going to happen when i did my AFF 1. WAY to many people come into this sport too lightly. People you know WILL die and get maimed and it might be you (or me) get over it, or go play something else. It's a great sport, every now and then i do a solo and pull high, just to settle under canpoy and remind myself how good it is. Sometime I sit in the door way on jump run looking out to the horizon, and think .."Man this is VERY VERY COOL" You all need to go jump

    well, to be honest, looking over the last couple weeks, and this weekend especially, "parachutists of all kinds".. i may have to say it can be pretty fucking gore.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

    Two manufacturers have told me that changing their rig release systems would unquestionably violate their TSO; not only the re-routing of cables, but potential for changes in pull force as well. Kinda don't think Bill B would take well to it either. pick up the phone, ask him. reply from UPT: “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not.

    i only have "a" license; couldnt care less about those A, B, C, D's 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

    and you come here with 30 jumps to ask that question!? good luck, i hope you donned your NOMEX underneath your prodigy.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

    and the value of your input, as noted further down, is gold standard! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

    LOL, I'm not him, but I dunno - initiate emergency procedures? Go for main twice, then reserve. You should know that already haha, my concern being the 3-rings that will be limited; you dont really have to worry about them in BASE if you're not about to drown or have to run from the cops.. but yea, nice try! edited to add: i wonder what the H/C-manufacturer would have to say in this, since the handles are not in their original location anymore; wouldnt that cease the TSO for this setup!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

    That occured after gearing up and even before I had a chance of checking my handles so don't start spreading wrong words. Of course this was noticed straight away and would not happen in freefall. so, how do you feel about skydiving a suit which it is strongly advised against, only to be BASEjumped!? how would you have dealt with it in case of an emergency!? despite your jumpnumbers, you should be quite well aware that the laws of physics and gravity in particular wont stop for you too. and actually, you should know better, no!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.
