  1. Here's some more wingsuiting fun for your entertainment.
  2. So here's my dilemma. I'm flying my p2 with my buddy (in a t-bird) and I just cant seem to stay with him. I literally have to keep my legs pinned to my ass to fly on the same level. Is there any other sort of inputs I can use to keep with him? Here's the vid. If you notice at about 8K I extend my legs and he drops like a friggin rock. Hope you guys/gals can give me some usefull input.
  3. I really don't care either. I have my own problems. I heard the story on news radio today and I saw your post as an excuse to call you all murderers , which makes me seem like a better person as I wallow in my own insecure delusions. Listen to Tool much? And Mikey, I think you're better off than me when the zombie apocalypse hits. You've got more firepower, and if your metabolism only lets you last 3 days, that's 2 and half more than I'd last! I get woozy on an 8 hour flight if I bring less than 1500 calories. NEED MORE BEANS FOR THE CHOWDA, HERE!!! "Uh, I was just resting my eyes." Though I doubt I have you beat on firepower bro. BTW, "Five" is sooooo last month. The real shit is Ascension now. You'll have to download it when you get back. Fucking legit map. I made it to wave 14 on my own and 27 with people who know what they're doing. Funny how my thread about Girl Scout cookies has turned into a zombie survival thread. Muff #5048
  4. I really dont give a shit if the cookies are made by clubbing baby seals. They are delicious! And when I'm swarmed by 3 little kids asking me to buy some cookies so they can fund their activities to make them better people, I'm not going to say no. BTW, I couldn't care less about some monkey's (not bashing you Sean). Muff #5048
  5. ROFLMFAO!!! I was just discussing the zombie apocalypse with a couple co-workers today. I was telling them how well prepared I was due to the large amount of firepower I have, and they said the same thing... "Miller, you can have all the guns you want, but you gotta eat sometime and judging by the amount we watch you eat you wouldn't last more than 3 days"...lol Muff #5048
  6. Don't freeze them! Or you'll sit down and eat the entire box when you pull them out because they're so awesome! No problem there Dave. I'll just engage my "hyper-metabolism" and turn all the fat and sugars in them to shit in about 73min. Muff #5048
  7. Good call. I've never thought of freezing them...walks to put that box in the freezer...Good thing I started with the Samoas first. Muff #5048
  8. I gotta give it to em'. They really know how to hit a target audience. I was walking into the Class 6 to pick up a case of beer and wouldn't you know it, there was the base Girl Scout troop selling cookies right outside. Here's why they are genius in selling their cookies this way. It's Friday... at 1700... in front of the base liquor store... see where I'm going here. Anywho, I couldn't say no and I figured I would want something to munch on while I was drinking my beer so I got a couple boxes. I really love these cookies, and since it's for a cause I believe in, it's a win-win.
  9. Am I the only one who sees a problem with how easy these things would be to defeat? I mean if you REALLY wanted to beat a device like this all you would have to do is tie a balloon to a piece of pvc, put a rubber hose (approx the size of the thing you blow into) on the other end of the pvc, fill the baloon with like normal while sober, then clamp off the rubber hose with some hemostats. Come time to go home, put the end of the rubber hose on the blow nossle and release hemostats. Seriously, the idea of putting these things in every car is as assine as a left handed baseball bat.

  10. This time filming and doing photos of a 2-way of a couple of low-timers (100-150jumps). Hope you like. I was using some new editing software, but I think the vid's pretty legit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6zFhwb-al0 Muff #5048
  11. Not a bad question at all. YES you SHOULD update your logbook every jump. I AM A LAZY JUMPER WHO'S EXAMPLE SHOULD NOT BE FOLLOWED in this instance. I basically hit the 200 jump mark in my logbook, started wingsuiting and haven't logged too many jumps since. Dont be lazy like me. Muff #5048
  12. Yup! That is EXACTLY it. I'm just sick of going to dz's other than my home dz and having to explain to them that I really AM a skydiver and showing them a shitload of paperwork and my logbook (which I havent updated in about 200 jumps) Muff #5048
  13. If you'll notice, it's my C license. While it is my first physical license with a number, I've had my A, B, and C paperwork filled out and signed off for a while now. Now for a coach rating... Muff #5048
  14. So I finally bit the bullet and faxed in my paperwork to the USPA. I now have my very own first skydiving license. -Mike Miller C-38793 Muff #5048
  15. Ill be there with my CX110 and my DSLR. Maybe we could get a little footage/pics from different people put something togeather? I would love to really put my editing software to some good use. Muff #5048
  16. I did try to get a better glide using rears, but at 2K' I pretty much knew I wasnt making it back. As far as looking downwind, no real poin since I KNEW I would at least be able to hit the parking lot of the building I landed near. I'm not too sure where the dude with the gopro landed, but I DO know that where ever it was, it was next to the girl you see in the sit with me (his wife). He pretty much just followed her down to make sure she was ok. Muff #5048
  17. You know, its weird that there was a windsock there. I remember thinking "why is there a windsock here?" then being uber glad it was there. And Shah, I ALWAYS walk away from my landings. If I dont wlk away from it then Im likely being transported from it by medical help. Muff #5048
  18. I didnt even look down at all. And the wind picked up sometime between jumping and landing. Winds were kinda hinkey yesterday. Muff #5048
  19. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7lg-7xTZBg And here is the rather disturbing discussion that follows... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BW-QzhlvkYw Muff #5048
  20. Yeah. just a hard opening, but with the added weight of a dslr still cam on my noodle the forces generated could have resulted in a broken neck. Which is why Spence was right in that I shouldnt be looking at the canopy while its opening. Muff #5048
  21. I hear ya Spence. If I was wearing my DSLR things might not have ended so well. My body hurts right now, and my neck is as stiff as a board. Muff #5048
  22. Opening that put an end to my jump day yesterday? This one hurt worse than any other Ive ever had. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoMpuJGHGPs Muff #5048
  23. Your commitment to proper grooming is very impressive! What are your thoughts on waxing? My thought is that it would hurt... A Lot! Muff #5048
  24. While I agree with unzipping legs before brakes, I don't agree with loosening the chest strap before brakes. For reasons stated further up-thread I dont want a loose chest strap without knowing I have a fully functioning parachute and the only way (IMO) to do this is to release the brakes and perform a controll check. But I agree about getting out of the legs first. Muff #5048
