How I got into it? I always wanted to chase the dreamof flying. My first skydive gave me this with incredible addrenaline rush as well. Then I skydived for a while (got to about jump 150), and thought about flying a wingsuit. Past that I did a BUNCH of freefly jumps then soon donned a wingsuit. Ever since then, to get me to do a ff/belly jump better be a special occasion or absolutely no other wingsuiters to fly with. So to answere your question, I got into wingsuiting by doing a shitload of jumps, and having the need to go after my dream (literlally) of flying with no machine to keep me aloft. Muff #5048

See, that's the mean reply I was reffering to in our PM. I was going to say if you DO actually still jump, then I suggest "jumping" off the interweb for a while and making a few skydives instead of showing all the anger and hate you do here. Muff #5048

Ok. Ive got a serious, straight-up yes/no question. Do you jump? Seriously, I just want to know. Muff #5048

Why not? Does it affect the quality of their product? For that matter have you ever ventured into the SC? All these Mirage ads have done was to get skydivers talking about them... a lot! They accomplished this task. Now look at the marketing group. A bunch of people who want to both see naked people and be naked themselves (if you dont believe me check out the boob thread and the "male post whore glory" thread.. or just go to LP one year). I'm inclined to think they got more peoples attention for a "possible new customers" reason than not. Oh, and for the record, I fly Wings (and reccommend them to everyone buying new stuff). So really no bias here. Muff #5048

At my local tunnel, if you buy a hour they discount the time a bit. Either $10/min or $500/hour, so if you can get like 5 or 6 of you to all go, you'll each get 10 min or so and you can split the cost. Just a thought. Muff #5048

You must not have heard the whole song then. You Are My Sunshine My only sunshine. You make me happy When skies are grey. You'll never know, dear, How much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away The other nite, dear, As I lay sleeping I dreamed I held you in my arms. When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken And I hung my head and cried. You are my sunshine, My only sunshine. You make me happy When skies are grey. You'll never know, dear, How much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away. I'll always love you And make you happy If you will only say the same But if you leave me To love another You'll regret it all some day; You are my sunshine, My only sunshine. You make me happy When skies are grey. You'll never know, dear, How much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away. You told me once, dear You really loved me And no one else could come between But now you've left me And love another You have shattered all my dreams; Muff #5048

Yes it is. An older P2 that belongs to my brother, but even on MY P2 there's absolutely no reason for a BASE pouch. The arm wing is just too small. Hell, I even flew a X-Bird at z-hills without having any issue getting to the BOC, though if it DID have a BASE pouch I would likely use it. Muff #5048

Absolutely you can!. In fact, I would encourage it. The first time I used the BASE pouch on my V1 it took me 3 sec just to find the fucking hacky. Though now I use it as a matter of convenience and am VERY aware of how to deploy that method. Also, there's some stuff you (your rigger) would need to do to your bridal to make it work. Muff #5048

Sure does... except my suit is red. I didn't know they put that pouch on the P2 (what your suit looks to be). Ive only ever seen them on vamp's. Muff #5048

This. And yes, I do use my BASE pouch for skydives. Muff #5048

I can get you a 111 for $1150 locally. Muff #5048

A friend of mine who wingsuits with me all the time here used to jump an old ragged out tri. He had to have 10-15mph winds to land the thing softly (not saying a tri is a bad canopy, just that his had over 2000 jumps on it). Once he got a Pilot and flew it he was happier than a pig in shit. I used to jump a Nitron with my wingsuit, but after "getting out of line twists" became part of my routine, I got the Pilot. I'm just saying, that if you get a Pilot you wont be dissapointed... in my limited experience anyway. Muff #5048

"I just wanted to tell you both good luck. We're all counting on you" Muff #5048

This been a question Ive had as well. Ive seen pleanty of talk of the 2z, but I have absolutely no idea what seperates this from the P2. Muff #5048

Surppressor! No way can you "silence" the sound of a high vel progectile. But but but, I saw it on a movie and all my liberal friends think that a full-auto, suppressed weapon is a magic device that kills everyone. Here's a video of what happens with the suppressor taken off: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D307Lp_idbk Damnit Dave!!! How dare you provide trade youtube secrets on a public forum? Now every asshole with a .22 and a soda bottle may think they can get away with crimes without a trace. Muff #5048

Now why, exactly, would you do something like that? Hearing protection is a sign of weakness. Muff #5048

YES! Thats EXACTLY what it is. "Touch this hot thing to this green thing, and some majical thing will happen". Muff #5048

Um, nope. We're discussing firearms here. Not pellet guns. Muff #5048

How does it work? Got a link? Well, theres this steel tube with a tiny hole in the breach (the back end). You insert 1/4lb of 3Fg black powder down the muzzle (the buisness end) all the way to the breach. You then poke a small hole into the aluminum foil that the powder is wrapped in (via the tiny hole at the breach) and insert about 3" of cannon fuse. Next step is to put a golfball in the muzzle and pack it tightly (with a dowel rod or what have you) against the powder charge. The last step, and this is the important bit, you get some drunk asshole to light the fuse with some form of ignition (cigar, cigarette, lighter, wick fuse, etc). Voilla! Big boom with a high vel progectile. ROFL, same answer as mine, but much better worded.... Ya gotta "dumb-it-down" to the lowest possible level on this site. Edit: Just watch. Someone is going to ask "what's 3Fg?", though 1.5lbs of Winchester Super Target smokeless pistol powder would make for a much more interresting result. Muff #5048

Pretty cool, though I don't belive in the abuse of perfectly good alcohol in this vid. Personally I like Pete Hill's cannon better. It shoots golfballs at stunning velocities. Muff #5048

Just woke up. Yup I ain't doing shit today, at least not until I get motivated enough to get a shower and go get some food. Muff #5048
