Yeah I didnt notice that until after I posted the pics, but I wasn't about to put all that gear back on and re-set up my camera just to hide it. Good eye though. Muff #5048

When in my post's did I ever say swoop? Oh no, I actually put myself over the ground at the right alt to make the pea's using whatever canopy input is needed (most times it involves front risers). Ive never actually "swooped" EVER. I always plane out way high and land with a normal flare. I just fly my wing to make it do what is needed to achieve a desired result. Either way, pulling at 2,500' isn't something that should be frowned upon. Muff #5048

Or unless you front riser yourself faster than the others. For me it's open, slider, chest strap, check for traffic, 2 360 toggle turns, deep brakes on base and a 270 on final. Easy. Muff #5048

Fuck no! Why would i want all that canopy traffic!! Well...... If you dump at 2k thats not really a problem now is it? Muff #5048

OK, you're crazy. That is some really flawed logic. You should never rely on vertical separation. What happens when the guy above you has a high speed mal? Sure, pull low if that's what floats your boat, but separation is NOT a valid reason for doing so. Ok I'll clarify for you a bit. When doing a bigway I'm usually on the outter ring. On breakoff if anyone is tracking EXACTLY over top of me then they are just wrong. Also, someone having a high speed mal usually has a hard deck 500' above my pull alt so if, after my snivel, they are still overtaking me with a mal again WRONG. I dont pull when I do JUST for vertical seperation, but also to track just that extra little bit (and yes I'm one of those that opens in a track). Hope that clears it up a bit. Oh and when it comes to wingsuiting pulling at 2,600', if I cant see a canopy below me then I fail at skydiving period. I'm not saying everyone should do it. I'm just saying its what works for me. YMMV Muff #5048

Ive got a Pilot as well (a 150), and I generally pull at about 2K on bigways and h&p's and about 2,600' on wingsuit jumps. Call me crazy, but I want to make DAMN sure there isn't anyone near me when I open and since most others are afraid to pull that low (which isnt really THAT low) I'm 98% sure I'll never be opening near anyone. BTW, on the 2k pulls I generally saddle at about 1,500' and on 2,600' pulls I usually saddle out by 2k. Either way, pleanty of time to "deal" with stowing wings/slider/ loosening chest strap ets... Also, I hold a C license so its all legal and what not. Muff #5048

+1 The shelter has so many good animals that need a home! +2 That and they already come up to date with their shots and usually come with the micro chip in case the little fucker runs off. All my pets growing up came either from a shelter or were found homeless. FWIW, I live in an appartment and the only thing that keeps me from adopting one (aside from being in the military and nobody to watch it if I deploy) is that my appt charges a $400 pet deposit plus an increase in my rent by $25 per month (non returnable).

Now see, thats thinking! It would cause no detriment to other cars, yet teach this asshole a lesson. I like it... And to think, I really dont like kids, but I dislike people puting other peoples kids in danger more. Muff #5048

Better yet, Wait till you can see him coming next time and throw a handfull of roofing nails out in the street. Just be sure to pick up the ones his tires dont after he goes by. Muff #5048

So here's a couple vids I got from 2 flights today with my friend. We worked on over-under drills on the first vid then docked flying on the second. Hope you guys enjoy, and you can skip through the canopy flight stuff if you want. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mt7kjPNd630 Muff #5048

+1 Nice suit in your avatar BTW. Muff #5048

That's 'Style'...something you kids know nuthin' about! I beg to differ. What is shown in that vid is nothing more than standard AFF training. Something any skydiver these days should be able to accomplish. Muff #5048
-
Seriously though, I have all the respect in the world for all these old people, but how does any of this relate to MY safety and training? This thread should exist in the "history and trivia" forum. I mean, a round reserve?!? Those goffy-ass freefall positions? And the biggest thing is there's not ONE wingsuit in this entire vid! Muff #5048

Why are those guys all jumping tandem canopies? Muff #5048

Just curious. Does this problem also appear in the Vigil II? I thought they had sorted that out on the newer models. Muff #5048
-
Ive had my Vigil II all summer. Not once has it fired when we opened the door at 1k. Was it a C182 door? Opening a lexan door in an otter/caravan or similar is of course a different scenario with much less of a sudden pressure change. It was not, but in the original post a certian aircraft wasn't included. Muff #5048

Yuppers. And thanks. I was above and behind them the whole time, saw them deploy then had some fun. Muff #5048

So here's a vid that my friend shot of a w/s flight we did this weekend. If you notice, you'll only see me twice in this vid. Once just on exit, then see if you can spot where you see me the second time. BTW, I'm in the red suit not the black one. Enjoy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtYWlSwt2NM Muff #5048

Are you knucking futs?!? You would have wingsuiters flying circles around you as tightly and quickly as possible. Being a spectator on a blind curve of a rally course sounds safer. Muff #5048

Just got done talking to my brother about this. Sounds like fun and I wish I could be there. Come to think of it, if I play my cards right I MAY be able to make it. He wasn't sure of dates, but if these are accurate I might be able to swing it. Dont think Ill be any competition in the flocking events, but in the racing around a course in my V1... who knows.
