It must been so cool having your own dad and daughter as a passengers. And considering my finacial status I think that waiting to become TM would be the best option. Plus I can always charge them a jump.

LOL It is so true. I can't see that. Nor do I think that any brother can say that for his sister. Jerry81...you wanna trade pictures? And Rob, about skydiving as family activity, father told once that he would like to try tandem, and I'm thinking to by him a jump, but I'm so broke last 3 years.

It will not be boring that's for sure.

If it is about beer, then she is older than me sometimes.

Well, I could not persuade her to watch skydiving movies whit me before (to be honest I balckmailed her to do that whit me two or three times), and now she talks... She eaven told me that it would be good for me to have her jumping 'cos we could share the money for gas. She is 23.

...is sitting behind me and watching TV. There was some comercial on it and 2 second of parachuthing in it. Her words was:- It is accuracy canopy isn't it? I sad: -Yes. See how I know (whit proud on her face) And she don't even skydive. She was last weekend whit me on DZ for the first time. We were there for an our, I did 2 quick jumps. There was accuracy tuffet, and guys doing some accuracy landing and some students. When we get back home I asked her what she think, will she start skydiving. I was joking whit her and teasing my mother sitting by us. Her response was - Yes I would like to. Whit a big smile on the face. She was serious. Mother almost got heart attack. I tried to remit the situation by explaining sister that skydiving is not only jumping from planes but also a packing and waiting, and stuf, bla bla...and that she would hate packing and all, and her reply was like... Well I saw packing...(her words) You have two pair of bands, i don't know how much of them is, that help you to make canopy even on the ground, you put one pair in one hand and other in another, and then shake it and put it on the ground. Then you do S folds on it, I'm not sure how, but you must keep lines in line. And there is square peace of parachute that is separated from it that you need to pull back up the lines. Then you put it in the black thing whit rubbers and put lines in rubbers, and you put all that in rucksack. I was She just sited there and I did not notice her paying attention on a guy packing skymaster. She never pays attention on anything. Then she asked me why my canopy was faster than the others, and why I did not jump on "sponge" like others, and how that black thing on "sponge" measure how far someone is. I explained her what they do and what I do (better what I try to do) and asked would she like to do accuracy or what. Her words was: "No I would like to just fall, fly and be free." I think she is a born skydiver.

Yeah the guy is crazy. And he flies Crossbow. I think that Robi should find the way to put the wheels on SF3 if he ever decide to fly one.

Thanks Craig.

Can you or someone else extract direct link for download other movies on that page. I don't know how to do it and I have slow connection for wiewing itfrom page. I'm interested to see particularly this movies... http://para-net.org/paramag/archives/directlive/direct184/direct.html http://para-net.org/paramag/archives/directlive/direct182/direct.html http://para-net.org/paramag/archives/directlive/direct180/direct.html http://para-net.org/paramag/archives/directlive/direct176/direct.html I know that I should instead of last part of that address (direct.html) ad /images/nameofmovie.mpg but I don't know exact (short) name of any movie. Thanks. I.P.

I don't think that the speed would be problem for the skier. If I remember correctly speedskiers record is near 250km/h. Just the right angle of slope and good flier whit HUGE balls and PERFECT timing. But it would be really hard to accomplish it. I wonder how come they did not put a skier whit helmet cam downhill to record him flying by, or passing by him...

Maybe we (actually Loic Albert) are not that far from birdman-skier docking.

LOL Imperialism was normal? To whom? I'm shure it was not normal for opressed people.

Well, here is that movie. http://para-net.org/paramag/archives/directlive/direct193/images/soul2.mov

Thanks!

Yes like that.

Anyone know how to extract direct link to videos? I have slow connection and I would like (must) to download them first. Thanks

Well, I did not read article 'cos it is on French, so I don't know anything about he passing the skiers, but it would be fun to see it.

I saw it today on Eurosport, and it was report from Mali.

See the thread Loic and Soul fliers, ManBird posted two links for it.

We don't do that here in Croatia (and in Slovenia as far as I know). But it probably should do it 'cos two weekends ago I stopped a guy from jumping his rig without properly routed chest strap. He had old accuracy container whit velcro on chest strap and he routed the strap just once without bringing it back trough metal again (hope you know what I'm saying) The velcro kept it at the place. He was already at the door and merely after my third pointing to his strap he figured what he did (not do). I.P.

I saw the movie tree days ago in Paris La Geode cinema. They use OMNIMAX projection system, the screen is giant hemispheric ball and you are sitting inside it, so it has 3D effect, and you need to move your head if you want to see whole picture. The movie was spectacular, it looked like it is happening right in front of me because of that 3D effect and even my wuffo friends were amazed. If you could somehow put air tunnel inside of that projection hall you almost could not tell the difference. Maybe the days of virtual skydiving are not that far. I.P.

Thanks for answers. I.P.

Two months ago I saw (from a plane) pair of large birds at 11000ft+ IP

Is this a lineover that was cleared by self in opening procedure? The jumps are in this movie, at 41s of movie and in another jump at 3:11. The movie is "Gato" from headdown.net Thanks, I.P.

That is what is happend when I don't read carefuly threads.
