Some bail-out emergency ram-air pilot rigs have no toggles and are designed to be steered and flared on rears.

It is a recurring cycle. Hopefully the wing suit world will grow big enough that we can respect a variety of groups. Yup, and bless the folks that just "do there own thing".

Think he's looking for a lens for his still camera. His Canon 10D. Not a video camera. ltdiver But yes Rob its still open. I replaced an ejected wide agle lens there back in october. The sell some new items also.

I'm no gentlemen... but I keep my word.

That specially long white scarf just doesn't look right without the helmet.

My two hardest freefly impacts are both on video and in excellent focus..... I wish they didn't exist.

If you're known on the DZ eventually someone will ask you to jump without your suit and you'll have to say yes. Actually I've gone to boogies fully intending to mix it up and people beg me to get on more wingsuit jumps and sometimes first flights with them. I was 100% wingsuit until the X-fest and still managed a handfull of flockmonauti in between the atmonauti. Freefly skills suffer when you don't do them regularly for 8 months. I've been jumping at San Diego for a couple of years and just managed my first non- wingsuit jump there a weekend ago.

Ira, we can't seem to talk him into sitfly. Its been years for him, I'm guess'in 300~600 jumps strictly wingsuit. I'm pretty sure both his first and second helo jumps were wing equipt. And his first cut away since the sixties, wingsuit. I know he doesn't own any skydive garments other than wingsuits. Come to think about it I think its time for another Ira boogie!

Most Socal male divers hate taking their So's SCUBA diving unless they can shag allof their gear up and down to water. The littler the girl the more lead. Most married guys stop diving for this reason. If its not at a resort or plush boat the girls don't go. Don't even get me started about cold water.

Yes their arms would fold up behind them braking their bones.

The alarm comes before the onset of the stall. Don't let that Embrey Riddle stuff fool you That craft and this sport rely on a more than healthy dose of judgement. Look up the triple fatal accident of one of their students, his friend and his girlfriend when he was back in Portland on holiday brake and how low he was when buzzing the house with a rented aircraft. Flight safety INT and JFK jr is another one. Well unless some cockpit hanky pankey was going on. Good training is good, judgement is mandatory!

You know some people are taught to fly the canopy with, among other things, their front risers. If they fly the pattern on fronts and also to final without a dramatic input it might not be considered a swoop.

They will be out of business as soon as the makers of Kroil can drop their price per can.

3.14159 is pi...but apart from that I have NO idea what you are on about... By my guestimation he is about his fith,fith of skydiver soda. Might even be non-liquid skydiver refreshment.

Ok, ya know the plastic trim around the edge of our helmets?
VectorBoy replied to kansasskydiver's topic in The Bonfire
Yes , that trim can sometimes be found in automotive supply houses they call it...... trim. -
Well, so long, and thanks for all the fish.

From what I have heard of the z-bracing, I'm guessing it looks like this? Does your diagram represent one cell?

You can go to the manufacturer online they have charts as to what filters against what. OSHA online has info also but you better be good at government speak. You are right though all you need is a charcoal ( organic vapor )cartridge with a little foam pre filter for nuisance dusts. These last for many months the ones that filter harsher chemicals and amines are considered bad within a few months of opening the wrapper or sooner.

Research has been done on spraying less than leathal incapacitating agents on hostlie forces for many decades. We heard rumours of stuff that works like mortared in ecxtasy giving the other guy a nice "acid trip" for a while.
