  1. We definitely need more girl birds in the sport. It would help if we didn't all perv on them. Say where is that cute little russian bird that was around a few ago?
  2. "wingsuit fly" Its funky and I like it!
  3. Nice, The lyrics mention wingsuit flying.
  4. I'm sure Jeff will relish taking her measurements. Its no obligation, he sez.
  5. Whoa! Thats a hella long list. I bet you he is qualified as some kind of wingsuit instructor or another, am I right?
  6. oh its very slimply a zp liner inside the sleeve thats sewn down the arm zips across the cuff and the arm pit opening, when the air goes in the valve it cant get out, Is the leading edge rolled foam gripper inside the sleeve or between the sleeve and outer shell?
  7. Yeah but if you'd have been drinking wine........ You think it should be a sticky? Its pretty good.
  8. First of all. No one should be swooping a tandem unless they are an accredited wingsuit instructor on a factory roster. Only someone such as a factory instructor has put in the time and effort to build their piloting skills to perform this safely but also professionally and with measurable precision. We don't swoop tandems as "target of opportunity" unplanned at the end of a dive. We only do this as a special request from the Tandem master. We ask that they specify proximity, approach vector, glide angle and speed. For all of this we charge the tandem master one jump ticket per swooper. It's worth it to the TM because it spices up the TM's deary existence of hauling meat 20 times a day while we have all of the fun. We do have discounts if they want a 6-way diamond flyby ( or more). We charge because we are "professional" and our time is worth it. Not just the 7 seconds of flyby glory time but the entire dive. All of the planning, the setup at the initial approach fix, calculating the tandems heading at the Fly by ETA. Yes, video is extra. We also Charge beer. Why because wingsuits are expensive and they suffer extreme wear diving down to approach fix. If they don't "pay beer" we just go into their fridge and take it because we are professionals. Please don't swoop tandems unless you are qualified and an instructor.
  9. Too many skydivers died because they didn't understand a little piece of gear, its limitations and its ability to be used incorrectly. Know your gear!
  10. The wait isn't the problem. The uncertainty is. I completely agree. I never said it was kosher. And I realize its much worse for an international customer.
  11. Why not? We have cowboys and horses and guns and prisons and mescins. All of those things you fancy back in tejas. And more dropzones to party at. Some of which have $15 dollar jumps.... more money to party yeah, I ain't lying.
  12. I feel the need to take one out of the skyvan

    I've jumped out of many balloons in Perris and still recommend Burner in Eloy.
  14. When you say bladder I'm imagining a cuff like on the blood pressure apparatus? But of course a picture is worth a thousand words. Maybe Matt can post a pic of the bladder.

  17. lol, she said she's moving to San Luis Obispo... Probably too far for ya, but she already knows who she wants so that's a moot point... I hope she is prepared to get her Atmonauti on!
  18. I'd have to be under canopy to know for sure, but I'm pretty sure I could reach my toggles like that. Quote Nice lets test it by pre-releasing a brake line and twist your bag up 4 times before putting it in your container.
  19. Dead set, Got tickets to burn. Saving cash for the following week @ Snore. One of the guys is in a way staff and can't get away.
  20. Four of us and maybe more will be down at San Diego Saturday. Mehbe we should co-laborate?
  21. We are all guilty of thread drift but typically, 70% or better, you gay -up a thread pretty bad! Just like Zach just did to this one. Police yourselves homos!
