  1. I know nothing about wingsuiting, some might argue I know a bit less than that even... What I do know is that it is better to get a smaller suit and try to get the most out of it than to get a bigger suit and try to get less out of it! That however is not knowledge, just logic Now I just need to learn how to get my fat ass to push that little suit to its limit
  2. So Dave are you saying there are that many pilots out there not going for a manufacturer rating and that a USPA rating will get them to teach? I just don't see how a USPA rating will bring more coaches! In any case chances are people will need to travel for the ratings regardless
  3. I got a new P2z last summer and since then I jump in less than dry conditions (thick clouds, border line rain, humid days and so on) and I also packed on grass and damp carpet... Never had any stains or issues other than the effects of downwind landings
  4. This thread reminds me of placing a handful of Mentos up your backside before getting a Coca-Cola enema. Not fun and s**t everywhere ... I'd pay to see that episode of Mythbusters. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XxKYUEqCt8
  5. Pretty sure that movie has been done for long time but they ran into distribution problems
  6. Ok I won't beat you over the head with it or anything but the free version does everything YOU need it to do, you won't be able to save all your jumps to it but you can load and analyse them one by one with that very graph drunk sent you of your .csv To bad you are so quick to dismiss the free version without even trying it, sounds like it would have saved YOU the frustration of dealing with single info tracks instead of overlays... Byh the way FUCK YEAH on those flights man!!! Hey you can actually call those flights now lol
  7. Well Lurch, Paralog is free you know... It's a pretty small download too! Granted you will not be able to save a log of all your jumps but for now all you need is the free version to analyse your jumps one by one. You will have that pretty graph that shows the red altitude line (which Flysight Viewer has as well) to show everyone the climb. After all this is what all this is about isn't it? Showing everyone that wants to see ::Oh and by the way you can zoom in and out in the flysight viewer with the mouse buttons and you can select which portion of the graph you want to zoom in on by highlighting that portion
  8. So no POV footage? No GPS data? Really? Damn!
  9. How sick is that POV shot gonna be!!!
  10. Gary Connery has successfully become the first man to jump out of a helicopter in a wingsuit without deploying a parachute.
  11. Yeah, just saw practice jump! Should be any minute now... I guess he just needs to pack
  12. It's not like there is prize money or anything, I think this is meant to be fun for everyone! How the hell is aircraft speed relevant 3 000' after exit? The window is there, fly your ass off and if you don't score in the top 3 try again. I think performance flying is fun mostly because I can compete against myself otherwise what is the point of getting the best score? Are you gonna give it up when you beat everyone on that list? The list is fun and helps to push people to fly better
  13. I would vote for some injuries but nothing major, that option is not there so I voted for success
  14. I think this was about the fee for the coach course as well as general fees encountered throughout ones skydiving career, not just the annual fee

    Actually the airplane version of the Apache XRW is called Apache Rebel! Got the pic off facebook...
  16. I don't think he can fit all that cardboard in a TSA approved carry on. Depends on how wet it is LOL
  17. My logic was logical, I am a beginer so I got a suit for beginers (Phantom 2z)... Before it arrived I got to practice on a smaller suit (Firebird)! I am happy I got to practice on something smaller before getting the P2 When I will consider myself intermediate I will get an interediate suit! In reality what is going to happen is everyone here will tell you to get a smaller suit but at the dropzone everyone will tell you to get a bigger suit... That (in my experience) is how wingsuiters are! Can't tell you how many times I asked for advice and sure enough "get a bigger suit" comes back every time. I think you (and everyone else) should learn to fly a smaller suit like a fucking bad ass, at least thats what I am working on...
  18. Sure but there is something to be said about exploring the limits... And I am pretty sure alot of people on that ppc board have sponsors helping out along the way
  19. Its a wingsuit fir memory cards if thrown off of something high
  20. Yes it can... http://www.journeyman.tv/?lid=63218
  21. Well done, cudos to all involved!
  22. Good work, do you have a flysight to compare data?
