  1. Hello! I am looking to get in touch with a rigger in Milwaukee, preferably close to Menomenee Falls... Thanks! Or could someone just tell what dropzone is closest to Menomenee falls? Please?
  2. Yeah he also released a statement on facebook saying he was going for a balloon
  3. Hey my time machine works!!! It's last year all over again
  4. Cool, did they mention what differences they brought to the suit?
  5. 1. Phantom 2. Phantom 2 3. Phantom 2z
  6. that's a different one, but I believe you're referring to the one where a bunch of wuffos thought they were seeing ufo's http://www.wingsuitnews.com/2011/01/ufos-in-elsinore.html Yes that was what I was referencing to, thanks for looking through WSN and posting this!
  7. I recall some ground footage of a 3way in Elsinore, they had it on the facebook page I think
  8. What happened that you had to chop the Storm? There was a time when any canopy could have a malfunction. Is that time over? Could just be sloppiness, could be a number of things I was just curious as boogies usually have good stories.
  9. yeah thanks, was gonna edit to add the link when I got home... Edit to add: That video is what skydiving is all about for me, sure its important to learn as much as you can and develop as much skill as you can but keeping things fun and original is what its all about for me.
  10. I was ready to bet my rig there was BASE video at the other end of that link... Here is ONE of my most inspirationnal: http://vimeo.com/m/28060095 Also one of night jump at summerfest of a bunch a guys wingsuiting with sparks but for some reason I cant post it with my phone...
  11. So what jump planes have jet engines close enough for me to get sucked in to?
  12. Those are all situations in the sky with plenty of speed but what about a BASE exit with zero speed like in the video? Could that play a big part in this?

    I can confidently tell you that not all PF dealers have similar practices, inquire before you order.
  14. I was under the impression there might be video of this speech?
  15. Actually looking forward to my first jump on US soil! This will be a trip for me ;)
  16. So this was the first time GPS was being used on a wingsuit flight in Elsinore?
  17. Did anyone take video of that lecture? Was wondering that myself!
  18. Actually what we like to do over here is get the pilot to do the first 90 degree turn so all we have to do once we're out the door is a another 90 and hit the gas. That way you are away from jump run and already heading the right direction. Thick ceiling like from 2k to 4k or something I would not jump even with a GPS I like to know I am in the clear when I deploy. FlyBlind does a great job of giving you heading, have not tested the distance option yet and now the season is over so I will give it a go in the spring.
  19. Bah... Those were mild, check out my last wingsuit jump this season: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpjZi7m9ApU
  20. You're still gonna gain vertical speed when going for the PC aren't you? Video shows him closing all wings.
  21. Wow can't believe your bitching about delivery time, you got a suit (all be it the wrong one but still...) within that 8-10 week advertised period. Then you get the suit you wanted 2 weeks later with a nice discount. All and all 12 weeks and a 20% discount for your P2z? Waited 7 months for mine and never got the compensation offered. Be happy dude could have been SO MUCH worse! Edit to add: PF was in no way responsible for the delay, US dealer was but still...
  22. I wonder if it would have been better for him to to go for max flight instead of the PC
  23. I hope this game isn't just for the coaches cause I want to play: 1: Tell your plans to the DZO 2: Find a coach 3: Liquor store is that way
