that's the costume, it's called the "x-box" :)

Ok no harm.. sounds like you picked up pretty quick on it.... I know some people who were able to do a solid sit on their first try -- some people, like I said, pick up on things quicker than others... how long have you been jumping the suit? what plane do you jump from? Kevin

when I click on the search in the top right corner and then click on forums on the dark blue row - it says forums are closed for maint. anyone else have this problem?

Well thanks for the tip - i personally feel that people develop differently in skydiving and someone with 200 jumps could do one thing better than someone with 400.. i've evaluated my skydiving "maturity" and feel that i am to the point where I can safely handle the suit. As far as the exit goes - i have practiced for the past 11weeks while waiting on the suit not only the exit but also the pull and waveoff procedures. Things are slightly different when you have an actual suit on.

Humm.. i just saw on TLC last night that the stories of cute women drugging up guys at bars and stealing their kidneys was not true.. so where did you get yours from?

Did everyone else just look over the fact the lease comes with 5 horses? Too bad they dont live next door, they could be *neeeeiigghh* bors. har har. :)

Does anyone know where Jussi Laine's home DZ is?? Or if he has a website? Some of his photos are just unbelieveable... would like to see some more... Kevin

Well she came, haven't named her yet, but she's here... my birdman suit that is -- ooo it is soooo sexy. :) White wings, black ribs, black tail, red body.. a little kid running around the DZ waiting on his mother to make a tandem told me I looked like a bird with that suit on :) guess that is kudos to the design team (and my color selection maybe?) anyway -- few questions to those who have the suits: Question 1: How tough is it supposed to be to get your booties on your feet??? When they are on and i'm standing up everything is good, when I bend my legs about 45 degrees they are tight.. the problem I'm running into is that I can't bend over to put the legs on because the legs come up when you bend over.. it's almost impossible to put them on.. how I get them on i'm not real sure, but I do manage to do it... Question 2: Secondly, I only had time to jump it once - and my exit SUCKED.... the first time I jumped a birdman suit the exit was good (i guess it's kinda like jumping for the first time - you don't know what to expect so you're not scared) now that I know what the suit is capable of i'm paranoid i'm going to fly up and it the horiz. stab. Jari had taught me to jump out sideways of the plane (otter) facing the front of the plane and as soon as you clear the door ARCH and spread your wings... which when I jumped with him that's what I did and had no problems.. now i guess i'm just a little paranoid.. so I did go out sideways but had everything collapsed for a few seconds ended up flipping over opened up my wings and everything was all good from there... any tips on exits? I woudl like to be able to exit and face the front of the plane the whole time not go flying off in some other direction

? not sure what you mean by that.. how would you test a landing with a prototype sled? I think the closest thing to testing a wingsuit landing would be to have a remote controlled "dummie" -- perhaps abyss creations (here (NSFW)) could help :)

i don't see it in the uploads directory, have it been moved?

that damn thing has been up there a while, I guess he never meets his reserve and re-lists it.. there was another mig for sale but it was currently in a million pieces - labeled as a "RESTORATION PROJECT" I think that went for about 70K or so... I wonder what year we will be able to buy a stealth.. or even an f-18 for that matter..

where the hell did you jump out of a kc-130?

Okay - if that is you post some non-competition pics.. maybe something with your rig? :)

Okay so i'm gonna ask a NWS01 type of question (i think he is the one with all the 'risque' comments) -- so did you tape down one of your boobies so that you'd have a flat chest on one side and a perky mound on the other?

Can't say anything about his music, but his website is nice :)

Humm... man I wonder what we can do to get some more bandwith, also the server thinks i'm downloading 2 files at one time or something it won't let me log in now :( The one video I did get down (dislocated) was pretty cool Kevin

Okay so where are the pics with mama's boobies?? Jraf?? Your proof?

Dude you sound like a girl I once knew.. "get it over with and finish up already" :)

Okay, so who is the one who waited till marriage?? C'mon you know who you are

yeah i was about to say, this looked awful familar..

Manual stimulation? That is something you only do as a winter hobby? Humm. Kevin

While I was in swizterland I stopped at a transportation museum, outside they were showing off this easycopter contrapation (here) which allows someone to learn how to fly a helicopter without the thing "leaving" the ground. It is a real heli strapped into a contraption that only lets the heli get off the ground a few feet, though you still "fly" it. Anyone seen these in the US? Seems like it would cut down on training costs. Kevin

Ahh wow you ordered before me, what color scheme did you get?? What did they run out of? Kevin

QUICK? My ass! My ex (girlfriend) was married the entire time we were dating (1 year) I don't think her divorce will EVER go through. She was seperated a year before we started dating. It's quick to get MARRIED .. takes for ever to undo that damn thing BTW - good luck zennie... now you have more time and more money which of course = more skydiving, right? :)

Humm.. well not in all 50 states I don't think. Dude, how old are you? When does she turn 18? :)
