    Free flying. You can put a handful of experienced skydivers in a plane, add a couple people with under 50 jumps each, and make multi-point flat jumps which everyone finds fun and challenging. Put a handful of typical skydivers together with a few hundred jumps for a freefly and the best likely outcome is a safe jump where you can see everybody from exit to break-off. Frustration with the later really limits who gets invited to jump with whom which is a big problem for new skydivers and has to be affecting the attrition rate. Winner winner, chicken dinner. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Didn't you know head down with tandems is against the rules! Actually head down tandem fall rates (no drogue) are not significantly faster than a belly to earth tandem fall rate with no drogue out. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are.

    Untrue. With the proper bridle length, the chances of leaving the P/C in the burble are lower than with a throwout. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    I've not ever recieved a good answer for that. I have about 350 wingsuit jumps, most with a pull out and never had a problem. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    So gay. I mean like a spinach dip in a loaf of sour dough bread gay. You probably LIKED the movie "Maid in Manhattan." Do you listen to Coldplay? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    What route are ya'll taking? I gotta figure out how I'm gonna cut you off again. Maybe see you in FL. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    QuoteBased on what evidence? And surely not for all skydiving? I know of a couple of people who use pull out for wingsuit jumps (against the manufacturers recomendations), but i sure as hell wouldn't! BOC, in my opinion, for wing suit flying is much safer! Quote Throw out. THROW OUT!!!!!!!!! And why in your opinion do you think that Throw out is safer for wingsuit jumps? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Sounds like a nice rig, however if you're at 1:1 on a 170, that reserve is to small for you. As amatter of fact a 170 might be too small for you as you're jumping in CO at a 5100 field elevation, and your reserve canopy's certified acceptable operating and deployment limits get much lower the higher you go. Don't forget that you won't be deploying it at 5100 MSL (at least we hope not) but infact quite a bit higher than that. Select your reserve accordingly. The Tempo is a fine canopy, but that one is not right for you. Pass on it. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    THis one of the same knuckleheads that told you the Javlin was crap? Oppinions are rampant in this sport. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    IT"S CALLED A THROW OUT FOR CHRIST SAKE!!!!!!!!!!!! ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    So the instructors and videographers that jump their aren't "real" skydivers? They shouldn't be given the opportuity to jump at a GM DZ when they work? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Most pullouts ARE BOC! BOC means Bottom of Container and refers to the location of the deployment handle. BOC dose NOT exclusively mean THROW OUT. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Honestly that can be said of people in general, not just specific to here. What? You don't like butt sex or something? I second your very legitimate inquiry. Yeah Beth! I mean, if these two can enjoy some healthy prostate-stimulating butt sex, what could you have against it? I'll be happy to wear the strap on You big flirt, you....... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    (or something like that) then a couple of people died because of a technical fuck up on the crossfire. Icarus pulled the pin on precision because they fucked up! (then the Xaos was spawned) the crossfire 2 was developed. and is arguablt the best all round mid range canopy on the market. then the rights to the icarus designs were sold to and american company and a spanish company.*** Ire same Icarus corperation holds the ownership of the designs AFAIK. NOW Daedalus is not Icarus so americans and spanish cant make them. So JVX,GLX, GLS and soon to be JSX are from NZaerosports exclusively. I may be wrong but from what i understand this is how it is. and I was told JVX stands for Jims VX? He really works hard in many areas does Jim Slaton and is really pushing the sport of canopy flight in leaps and bounds. my $0.2 ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are.

    Wuffos often think jumping out of an airplane is stupid shit. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Ditto. It does require TI's to exersize judgement about who they let video them, and hold fast to those decisions no matter what the pressure put on them is. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
