  10. Yeah, but that goes back to that geeky sock thing. I mean look at chop chop. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  11. Kevin, Thanks for the post, nice reading, and I dispute none of it. I was just emphesising the point that wat works for you, works for you. What works for me may be different. I am fully aware that I go against some of the conventional wisdoms of wing suit flying. (Small loaded eliptical, pullout, short bridal, non-modded rig.) I don't advicate it, but I've found ways to make it work for me. Maybe I give up something, like not deploying below 4 grand. Whatever. Fly well. Fly far. Fly fast. Note: Results may vary, not tested on labratory animals, objects in mirror may be larger than they appear, offer not good in some areas, may cause drousyness, keep out of the reach of children. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  12. Uh....huh,huh, you said ... pineapple..... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  13. So dude, this Holister place. You've been there. It's cool? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  14. Why is it that my Tevas, stunk to high heaven till I burnt them, but my $2 Wal Mart Flip Flops never do? Wierd. Why do I care? How far is Holister from here? Is anyone listning? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  15. IMO I don't see anything wrong with flairing your body. The idea is to reduce your foward velocity, increase your vertical speed. The canopy will deploy in the direction relative wind takes it, so why not try to make that direction perpendicular with your torso. I see alot of people, especialy those learning, who get slung way out in front of their canopy. Even saw one guy nearly back flip through his risers. This does not need to be. A birdman deployment need not feel any different than a normal one. It's all in the tequnique. Whatever works for you. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    VIGIL

    Sound like the right info. Your speaking of the Cypres II. I supose the PUBLIC info release date and the Vigil's release date were pretty close in timing. The industry (vendors and manufacturers) were getting updates on the Cypres II as early as 2002. The longer service inteval was always one of the points AirTec was pushing. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  17. While I'm sure all these gear mods are sure to keep you from going in, the real lifesavers are awarenes, and preparation. I'm over 200 wingsuit jumps now, and I STILL practice deployment every time I put on the suit, starting with the heel clicks. When I feel my PC go out week or a hesitation in deployment I do something about it, spill more are, change my angle of attack. Reserve ride is the last option. I've got 2200+, on cutaway on jump 26 and one total because I was stupid and buletproof on #286, I'd like to keep it that way. Knock on wood. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  18. When I did a comparison, B&H was the comparable to the other vendors I'd used befor, and anyone else I had found with a lower price, I didn't trust, because of reviews, or history. Remember that Sigma 14 is a big heavy MoFo. I love mine, but... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    VIGIL

    Don't want to start a war here but do you really want to be a test dummy for these guys? I *might* be interested after they have a proven track record for 4-5 years, but ask the French RW team member who got dumped out on his reserve at 3-4000 feet. Sure hate to have that hapen around pull tim. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  21. When I figgure out if I'm being insulted or complimented I'll get back to you..... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  22. Destructive little *&%^$%# bastards. Imagine what they could do to a rig. They slow down a little when you hit em' w/ a shovel. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  23. Ditto. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  24. That could be arranged. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  25. If you really want to tame those openings, send them into Precision Aerodynamics, and have the X mod done. Better yet IMO, sell em' and buy a couple of Xaos's ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
