Shit, this thread has been up for a month, and I just noticed that I said 5'1"!! I meant 5' 11". Oops!!! 13,500' to the ground. We're dressed like clowns. The door's open. Hit it!

This issue is very serious, and it's killing me. I'm sorry to have to inject the tiniest bit of sick humor, but: I generally "pull myself" after I get home, and NEVER while in the air with students!! Of course, I am no AFF I either! 13,500' to the ground. We're dressed like clowns. The door's open. Hit it!

After doing that, how much would you pay for an "I am a Center-Hitter" certificate? Or would the satisfaction of knowing you hit it be enough. That seems to be the discussion. 13,500' to the ground. We're dressed like clowns. The door's open. Hit it!

It seems like I've seen pics of 70's wingsuits that looked just like flying squirrels. I would think that this would be the first design tries, as it has been so obvious in nature. Anyway, I thought those early suits had a lot of blood in their history, but that could be due to the other equipment in use at the time, too. 13,500' to the ground. We're dressed like clowns.

Because the cost close to $2000, and why shell out that kind of cash when you know the performance doesn't improve SIGNIFICANTLY. I guess some of them have cool names. 13,500' to the ground. We're dressed like clowns. The door's open. Hit it!

So, if your spotting skills and depth perception are a little off do you: A) Go long and "land" somewhere near the parking lot on flat ground? (OUCH) or B) Go short, and hit the uphill side of the peak? (OUCHer) 13,500' to the ground. We're dressed like clowns. The door's open. Hit it!

I'll buy most of that. However, just looking at stills of birdmen in action, it sure looks like the suit is put together with the leading edges of the front wings going over the arms; so I would think that inverting would provide at least a less smooth airfoil. The back wing looks to also be sewn to the top of the jumper's ass. OK, maybe not directly to the jumper's ass... 13,500' to the ground. We're dressed like clowns. The door's open. Hit it!

Hey Kris, throw me the birdie suit and have Kevin fire up 38 Delta, we're going to the lake!(belllllch) Yeah, yeah, just like you were going to take your reserve off of the water tower last weekend before you passed out. Shut up Missy! Eat me, Kris! Hey Kev, you too drunk to fly? Hang on, I gotta take a $hi#!! 13,500' to the ground. We're dressed like clowns. The door's open. Hit it!

I think that rolling on your back would cause the lift of the wings to be exerted downward, causing your vertical speed to increase (I would think) significantly. I could be wrong..??..HELP! 13,500' to the ground. We're dressed like clowns. The door's open. Hit it!

I am not being a smart ass here, but it may sound like it. Sorry in advance..Like has been said before, get some serious canopy coaching w/radio & video, possibly at another DZ. ALSO, Get a mattress and work on PLF's off the bed or sofa while you watch TV. Sounds like that has been the real cause of your injuries, other than needing some canopy training. Good luck, I'm sure you'll get it down!! 13,500' to the ground. We're dressed like clowns. The door's open. Hit it!

Uh, impromptu handcuffs in the Frankenotter after everybody goes to bed? Naaaaah, that would never happen. I'm not the man they think I am at home, no; I'm a rocket man. Sky World

C'mon, with all of these innovations in wingsuits, somebody's got to be trying to get rid of their old one and upgrade. Hopefully somebody who's about 5'1" and fat!! I'm not the man they think I am at home, no; I'm a rocket man. Sky World

I didn't know mirage could retrofit those. Does it have to be a G3??? I'm not the man they think I am at home, no; I'm a rocket man. Sky World

New nickname for Kris!!! If you guys didn't know, he has, until this little incident, been known as Master D, or the Master o' Distaster. I do believe that we can now bestow the monaker "Muay Thai Master D." Congratulations Van Damme!! I'm not the man they think I am at home, no; I'm a rocket man. Sky World

I don't know if one has, what bothers me is that the possibility exists. Why attach it if you don't have to? If the possibility doesn't bother you, keep doing it! It's still a sport of personal freedom, and things tend to get 'what if'ed' to death. Still the possibility is there. I'm not the man they think I am at home, no; I'm a rocket man. Sky World

what do u think about the pics in the contest?
SkyMissy replied to Zlew's topic in Photography and Video
Gee, I bet the frame grabs just won't do as well as higher quality images. Or should they be removed? It won't hurt my feelings, go ahead. I'm not the man they think I am at home, no; I'm a rocket man. Sky World -
Any hybrid dive I've been on, and that's only 3 but they were all organized by Chris Fiala, the grips were on the mud flaps which cover the main lift web near the 3-rings. I haven't seen any on leg straps, but it might not be a bad idea, who knows? I'm not the man they think I am at home, no; I'm a rocket man. Sky World

I missed the show, but did catch the trailer the other day. They said, "See Joan Lunden become the FIRST CIVILIAN to ever jump with the Army's Golden Knights." I rolled. I had no Idea that David Hasselhoff, and the numerous other "guests" of the knights were actually black ops personnel planted in places of influence, yada, yada, yada.....Love that press!

Correctly made mini 3-ring riser pictures
SkyMissy replied to billbooth's topic in Safety and Training
Does anyone manufacture mini-risers "stock" with a large 3-ring setup? I'm not the man they think I am at home, no; I'm a rocket man. Sky World -
Maybe there is confusion about what was meant by "chest out". I think of arching the chest, which puts the head & shoulders back, and causes a belly-to-earth slide. Maybe the original poster meant "upper body forward", like a bend at the waist, which WOULD cause a back-to-earth orientation. Anyway, who knows. Let's all love each other!!!! Wait, dammit Clay, not that way.

I think I've still got presription bottle grenade shrapnel in the back of my knee from our "realistic" war games of childhood. We were dumb enough to cap each other w/bb guns, and lob scrip bottles with black cats in them at each other...for about two weeks. Luckily, nobody lost an eye. What a bunch of dumbasses. Anyway, now I get to toss students, oh the irony..... I'm not the man they think I am at home, no; I'm a rocket man. Sky World

To turn, I have found that generally, your body will follow your head. Look right-Turn right, etc. For me this applies to both sit and head down. I believe that there is probably some slight twisting of the torso caused by the head turn, however this is not conscious to me, it just feels like looking initiates the turn. Of course, you can look around without turning, so there must be some subconscious compensation going on in that case. Maybe I'm crazy. I dunno. But try looking one direction and "will" a turn, I bet it works. By the way, in head-down, forward and backward movement can be controlled just by moving the head forward & backwards (like a chicken :)).
