I've been making 4 a day in the early years. Maxing out a wingsuit last summer, i felt like 2 a day were enough - perfomance starts to degrade as you get tired. You do need West wind (or no wind) for Smell. The entire summer weather is unpredictable, but i had good luck over the years towards the end of the season. bsbd! Yuri.

Yo ! Jeb's new TV show "Stunt Junkies" premiers today at 10pm on Discovery Channel. http://dsc.discovery.com/fansites/stuntjunkies/stuntjunkies.html bsbd! Yuri.

"Crash" the movie - does it sum up America's so called "melting pot"?
outrager replied to Newbie's topic in Speakers Corner
I loved the movie and would agree that it accurately reflects on what's going on on the East Coast as well as. However i hear that there's a huge empty space between East Coast and LA that's mostly white and boring. Nothing's going on there bsbd! Yuri. -
Only if you don't have a car A seat in the club's bus is 50NK. You can also try to hitchhike. Not even in the same league. ITW requires about 1.5 to reach LZ and 1.7 to the bar (1200m/1.5km..1.7km). Smell #1 needs about 2.4 to the shoreline (940m/1.7km) and about 2.8 to the White House (2.0km). Flying across the fjord is much easier, about 1.2..1.4km if i remember right, but LZ is tight. bsbd!

That's way less than that guy Miles made in just one day. Slacker! bsbd! Yuri.

Dude... can you change your nickname back to Veter, so we can proceed with BASE Bounce Bingo? bsbd! Yuri.

Kris, how's your glide? If you can stay at 2.4 for a minute, Smell is a much better flight then Kjerag. A short 30min hike gets you the most altitude in the area and you land right back at the campground... as many times as you want, absolutely free! #8 might justify going all the way to Kjerag, though. It's beautiful and only takes an easy 1.5L/D to survive

Of course they are not base jumps, silly, they are wingsuit flights! BASE is sooo retro. Only fools and birdshit fall from the sky. Love your posts! Keep it up bsbd! Yuri
-
As far as i'm concerned this thread is silly, since unpacked launches are not BASE jumps bsbd! Yuri.
-
Agreed. I never felt a significant turbulence in a wingsuit on a skydive, however it does exist somewhere. On some cliff jumps i flew through turbulence that was not only strong enough to be felt, but enough to significantly degrade the glide by ruining the balance. bsbd! Yuri.

And once JTHolmes is banned permanently, calling him an idiot here would not be a personal attack by the forum rules, right ? Until then, i would like to kindly express my displeasure with his questionable ethics. bsbd! Yuri.

Yo ! I'm glad that you came out of it mostly intact. Happy New Year!

So true! I vividly remember Dwain breaking the tail on chineese rockets to randomize their trajectory... bsbd! Yuri.

Yo ! These days you need a quad-band GSM phone to cover the world: 850 and 1900MHZ in US, 900 and 1800 everywhere else. Tri-band is not enough any more. bsbd! Yuri.

Sweet! Gary, you rule!

I don't use any I believe it makes no measurable difference. A really bulky full-face would probably degrade perfomance a tiny bit. bsbd! Yuri.
-
Why not a full-face carbon fiber ProTec? Many of my friends in Moscow use it for BASE. They are extremely happy: http://photofile.ru/image.php?id=7482194 http://photofile.ru/image.php?id=7484458&pager=4 If i wanted less protection and more comfort/perfomance, i would probably get Stinger - it looks very cute and the price is right. bsbd! Yuri.
-
Sweet! I will take you up on this offer. Is it coach or business? bsbd! Yuri.
-
Yo ! If you were given unmarked Troll MDV/DW and Flik VTec, chances are you couldn't tell which one is which in the air. They are very similar and equally good. There's noticeable difference between 4 and 5 control lines, and it probably boils down to personal preference. I jump both setups and neither is a clear winner. Do a search on the board, this subject has been discussed to death. bsbd! Yuri.
-
Wrong! There is no excuse for hitting a guy wire on a slider-up jump. A properly executed tower jump makes it impossible to hit the wire. Striking the wire (or flying between them unintentionaly) is not an accident. It is a result of very poor planning and substandard skills. I really hope you and your buddies come to realize this. Maybe go back to the bridge and DZ for some training? bsbd! Yuri.

A funny thing i discovered about France: you don't need to speak french - as long as you don't try to speak english either! When i ask somebody there in spanish or russian, they will happily offer an answer in english. If i asked the same people the same question in english, i would only get a blank stare Once you figure this little trick out, France is awesome! bsbd! Yuri.
