  1. Thanks all! - it didn't seem to keep recurring. It's still plugged in the same way but seems normal now. Might be time to test the outlet.
  2. I have a CX100 in a Cookie cage turned on with the charger plugged in. I just felt an electric charge coming off the cage when it touched my forearm - can't feel it through my fingers, but thinner skin I could definitely feel something coming off it. Anyone had a similar thing happen? Should I be worried about this? There's currently a lightning storm above my house too but I felt it just before it started.
  3. Thanks for posting - crazy video! I sure as hell wouldn't be forgetting that for a while.
  4. I just did 3 jumps on one of these for the hell of it and am limping already. If I come in on front risers am I going to get more lift in the flare, or am I just going to pound in faster? Aside from the landings, I like it.
  5. Thanks. It's always interesting finding out how these things work.
  6. Yes I have, I'm asking about a specific issue referred to by Billvon, question is not related to whether the OP should jump one (on that I'm sure the answer is 'no').
  7. Just out of curiosity, what was the issue with the Stiletto at 1:1?
  8. Lots of people have and will continue to do so -- and for far fewer $$$. This is just another marketplace choice. I reckon if anyone posted a pic of their big boy rig on the internet and claimed it was the future of wingsuit proxy they'd be ripped to pieces.
  9. Thanks, but why not just get a big boy rig? What's wrong with having a big reserve?
  10. I still don't see what's so special about it. Can't you freepack a BASE canopy into any skydiving rig that will fit it?
  11. I will definitely be using this terminology from now on.
  12. "The Republican nominee for Senate in Missouri."
  13. More whinging too, but It is time now for haiku Your form will not do
  14. I reckon they'd dock if they had hands.
  15. I think you have the right idea. Just get the gear that's right for you then you can do a billion jumps on it and have a ton of fun. Don't worry too much about how much value you'll get out of the canopy, you'll get heaps.
  16. That bloody Greg guy Fucken keeps carrying on Mods please delete thread
  17. And people say surfing DZ.com is a waste of time!
