I think the next WR is slated to be a 500 way. At least, that is what the Bigway camps are preparing for. 500-way: http://www.square1.com/manufacturers/square1/p1219.asp

And what about "Pack Like a Pro"???

Micro Sigma.

From Bill Booth: "Again, if pillows are so bad, why are they used as cutaway handles on 99% of the rigs out there?" Although I designed the "soft pillow" handle for the 3-ring release in the first place, I won't get into the discussion (too much) about whether it makes a good reserve handle for freeflyers. Most decisions in skydiving are tradeoffs, and this is certainly one of them. However, I do think a pillow makes a better cutaway handle than a reserve handle, simply because, where the pillow is in a cutaway situation, is much different from where it is in a reserve pull situation. Think about it. In almost all situations where a cutaway is needed, you're hanging from your main risers, and your main lift web, where your cutaway pillow sits, is pulled up and away from your body, so your cutaway pillow is literally right in front of your nose. Now think of where your reserve handle is in a total malfunction. It's down below your armpit, tucked tightly against your body, maybe even UNDER the webbing, and more than a little bit hard to see, especially if you're wearing a full face helmet. Now think how much a reserve pillow handle feels like your harness, or a fold in your jumpsuit, especially if you're wearing gloves. Now picture yourself low, out of time, and in desperate need of a reserve handle that you can't see or feel. Aren't you glad you bought that Cypres?"

Why do most Americans assume that there is only one country in the world (the U.S.) and everything has to take place there ... There are more than 200 other countries where rules are different and there is no FAA.

No wingsuit. He was flying under canopy, down the slope.

Why?

One new cool feature is the SPECTRA reserve ripcord (instead of metal cable), with a nice 'bungee' feature. Check it out!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1J_zE3eFdw Cool ! P.S. BTW, here is the Part Two of the above interview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSVRSIicQDk Enjoy

Wow! That IS low... There are some medicines that can make it go up, to normal, though. So, right now, if you were fighting with a horseshoe while freefalling thru 1500 feet, it would be around 100/60 ?

How low? 120/80 is normal.

What was the 'myth'?

This better matches 'inside the CRW'... (attached).

'Video removed'. Someone record it with a camcorder next time it is on the web for 5 minutes (and post it

One more came to my mind: 'condom' for the disc. It used to be bare metal only - not any more. Anything else

Isn't the transparent window MUCH bigger now?

What are they? I believe Sigma rig was released in year 2000, seven years later what has changed? I noticed: - Skyhook, - main pin cover is now "bent" for better tuck-in, - 'Micro Sigma' is now available, - magnetic riser covers, - transparent reserve pin cover flap (change ?), What else

That is correct. 100%.

Here is the cool interview with USPA Chris Needels, on Bush's previous skydives: http://video.google.pl/videoplay?docid=9043780136892049871&q=George+bush+skydive&total=17&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=0

I see now

Check this post, and the post below it, on how to do it: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1986307#1986307 But I agree, a selection box with three options: "Search only thread titles", "Search only posts' bodies", and "Search both titles AND bodies" would be nice.

Just like this one?: http://www.basik.fr/en/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=189&category_id=6&manufacturer_id=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=28

I guess it can be classified as a cutaway, or a jump from an aircraft, so here it is!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vV-Z1HbP4Ng How did he get separated???
