Random wacky-assed skydive press clips
BMFin replied to quade's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
On the other hand, maybe if the DZ invested some time and money in educating the townspeople they wouldn't have this problem. - Jim Or if the old grandmas would stop calling police every time they see someone under canopy , they wouldnt have this problem... -

Maby they had a BIG drogue -
3000 pounds is just too much for that package. In Finland Vortex , 215 ZP.EXE , and decelerator 220 would cost about 2500 euros . (cypres +1000 euros) that is without taxes. I have never jumped those gear, but I know someone who just bought a vortex and it looks really good...

I guess they not so rare. Heres one triple setup in mirage harness from the gallery : http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/gallery/imageFolio.cgi?action=view&link=Photo_Submissions/Swooping&image=Konsta_water_swoop.JPG&img=&tt=

It would have been cool if the skysurfing scene would have been done with real snowboard bindings , as they ment it to look like. Allthough I recall seeing skysurf bindings on the air and suddenly snowboard bindings with a totally different stance on the snow... (correct me if im wrong) The paragliding scene was not realistic at all...But I guess even wuffos can notice that. The B.A.S.E scene was nice, allthough when Vin Diesel was "landing" you could clearly see that it wasn´t real. Small things but makes a difference..

howdy ! I would like to hear some opinions about the freefly handle for mirages. Should I get the hacky or the freefly ? Why ? What about triple riser setup ? What would be the advantages or disadvantages on that option ? Thanks !

Thats right ! I have never used Final Cut , but I have heard its really good. I guess I have to get it.

MacInntosh is very good for editing videos. I also have the iMovie in my new powerbook, but I dont think its anything really fancy. Its pretty much just ment for editing homevideos ... It has the basics , but If you wanna make a GOOD video , you need something more advanced...

I think "a land crew" is also mandatory . (somebody with a radio or a mobile) Also keep in mind that finnish C-license is not similar with USPA C-license. Here C-license is basically comparable to USPA A-license. (correct me if Im mistaken)

I think Arnold is No.1 !!! Every time I see Arnold Im about to choke in laughter. Im a huge Simpsons fan and always as i see the big guy it reminds me about McBain... Also one friend of mine does a really good Arnold imitation. Its sooooo FUNNY !!!

This is intresting... Actually Im really surprised that my family has not been really that worried about me skydiving. My mom for example has always been very supportive in this matter. But then again she is very worried about me barefooting or wakeboarding. Maby its becouse she has seen videos of me dipping bad... Its funny , sometimes I even get the feeling that why i she not worried enough ? All normal mamas should be worried .. right ? Well I guess wuffos have so different images about skydiving...

I agree... It would need at leat 100 takes to prove this theory. It was luck, but still I was very impressed that he could pick the winner the first time he ever tried predicting.

Im sorry about my bad english. Erno can transalate: miehillä lyhempi etusormi kuin nimetön. Naisilla pidempi etusormi verrattuna nimettömään. This is not a result of my personal scientific studies. I saw a document from TV wich was about mainly about fysichal differences between male and female. I also learned that every embrio is first actually a female !! The reason that makes a female start producing testosterone (and turn into a male) is unknown. Also the scientist who was explaning hes studies could actually predict the winner in a 100 meters running competition, by measuring the fingers from all of the contestants. Hes calculations turned out to be correct. He had never met any of the runners before.
-
To some point I agree... The length of the index finger compared to the legnth of the forefinger is pretty much correlated to the amount of testosterone the person has been exposed to. For example females have longer forefinger than index finger. Men again have longer indexfinger than forefinger.

Not from the linux ? Oh boy... I think i better go get some sleep now...

Im confused ... What are those toilet seats you people are talking about ? Here in finland we only have a hole in the floor.. Its a lot more simple and doesnt cause any divorces !!

Im not sure what PISA logo do you mean, but my hornet -logo is in VERY good shape. The warning-label is not that clear anymore though... It has 250 jumps See pic: http://www.netti.fi/~tlu/kuvat/image-006.html Thats what my canopy looks after 250 jumps (In this pic the canpy is above the previous owner, but it looks still exactly the same)

Inspired from freebirds post : a few simple questions : Whats the fastest exit -speed (horisontal) ever made ? What was he/she wearing ? What was the aircraft ?
-
I disagree. It depends on the angle you hit the water. But if were talking about a 90° straight towards the water impact, yes, then it doesnt really matter if its water or not...
-
Why ? Whats the biggest problem ? Do students have a lot of accidents in U.S ?
