  1. Hi everyone, At the recent Desert Boogie in Swakopmund, a coupla guys from SA had Sugargliders. Very interesting looking design. Now I was wondering if anyone has flown a wide range of suits ie: S-Fly, Matter2, Sugarglider, V1, S3 etc...and could come to a conclusion of which suit ranks as best. Best as in glide ratio/performance/maneuvrability/forward speed/downward speed etc. The reason is that especially with the S-Fly, Matter2 and Sugarglider they look pretty much the same. (obviously they have their differences). Cheers, Courteney. ...drags me down like some sweet gravity!!!
  2. That is just so fucked up!!! Whoever did that should not only be kicked off the dz.com, (or any dz), but should be sued and then kicked in the nuts, (provided it's a he), by everyone here. Low life SOB. Good luck with the new job...sure something kick ass will come along. ...drags me down like some sweet gravity!!!
  3. Gonna have to wait for mine now, was supposed to get it today but the tat lady up and left...so I went and did a birdie jump instead. Oh well one day... ...drags me down like some sweet gravity!!!
  4. Not neccesarily. If a fired bullet doesn't hit anything hard it will maintain it's original shape. Depending on the composition of the said bullet. Solids have been pulled from a wet pack, (bundle of wet magazines) that have still kept their original shape. A bullet shot straight up will spin until it stops then will tumble on the way down. ...drags me down like some sweet gravity!!!
  5. I call a third Bullshit on that!!! I've been to Wales...and let me just say this, the surf sucks and I doubt there's any "big wave" riders there. Plus anyone surfing 65' waves doing tow-in surfing, knows the wave is coming and is fully prepared for it. That would mean that he got sucked out to sea first and then survived without hitting anything on the way in? Cough! Cough! Bullshit! Cough! ...drags me down like some sweet gravity!!!
  6. Concrete Blondes? I haven't heard them since the bonus track on Billabong's The Green Iguana surf vid. Hollywind I think the track was. Looking forward to seeing the tat. Mines going to be a tad smaller and black...or maybe royal blue body and black wings like my GTi. ...drags me down like some sweet gravity!!!
  7. Nah, you're all wrong!!! It clearly states that: "The poodle is on special tonight." ...drags me down like some sweet gravity!!!
  8. You wouldn't believe this but I'm thinking bout the same tat, except for the writing. Got an appointment on Thursday... Are you going to have colour done? ...drags me down like some sweet gravity!!!
  9. Hey everybody, Happy New Year! Well the Desert Boogie in Namibia is over and it was a blast. Quite a few firsts were happening. I did my first flocking dive, an unsuccessful 4 way. Saw my buddy Bruns outfly everyone on a classic and on his 2nd w/s jump!!! Did a kick ass 2way dock, and to end off the Boogie we did a three way out of a chopper at 10 grand. AWESOME!!!! Oh yeah and Pip did his first w/s jump. He was stoked!!! So lets see...that's about a case of beers!!! Saw a few Sugargliders. Got a shitload of advice in relation to arm position etc. Damn I love wingsuiting!!! Have a kick ass 2005 guys and girls and see you all in da skies sometime. Cheers, Courteney. ...drags me down like some sweet gravity!!!
  10. I'll send Simon your regards. I think he's heading back to your side of the woods in April, will ask him tomorrow. Cheers, Courteney. ...drags me down like some sweet gravity!!!
  11. Bummer!!! Hope it wasn't anything important stolen-see Rig, etc... ...drags me down like some sweet gravity!!!
  12. He indeed does. Swakopmund, Namibia, South West Africa, Africa. ...drags me down like some sweet gravity!!!
  13. Hey there, Well was just chilling at the dz today waiting for a load when who walks in? The Head Honcho, Sangiro. Of course I didn't have the foggiest idea who he was until we were introduced. Pretty cool dude. He's here till Thursday so hopefully can get a jump or two in aswell as a beer or six. Cheers, Courteney. ...drags me down like some sweet gravity!!!
  14. Hmph, I didn't know there were Fur Seals in Hollywood. ...drags me down like some sweet gravity!!!
  15. I reckon french wines and champagne for that matter are over rated. If all else fails, there's always Tassenburg aka Tassie's in South Africa. It's the best of all reds in one el-cheapo blend. And with the current exchange rate it'll probably cost you $3 a pop. Then again, I'm a beer man myself. ...drags me down like some sweet gravity!!!
  16. First one is Saturn, Second one is a spring, Third one is a Helicopter. Correct?!!! ...drags me down like some sweet gravity!!!
  17. Jesus? Kinda looked like a cross between old JC and Bob Marley. Or maybe I'm just fucking tired. ...drags me down like some sweet gravity!!!
  18. Cool guys, Thanks alot, that's just what I was looking for. My problemo was the speed of the manouvre and the wings being open where they shouldn't. Will try it again tomorrow or Sunday. Will keep you all posted. Thanks again. Courteney. ...drags me down like some sweet gravity!!!
  19. Arseholes at work. Having to work shifts 3 weeks in a row. Taxi's. (hey if you don't understand, come to Africa) Drunks when I'm sober. People who don't have the balls to try something new but are all knowing when you do it first. Shit man, there are way to many to put down here. Maybe I've got issues or maybe cos I'm on nightshift and it's 02:06am Sat. ...drags me down like some sweet gravity!!!
  20. Now imagine if they acted in "Something about Mary". That bathroom scene would've been something else. ...drags me down like some sweet gravity!!!
  21. Hey there, Greetings from the lone birdy or the Namib. I'm trying out some aerobatics but can't seem to get a couple things right. Can someone walk me through a backloop? I'm looking for info on what wings you collapse, (if any) and which ones you don't. Tried it today but didn't quite get the desired effect. Same with barrel rolls and frontloops. Thanks in advance. Had my longest flight so far today. 83 seonds from 10100' deploying at 3100', average 54mph. Not the best but I'm slowly getting there. Cheers, Courteney. ...drags me down like some sweet gravity!!!
  22. Good advice! Reason why one should always do a prejump check when you get to the door. Surprised that the dude didn't realise it was pulled. ...drags me down like some sweet gravity!!!
  23. Dude, if she wants you to give up skydiving then I reckon she's not worth having around. If she truly loves you and skydiving is a big part of you then she should accept and love ALL of you. That's why I married a Skydiver. Good luck with the decision, but don't do something you're going to regret. ...drags me down like some sweet gravity!!!
  24. Bet that's the last time his handler plays "Fetch the Ball", with the pooch. ...drags me down like some sweet gravity!!!
  25. She's thinking: "Sacra Bleu, (spelling?), it must haf been lost in ze translation!" He's thinking: "Oh shit! it must have been lost in the translation." ...drags me down like some sweet gravity!!!
