    Someone should slap that slut... Blue skies, Keith Medlock

    Indeed its a good marketing ploy and a hilarious video. Any animal rights bs should probably be discussed somewhere else. Blue skies, Keith Medlock

    ROFL! That made for some great video! Blue skies, Keith Medlock

    Because its a skydiving forum. It just seemed odd (also posted under two topics) and I was curious whether or not there was a specific, deliberate reasoning for this. Blue skies, Keith Medlock

    Why would you post this in a skydiving forum and not list skydiving as one of the examples? Blue skies, Keith Medlock

    Just take a double dose of the narcotics. That way, if you do start bleeding, you won't care. Also, a little alcohol will really help with the effectiveness of those meds. Blue skies, Keith Medlock

    That all makes sense, and I think you're correct. All of the instructors at my home DZ also advise against pitching in a track. However, whether it was wise or not, after so many hard openings, I started to experiment and after having fluffy tracking openings with no back soreness the day after, I would never go back to box man. I understand how its bad in theory, but in practical application, I prefer a tracking deployment. Blue skies, Keith Medlock

    ? Did you reply to the correct person? If so, could you please clarify? Blue skies, Keith Medlock

    I always pitch in a track to get soft openings. If your max track openings are hard, you still have work to do on your track, because you're probably diving too much. If you pitch at 120mph in a box man with no forward speed, your air speed at opening would be: 120mph (obviously) Now, maybe its body type dependent, but my vertical speed during a max track averages around 80mph. Assuming I can accomplish a fast 1:1 glide ratio, my air speed at opening would be: 113mph Which explains why I get softer openings during a max track or wingsuit flights. FYI, I'm 5ft 10in and 160 exit weight... Blue skies, Keith Medlock

    Not a skydiver, but my pet whuffo who may be seen regularly at Skydive Dallas. (NSFW posted with her permission) Definitely my vote for best ass! Blue skies, Keith Medlock

    Being hopelessly addicted and obsessed with wingsuit flying, I went in search of reading material to learn more about every aspect of this wonderful sub-discipline. It was a bit of a chore looking for books, so I thought it would be good to have a thread listing wingsuit specific books for easy reference. I'll start out with the ones I've got. Please list the title and author... Birdmen, Batmen, and Skyflyers Michael Abrams Bird Man Leo Valentin Skyflying: Wingsuits in Motion Scott Campos Blue skies, Keith Medlock

    Generally speaking you're probably in the 15-20mph range as an educated guess. There are those crazy wingsuit types who have those nice GPS setups that would let you graph out your ground speed. Depending on where you jump, you may be able to talk one of those folks into borrowing their setup! I've known others to take up a hand held anemometer to get their airspeed. If you do that, please do this by yourself, on a solo hop-n-pop, with no other traffic and do it well above your pattern altitude! Obviously its not the most scientific approach, but hey, you're just wanting a rough number for fun, right? You don't need a nice setup. I just pulled my garmin nuuvi gps out of my truck. No calculations to make. After the canopy opens, just pull it out and look at your speed. Turn and you get downwind, upwind, and crosswind which you can use to easily figure out your speed in no wind (or just jump in no wind) Blue skies, Keith Medlock

    Here's my baby puffy. It was my 8th wingsuit jump http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMRSzysQv4E Blue skies, Keith Medlock

    Nice! I'll have to upload mine now. Easy to tell you have the old GoPro. They didn't handle light that well. If you're making beautiful jumps like that, its time for an upgrade! Blue skies, Keith Medlock

    Would it help to update it? I've never updated the software, and it was bought new about 2.5 years ago... Blue skies, Keith Medlock

    Recently, I've had trouble setting the freefall alarms on my Neptune. I tried to raise one of the alarms from 3000 to 4500, but once it hits 4000, the next value up it shows is 20000! WTF! Blue skies, Keith Medlock

    I caught a nice one sunday at Dallas from 6500 down to 4500 and got some great video. I wish it went all the way up! I've been to Waller before. Do you jump out there, or Rosharon? Blue skies, Keith Medlock

    Damn! I lived in Hawaii for 2 years, although it was before my skydiving days. I should have started THEN! Blue skies, Keith Medlock

    Which country is the best to be a skydiver. I don't mean just the best dropzones, planes, scenery, etc. I mean the whole package. The best place to live life, find work for skydiving money, and make great jumps! Also, single or with a family? Blue skies, Keith Medlock

    Exactly! I hate ending up in the damn cloud! Blue skies, Keith Medlock
