  1. Going Mick? Didn't you tell me once you already had that T shirt? Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com
  2. TSA doesn't know much about sport rigs, so how would they even know it's a tandem rig? You should be fine.
  3. FYI: Reflex has a single pin. Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com
  4. Hi Nick Tell you Dad to call me and well talk about you possibly jumping in Lodi sometime. Better yet, have your Mom. Your parents and I go way back.
  5. As Dave said, "Think about going into a nice relaxed arch, hips forward, head up watching the airplane flying away, arms and legs in the neutral position." Can't really say much more then that my friend. Except maybe to just relax and do it. Trust the relative wind, that is coming from the direction the plane is flying in, and you'll get stable faster then you think. Here is a pic of a level 7 student I had last saturday in my course and he did GREAT! Let us know how it went. Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com
  6. That would mean you F**KED UP by pulling low in the first place, or didn't your altitude before you cutaway.... As I stated, "It's a choice". Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com
  7. It was a PD113 exit weight was 178lbs. Unstable cutaway had me flying like a frizbee. Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com
  8. It's obvious you throw out and look straight at the ground. Try looking over your shoulder and watching what you PC does from now on, you might have known what the cause was, if it wasn't cocked...... And with "people opening under you", you might also want to learn how to give more seperation in between jumpers, or not to cork if they were the ones on the jump with you..... When you say "I banana peel out", I assume you meant track? Opening over someone is not something you want to get in the habit of, as you might have exactly what happened to you again and this time go through the other jumpers canopy. So, learn how to track for good seperation horizontaly with no one under you or over you. Incidents like this are totaly avoidable with some forthought on SAFETY before you got on the plane. Glad it worked out ok for you this time. Be safe Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com
  9. Ever see that Big Dinoraur named Barnie? Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com
  10. It wasn't a Light saber Silly! But more similar to something you'd read on these reports! We managed getting through the flight safely by doing some nifty flying while keeping our eyes shut, so we didn't get blinded. Flock on! Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com
  11. RSL's are a CHOICE. After having a spinning cutaway on my highly loaded VX80, which lead to about 7 line twists on my now ground hungry spinning reserve, that I was able to kick out of barely at about 300ft, I chose not to have one anymore. Glad thing worked out well you you.
  12. In his NEW S3 Here is a grab I took while flying on my back underneath Avery on saturday.
  13. Already posted....try again Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com
  14. Contact Bill Dause at The Parachute Center $13 to 13000 from an Otter
  15. Getting over the butterflies takes some time, but the simple answer to getting over your fear is KNOW YOUR GEAR, and trust yourself that you know how to use it.
  16. I'm currently working with Dennis Miller, training him to fly the new Sugar3VMatterFly. He is doing a fantastic job learning to fly a suit with so much wing, but he's having a tough time finding the ego to fly it correctly with others. So, as we keep training, we are also having a tough time finding a movie role for a talk show host to star in. Flock on!
  17. I thought you wanted to be a judge at the Underwater BB stacking competition? Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com
  18. That's Yankers, and don't forget it! Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com
  19. It's not? note to self: reread TLO's again..... Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com
  20. Thousands of other students have already claimed that name. Relax, it will stop when you do, like I told you.... That's what it's all about! And it gets better!
  21. Too funny! That's an old pic of one of Roger Ponce's color concepts jumps. They must mean "Remember when sex was safe and skydiving was dangerous!" I think I'll send that to him..... Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com
  22. That's be a 10-4 Thought there wasn't? Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com
