    Nice trailer I must say. Kinda reminds me of the old Wally Gubbins vidoes we used to watch years ago. Great jumping with the laughs that make the sport fun, and not all the "Look, I'm the Shit" deathmetal stuff alot of videos are coming up with now. Cant wait to see the finished video.

  2. Then again, there is alot of bad advice on here also. Focusing on getting the best education you can, to make a good living, will be the best advice in the long run. Be safe Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com
  3. Ah, I knew I missed out by not jumping today. Sinuses are still in repair from the high altitude oxygen in Thailand though...... Be safe Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com
  4. Yes, the PAC has a pull cord to close the retactable the sliding door. It's on the ceiling between the pilot and co-pilots seat, usually with a ball on the end and hanging down about 8 inches. Be safe Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com
  5. For the right price, probably less then 8 hours. Be safe Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com
  6. Bingo. Be safe Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com
  7. The report says that he was flying with one other wingsuit flyer and they may not post on here, or may not have had a clear veiw while under canopy, anything else is just speculation. All the rest should be answered in the Incidents Forum Be safe Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com
  8. And even in some cases, none..... Be safe Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com
  9. If the bag fits correctly in the main packing tray it will work fine. A main D-bag doesn't need to be specifically made by the container manufacturer. Be safe Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com
  10. Frederick Look me up if your heading to Lodi, I'd be glad to help you get into the air.
  11. There is always the strap-on and a hair cut? Be safe Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com
  12. Yes Matt, relax. Be safe Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com
  13. It's not stupid, you'd be suprised at how many people can't swim. Some people just aren't near water enough to want to learn. Relax when you do Kris, it will be much easier.
  14. Kris There is water everywhere in the Lysefjord. Kjerags landing area is large, but not always hit. If you cannot swim, if that the case, I'd suggest having the boat there at all times when you are jumping or have a flaotation device of some kind when jumping Kjerag.

  15. Nope. No need to dominate anyone. Your concerns look at though you need to attend a USPA meeting to change the training sylibus maybe?Or start teaching it correctly to every student you see at your dropzone, the way YOU see safe? Is this the same place that has the lack of leadership? Maybe you are having too many issues with the people you jump with, or need to open your own DZ to make you own rules and teaching techniques? The translation has work great for tens of thousands of students over the years. How many people are you going to say have been killed when their Instructors made them do the UP, Down- Go and it deployed a parachute killing anyone? I've seen a few, but none of mine EVER have. Name one? Yes. Be safe Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com
  16. Years ago we had a C182 pilot that would throw a roll out after we exit, and it would unroll all the way without a pc attched to it, but I dont know about a roll that big! Be safe Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com
  17. You'll look good in black and white stripes cleaning Civic Doody. Be safe Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com
  18. That sucks, but I have seen one DZ fuck a student for much less. Be safe Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com
  19. Here's one then, "Dont land in a Blackberry Patch".
  20. Your remarks show your not an AFFI are you. The movement is totally safe, and the purpose of the movement is to get the student and the instructor on the same count. We read body movement when we can not hear what the student is saying, and the exit comes off the plane cleaner when everyone leaves it at the same time. I have made thousands of AFF exits using this technique or one very close to it. Be safe Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com
  21. Wear alot of body armor. You'll see what I mean by all the bruises the next day. Be safe Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com
  22. Not really. I do the same as you, but I roll the nose usually about 7 full rolls and push it deep. I usually do not pull in a track either, unless I'm below 2K. I will reduce my forward speed or sink as I reach for the pc. I get slow on heading openings 99% of the time. Be safe Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com
  23. Sorry I misread the 1 for an I. Your right though, students should wear clear goggles so we can see the eyes clearly. What about the DZ made you feel as though it was unsafe? Be safe Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com
  24. It is only if you are doing it during a Buzz job without asking for permission beforehand...... Be safe Ed www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com
