    Obviously the whole jump went to shit when you broke FAA regulations and went through that cloud. Just kidding, but really. Glad you are alive... If it were me I would have reached back there and dun diddly yanked that bridle. I'd rather have something that has a chance of inflating (and if not, something I can cutaway) rather than pilot chute in tow to get tangled up in my reserve. Either way, count yourself lucky that glove is the only casualty in the whole ordeal.

    Oh no... another troll. But seriously, congratulations.

    Hey Neo, I got a brand new rig, we still doing speedstar at bridge day? You won't even have to sabotage it.

    I do not know what you are referring to.

    It's actually used... the guy used it once and broke his leg, so I got a bangin' deal on it. But that doesn't help this situation, being that it obviously worked once, but that doesn't mean it won't wear out prematurely like you said. I guess I will call the manufacturer and get their opinion. Thanks!

    That's exactly what I was thinking... I haven't jumped it yet, and am glad I caught it. I am hoping that the loading of it pushing out on the ring is the same as if it were sitting on the riser. But I am no rigger, so I don't know. Any other opinions?
  7. 93zx11
    It's not a perigee, actually. And out of the 3 rings, I am talking about the middle one. Even when the top ring is pushed all the way up, it still doesn't sit right.

    My camera has been funky about being in focus, but here is a better one... Even fully tensioned it's a few centimeters off from where it should be. http://tinypic.com/r/33yovw5/7

    So, I got a new base rig the other day, put it all together, and noticed the three ring system is a little off. I was going to post this over at basejumper... but I knew the answer to the question would be "jump it! and take video". So I thought I'd ask my skydiving buddies instead. Anyway, as you can see in the picture, the first ring on the riser does not sit right. It is about 4-5 centimeters above where it should rest, pushing out (when weight is put on the rig) on the second ring. Is this just faulty rigging, or is it ok? I have never seen something like that with all the rigs I own... so I don't know whether I should be worried or not. If it were a skydiving rig I would jump it no problem, but this is a little different. thanks in advance!

    I would beg to differ. Blasting classical took my freefly skillz to a whole new level. Back when I skydived, I wore these big ass noice cancelling headphones. Best thing ever. I didn't have to listen to the babble about who farted anymore.

    Lesson number 4: When you are at the bottom of a hole, stop digging. Lesson 5: Remember to have a parachute before you leave the plane. These are only a few of the important lessons you will learn by taking my FJC. The price is 10,000, and I only take cash.

    Brilliant. Lesson number 1 and 2: Remember to pull , and don't forget to put on your leg straps. Which brings us to lesson number 3: Be sure you don't put your wingsuit on upside down.

    My name is D. B. Cooper and I jump from anything I can. See you at bridge day, buddy!
  14. 93zx11
    200-500! that's a bit much! Especially if you live in the north east. No wonder dudes say "screw it" That's a $5k investment in a chance to say "Hi" Right on. I actually know a guy who will instruct you with alot less jumps than that.
  15. 93zx11
    So the BSRs are absurd, USPA is crazy, and it is OK to tell a new jumper to go to a DZ and lie about their experience so they can go wingsuiting? Probably good that you do not jump anymore. Take the logical next step and stop advising new jumpers. Yes yes and yes. I never said I don't jump anymore, I said I don't skydive.
  16. 93zx11
    Hell yes. I'll wear mine that says "fuk USPA". Speed star. 5 second delay is enough time, right? too much, actually.
  17. 93zx11
    Fuckin' right I did. I actually started base right off student status. Learned to pack off youtube, and went to the first antenna I could find. I never refused to identify myself, buddy. If you want, let's meet up at bridge day. I personally think a 3 way is a little weak, how about some speed star? anyone game?
  18. 93zx11
    Nope. you only need 70.
  19. 93zx11
    You fail to recognize that without death defying daredevils, skydiving would never had existed. Honestly though, this whole discussion is pointless. I am sure all the rule abiding skydivers lose sleep at night due to people like me and Bill, and we despise you the same. When it comes to opinions and mentalities, there is no right or wrong, so please stop pretending there is.

    You know, they have wingsuit tandems now, and BASE tandems, I say we combine them and become wingsuit base #1.
  21. 93zx11
    Even thats outdated, this past year base exits on a unicycle is all the rage :P That is so 2009. We do BASE tandems hog tied to panda bears now. http://www.theonion.com/articles/only-way-base-jumper-can-get-thrill-these-days-is,18082/

    "If you let natural causes kill you, you obviously aren't having enough fun." Sounds about right. I found out I had minor cancer at 20 years old. Not serious serious, but it sent me through a loop. I am determined not to let natural causes kill me. So far, no luck. Must. Have. More. Fun. Anyway, I say you get the old wingsuit and we take a trip to norway. You game?
  23. 93zx11
    Yeah, I know a dropzone right overtop the New River Gorge. Best part is, free lift tickets! Let me know if you want to do some RW sometime.

    You're right, I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you pesky kids! More like, as I said in previous posts and the original message, I didn't want to have to deal with exactly this. I have no problem giving my advice in a public setting. You're right again, I will take it to heart. You have all changed me. I realize the error in my ways, and we should just move on.

    Ah, so loading another set of rules to make the DZO more responsible for you absolves you from using your brain. It would be easier for you to quit. I guess skydivers are immune to satire.
