Professor

Comparing yourself to Mother Theresa is a little grandiose, don't you think, Scott? I mean, come on, Mother Theresa would have at least paid for her own airfare. Actually, buried in the all the flaming and insults, there was a request for the secret info which is taught in the BMI course to be made public. Now, off to go find that 'arguing on the internet' picture. Ted Like a giddy school girl.

And you almost made me spit beer all over my screen. But, I'm glad to hear BM is in support of independent expansion. Closet something. On Your Knees, Bitch. Voodew, I was about to get pissed at you for picking fights with the important people in the sport, but since none of them are ever going to be within 1000 miles of here, I got over it (expect Scott. Scott, you're still cool.) and charge Huge Money(tm) for it, of course. I didn't know being pussy whipped was a sport Ted Like a giddy school girl.

Do a search for 'sugar glider', there's some stuff about it. I think it's just somebody's pet project, I've heard he really doesn't have any intent of marketing it. I guess it's super floaty. Tom Aiello, the BASE moderator, knows more about it. Ted Like a giddy school girl.

No, you understand pretty well. He jumped out and flew a base, and we all buzzed past him, maded a big circle, and buzzed past him again. Fun and stupid all at once. What more could you want? edit: Damn, Voodew beat me too it. No mor e speel chekcnig fro me. Ted Like a giddy school girl.

That it was. And you couldn't even see all the zooming around that was going on behind you. Yeah, closer, faster, scarier! Hey, my exit was stable. It was Fukn cool. A little scary. The videos do NOT do justice to what was actually there. Yeah, the video was really disappointing. Hopefully it will be better, once we figure out how to exit it out of the PAC . Actually, I was under the impression that is was going to be dangerous for you, but it turned out that we were in a lot more danger than you were. Everyone was keeping an eye on you... Ted Like a giddy school girl.

No problem. I had great fun flying with you too this weekend. We'll be seeing you guys again soon, I have no doubt. Ted Like a giddy school girl.

Thanks a ton for all you and Kathy's work, Todd. This boogie rocked. Great job getting the skyvan, and dinner was amazing. Without a doubt the best catered meal I've had. And I used to work for a caterer. Great party and great jumps. I'm already looking forward to next year. Oh, yeah, some wingsuit pics are here Ted Like a giddy school girl.

What a great weekend. This was the most fun I've had in quite a while. Thanks to everyone who made it possible. The Waller crew was awsome, hopefully we can get together with y'all again soon. It was so cool to be able to fly my suit all weekend. And the ring-around-the-turtle thing was awesome too. We'll get that right next time. Here's a few of the pics I shoot. Sorry about the rainbow lines, those are courtesy of the HEB 'photo department'. I guess I need to start paying reasonable money for developing. Ted Like a giddy school girl.

No need to worry, nakedness and suits are mutually exclusive. But that sucks about Kris. Luckily, I don't think anybody was lined up for your suit anyway. Ted Like a giddy school girl.

And there probably will be this year, too, come tomorrow night. It's harder to get Voodew to keep his clothes on than to get one of those pics. There's actually a whole DVD of him naked at San Marcos. Ted Like a giddy school girl.

Well, I am indecent. Oh, wait, indecency is your hobby. Oh, btw, one of the girls from sunrise called today, they're done with my rig and putting it in the mail tomorrow. Quicker than they said I'd even get it, even with the hurricanes. I like these guys already.

No way, I was simulating a 206 exit. You know, crawl around, fall out. Yeah, but I can't unzip my wings while spinning on my back way the fuck faster than you can Ted Like a giddy school girl.

And I'll be the one opening after him... and 500 ft higher. Anybody else who wants to do this, grab anyone with a suit and say something to them. We'll be more than happy to oblige. Ted Like a giddy school girl.

I can't seem to get over 119 either (damn showoffs with neptunes), but my best whole jump average is 52mph. 5'10", 200lbs, classic 1, 35 jumps. But I've done 48mph on a half jump average, so I think that I can do better. Ted Like a giddy school girl.

Does that mean you will have cameras on too? No, No, I said we'd be the ones w/ wingsuits, not the ones standing on our heads. Although, actually, voodew and I usually do wear our cameras. Ted Like a giddy school girl.

Alright, More flockers! I think that brings us to 6. Should be pretty cool. Look for us, we'll be the guys with the wingsuits Ted Like a giddy school girl.

OK, fine. How about this: It's his fault for placing you in the position of having to chose between getting out long, riding down, pulling high, or asking for a go around. Do you not agree that everyone has a responsibility to get out at the right time? As I've already said, 6 seconds is fine. And bitching at people after 2 seconds is shitty. Actually take 6 seconds, and I'll never have anything to say. But remember, if you're climbing a group out, it'll probably take 4 seconds, so you'll be outside by the time people start bitching anyway. Ted Like a giddy school girl.

Probably, but I'd never really advise someone to make a habit of pulling at an unplanned altitude and without telling the rest of the load. I guess in theory, though, proper exit separation should ensure that this wouldn't be a problem. At least not for people in other groups. And pulling high still sucks, and shouldn't be neccesary. Ted Like a giddy school girl.

You're too big for mine, and mine is the biggest the group I'm coming (Voodew, me and a couple others) with will have. Sorry man. Hopefully someone from BirdMan will show up. Ted Like a giddy school girl.

They are potentially increasing your chances for an off landing, or a low return to the DZ, which is less safe. How is that not bad? Agreed, everyone is responsible for themselves first, and I could land with the plane, and eat the $18, or ask for go around after go around, but neither of those is good either. There should be no reason that you can't get everyone out of a normal jump aircraft on a normal jump run with safe separation and a good spot. Billvon: Just when I thought I had ya. What formula did you use to get 92 kts? I found a couple of references, but they gave me slightly different numbers, 96 and 99. Ted Like a giddy school girl.

squares are recommended because they have more consistent opening characteristics. You can't get your hands up to your risers (which sucks during spinning line twist, trust me ), so you want something that will fly straight. Also, the larger burble of the suit can contribute to poor openings. Spectres, sabre 2s, safire 2s, pilots, triathalons, and other reliable squares are popular. Ted Like a giddy school girl.

IIRC, an otter indicating 80kts, at 13500 is something more like 100kts ground speed. Ted Like a giddy school girl.

No, it's the people who are habitually at the back of the plane, typically freefliers and vidiots. I almost never pull below 3. Huh? Isn't watching the previous group just like using the 45 degree rule? You're judging exit separation by a visual cue. That is wrong. If the uppers match your jump run speed (A/C has no ground speed), you will have no exit separation, no matter how long you wait, but the groups before you will exit and drift back away from the plane, giving the illusion of separation. Ground speed, and an exit count figured based on it, is the correct way to ensure separation. On another note, I have no problem with 6 seconds of separation out of an Otter, on a no wind jump run. What kills me is watching people watch the group before them exit, shuffle into the door, count slowly to 6, climb out, psych themselves up, look around at each other, get some nods, give a count, and finally exit 12-15 seconds after the group before them. Then the next group does the same thing. Please, if your climb out is going to take 4 seconds, count to 2 and start it. Ted Like a giddy school girl.

No, but I did jump that one, and it fit me fine. Tamer wasn't allowed to sell it, instead I bought Art Stalling's yellow and white classic. Should still fit, I'm 5'10, 200# and it's just a hair tall/thin for me. Ted Like a giddy school girl.

Jeff, I think you'd fit in my suit. If you'll be at Aggieland, you can try it there. We need to get more people around here doing this. Kicking Voodew's ass is getting boring Ted Like a giddy school girl.
