  1. "Fucken don't hit the tail." I was expecting something like this and also maybe "Harden the fuck up". :-) I will get some to Patto to hand out. Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month. Try before You Buy with Wicked Wingsuits - WingsuitRental.com
  2. I created an easier URL: http://tinyurl.com/donthitshit Also, among the many requests I already got a few people have asked for French and Spanish. I added options for different languages onto the form but I might need some help translating into Russian and Australian. Also, if you don't want to get signs\stickers directly PLEASE feel free to use this 100% royalty and credit free, just don't change it without asking me.

  4. If there were a LIKE button this would get my vote. If not rolled out correctly with multiple examiners and instructors in place well before it becomes mandatory we will kill wingsuiting. That is more of a risk than these FAA ghouls. Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month. Try before You Buy with Wicked Wingsuits - WingsuitRental.com
  5. First in a series of Wingsuit Safety Announcements, this art is called "Keep 'em Closed". Available both as a yard sign and as a postcard sized sticker. Yard signs are great for the boarding area and stickers can be put near the door\lights on the plane as a safety placard. Please check with your plane owner before sticking stuff in their plane! Put in your request at: https://docs.google.com/a/wickedwingsuits.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dFQ4QVpSVlpjZHRPdFRNY0NKOEdSSmc6MQ#gid=1 The only stipulation for getting these free is to send us a photo of where you put them. I will be sending out the first batch at the end of the month. Credit goes to Brian Caldwell\Lurch for the inspiration for this design. Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4!

  7. I often jump a free packed base canopy but I also more often jump a d-bagged 9 or 7 cell. I haven't have any problems with hard openings so far, firm but now slammers. However I do wingsuit on it so it isn't truly terminal. The problem with jumping a bigger canopy tends to be wind related. I once landed a mile backwards from the DZ and that is when I learned that lesson. Having such a lightly loaded canopy will group you when a 1-1.3 loaded would be just fine. I find that free packing takes me longer than using the dbag but is more relaxing. It allows me to keep in touch with my base pack job so that is a benefit. For this reason I have a bridle that I can quickly pop a dbag on if I want. It is all about picking the right tool for the job. I don't think a base canopy setup belongs in skydiving 100% of the time but it does have its place when you are preparing for a trip. One thing I have decided is to switch back to 100% 7 cells. Going from 7 cell to 9 cells landings isn't easy...for me. Some people don't seem to have any trouble. Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month.

  8. I bet there would still be plenty of collisions! Remember the booth laws. Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month. Try before You Buy with Wicked Wingsuits - WingsuitRental.com
  9. When did you get the service and modem? A lot of the newer ones are already wifi so you might want to see if they can switch it out for you. Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month. Try before You Buy with Wicked Wingsuits - WingsuitRental.com
  10. Yes it would http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQFKtI6gn9Y I thought this might be in the style of Monty Python...and I didn't get a surprise! Nice. Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month. Try before You Buy with Wicked Wingsuits - WingsuitRental.com
  11. Some of us have seen this with our own eyes and hearing someone argue so strongly against it is kind of comical. Of course some people also don't think the evidence of dinosaurs is conclusive. Each to their own! It wouldn't be any fun if we all agreed. Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month. Try before You Buy with Wicked Wingsuits - WingsuitRental.com

  13. I know quite a few folks that have these goggles for skiing so I don't doubt they are legit. Also if you buy with a credit card you can likely claim it if they take your money and run. I wouldn't use a debit card. Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month. Try before You Buy with Wicked Wingsuits - WingsuitRental.com
  14. Actually I believe that location is LEGAL I am going to need coordinates so that I can confirm. Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month. Try before You Buy with Wicked Wingsuits - WingsuitRental.com
  15. It is so depressing that it is illegal. Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month. Try before You Buy with Wicked Wingsuits - WingsuitRental.com
  16. There is only one way to find out if sound is better or not...I am going to try one for sure, I hope they get enough orders. Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month. Try before You Buy with Wicked Wingsuits - WingsuitRental.com
  17. I had the pleasure of using this flare to gain altitude in my X3 last weekend...then the resulting deployment resulted in gnarly line twists and a chop! :-) Must reengineer deployment to solve this problem!

  18. We managed to log some good practice runs this last weekend. We will do another camp in Zhills over the Halloween Boogie: sign up for free at: http://ppczhills2012.eventbrite.com I just need a headcount to plan...and in case we have any goodies.

  19. If it is your BASE canopy then just use your base PC. That way you get to test the entire canopy setup. I did 30+ skydive wingsuit jumps using a freepacked Feather 265 with small mesh slider and 37" non collapsable PC...works find and lets you know what you are in for. You can also use it to practice you wingsuit pack jobs. Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month. Try before You Buy with Wicked Wingsuits - WingsuitRental.com
  20. YES! There will for sure be weekend classes. We will get there schedule up at the end of the month. I will be down there for Halloween on the 27 and 28. Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month. Try before You Buy with Wicked Wingsuits - WingsuitRental.com
  21. Well said. Regardless of how this turns out it will be down to the local level to monitor and enforce, something they could be doing now. Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month. Try before You Buy with Wicked Wingsuits - WingsuitRental.com
  22. I just read an interesting safety bulletin in parachutist where a premature deployment about ripped off the elevator of a 182. How does that play into all of this? It was far worse damage than any of the photos I have seen of a Wingsuit tail hit. Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month.

  23. the Phoenix-Fly First Fly Coach course is a course for people willing to become coaches for a safe beginning in wingsuiting. To attend and to succesfully complete the course, there are some pre-requisites, theory and practice, and test jumps. Thank you. Sparky This was the same with FlockU. You had to have 200 wingsuit jumps, a USPA Coach rating, a ground course and test jumps. It certainly makes someone more qualified than just being an "experienced wingsuiter".

  24. Honestly if you want to log and analyze a wingsuit jump you should just get a flysight. Not only is it specific to skydiving but the software support and knowledge is superior. I will rent you one.... :-) Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month. Try before You Buy with Wicked Wingsuits - WingsuitRental.com
  25. After a complex meeting of the board we have decided that the Wicked Wingsuit Speed Diamonds are for wingsuiters and non-wingsuiters (trackers) alike. Think of it as an orgy bringing together those that dress in skirts and those that don't always. Competition is on Saturday. Top prize for the winning team $500.
