  1. There is no need to buy any extra software at first. Flysight has a Windows and OS X data viewer for quick reviews of your flight. Uploading into Paralog is valuable if you want to analyze the competition window. http://flysight.ca/extras.htm My hope is that version 2 will have barometric pressure also... I had a PITA time setting up my N3A on my Mac...no problem with the Flysight at all as it just appears as an external drive. However I still have an N3A as my "daily logger".

  2. I seem to remember having that problem. Upgrade to the latest version, it has more fun features anyway and is only 29.99 or something like that. At that price it's hard to beat for throwing quick edits together on a Mac. Make sure you turn on "Advanced Tools" in preferences to get all the cool stuff.

  4. YES! You can win shiny shit...what more could anybody want? The event is modeled around the great skydiving tradition of Speed Stars. Teams of 5 (4 pilots + 1 camera) must exit fast and build a diamond. Simple as that...or is it??? Registration is free, it will be held on Saturday 13th. http://dirty3somespeeddiamond.eventbrite.com Top prize is $100 but bragging rights are priceless and you can obviously get everyone to kiss your medal at the costume party...

  5. Cool - where did you get that idea? I sat next a mad professors a few times and he kept bragging about his teams speed star exit times.....12.9 seconds or something like that.

  6. In the case of a bigway, you don't need to be in a rush to fly because the base is low and getting away from you. There's no penalty to tucking up out of the door and even holding that tuck for a few seconds. If the whole point is to get the 4-way together fast, the first two out of the door want to fall as slow as possible, with the last two doing the opposite, and then meeting in the middle ASAP. It's how a no-show no-grip exit works. Floaters out first to float, sinkers out last to sink. Your profile doesn't indicate any wingsuit experience so I will assume none. A wingsuit group, anything from a 6 way to a 20 way to a 100 way has floaters and divers just like FS does. Floaters get out and watch the plane as the base gets out and then divers follow. Divers have plenty of pressure to get out and dive to the base, remember the plane is still moving. The base is also flying away from you so you can bet you have to fly. Crunching into a ball doesn't get you across the ground to the base. I can't think of anytime I was told not to get out fast. I also can't think of anytime where I thought I needed to get out so fast it would be ok to hit the tail. I will make sure people are reminded not to hit the tail, each other (much) or the ground. I expected to get shit about using a box (like a grid) but I forgot we moved on to tails this month. Simon Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month.

  7. I will take this into consideration with the participants at the event and the aircraft we us. However the argument seems illogical to me. We regulaly empty a plane full of wingsuiters. Are you saying those in the back of the group have a better chance of hitting the tail than those in the front of the group? I just finished up at the big way where I was last out every time and you get bet I was in a rush. I am glad to report I didn't hit the tail even once...AND it was a high speed exit. I use this trick where I keep my wings closed on exit. Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month. Try before You Buy with Wicked Wingsuits - WingsuitRental.com
  8. Going to be testing a new competition (to us) at Skydive the Farm for the Dirty3Some boogie. Top prize is $100 and second and third get some cashola too. It is basically Speed Star meets Wingsuiting and I have no idea how it will turn out. Ashley will also be running some FFC (signup in advance) for those that want to play next time!

  9. Looking forward to this one again this year. Here is the sign up for Wingsuit FFC's.

  11. I was hot, sweaty, scared, sometime bleeding and tired...but it was so very rewarding. Seeing a group of people from all over the world come together and overcoming obstacles is very fulfilling. Thanks to all of those that were on the team...and that doesn't mean just people that were flying. Also massive kudos to Perris and DanBC for being so supportive. Already looking forward to the next one!

  12. It's hard work, no doubt. Lots of sweat but very rewarding. Some bugger keeps eating my chicken satay...but that's my only complaint. 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 think 70+ has to include early pioneers of the sport jumping off buildings and out of balloons. I heard it was a thriving business till the insurance companies banned jumping off the Eiffel tower. Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month.

  14. How many fatalities have there been involving people with more then 200 skydives but few wingsuit jumps and how does that compare to the numbers of fatalities before the bsr was implememnted because thats the comparison that matters Historically pre-BSR? 70+ (which is why they were banned by USPA) Post BSR specifically related to the wingsuit and skydive? 2, arguably 3. The initial point was that USPA intervention (so far) has halted the several incidents and reversed the trend. Which part of that needs greater explaining? I would like to learn more about the 70ish batwing fatalities. Is there an archive somewhere? Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month.

  19. Yes it matters a lot because the strikes I am aware of included people that really knew they needed to keep their wings closed. What aircraft were these? I think a totally valid solution is to restrict wing suiting to the more forgiving aircraft. Summer Rental special, 5 weeks for the price of 4! That is $160 a month.

  24. Not sure I agree with that. A lot of the "Internet BS" is the product of stuff that happens at events. Add Internet access and time, and you get more sniping... Personally, I love coming back to this forum for the same reason I slow down to check out the car crash on the highway... The few fights I have broken up at the DZ were still a whole heap less effort than this typing can be... Which makes me realize, I need a Fight Breaking Up Instructor Rating.
