I think it would be funny that after the jump you find yourself under the canopy and you go "yeah, it worked!!!" Then stitch by stitch the harness comes apart, really slowly, and you just hope it will hold until landing...that would be a decent rush It would be cool if a container manufacture would enter willing-full customers on a bounce bingo. They'd use safety thread to put the harness together instead of 5 cord. Let's say 1 in 100 harnesses is built that way. The customers cannot tell the difference because of the mud-flap covering the MLW stitching but they'd know about the 1/100. I bet Maggot would enter in such a game Chances something is going to happen (1/100) are still less than people jumping off cliffs with 20 jumps or so Memento Audere Semper 903

Wait until you see the next mini-rig Memento Audere Semper 903

Tree and I spent this past week-end rigging. I cannot thank him enough for his help in creating the life saving device. The rig came out just dandy. There are few things that are sort of unique. The fabric is a cool "ballistic nylon" that feels even heavier than cordura, yet it's got the shine of parapack and the look of carbon fiber. It should also be very durable. The articulation is a 4 point-one not a 3 or 2 like other designs. The slot of the d-ring faces the lat, not the mail lift web. It was a shot in the dark but the end-result is the best fitting harness I have ever worn. Tree's front flap design is IMO superior to any other designs. Finally the Over-Cutaway system: In short a loop was built right above and under the d-ring. A l-bar is attached to the loop with the other end attached to l-bar risers. The latter is for the packed canopy. The d-ring is for the unpacked one. Tard-roll-float-gain-OVER then cutaway, back in FF and open the packed canopy (in the pic the silver are the d-ring risers, and the black ones the l-bar risers). The only problem is that now Nitro Rigging has to invest in more sewing machines...Damn you Mark! Memento Audere Semper 903

jesus christ! I go away for a few hours and this is the treatment I get! First I am Dutch but back in college I was told that Italians get all the chicks so I dropped the Van and hired a guido to get the accent going. After that I had a line of chicks off my door. But that was back in the days...buy the way, my wife also thinks I am Italian, please don't tell her the truth. Anyway, Nitro Rigging is currently meeting with HuckIt Rigging (Tree): some new evil shit is coming out! Memento Audere Semper 903

What about the newest addition to the team? The fourth and only female ninja? Memento Audere Semper 903

Smizo jesus christ! First you need to buy a man's flash because you cannot even see my psychedelic jungle ninja pants on the roll-over! Second, what's up with Jerry always being the super-star? I know I am not as good looking as he is but having Little Buddy's hand covering my face really sends me a clear message :"Dude, you're fucking ugly!" And Simzo, fix your profile you do have a DZ! By the way folks, Smizo is the best ground crew money can buy and having seen I taught him how to fly, he's not half bad of a stick Actually he started to fly when he was still a virgin without a driver license Memento Audere Semper 903

TREE not trees, yes I was surrounded by trees by hit only one and then chopped two Actually a 17 year old young pilot and future BASE jumper chopped those down, so much for good ethics. But that's exactly my point: vents = immortality so why play the Russian roulette with those Mojos 240s? Memento Audere Semper 903

Abbie, for 55 bucks I'll teach you how to HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK IT! Memento Audere Semper 903

Guys, If you are jumping a non-vented canopy you will die! Get rid of them, NOW! If you happen to jump a Mojo 240, please contact me and I'll make sure I properly dispose the canopy for you. Seriously, contact me if you want to get rid of that old school Mojo 240. Memento Audere Semper 903

It's java based... it works even on a toaster! Acually once we did plug a toaster to a Linux PC, wrote a driver for it and it worked! You gotta love that OS! Memento Audere Semper 903

What about if some instructor is an hermaphrodite? Memento Audere Semper 903

They are less sensitive to very DBS, they fly and flare better, and provide softer openings at terminal. Memento Audere Semper 903

The only qualified instructor should be yourself. If you cannot trust yourself then you should not be your own instructor and should reconsider why you do what you are about to do. I trust no one and nothing but myself. Memento Audere Semper 903

Congrats bro!!! Memento Audere Semper 903

Hey there, I won't be around...I going to do some rigging and BASE in DC (Tree, are you there?): I gotta build a rig for my wife! Little buddy will be there. Don't be in a hurry for that B even though I know maggot with all his BS and macho in the end will advise you well. Have fun off that 240 S and watch out for all those trees! Memento Audere Semper 903

Chirs, It's around 7.5%. Memento Audere Semper 903

She's not the best speller either but her spelling is light years further from Maggot's Now I don't know if she is as cute as she appears on the avatar but she sure sounds pretty sweet on the phone. Maggot by the way is taking a good care of her even outside BASE, it's my understanding Memento Audere Semper 903

Shit Jerry, You did not tell me that, you and Ray. Now I'm pissed, really. You told me I was the only one and such. You broke my heart. I hope you will fall for Ray so he can do what you did to me. Memento Audere Semper 903

I was actually being a bit more metaphysical. You and Yuri_base always seem to be so certain about things in different ways, or at least that's the feeling I get from your posts. Let's try not to forget that even very, very experienced jumpers fuck up off objects that are far less technical than the VERY Non Technical Cliff of yours. Ray, even though I respect the fact that you've made few jumps, been in the sport for a few years, have a way with sewing machines, it seems to me you have found the holly grail of BASE jumping like this guy here found the one for skydiving. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?username=Ron; Not an attack by any means but being so judgemental all the time one day might bite you back. Just my 0.02. Memento Audere Semper 903

So why not get out FIRST like at the WFFC? Memento Audere Semper 903

How many tard-overs do you have to make such statement? Memento Audere Semper 903

To be uncertain is uncomfortable, but to be certain is rediculous. Memento Audere Semper 903

One of the cheapest is the Holiday Motel with weekly rates. Get room 20 if you can. Lots of BASE history there Memento Audere Semper 903

Well, congratulations! I really wonder who that might be Memento Audere Semper 903

Either one, really. Memento Audere Semper 903
