cvfd1399 0 #4 March 21, 2005 Ahh I see. I am interested in trying this out. The other day tried my 3rd attempt at head down, and I got a reading of 191 on my neptune and 254 on my vigil. I know I need to mount 2 protracks on MLW'sto get a better reading. I think I can have the ability to haul ass with a better set up and practice BTW I am 6'4 and 303 with gear Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazon 7 #5 March 21, 2005 Well the meets are all over Europe... and one in Juptown MA in July.. come take a shot.. just make sure your gear will handle it.. Full Face with a visor that does not blow off at higher speeds( I am using a FREE ZR now.... A Rig that will handle 250 MPH plus...The offiial Protracks go on the outside of the MLW but you still need a couple of Dytters or Protracks in your helmet..Redundancy is good Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

courage 0 #7 March 22, 2005 Has not received the database, or a complete result list from the meet, but Arnold Hohenegger emailed some: Stan Snigir will have the US record on a single jump with about 283 mph, and his US Meet Result Record (3-jump average) will be about 278 mph), if/when verified by the database.

Amazon 7 #8 March 22, 2005 I will be practising in Eloy this weekend. I need to figure out how to set up the Jump Track to take the input properly from both of the protracks. Its just a matter of time.. sitting down at the computer.. I HATE sitting down at the computer on a weekend when I am jumping.... AND I got the go ahead from my DZO here for the speed diving once the weahter gets a bit better.... so I wont interfere with the others on the Otter.
