    Skydive Spain in Sevilla, Spain is your best option this winter, after Empuriabrava's new schedule

    Am I reading a 'debate' between people that build/design parachutes? Surely it´s not such a misunderstood field.

    I see tunnel suits being made less rugged in key spots that get a lot of wear and tear while skydiving. They prioritise comfort over durability. Of course this would not be true at all about tunnel student suits.

    I will be soon moving to Spain from the UK. Will I need to convert my British Skydiving license to the Spanish federation one? And if so, does anyone know what the process is? Thank you

    Great audible - no frills but plenty versatile - excellent price. I bought v1 before anyone had even reviewed it and couldnt be happier.

    At the same loading, as in this case, I'd say the bigger canopy has the stronger stopping/breaking power. So I'd bet my money that it opens faster. Although I am sure it's alot more complicated, and probably, how fast it opens is more influenced by the volume of the air needed to inflate fully and how quickly the air can get into the canopy.

    Pretty sure one (the skydiver) of Fluid Wings' original band members is an engineer (not sure which specialty) by training............Did I read it on their website?

    I cant find it but I recently saw a photo of a TFX with a camera mount on the visor

    Any more info on the NExus? I really want one instead of going the Sabre route but as I cannot demo one in Europe it would be great to hear some first hand impressions.

    Yes I bought it at the DZ in Reggio Emilia. Noticed you could do the same on another trip to Fano. Insurance: Pegaso http://www.pegasoparacadutisti.it/polizze.asp Price per year: 90 euro Max coverage: 1.5M euro If I remember correctly there was also a temporary option that lasted 3 months.....but not totally sure. Another popular skydiving insurance in ITALY is Pianeta Volo http://www2.pianetavolo.it/paracadutismo.php

    I had to pay for an italian insurance as my skydiving Bupa International's max payout was not enough in Italy.

    Apparently the idea that wingsuiting attracts people that dont know how to fly or cant be bothered to learn how to fly their bodies, is trending. Surely there are plenty of opinions out there to fuel interest.

    After 15 hours I'm doing 2/3 ways HU with some HD exits, 2/3 ways tracking (starting to work on steeper angles). Only twice a FF 4-way with HD flower exit. Mostly these jumps are with very experienced free fliers.
