Yes i think you should listen to tree on this.Openings are the very least of your problems for a fragile body.more problems can be found on "the list" hard openings and object strikes are just "luck of the draw"(sometimes but not always) big country base998

Damn Clint good job landing that.I think I would have trickled a little piss then landed in the water so noone would have known i pissed myself. hahahaha big country base998

nice one nick... big country base998

keep up the good work jason this could be huge for base.if this goes through...will there be a rescue boat like twin falls?how will he be paid since he is not taking jumpers back to the packing area?i think it may be tough to find someone to sit in a boat all the time if we are not making it worth his/her while. big country base998

damn,damn,damn.....I met slim in norway back in june and although i didn't know him like many others of you out there i could tell how genuine he was when he spoke to me and others.the base community has suffered a huge loss here.my prayers go out to his family. man i was really hoping he would pull through this. fly free slim. big country base998

YO, Pringles....leave it in the can... you told me this story and well....um...DAMN YOU big country base998

Damn, mother i'm with you! it started out as a nice write up then someone broke out the BIG box of crayola's...now i'm just as dumb as i was before the original post.. no but for real now.. Thanks Yuri as always your knowledge has been helpful. I myself have been on the top of towers and had the wind change directions on me from exit to open and to tell the truth a few times i have climbed down. had i had this info then i would not have wasted so many steps....in the wrong direction. big country base998

Kevin...you know ray is just old school don't go changing what ain't broke....but then again he did dress a sheep that wasn't cold big country base998

yeah that landing looked a little hard but if he was a norgy then he probably just shook it off. those guys are pretty damn hard core(still not aussies though). just a thought: was anyone else a little disapointed in the music? i loved the first soundtrack,hell it stays in the car cd player. but this one....ah hell forget it i probably just had my sights set on a differant direction. pay me no mind you will get a refund if you do! big country base998

R.I.P. our thoughts and prayers go out to the friends and family in there time of need.i have met some really cool people from that area and i am sure you guys are hurting right now but stay strong brothers. best wishes, tennessee crew big country base998

i have used a 42 on 270 "A"s before and had no trouble.but of course if i had owned a larger pilot chute at the time i would have used it just for ease of mind. big country base998

WOW JOHNNY THAT CHICK IS HOT!!! can you put in a good word for me?Is she single? big country base998

so.....where would one crazy sob pick one one of these rocket propelled gizmos up if he/she had a really great idea and object err...use for it? big country base998

i was just bustin your balls a little !!!!!!!!! i think you are making a great choice and i will be there too during memorial day hope to see you there big country base998

I am thinking of doing the Johnny Utah course since it is the least expensive you my friend are making a huge mistake.taking a fjc solely because it is the cheapest could cost you in the the long run. BUT it is your lucky day because you also chose the best. so it won't cost you in the long run. i took his course about 2 years ago and i have to say i was not expecting to learn as much as i did. after the course was over we left with a lot of jumps, unhurt (thats always a plus),a wealth of knowledge,the confidence to go other places not so forgiving as tf and make safe base jumps. the 1 on 1 time you get with johnny is priceless if you just listen to what he has to tell you and pay attention you will have a really good time and leave there with alot of good memories. if you have any more questions about his course you can pm me or e-mail. big country base998

hardest opening was under an original sabre 190. i had about 20-30 skydives and i pulled in a track(what was i thinking) when i landed i thought my legs were broke. the pants i was wearing were completely ripped in two from the botton all the way to the belt line. it took over two weeks for the bruises to heal so i could jump again. show me a 2 sec.delay that can do that i'll kiss your ass. haha. big country base998

yeah good call it is a small market and they don't need to know about it. lets just hope they don't come to a dz and want to jump... big country base998

what about music i pay to download do i have any right to use it? i did pay for that why all the musicians were crying because it was free.. now i pay don't i own some rights to it now to use? i am not sure how all this works but i make a hell of alot of videos but i don't sell them or copyright them. i charge for videoing the jump and because i'm a hell of a nice guy i put in on a tape or dvd with music and I GIVE it to the students. how would that hold up? technecally i am not making money off their music. big country base998

thanks monkey... what about the openings on the original sabre? i once landed with two halves of a pair of pants after a sabre opening and some really bad leg bruises to match. big country base998

it is a record it is official. i can't believe your post lasted this long. did tom go in? ha ha or is he just a slacker now. skin...sell me that damn blackjack that hangin in jimmy's up stairs all alone big country base998

i am new to wing suit flying and i jump a crossfire2-119 loaded at 2.1:1 and it is a little exciting.i haven't had any problems yet but i did have the slow carve that got really fast before i could get unzipped and fly.i would NOT recomend this set-up in fact i am looking for something in the 170 range just so i have more time.any suggestion on a non ellip. canopy? big country base998

SAVE THE RACK !!! when she starts seeing her belly button between her nipples then by all means get em reduced but until then don't fix what ain't broke!!! ha ha big country base998

ok this is my personal experience: i have never had the risers hit my side mounted camera except when i jumped a rig that was not sized for me ie. the yolk being to small also like stated above going into a sit posistion helps with the hard openings.the type of canopy you are jumping and body posistion also play a huge roll in riser strike in my opinion the two best canopies for camera flight are the pd spectre and the icarus crossfire.but like i said this is just my own personal experience so flaming is not welcome ha ha!! blue skies, jason kennon big country base998
