Welcome Mr Mac to the world of smiles........... play with you on the dark side soon (well when my grounding is up!!!) bsbd "In a world where we are slaves to gravity I am pleased to be a freedom fighter"

Done! I also submitted a load of quotes to your skydivingisms section..................... bsbd "In a world where we are slaves to gravity I am pleased to be a freedom fighter"

"Gee....thanks for sharing that with the group......." Why is it giving you a fatty????......... ;op bsbd "In a world where we are slaves to gravity I am pleased to be a freedom fighter"

Nah........... last time was a jar of pickled onions!!!............ bsbd "In a world where we are slaves to gravity I am pleased to be a freedom fighter"

"chained his naked gf (Carre Otis) to his harley, drenched her in baby oil, took some pics and then SOLD the pics to a men's mag!!!" mmmmmm...... perhaps an idea for the twins?????? bsbd "In a world where we are slaves to gravity I am pleased to be a freedom fighter"

"my loss of altitude awareness" & YOU DID NOT GET GROUNDED!!!..... SPAWNY BASTARD!!!! BSBD "In a world where we are slaves to gravity I am pleased to be a freedom fighter"

Surely with a strong head wind the drift on the group and the time it takes for the plane to travel enough distance to get the 45 angle your drift then will be parallel to the previous groups drift and thus you will not go over the top............ or maybe I just speak complete bollox??!?!? bsbd "In a world where we are slaves to gravity I am pleased to be a freedom fighter"

Skreamer - Remind me to bin myself off the lift if you ever get to jump master it!!............. why not just do the 45 angle?....... its easier!...... also you can see the ground speed as your looking at the spot..... judgement can then be made on whether a long or short delay between exits........... So when are you going to get off your arse and learn to spot......... coz I hate being jumpmaster and would love you to rather than me on lifts!!!........ bsbd "In a world where we are slaves to gravity I am pleased to be a freedom fighter"

Oh alright!!!!.............. ;op So whatcha rekon?......... coz it looks nasty.......... bsbd "In a world where we are slaves to gravity I am pleased to be a freedom fighter"

Im just a lazy bastard ................ cant be arsed with additional typing................ and are you a lazy bastard that does not want to copy and paste?!?!?!?....... ;op bsbd "In a world where we are slaves to gravity I am pleased to be a freedom fighter"

http://www.jumpshack.com/download/spintest.avi Would like the views of riggers on this............... Vector anyone??!?! bsbd "In a world where we are slaves to gravity I am pleased to be a freedom fighter"

I know a guy who has his recorded speed down to 35mph.....& the slowest recorded vertical speed was 18mph..... bsbd "In a world where we are slaves to gravity I am pleased to be a freedom fighter"

Parachuter jumps into the arms of the law LOS ANGELES, January 8 - A Huntington Beach man who parachuted from the top of a 37-story building on Wilshire Boulevard today landed on a police car. Robert Tompkins, 29, was booked for "trespassing" in the building at 1100 Wilshire Blvd., said Los Angeles Police Department Officer Grace Brady. No one was hurt. Police went to the location about 2 a.m. after an alarm indicated someone was on the roof, said LAPD Lt. Jose Perez of the Rampart Division. A helicopter and a radio car were dispatched and police saw two people on the roof. The second person was not found. About four other parachuters jumped from the building in the last year, police said. bsbd "In a world where we are slaves to gravity I am pleased to be a freedom fighter"

Also have you checked out the wingsuit flight by Jean Loic (?)...on Crosswind..... he dumps out waylow........ even nicer work!!........... Check out some BASE vids like Beyond Xtreme you will see many people (Aussies mainly) pressurizing at sub 100ft !!......... dont it give you a hard on?!?!?! ..... ;op Also Dwain is the guy who did a double gainer from 180ft....... so why not believe he dumps at 200ft with a wingsuit......??? bsbd . "In a world where we are slaves to gravity I am pleased to be a freedom fighter"

check out the picture I submitted to the BASE section of the gallery - its a guy doing a wingsuit at WAYLOW altitutude from the KL towers............... Nice work !!! bsbd "In a world where we are slaves to gravity I am pleased to be a freedom fighter"

Voodoo are nice and do look phuqkin smart..... but if you start putting larger canopies in them they look shit! G3 - nice! Jav - I have one and swear by it bsbd "In a world where we are slaves to gravity I am pleased to be a freedom fighter"

"More legs..." More tits.......... oooops........... wrong site....... bsbd "In a world where we are slaves to gravity I am pleased to be a freedom fighter"

"I use my feet for moving forward. I don't get much out of leaning back for some reason...." Do you find using your feet gives you enough range in moving forward???......... surely there is not enough surface area to make up large distances in as shorter time as possible?..... Oh and I agree - there is no right or wrong in FreeFly - thats why its Free Flying!............. bsbd "In a world where we are slaves to gravity I am pleased to be a freedom fighter"

Thanks for your replys............. I think I will use them then!...... coz I am not that competant @ HD.......... some days are better than others!!!........ cheers bsbd PS) N9 - where do you jump? "In a world where we are slaves to gravity I am pleased to be a freedom fighter"

250 jumps 8 groundings hopefully 2002 will bring more jumps and less groundings........ bsbd "In a world where we are slaves to gravity I am pleased to be a freedom fighter"

I am off to Spain end of the month and wondered about doing some "expensive" jumps with Babylon.......... I need to polish up on my head down - my question is - is the £40 per jump worth the money or would it be better spent doing normal jumps & get the consistancy?........... Would 10 training jumps with babylon be better for me than 40 normal FFly jumps?............ anyone used them??? bsbd "In a world where we are slaves to gravity I am pleased to be a freedom fighter"

Everyone starts with a position that makes you back slide - due to it feeling more stable and comfortable to lean into the sit....... Spend some time doing solos leaning your back into the wind...... feel the pressure against your back..... if you feel unstable and start to fall off it go back to your stable position and try again slowly - you will find that you are able to fly both forward and backward in a stable postion - you will then naturally sit up when flying relative to people - you will just be able to feel where the pressure on your back and front equal..... this will be you going down the tube. "Forward and back movements can be accomplished by a slight pelvis thrust and retraction" This i found not true - when i was learning I could not for the live of me move using my pelvis - then someone said use your back and chest - Bingo - I had it - I push my back and shoulders into the wind and lean forward for movement - this worked for me and the pelvis works for other people - try things out experiment and find out how you are most comfortable when flying........ Do you move around when you are in a stand? most people dont forward and backward movement is harder in a stand then sit when learning so you probably go down the tube IF you hold a solid position - use this by going from a stand to a sit by slowly going from the fast fall position to slow fall - trying to keep your top half in the same postion. I hope this helps ............ and is not as clear as mud as I think it maybe!!! have fun, be safe but play hard and fast!!! bsbd "In a world where we are slaves to gravity I am pleased to be a freedom fighter"
