"So what about if you're just a normal, up-standing respectable skydiver like myself" Well you have to have some balance - you warped perverted sicko................ bsbd "In a world where we are slaves to gravity I am pleased to be a freedom fighter"

Just in case any locals missed it.......any FreeFliers out there during these dates?........... time is ticking down to long Spanish weekender.................. bsbd "In a world where we are slaves to gravity I am pleased to be a freedom fighter"

the skydivers I know are more likely to act on their 'perverted' desires. Which I kind of respect... ah shucks thanks emmy...................... In a place where ex-cons, ex-junkies, depressives, insane people, lawyers, accountants, perverts, gay-boys, sheep shaggers, tattoo', pierced, rockers, motorcyclists, divers, mad-phukers with death wishes, kind gentle women, hip-hoppers, drug takers, alcholoics, fat, thin, funny, twats are all together getting on is an amazing place to be - if only real life did not have these social boundries it would be much nicer......... my friend once said the DZ is a place where mis-fits fit.............. and he was right................. bsbd "In a world where we are slaves to gravity I am pleased to be a freedom fighter"

"jay from jay and silent bob" What is this?........... is this the Jay and Silent bob from Clerks............. that movie is one of the funniest ever! bsbd "In a world where we are slaves to gravity I am pleased to be a freedom fighter"

FFlier 1 sits with legs out of the door - FFlier 2 crouchs behind with legs either side - rock the count out and FFlier 1 pushes out - make sure FFlier 2 does not go too quickly or it will tumble................. I have never done it from a 182 but that sounds as if it should work - mind your heads fellas! bsbd "In a world where we are slaves to gravity I am pleased to be a freedom fighter"

I Dont agree - it is much harder to learn in real baggy suits - coz you are battling not just against being stable but the hefty drag aswell - the advantage of learning in real baggy suits is that once you crack it you will have a much large range of speed and be able to fly in baggy or non baggy - whereas learn in a tight suit you aint gonna be flying a real baggy suit easily and you dont have the Xtreme range of speed............. just my 2 pieces of 8 bsbd "In a world where we are slaves to gravity I am pleased to be a freedom fighter"

So would you say trying this on my Sabre135 loaded at 1.6 would not be advisable..... perhaps wait until I get a smaller elliptical.................?? Thanks for the help............ cheers Geoff! bsbd "In a world where we are slaves to gravity I am pleased to be a freedom fighter"

Women and BASE has been discussed a few times................. http://www.blincmagazine.com/cgi-bin/forum/dcboard.cgi?az=show_thread&om=2613&forum=board http://www.blincmagazine.com/cgi-bin/forum/dcboard.cgi?az=show_thread&om=2539&forum=board http://www.blincmagazine.com/cgi-bin/forum/dcboard.cgi?az=show_thread&om=2648&forum=board With some great words of wisdom!!!.............. bsbd "In a world where we are slaves to gravity I am pleased to be a freedom fighter"

"I can join you freaks... and this time it's for good" You will have to wait til march for me and Alex to fly withcha!! So anyone with some constructive thoughts on this subject rather than - you gonna kill ya self or dont bottle it???.................. someone MUST know!!! bsbd "In a world where we are slaves to gravity I am pleased to be a freedom fighter"

I have done only 12 jumps since my grounding (2nd December 2000) at another DZ.......god i need some airtime!......... mmmm........ spain is close! anyway I have learnt my lesson..... I enjoy the canopy ride now and get more of a buzz pulling off a nice low hook than I do from goingwaylow............... and I know have bets on with many people that I will not get grounded in 2002....... so I will be very well behaved.............. you wont recognise me! bsbd "In a world where we are slaves to gravity I am pleased to be a freedom fighter"

Bored sat at work so I thought about things to do next time in the air........... its been a while......... this grounding lark sucks!!.......so..................Does anyone have experience of barrel rolling a canopy. Firstly how can you test that the canopy your flying will create enough speed and momentum to actually barrel roll rather than dump you into the bottom skin and into one of the worst days of your life? What drills can you practice leading towards this Manoeuvre? How do you complete the barrel roll? Thanks for any information.............. http://www.undercanopy.com/rolls/broll-crash.mpg bsbd "In a world where we are slaves to gravity I am pleased to be a freedom fighter"

I have flown a Jedei 136 several times (loaded 1.55) and my inexperienced opinion on them dont look at the opening!..... it tended to snivel and then crack open....... my first openning caused a very badly jarred neck.......... but then when learnt that lesson found it a beautiful canopy to fly............ Enjoy.................... (my mate wont sell me his!!).......... bsbd "In a world where we are slaves to gravity I am pleased to be a freedom fighter"

Why do an aircraft when you can do a B or A or S or E........where is your thought going on this???........... check out ABA there is a discussion about it........... bsbd "In a world where we are slaves to gravity I am pleased to be a freedom fighter"

My advice - slow down dude............. you sound like you want to know everything NOW!!!!........... take it easy and take all info in ............. you never stop learning in this sport.................. it aint a race.............. chill and enjoy................. just my 2 pieces of 8 bsbd "In a world where we are slaves to gravity I am pleased to be a freedom fighter"

Just curious - are there dropzones in the US that are not controlled by the USPA (i think thats your version of the BPA) as in there are no strict regulations and a more relaxed attitude to rules??...... I have heard someone mention that there are were........... am I right or did I dream this???.......... bsbd "In a world where we are slaves to gravity I am pleased to be a freedom fighter"

Stolen from icaruscanopies.com This article is meant as a guide only, there are many factors that come into play such as competence, DZ Altitude, density altitude etc. We suggest you discuss your canopy style and size with your instructor or safety officer at your DZ before making a performance style and size selection. The wing loadings given here relate to Icarus canopies and Icarus canopy sizings. Many manufacturers use different sizing methods, our sizing relates to most canopies in the field but not all. There has been some talk recently about rethinking wing loadings to determine performance as several factors are not allowed for using a weight to area ratio. When a canopy size is changed and/or the weight under it varied, several factors change and many things do not remain in proportion. HOWEVER, WING LOADINGS ARE STILL A VERY USEFUL REFERENCE TO ASSESSING AND PREDICTING A CANOPIES PERFORMANCE. Although interesting to understand, There has been to much importance put on this point in my opinion. Scale effect is significant when designing a model airplane but for our situation the differences involved are minimal and not worth introducing at the sacrifice of being able to talk easily in wing loading terminology. There are three main factors you will need to consider when selecting a canopy: Your weight, Your experience and ability, The type of canopy ride you want. There are many canopy "model specific" performance variations that are detailed below. We have graphed each canopies performance envelope as a quick guide on the next page. The performance of any canopy will vary greatly with wing loading. Any canopy can go from a student canopy to a rocket ship depending on the size ordered and the weight of the user. Wing loadings are used as a guide to this combination of size and weight that will determine a canopies performance. Wing loadings are measured in Pounds (at exit weight) per Square foot (of canopy area) or "PSF" and are calculated by dividing the exit weight into the canopy size. We have further grouped wing loading ranges into 6 different classes of performance, to explain the performance you may expect within this wing loading class. There is a gradual change in performance between the classes. The class description describes the mid range of each class, and the wing loadings at either end may tend towards another class. Class 1 Student Canopy .5 to .75 Lbs/SqFt wing loading. This wing loading will perform basically as a student canopy. You may wish to choose a canopy in this range if you are very unsure of your ability, physically injured or disabled in some way, elderly or frail or as a student canopy. A canopy in this class should not be jumped in over 15 knots. These canopies are easily affected by turbulence. Class 2 Docile .75 to 1.00 Lbs/SqFt wing loading. Still a very docile range. This would suit an advanced student canopy or a first canopy for someone preferring to err on the safe side. Again affected by higher wind conditions before most canopies would be. Class 3 Mid Range 1.0 to1.25lbs/SqFt wing loading This mid range of canopy is a good bench mark to work from. These canopies are high enough wing loading to start having a little fun yet low enough that a reasonably competent low time jumper could handle one as a first canopy (check with your C.S.O.) and still have a canopy they want to be jumping in a couple of hundred jumps time. This is also getting into the range that must be treated with a little respect however still has a reasonably good margin for error. Most of the canopies we sell are in this range. From this loading up, most wind conditions allowable for jumping are not a problem. Class 4 High performance 1.25 to 1.65 Lbs/SqFt wing loading Now we're having fun ! We're also into potentially high danger area! Turn speeds are increasing air speeds and speed range are increasing dramatically all of which provides us with a direct trade off between fun and safety. Canopies in this range must be flown to the ground! Recovery arc's are generally over 200 feet and toggle input movements are getting noticeably shorter. A high degree of experience and competence is necessary to handle a canopy in this range. Flying a canopy in this range must be done by feel, every maneuver must be well planned ahead as things are happening very quickly. With a high wing loading turbulence will affect the canopy less but if affected remember you are traveling much faster. Being dropped 1/2 a meter by turbulence under a class 2 canopy isn't even going to affect your stand up landing but being dropped 1/2 a meter in the middle of your ballistic turf surf could ruin your summer. The same goes for other obstacles - buildings, fences, people, other canopies, etc, have much more impact at high speeds. Even uneven ground or short landing areas should be considered obstacles. These canopies will still be traveling horizontally in nil wind conditions. A collapsible pilot chute is recommended. Lowering the slider and loosening ones chest strap is suggested. Class 5 Extreme 1.65 to 2.00 Lbs/SqFt wing loading Not for the faint hearted. If you are one of the few people that want to fly a class 5 canopy consider every aspect of what you are doing very carefully. On the up side there is very exhilarating airspeed, quick response times and powerful maneuverability. On the down side our margin for error has reduced to almost nothing (!), compounded by the fact that if we do make an error we are almost certainly traveling at speeds that can maim. If you have or are considering a class 5 canopy we can't tell you how to fly it in this overview, we must assume you know what you are doing. Most people I watch flying class 5 canopies don't fly them to the limits of the canopy and the performance they achieve from their canopy could be achieved from a class 4 canopy flown to its limits with a far greater safety margin. These canopies generally have to be run out on landing. They must be fitted with a collapsible pilot chute. Lowering and collapsing the slider and loosening the chest strap is recommended. Canopy recovery arcs can be over 400 Ft radius. The step from a class 4 canopy to a class 5 canopy can be quite large i.e. for a 80 kg jumper with gear and weights the difference between a 105 and a 95 feels similar to the difference between a 130 and a 105. Class 6 BALLISTIC ! ! ! 2.0 to 2.4 Lbs/SqFt wing loading. If you are considering this, you don't need an explanation.

I think equating not doing it to being a whuffo is a little skewed. just making a point in "I would but.............." as many whuffos do about skydiving as mentioned earlier............... just a point being made................... I know many that say yeah I would ............. but they dont spend the time reading and learning about it that would help them one day get to the exit point........................ read the Blinc board.............. BASE'rs call skydivers whuffos............. its all relative!!! - thats my point............ bsbd "In a world where we are slaves to gravity I am pleased to be a freedom fighter"

Wife? New Rig? Is this not like "well i would but................" just like whuffos say about skydiving.............. does this not make you just a BASE jump whuffo where people laugh at you?!?!? Wife = dont tell her.......... Rig = BASE rigs are cheaper than skydive rigs - dont skydive as much and buy one............ My point = We are all Whuffos in one way or another!!!! bsbd "In a world where we are slaves to gravity I am pleased to be a freedom fighter"

So I say "Nah. If I wanted adrenaline I'd BASE jump." So of course they ask if I would and I reply "Absolutely." So in a way of skydiver talking to whuffo "why dont you then!" bsbd "In a world where we are slaves to gravity I am pleased to be a freedom fighter"

Any Freefliers local or visiting during these dates? I am going out with a four way team who are doing a training camp so will be looking for some FreeFliers to mix it up with............. bsbd "In a world where we are slaves to gravity I am pleased to be a freedom fighter"

says she.............. ;op bsbd "In a world where we are slaves to gravity I am pleased to be a freedom fighter"

most questions stem from a lack of thought about some simple laws of physics...................... thats why the questions are seen as laughable............ think back i am sure most people here did not think in such a thoughtless manner.......... anyway most people on a DZ will rip the piss outta each other coz thats the way we are - nothing evil about it........ so if we do it to each other why not do it to non-jumpers?? bsbd "In a world where we are slaves to gravity I am pleased to be a freedom fighter"
