  1. Couple of years ago on a Samurai 120 @ 1.85 ... broken C line at attachment point. It was easy to see the line trailing behind me, but I did not notice a difference in performance. FWIW: it was a conservative landing. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=2313855;search_string=broken%20c%20line;#2313855
  2. Or skip the music completely. There are many videos that simply don't need the music or worse -- the music covers the raw sound of the environment.
  3. 500 jumps, 2 years in the sport and moving up to a JVX. Very cool. The 50 wingsuit jumps certainly helped you get more out of your current canopies, so rock on...
  4. Big thanks to Tommy Dellibac for making the trek out to Skydive Twin Cities (Baldwin, WI) to teach the Flight-1 canopy courses last weekend. The Flight-1 courses are very well structured and it was great working with Tommy. http://flight-1.com/sport Thanks also to the folks at Baldwin for hosting the classes. http://www.skydivetwincities.com/
  5. You're a whore. edit to add: I like the chart, but damn ... you do get around!
  6. ... your job. Man up and cut away. Go for it.
  7. Demo a Neos 109 and find out for yourself... http://www.para-concepts.com/Store/index.php?cPath=30_33 If it helps any, the 109 was a very tight fit in my V319 which comfortably holds a Samurai 120 and Xaos21-104. Not at the same time, of course. I have a copy of the UPT sizing chart from 2009 and another from 2012. Interesting changes to many of the recommendations. Enough of a difference that I would not completely trust the chart alone.
  8. Perhaps, but there is at least one guest star who's still vertical. Wonder if she still has the outfit? yummy... http://www.imdb.com/media/rm175609856/nm0001174 Barbara Eden was in one episode and she spent the entire time strutting around in a tight, little dress -- working downtown, driving all the old men crazy.
  9. What about during the climb to altitiude? Are we assuming that the airplanes are perfect? Or are you not including Lodi in this fantasy?
  10. Bagging session? That sounds dirty. Can we just talk about canopies?
  11. Why? What about the VX makes it THE next canopy for you?

  13. As with anything you read here, talk to a local instructor or other experienced jumper about it before trying yourself, but this technique can work well for some types of line twists... http://vimeo.com/29103767
  14. Put the spurs to her, Levon.
  15. 3, 2, 1 ... start bashing lawyers!
  16. What does an anonymous poster with a blank profile see when they look in the mirror?
  17. That's kind of what I thought, just wasn't sure. My KPM (Kiwi Processing Module) probably needs to be recalibrated. Thanks.
  18. Please excuse this thread drift from the prior thread drift... "cop a blast"?
  19. There's an easy fix for that. Create another account with an anonymous profile...
  20. Jesus Christ on a Bicycle! Are you planning to work manifest somewhere? Guess I'll have to avoid Tampa Bay.
