lauril

Just watched the vid again, and I have to say it got some serious footage! But have you noticed the monkeyflip scene from the bridge ? (guess you have) I tought it was done with a base canopy, but it's actually done with a paraglider...or to me it seems like a paraglider.. Have you noticed ?

Had a quick change to visit home during work, so here's the pic, it shows the bag and some of the bridle, but we had to pull the drogue out of one tunnel, so it was definietly there...don't be scared of the canopy, it's an old strong, f-111 about 500 sqft..

Don't know how it got there, but the p/c can get in very odd places, we had a tandem at our dz last weekend, in wich the drogue had gone in the tunnel, the tandem master didn't see it, just saw the d-bag hanging in front of the nose and thought that maybe the drogue had wrapped around itself or the bridle...but the canopy was ok, and the t/m brought it down..I have a pic from their landing, but I'm at work, I'll post the pic when I get home...

Thanks mac !! I've been listening that song from the vid for some time, and in about 3 minutes I have it on my hard drive..thank god for computers !

Thought I would post here also because I think people in this forum knows that vid better... First I'd like to say it's an awesome video, one of the best BASE vid's I've seen... But I'd like to get my hands on one song there is, the second song, right after foo fighters.. Anyone know that song ? A little help would be very much appreciated..

Don't want to mess your thread up since I'm not from the us, but here in finland you have to pay little more than $4 a gallon..(we use litres instead of gallons, so it's not accurate, but you get the picture)

commercial, I hate that word But hey eddy, do you know the song I'm looking for ?

1+1=2 Football is better than sex, and skydiving is definietly better than football...so one thing proven here..

maybe, but I have this strange feeling that someone has already downloaded it..

..from skydivingmovies.com, one of the best BASE videos I've ever seen ! But I was wondering if someone knows the second song there is, right after foo fighters.. Kickass video, kickass song, have the video, must have the song too...

Dunno about AFF, but if your student gear has FXC-AAD's, talk to your instructor about the turns and spiralling, because even an agressive 90 degree turn can pop the reserve open, or the aad may become more sensitive and open the reserve the next jump... And hey, remember to have fun

This has been bugging me too for some time, that would be good option to have...

Nice !! I can't be without noticing your turntables and mixer, so what kind of music are you playing ?

#1 is called wolmari pack, and yes it lowers the risk to have line overs, and it's a lot easier to bag than a normal pro-pack because you get a better grip from tha canopy when folding...And it opens just like the normal pro-pack... A friend of mine tried combining wolmari with psycho pack, folding sides over, and then rolling, I don't encourage you to do that, but he has packed like that since...very very easy to bag...

(After checking profile) Correct, 90 jumps is a little early, I personally started about 80-90, and it was no biggie, but I guess I learn a bit faster than the average, and everyone should definetly take their own time to learn stuff... LOL Maybe I'll try that canopy cleaning method of yours, I'm a bit lazy when it comes to cleaning the canopy.. Please note that we are joking, never ever ever pack your canopy slider down !

Sorry for the mud in your canopy, I feel you, mine is muddy too since the snow has just melted from our landing area... Nice handeling there, but you might want to start learning double front risering on landing, so you could have dived where you originally intended, and didn't even have to worry about the fence and the tires and all that...(don't know about the landing area or the conditions, just my opinion/advice)

They changed their tactics...

Agreed. I have motorola T-something, and for ex. writing sms's is like hell, and the whole interface (I think it's called an interface) sucks... They are nice looking and small, but there's got to be more than that...

And zeemax, If you like to write, then you'll love this, it's not in the market yet, but coming soon...I have tried it a couple of times...even played the skydiving game with it Edit to add the pic

I think my present phone is my tenth, got a phone when I was about fifteen..(21 now) I'm looking forward to my eleventh, because this sucks ! It's a motorola, (no offence) but it's nothing compared to nokia... Always in my left pocket, always...

Well you can always go here, look the 'under canopy' articles...

I wish...but there's couple of people from our dz who work with nokia, every weekend they have a new nokia prototype phone, with or without camera.. (mostly with tough) There's even a skydiving game in few...downloadable from the internet with wap connection..

If you're living at the dz, who would call you ? Or who you'd call ? Or do you have 'real' friends ? I hate to be one, when the battery runs out or you forget it somewhere, it feels like you've lost your head...

Just curious, since here in Finland everyone from at least age ten to up has a cellphone...And even younger sometimes, from about when they start school.. I think thats kinda fu**ed up to have a cellphone so young, no ten year-old needs a phone...
