1 word....

awesome

=============================

Ok, so how do you do that clicky thingy? Do you put the url thing before and after the link? To think I jump off cliffs

Use this syntax, but replace the { with [

{url}link{/url}

or

{url "link"}name of link{/url}

Hey Assburgers!

Nice footage dude... Who was the guy sinking out on you on that 2nd jump? Voice sounded familiar...

Doesn't look like I'm gonna be able to make it this year after all.... Very bummed.

Talk soon Frank,

The video is awsome!

That was Ralph Greeny. He wasnt sinking, he told me before the jump that he wanted to take it close to the rock and hug the ground.

Assburgers!

Out,

Sweet flight Douglas
Glad you figured out how to upload to the server, extremely complicated eh...

See ya around!

Awesome!! Thanks a lot for the videos.

What kind of glide is needed to make it to the landing area you landed in (Smellveggan jump)?

Kris.

the required Glide Ratio would depend on how high above the ground you are prepared to open

i think it's about 2:1 if you open around 150m but i could be talking shite.

Well the cliff is 3000ft and the horizontal distance to the edge of the water is about a mile. Given the distance it takes to get flying you need about a 2:1 just to impact the shore. Now if your like me, you prefer to deploy and try again later. No big deal if you dont make it, just land in the water (I have plenty of experience and video) There are people flying well over the camp ground and deploying. I find that I would tend to look up towards the end of the flight to see if I would end up being dry or wet. This tends to hose your glide angle and flight.

Robbie says...

HAHAHA yeah, I remember that.

Can that be shared here? Please

Kris.

Well Kris, we were actually making fun of you. I think it would be rude for me to let you in on the little joke.

O.k, nevermind then

Kris.

Ha ha ha ha ha.
