This reminds me of ye old timey twitter days. I miss those days. Thanks for making this.
@Kungfupussy I'm hoping to see more of the good folks migrate here, a lot of people have accounts but don't really use them yet. I guess we'll see what happens with the bird app now - I'm sure it'll be just fantastic. /s
@NickTheSkydiver I’m glad you’re here! Now don’t get banned here too!!
@Kungfupussy No worries about that - I find this place is much nicer and I will keep it that way.
@NickTheSkydiver your diving stuff looked awesome
@NickTheSkydiver great photo! I’m honestly surprised at what you’re wearing - isn’t it cold up there??
@NickTheSkydiver legit fascinating. I had no idea
@Kungfupussy Here's a screenshot of current conditions at Skydive Elsinore. We get out between 12.5-14. It's cold up there but you're not really there long enough to notice. Also to a point friction from the wind on your skin when travelling over 125mph (as high as 170, I've hit) does actually feel warm.
@Kungfupussy Not really, no. You lose about 1-1.5°C per thousand feet of altitude roughly, and it was really hot that weekend (in the low 30s). We were flying with the door open to about 6000' before it was even slightly uncomfortable.
Also people do jump naked from time to time. This summer at one of the events I was at they tried to set a NY state record for largest naked formation. Not everyone made it back to the DZ, some landed at a campground across the river. Seriously.
