Motodelta D-bag Jump

Hello everyone!
I am Colin from Romania, and I recently got an opportunity to jump via D-bag from a motodelta trike. So, if anybody can help me with a jumping PROCEDURE, advice or links that would improve the safety , I would be very grateful! (I've jumped from tandem and baloon before, but it's my first time from motodelta (deltaplano))
Lots of thanx to everybody! Acro rulez!

Releasing a base jumper from a tandem

Hi everyone,
next spring i'll have the opportunity to take my base jumper friend on a tandem ride and release him out in a relatively strong thermal conditions, he required at least 1000m altitude difference to perform a safe drop. So, i'm sure there's plenty of you guys who had that experience. Staying alone on a 38,4 m/2 proj. with my 70 kg body weight makes me wonder how does the tandem wing behave in a full stall and nose down spiral and which one of these two is more efficient to get it back down. Thanks in advance

3D Paragliding

Hi All,

First ever 3D paragliding video (at least as far as I`m aware),you need to watch it in HD with blue/red pair of glasses. It worked perfect for me. Acro 3D would be even cooler !!!
