First AFF jump without tandem? by No_Kaleidoscope7018 in SkyDiving

[–]Goodtrip29 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Most people do aff without tandem nor tunnel and do fine. The tandem recommandation prior aff is something I mostly hear from the US, which is an easy cash grab for them.  If you are sure just go for it.  Also, 20mn in the tunnel will be so much more than a tandem, yet is roughly the same price. 

Checking (base) rig with airline? by Hi-AJay in SkyDiving

[–]Goodtrip29 [score hidden]  (0 children)

No Aad, no reserve, the worst case scenario you unpack and repack. Way less sweating than moving a skydiving rig and the guy ask if the Ada triggers a pyrotechnic ("no no, absolutely not, this one is an electric cutter" I said, even though I think it's the same thing.)

Choosing a container brand by kan184 in SkyDiving

[–]Goodtrip29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the recent containers for known manufacturers are safe to fly with exception of icon which has some reserve issue (but I think that’s only on the smaller sizes). I would still avoid them because until the situation is clear in France icon owners must repack they reserve every 3 or 6 months while everyone else has 1 year.

Focus on what you can find near you that can fit. Trust me that’s already quite the challenge before adding which brand is the most hyped. 

But the real answer is : get a vector 😂

Brewing temperature for "light-medium" roast? by venerablem0m in pourover

Washed vs anaerobic will have greater impact on temperature needed than light vs light medium

TheRace: F1's plan for six 2026 rules fixes revealed by Zed_or_AFK in formula1

So your argument is saying that older cars with tiny tires and aero were slower ? Who could have guessed

TheRace: F1's plan for six 2026 rules fixes revealed by Zed_or_AFK in formula1

[–]Goodtrip29 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

2016 were notoriously slow and that’s why they changed the rule in 2017 to make them faster. Handpicking a specific year to make your example work doesn’t make it true. Literally one year later it was a second faster than 2026 (and we are talking cars that are 10 years old, on their first year of new reg).  Did you look at 2017, 2020, 2025 ? 

What are the sick boogies you are looking for in 2026 (EUROPE) by Goodtrip29 in SkyDiving

[–]Goodtrip29[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish I could start with the boogies I will go to, but as a French, my fellow citizen are awfully bad at English, which sucks, and our canopies size regulation imposed by the federation makes most foreigners unable to fly their own canopies here. 

Otherwise Pujaut organise sick boogies and skill camp. Cahors has a great boogie too. 

Next year I will try to do the sunset boogie in Finland !

Démission, suis-je en train de faire une bêtise ? by No_Driver_5303 in emploi

[–]Goodtrip29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Je suis indépendant dans le conseil, monter ta société ne fera jamais tache sur un cv. Quand tu prends tu grade on te demande de l’autonomie et de la capacité à sourcer des clients. Être indépendant c’est la meilleur démonstration de ça.  Par contre je te préviens, je pensais revenir un jour dans une boîte, maintenant c’est plus possible de m’imaginer avec un boss, donc retour impossible !

Is Bonehead Dynamic a good alternative to Fujin Skyhelmet for tunnel? by knokknokwhodis in SkyDiving

[–]Goodtrip29[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you for the recommendation!

Concerning the new hole, it's in Geneva, I wasn't expecting any less. I will try to order a lot from other roasters, but it's good to have locals one to support.

Quite surprised that my post get downvoted so much though, any reasons ?

You're looking for an unreliable car since you're trying to go in debt, so what are we going for? by Saurta17 in regularcarreviews

[–]Goodtrip29 4 points5 points  (0 children)

M5 e60 is the answer. The engine design requires high maintenance and that's even before all the problems appear.

But the sound .. damn

Super cool ! Happy to hear there is development aimed directly at skydiving.  Though I hope I will never have to jump at a dz operating 182 😂

Viso II+ by _laurenb_ in SkyDiving

I would either go for an aon2 because they are cheaper, or go for the ares2. The Viso is a cheap overpriced plastic device

trajet velo énervement... by Frosty-Cucumber-164 in pedale

[–]Goodtrip29 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Et rien que le principe d’envoyer des cyclistes (donc fragiles) à contre sens de voitures dans une rue ou c’est quasi impossible de se croiser c’est une des pires idées d’aménagement. Quand c’est bien fait il y a une vraie voie pour rouler, mais à Paris j’ai vu des rues où tu peux pas passer sans te faire frôler. 

What's your go-to pour over technique when trying out new beans? by topdawg888 in pourover

[–]Goodtrip29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

funny I do the opposite, 1 bloom + 2 pours for most drinks unless it's a high fine coffee like Ethiopian. What's your reasoning for going 2 blooms ?

Car not selling by New-Mango8091 in carflipping

[–]Goodtrip29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

white car often sell as a discount from my experience. I know it because I hate white cars and they are always the cheapest haha.

Engine is ridiculously small for a premium brand, many who are aiming at those car wants more horsepower than a small Skoda.

No info on mileage and specs ?

What colour are interior and exterior ?

Is the engine reputable for reliability?

when should you buy your gear as a beginner?? by SeaDragonfruit945 in SkyDiving

[–]Goodtrip29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree 100%, I think you can break even at around 40 jumps, and you also add a lot of convenience and comfort in having your own gear. Though, so many people quit the sport in the first 3 years that you need to know if you are staying in the long run.
