Good news for those that hook

Recommended Posts

Amazing! I remember back in my schooling days going over to Baxter and they were using this crazy machine to do something along those lines. Doctors would send in 3d scans of various things, like for instance a skull. They'd port the 3d scan into this machine and press the go button. There was this pool of liquid that a laser would make passes over and slowly out of the liquid would emerge a plastic replica of what the scan was.

I was blown away!

Me, I got my metal from a game of chicken



Speaking of chickens, that guy strapped to me could have used some of that plastic. He, uh, didn't make it all the way through our jump together... he used to sing and dance when you pressed his foot... :S:S

people loaded 1:1



Yeah - they're usually trying to make it back to the landing area under long spot, high winds. There is one safety advantage to higher WL - I never have trouble getting penetration in high wind.

I've seen people loaded 1:1 who don't "hook it" break shit before



That's pretty drunk, isn't it? In Texas it's only .08 :P

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)
