tbrown 26 #106 May 22, 2008 It's funny how the standards have changed. I've always pulled at about the same 2800 - 3000 ft. Thirty years ago, people asked me if I was "nervous" for pulling so high. Nowadays some people think I'm "wreckless" for pulling below 3500. I don't worry about it, the one time I actually had a streamer mal, I was chopped and sitting under my reserve above 1500 ft (with no RSL in those days). And compared to the squares we had then, ALL of taoday's canopies, even the student Navigators, would've been considered "extreme". Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

crashtested 0 #107 May 22, 2008 In the back of my first log book, it gave you all free fall times and delays, with you pulling at 2500 I took that as this was a normal height to pull at, so jump number 19 my 1st after getting my A licence 2500 comes and I throw, canopy snivals a bit, under canopy for 1400, with my hands on my handles, couple of turns and i'm on the ground..... CCI was not so amused. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Check his profile. You can get your A licence in 18 jumps under the BPA in the UK. Not all skydivers live in America I have jumped with him, and I can confirm he is XtrEmE.

packerboy 3 #115 May 23, 2008 Quote Quote Quote Extreme is the most overused word in the USA. Sorta like "extreme" skateboarding. Or how 'bout "extreme" car waxing. Nope, the most overused word over there would be :- Awesome. I'd say in skydiving...."inherently", is the most overused and misused. Hmmm... and I thought the most overused word in the US would be something along the lines of: Me I We or oddly enough... us. -------------------------------------------------- In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock. ~ Thomas Jefferson Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any excuse to launch into a hysterical anti-American rant, eh? Well this may come as a shock to you, so I hope you’re firmly seated on your moose, but we really don’t consider the opinions of Canadian skydivers when making energy policy. Apparently your buddies have had more than enough eco-nuttery themselves; conservatives recently swept parliament and made Conservative Party leader Stephen Harper your prime minister.

I've been outed Well this may come as a shock to you, so I hope you’re firmly seated on your moose, but we really don’t consider the opinions of Canadian skydivers when making energy policy. Energy policy? What's that? Use it all, and if we need to then just take it? And it's easy to hang on to the moose, what with those great big antlers! Apparently your buddies have had more than enough eco-nuttery themselves; conservatives recently swept parliament and made Conservative Party leader Stephen Harper your prime minister. Ouch! We have a Prime Minister? I haven't been paying attention... BTW.. it's not that Steven Harper won't do anything about climate change, he's just too stupid to actually understand the fact that it's happening. Isn't ignorance bliss? I didn't vote Conservative. I was hoping Al Gore would come up and give us a run. We'll take em since you don't want em. BTW.. I love Americans (well.. 99% of them that I've met are WAY more polite than Canadians). I just don't like America. I'll keep it in the Bonfire... my apologies. -------------------------------------------------- In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock. ~ Thomas Jefferson Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
happythoughts 0 #120 May 23, 2008 My personal method of being extreme is to walk around with an energy drink and refer to everyone as "dude". Just remember, your landings may affect the resale value of your rig. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crashtested 0 #121 May 23, 2008 It was never that scary, i just thought it would be fun for you to try out your reserve canopy.... Your handle does say "pull" afterall, and you did geek me in a particuly nasty way. its not like you were in the door!!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DougH 270 #122 May 23, 2008 Funny, that is how my friend Ryan picked up his nickname.... Ripcord. More extreme is to hold on to the reserve handle and dump your main.
