  1. It's always available. So the question is: are you ready? Just hang in there an relax. Patience always pays the highest dividends. Someone will come along when you least expect it... (now where did I put your address again???) "pull high! It's lower than you think..."
  2. Fully understood... I guess there is an "un-spoken" rule of sorts that underlies most of the info here as opinionated, or at the very least, relative to personal experience. All I was trying to do was bring the attention back to that fact. It's so much more beneficial to rack up personal experiences and observations than to simply take the word of another for this very reason. Blue ones... "pull high! It's lower than you think..."
  3. Does that mean you want to make a purchase??? "pull high! It's lower than you think..."
  4. For great company and quality time, please call diver123 at: 949-555-1234... I'm available from 12 to 12 m-f... "pull high! It's lower than you think..."
  5. That's definitely a quote written by someone who's hurting in the "recent lovin" department. "pull high! It's lower than you think..."
  6. You're still basing projected "actual" results on theory rather than reality... Maybe it has more potential to spin, but that doesn't guarantee that it will be the standard when summarizing actual experiences... That's like saying; since a porsche is designed for speed, all porsches will skid out around corners. Line twists are almost 100% based on the pilots actions during opening and flight, not the canopy. "pull high! It's lower than you think..."
  7. How can people say things like this? -"Stiletto is much more prone to line-twists on opening. It's just the way the canopy is designed. Many Stiletto-pilots will say that they've never had problems, but it _is_ easier to get twists on a Stiletto than on a Springo." Have you tested the two canopies side by side in identical situations while recording the data that you retrieved? If not, maybe you should preface your statement with something like this: "In my opinion" , not "it_is_easier"... Food for thought maybe. "pull high! It's lower than you think..."
  8. Not quite... I went last year and it was a cool site for sure. You can't see them exit too well, but as soon as they open they're pretty easy to pick up (wearing glow sticks)... Then if you watch real hard you can pick up what appears to be a shadowy figure as they setup and come in for the demo. The pond has a bunch of coffee can lanterns setup lineing both sides which makes it easy to see once they've entered the area. I personally think the noise and, for the most part, absence of visual reference until they're right up on you makes it fun to watch... Come check it out. "pull high! It's lower than you think..."
  9. sounds like a dating forum now! I enjoy long walks in the ... bwahaa! "pull high! It's lower than you think..."
  10. Hey b^2, how long ago did you train up at SDO? "pull high! It's lower than you think..."

    Elsinore... "pull high! It's lower than you think..."
  12. "I've had several opportunities to cutaway what looked at first glance to be an unrecoverable malfunction," What exactly where these several unrecoverable malfunctions? "pull high! It's lower than you think..."
  13. okay then, but when he's all out... "pull high! It's lower than you think..."
  14. Sorry you're feeling that way. If there's anything I can do to make you feel better, let me know K. "pull high! It's lower than you think..."
  15. What exactly are you feeling at 26? "pull high! It's lower than you think..."
  16. That post was in fun and was a reply to the humble comment left earlier... Sorry if it was taken the wrong way... "pull high! It's lower than you think..."
  17. humbleness is measured in action, not proclamation. "pull high! It's lower than you think..."
  18. That wasn't very nice... I was just curious, didn't mean anything by it. "pull high! It's lower than you think..."
  19. That's a very unique description. Single, childless, and "not too ugly"... "pull high! It's lower than you think..."
  20. Crazy stuff. I actually live in Costa Mesa (right near triangle square). That's the good news. The bad news is I jump at Elsinore... I'd say we could carpool but Perris is farther so I stop first. "pull high! It's lower than you think..."
  21. I'd say! "pull high! It's lower than you think..."
  22. Funny you ask! I have a 2000 GT and as many tickets as I do years in my model! I pay 145/mo. "pull high! It's lower than you think..."
  23. I've got to ask. Is someone going to try and compute the average age of our dz.com skydiving community when this post has matured? I think that info would be quite interesting... Maybe I'll do it then... "pull high! It's lower than you think..."
  24. The fact that you're 40 and jumping tells me that you're young at heart and that's what really counts anyways... "pull high! It's lower than you think..."
  25. Made it to the hump... The big 25!!! "pull high! It's lower than you think..."
