    Not to mention the day blazing too... at least he wasn't from North Carolina.



    The Boyz in question are from Eastern North Carolina...

    You can get a lot more done with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone.

    First off: thanx..although I'm only sharing what I was taught.

    The idea behind this set-up is the fact that it's disposable. The connector link goes with you, so it can be, and is re-used, while the static line itself is (in most cases) a one shot deal. I don't get too concerned about recovering the s/l, as it is nothing more than "used" suspension line saved from a friends Mojo when he had it re-lined. The amount of line salvaged from one canopy is enough for a fuck-load of s/l jumps, and is quite cost-efficient. I keep a handful of pre-made static lines in my carry on "fag-bag"( fanny pack?), and also keep a fair amount of extra line in said bag in case I need to lengthen the s/l for any reason (distant anchor points). In this case I just make another "loop" out of suspension line, and larks head it to a pre-made s/l and, in turn larks head it to the object.
    Feel free to insert your favorite disclaimer here, as I (like most people) consider myself a test jumper on every jump.
    Hope this answers your questions. If not, feel free to flame me/ask me to clarify...

    Actually, I'm agnostic.



    Most people I've met that consider themselves "agnostic", are just atheists without the balls to call themselves so...:|

    Got to see a lot of old familiar faces, and met several new ones that I hope to see more of in the future...

    Is is just me or does Miles always look like he is wearing clown makeup? I think that Rosatia has set in on Miles, and that he does all of these "cool" things to try to pretend he is not an old man well beyond his prime. He looks a lot like an old Aunt of mine.



    I was thinkin' he kinda looked (and sounded) like that "kid" Stuart, on Mad TV.
