  1. The pope himself couldn't get the demon out of a cobalt Just open in a track and use a 24 inch pilot chute. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

  3. I was measured for a jumpsuit recently and at first didn't believe the measurements. I even measured the measuring tape. For years I never questioned the number on the pants I buy. If the number on my pants is intended to represent inches, depending on the brand, it is 4 to 5 inches off reality. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
  4. That's pretty interesting. The handle appears to be a crank, but so far haven't found what it would be used for in rigging. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
  5. You suck at your job as repost police. At least tell him it was posted in the swooping and canopy control forum. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
  6. That didn't happen. You can certainly do better than that. At least try... to sound sincere. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
  7. That video is great! Can't wait to see some of these in person. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
  8. That's going to be nice. I want to try one to see how well it performs as a non cross brace canopy. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
  9. + 1 after so many hard openings on my old 190. until I got smart and put thr pocket slider on it I have chronic neck pain Do that, or put a slider that is the same width side to side and 2 to 4 inches longer front to back. A JVX slider does wonders. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
  10. Strangles you huh? Does The chest strap move up and nearly choke you out? If so, your harness is too long. Is this part of what is happening? My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
  11. Steve Curtis, Omar Alhegalan, and Tim Straus. There ain't nuttin wrong with pizza. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
  12. I totally forgot I posted here. Ha..Yeah You're definitely correct. No need to think about it. Posted from my phone in haste! Here's the old handle. Attachment too big. Hang on. Go do something else for a 2 minutes to simulate the time it takes to reduce the photo size. This is a 2011. I kinda like the design.

  13. That is almost correct but not really. It is false! The flap fits between the handle and canopy material. The handle is attached on each of the handle ends. There is a flap size slot for the flap to pass through. I have one at home but I'm a day away from being able to take a picture. If none are posted before then, I'll take one and post it.

  14. Can't really say for certain since i haven't seen you fly but coached tunnel time is never going to hurt you. Who is your coach? I often suggest going to the tunnel to my students if they are struggling. It does wonders with a good coach. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
  15. I can imagine the DZ management didn't want that video to get out. If there was better mentoring happening at that facility, those 3 would not have been jumping together yet, especially with cameras. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
  16. Pool Noodle. Put it under the fitted sheet next to the edge. If you have 2 open sides, then use 2 pool noodles. Poof! You can get shitfaced, go to bed and that pool noodle(s) will keep you safe. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
  17. I can't wait till you accidently pull at a grand or so. You see very little. People you know, or probably have heard of, have done almost exactly that. Its dumb but they won't do it again. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
  18. This is one of, if not, the best videos I've seen regarding wearing cameras as a new jumper. Whoever allowed this video to get out should be thanked for sharing it. They screwed up, lived to tell about it, and could have easily kept it to themselves. Sure it was dumb. They were the first to know about it. I suggest not bashing these guys but learning that almost dead looks just like that. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
  19. We are in agreement. When a student is not able to perform on the ground, I try to convince them it's their idea to sit this one out. Failing that, I will back off the load for them. I have had to do this on very few occasions. I have had a couple students who I've straight up told that I won't let them jump till they pay attention, retrain, and demonstrate they have the mental capacity to perform their duties. That only happens to a few cultural phenomenons who clearly know more than the instructor, and we should be honored to have them students
  20. If the ring (or tab) is to the outside of the riser, the larkshead knot is exposed. The slider gommets are now able to hit the larks head knot. That can, and will, damage the larks head. Damage it enough and the link breaks. If the larkshead knot breaks near the ground, Then you break. ... Good times. This has happened. So yes, it can be a safety issue if the ring is to the outside of the riser. Edit. Referring to main risers. I know of zero instances this has happened on a reserve.

  21. How does the pack volume for the Hybrid Leia compare to an all ZP JVX? The FAQ says 5 to 7 feet larger for the Hybrid, but that's in reference to a ZP Leia. Thanks My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
  22. Thank you Captain Obvious. Thumbs up! My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
  23. They published it after they were arrested. Not before. I've never once considered burglary while urban exploring with a parachute. Trespassing... sure. I knew I was and was not thrilled about the prospect but figured I would get away with it, and if not. I had bail set aside already. The 16 year old did the exact same thing the jumpers did except without a parachute and basically got off. Add the jump and they are felons. I hope they get charges lowered because the deed doesn't fit the charge. I'd say most people discussing this here actually know that.

  24. Your first post... You're replying to THIS 9 year old thread ... that made me laugh. Thanks My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
  25. Don't install Java or flash. Do install adblock and ghostery. First option not an option, Second option is good. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
