  1. cant wait to see the replies to this one.... sorry alti 2 galaxy (analog altimeter) not the digital one
  2. I liked both.. let us know if you win. I may unlike the page after they sponsor your wedding just because that is a lame rule you have already brought way more attention to their site than any one else
  3. done... looks like your winning in a landslide
  4. your right and to be honest I have no problem with any ones beliefs, religion helps some people overcome horrible situations. its the ideologies that come with certain beliefs, yes muslims tend to have some very bad ones but there not the only ones. as mentioned above Christianity has been involved in some atrocities and also tells people who they have the right to spend there life with and that evolutionary science is not true ( which I believe is a disservice to tell children )
  5. Speaking as a professional drug abuse counselor, that is exactly how those behaviors are treated. and that's how we should treat religion.. like a bad habit
  6. I have an alti2 so no issues there. im gonna ask around the dz to try some different helmets out first thanks for all the advice
  7. i think it is time to finally drop the cash and get a G3. but I also have a very nice pair of sunglasses I rarely take off and was wondering if anyone has ever had any issues with wearing glasses underneath their full face helmet. will the polarized glasses effect the vision like in a car with tinted windows? or will it have no effect if I keep the clear visor on
  8. ok I will possibly be coming to the charlotte area in april. it appears the nearest dropzone is skydive Carolina. Does any one know if there is camping there? I wont have a car but can be dropped off either for one day or a long weekend ( Thursday thru sunday) if there is a place to sleep. Also any other info about the DZ or any others in the area that may have camping or something along those lines Thanks!
  9. we have a guy at our DZ who is around that age I believe 65. he also had some SL back in the day. he almost has his A license now and seems to really enjoy it. he isn't progressing as quickly as us younger newbies but who cares he is having fun. if your physically healthy I say go for it
  10. i would also be interested to know how that works

    I haven't finished it yet either but it is very thought provoking

    climate change

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0Cp7DrvNLQ (couldn't figure out how to make it a link) randall Carlson on the joe rogan experience. you can skip to around 21:00 for climate change but everything this guy talks about is interesting
  15. yes I agree. the stereotype of an attractive female with no personality, while there are instances when it is true, it is kind of childish. There are plenty of beautiful women with great personalities.. just as there are black people who don't like fried chicken, Asians who suck at math, and white guys with big... you get the point, no need to say someones looks makes there personality bad
  16. I did exactly what your thinking of doing and at first it was very difficulty but after 5-10 pack jobs I felt way better about it. my canopy already had a few hundred jumps when I got it though. For me I don't have a season im in florida so if I wasnt able to jump my pack jobs I would have never felt confident that I was doing it correctly. once I realized that it would open I wasn't as overwhelmed with every little detail and your more willing to just shove it in the bag without wondering if you ruined everything you did flaking, etc
  17. None, but mohels sucking baby dicks with open wounds are giving herpes to children during their circumcision ritual and nobody is doing anything about it because of the sanctity of the dumb ass religion*. * I think all religions are stupid and awful, I'm not specifically targeting the jews here. I was raised in a jewish family, though, so I've got a bit more experience-driven venom to deploy. this.. extreme religious ideologies. The belief of a higher being is not an issue with me rather than the ideologies that come along with certain beliefs that extremists of each religion have
  18. if I did it correctly I came up with about 13% seems low j=58 d=6 f=73
  19. where are you jumping? have you asked the DZ what they think and your different options.. I agree I think 5 tandems is unnecessary but everyones path is different.
  20. I was way more nervous for my first aff jump then my tandem. tandem you can just put your trust in the instructor aff your responsible for a lot more
  21. did one tandem.. then 5 years later after school was finished and had good job i started AFF. I wanted to do it on my own. I did fine under canopy but have seen students who probably benefited from having a few tandems first. guy at the dz the other day said he plans on doing 10 before he starts AFF.. that seems excessive
