  1. Hi

    Probably a year ago someone post a link to a site that does kanji tattoo translation. The site showed some horrible mishaps. If you know of the site please post the link.

    Thanks

  2. One other thing don't do the ad linking on the preview post page as user can then check the preview to see which word they need to get creative with to avoid ads link.

    ps. Also try to match and remove open close brackets with nothing in between or just spaces in between.

  3. Hi Sangiro

    Maybe try doing pattern maching the sold word by specifying that it has to Either be at the start of the line and needs to end with a space or it needs to start with a space and end with a space.

    php e.g.

    preg_replace('/^Icon /', $replacementText, $string);//Replace any Icon at the start of the line with the content of $replacementText
    preg_replace('/ Icon /', $replacementText, $string);//replace any Icon that is between two spaces
    preg_replace('/ Icon$/', $replacementText, $string);//replaces any Icon that start with space and ends the line.

  5. Hi

    I understand what you're saying but personally I went there for the tailgate aircraft.

    I can almost garentee that if they had informed people a day before the event that their so called confirmed aircraft had cancelled very little people would have gone.

    Besides R395 is alot for regestration and only being able to do 2 jumps in a day is a JOKE.

  6. Positives

    I completed my C license requirements.

    Registration was quick and easy.

    Accomadation was well organised.


    Negatives

    I spent alot of money on two birdman weekends to
    prepare for flocking dives out of tailgate. By the time I left no flocking had started, due to aircraft shortage and slow turn around times.

    I was looking forward to doing at least 20 jumps I only
    managed to get 3 jumps in 4 days.


    Conclussion

    I probably won't support this boogie again until it has
    proven itself.

  7. Right of admission is reserved.

    A DZ/DZO has the right to choose with whom he does bussiness. It's that simple, if you are not happy with the
    way they do bussiness go to another DZ, if other people
    feel the same the DZ won't last very long.

    Eg. I don't like the Golden Arches I choose not to support
    them.

  11. Hi Taz

    Thanks for the kind words but don't underestimate you hand in things. It's easy learn from someone who has a great passion for wing suiting!

    Your tips and encouragement also made a huge difference to my first experience with wing suits.

    Thanks again, I knew between you and Tonto I'd be in great hands.

    I also need to thanks the rest of people on the five way for there willingness to jump with a newbie birdman.

  12. Hi All

    The past weekend I did my first wing suit jumps with Taz as my BMI. This has been a long wait for me as I wanted to birdman since about jump 110. SA rules require a jumper to have at least 300 jump prior to doing a birdman jump.

    I had been managing my expectation as much as possible to avoid any let down. It was so not necessary, from the moment I opened my wings for the first time after exit I knew I was going to be hooked.

    I borrow Tonto's BM Classic demo suit for the jumps. The first jump which include the two dummy touches went very well and I averaged a fall rate of 109.

    For the second jump Taz gave me a few pointer on body position. The second jump went even better, I played with my body position and managed to average a fall rate of 83.

    On third jump we were joined by Tonto who did some camera work, once again all went well and I managed an average fall rate of 79-80ish.

    The forth jump is were things got interesting Taz ask me if I'd like to join a five way folk. I grabbed the opportunity with both hands. I was told that I would lead and not to worry about the rest, just fly the pattern. What an assume jump, I think I am addicted.

    I just like to say thanks to Taz and Tonto for the help and the training!

    Cheers
    Newbie

  13. Actually you people have very little to complain about the price of gas in the US is much lower most other countries.

    Try R5,66 a litre

    litres -> US gallons | 1Litre = 0.2642 Gallons

    Rand -> Dollar | R6.50 +- = $1


    So always look on the bright side !
