  1. I found a video of rushmc answering a question. https://youtu.be/UO8TlpOlyoE?t=30s
  2. Don't try it. You need to be on a high performance canopy and have a lot of canopy time. If it's done wrong you can gift wrap yourself and become a present for the ground.
  3. This thread is about bridal to bag, not bridal to canopy.
  4. Ya. That's it. Oh hey you can see my comments. If that isn’t it, why don’t you ever anyswer my questions or address my comments? Here is an easy one. Do you believe the muller investigation should run until it is concluded?
  5. I think Rush just blocked me out like he does with all other information that hurts his brain. I guess he just cant handle someone that's smarter and more informed than himself.
  6. Note: If you understand Russian and listened to Putin's actual words, he only said that he wanted Trump to win. I was confused at first by the translation, but then I listened to what Putin actually said. What did Putin Actually say?
  7. hey rushmc why don’t you act like a patriot? why are you betraying the United States? Why do you back someone that is destroying America’s presence on the world stage? Did that get your attention? How do you feel about putin admitting that he wanted trump to win and admitting that he directed his people to make that happen?
  8. You may want to revisit that claim. in any event, none of them have been charged for anything related to Russia so-called collusion. But don't let that stop you from keeping your wet dream going Why don't you ever address my comments?
  9. Agree with all of the above except the SkySnatch. I get the "deploy as fast a possible" in the BASE environment, but it doesn't make as much sense in the sky. I wouldn't characterize the SkySnatch as "bad" but it is "unnecessary" and has a couple drawbacks. 1- It is $200, basically double the price of most other kill-line PCs, and 3x the price of the cheapo ones. 2- Harder on gear, faster/harder extraction = more force being transmitted into everything from the PCA to the risers, it might even mean less life in the PC's ZP itself. Fine for BASE because 100ft might be life vs. death, but that isn't the case in the sky unless you're already in a pickle (should probably go straight to reserve) or you do something stupid (pulling dirty low or jump a huge suit with a 6' bridle). 3- It makes some assumptions that a faster/harder extraction is more stable, in a free packed BASE main with a tail pocket and a BASE container that basically completely comes apart on deployment (compared to a sky container) ok sure, that might be true. But when extracting a d-bag with line stows (even semi-stowless) from a container that is more restrictive, maybe not, fast and violent might mean more chaotic and more force thrown into a rotation of the bag. I do appreciate the wind tunnel stuff and comparison vids SQ made, but they are non-empirical/leave out a ton of variables and are relatively anecdotal. I've also seen plenty of back facing vid (mine included) with significant PC oscillation and a completely straight extraction with completely symmetrical inflation, PC oscillation does not = unstable extraction with a main that is in a d-bag. Case in point, CRW and swoopers haven't jumped on it (figuratively speaking), and their deployments are arguably less stable / more nuanced than WS ones, if it was a significant improvement, they would have switched over. 4- It packs big, again not a problem with BASE BOC's but sky BOC's are a good bit tighter. And there are no options for handles other than their cf tube and no tuck tab if you're into those. Again, it's not a bad thing, just unnecessary in the sky. You shouldn't be getting harder openings. I have the 30" on my 7 cell 150 and I get great openings every time. I'm sure I am not the only one that has rear facing footage that can compare an old PC to a skysnatch. The skysnatch is cleaner.
  10. The truth being that the FBI thought a Russian spy was working for the Trump campaign as a foreign policy adviser? Even more accurately, Page said he was not a spy, only in informal advisor to the Russian government. Not even close. And we now know that by the release regarding the fisa documents and warrants that were released today! it's slipping away you left these. You're not going to get drunk. He won the election fair and square and Russia had not a damn thing to do with it despite your most viral hopes. Clearly you, again didn't read the document you are talking about. I'll attach a picture for you. Make it really easy. Russia had nothing to do with it? Since you likely wont read anything, I'll attach a moving picture for you! http://video.foxnews.com/v/5785700473001/?#sp=show-clips

  12. What I find interesting here Bill is that if I had asked the same of somebody in the same way in this thread you would have threatened me with a ban. IMO I just wanted to make sure we weren't ganging up on someone that was bipolar. I used to work in mental health and your comments often display hints of schizophasia.
  13. Do any of you know Rush in real life? Is he, mentally stable?
  14. I see your point about Trump's comments. But it ain't worth the bullshit that he's getting on the media and every place else today. Could have handled it better? Absolutely. But he is not a politician now is he! So you can take your point and do whatever you want with it but he still my president needs the best that I've seen in a long time He isn't a politician... he is literally the president.
  15. It's called dodging and spinning. There is no point in this. Let these extremists get stuffed back into the hole they crawled out of after trumps racism/sexism/ bigotry opened it up.
  16. You are vastly underestimating what goes into transitioning genders far enough to meet legal requirements.
  17. All modern containers use quality stitching. Your comment tells me that you are definitely not a rigger. The real differences are much more subtle and involve small details of both construction and design. Until you have spent some years closely inspecting rigs of many different makes you will not appreciate the differences in build. It is true that there are only a few basic designs that cover most containers. But the patterns are far from the same none the less. With that being said, there are no poorly built rigs being made these days as far as I've seen. But different makes have different strengths and weaknesses. Agreeed, I meant that an average jumper should be able to go through there rig and notice if it has crap bartacks, shitty stitch tension, or bad binding. No modern rig should fail structurvitally or simply fall apart due to poor quality.
  18. It doesn't take a riggers ticket to look at stitching and tell if its quality or not. Especially when all the rigs basically use the same patterns.
  19. The argument I have seen is that the rpc should be strong enough to right the jumper. Which is ridiculous.
  20. You seem to have forgotten Obama telling Putin he would have more latitude after the second election when he got caught on an open mic What’s the relevance?
  21. Being slow and flaoty isn't the best way to wingsuit. Power comes from speed.
  22. How small is that dudes canopy? Also, the basically fallacy the everyone would become female has been disproven so many times. People aren’t going to start taking esterogen for years/get their license changed just so they can compete in a different skydiving class.
  23. I feel like rush ignores things that are too complicated for him. Probably why he continues to ignore my comments. Hey rush, what do you think about this? > HOUSE REPUBLICANS SHOULD PASS THE STRONG BUT FAIR IMMIGRATION BILL, KNOWN AS GOODLATTE II, IN THEIR AFTERNOON VOTE TODAY, EVEN THOUGH THE DEMS WON’T LET IT PASS IN THE SENATE. PASSAGE WILL SHOW THAT WE WANT STRONG BORDERS & SECURITY WHILE THE DEMS WANT OPEN BORDERS = CRIME. WIN! > I never pushed the Republicans in the House to vote for the Immigration Bill, either GOODLATTE 1 or 2, because it could never have gotten enough Democrats as long as there is the 60 vote threshold. I released many prior to the vote knowing we need more Republicans to win in Nov.
  24. Yo rush, how do you explain this? > HOUSE REPUBLICANS SHOULD PASS THE STRONG BUT FAIR IMMIGRATION BILL, KNOWN AS GOODLATTE II, IN THEIR AFTERNOON VOTE TODAY, EVEN THOUGH THE DEMS WON’T LET IT PASS IN THE SENATE. PASSAGE WILL SHOW THAT WE WANT STRONG BORDERS & SECURITY WHILE THE DEMS WANT OPEN BORDERS = CRIME. WIN! > I never pushed the Republicans in the House to vote for the Immigration Bill, either GOODLATTE 1 or 2, because it could never have gotten enough Democrats as long as there is the 60 vote threshold.
