I was amazed too Jimmy. I was jumping Tim Eason's Firebolt 396, and had already had 2 great, soft, snivelly openings...... then BAM! knocked me (even more) senseless......... Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?

Oh that's easy, just get a riser to slap it off your head Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?

What an awesome audible! This thing has multiple banks of settings.... I tried it out yesterday and had it set for tandems and solo jumping, you just switch warning banks and off you go.... a nice feature is the Lo-Speed settings which I guess were designed for swoopers but work really well for tandems too. I had the first Lo-speed beep set for 1000 ft and it's a nice little reminder to start getting serious about the landing. AND as the riser slapped it off the side of my helmet on a hard opening it looked really elegant as it flew by the canopy but trust me, for the 4 jumps that I actually got to use it - it was awesome......

you got it right Bobbi - just no "..." it's spelt ASS Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?

Yes we do! We have double cutaway rigs and usually the front mounted reserve is a round. Initial tests are usually drop tests with a dummy if there are major design changes. Otherwise we just go out and test'em. Adds a whole new element to the sport.... Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?

Walt, it's really well done. It's not just comedian after comedian telling "the joke" they disect it, analyze it, explain why they embellish it and, believe it or not, Billy The Mime does a version that is hilarious (even funnier are the facial expressions of pedestrians passing by). Then, all the family favorites, Bob Saget, Jason Alexander, Whoopi Goldberg, The Smothers Brothers, Drew Cary, just retelling and rehashing their own versions in their own style, but with language you never heard them use on tv before!

Just bought and watched the DVD.... Holy Crap! I will never watch Bob Saget on tv again without thinking of him telling HIS version of the joke! The movie/documentary is so funny and the dvd extras are worth the price alone! **Warning** This dvd is filthy don't watch it near the kids or nervous/prudish folk.

I've taken 2 people over 6'5" - both out of a 207. Tight as hell, but it can be done. they HAVE to get those legs up for landing and as I'm 5'7" I didn't even try standing them up. Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?

okay - I clicked forehead, BUT I have my hands in that general area, sometimes I hold nothing, sometimes I just pull'em in close, sometimes I wrap'em up like a christmas gift, depends on what I feel needs to be done. No hard and fast rule. The only one I won't grab is breasts. When I loosen the chest strap I ask them to put my hand on the buckle and I am VERY careful. ps: all three tandems I did today, when I said I was going to loosen the chest strap after opening said "Are you sure??????????"

I do tandems with a Gath, it's a good audible holder, nothing else....... it wuld afford very little protection. Basically it's a kayaking helmet. Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?

I got my rating on Vectors, and cross trained when I got back to Florida. I've been doing a few tandems here and there for Art at Palatka to stay current and I have to tell you, I LOVE the Racer tandem. It's no secret that I work for them occassionally, but I choose to do that because I like their product. I'm taking a Racer Tandem and Firebolt 350 back with me this year. The 350 performs really well, my last student/passenger on Saturday wanted no part of flying the canopy and it was so easy to fly and flare on my own.
