  5. Larry, I almost wish I was back in Central Florida (until I saw "Dennis" and remembered my experience with three hurricanes last year) - I have a web site (It's free, no advertising mods!!!!!) called www.packingparachutes.com with full details of pro-packing a square. I also have a cd-rom available with some movie clips, but these are really aimed at beginners, and as a rigger, I feel sure you will do just fine with the instructions on the site. Feel free to pm me if you have any questions..... Peter (Sid) Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?

  8. Then you have obviously never seen "Bride of Chucky"... one of the best movies ever made. hhmmmm - excuse me - equalled by "Seed of Chucky" (and anything with Jen Tilly, sorry I digressed) - Seed of is SO funny, and yet has some really good horror moments (Poor Redman) Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?

    Land of the Dead

    There are a lot of great one liners and "gimme" scenes in this movie including a cameo from the "Shaun of the Dead" guys, how about that tuba playing zombie! Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?

    Land of the Dead

    ccowden:" How many more Zombie movies can they make?" sid:" As many as they like as long as they're as good as this one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Woo Hoo this movie rocks - George A Romero has done it again. Dennis Hopper is awesome and the movie kicks ass (what a splatterfest!)

  12. The bulletin is for Racers with single strand adjustable main lift webs. Not sure if they can be modified...doesn't say they can in the bulletin though. Just get a new Racer and there is no concern. Hope this helps... Absolutely correct - adjustable single strand MLW's - for that read old student rigs where the main lift webbing can be adjusted to fit each student. It is highly unlikely that you are being offered one of those. In the REALLY unlikely event that you are being offered an old student rig, they can, indeed, be modified to a pulley system but at a substantial cost. Check with Jumpshack on the price of a new harness container, you may be pleasantly suprised..

  21. when I see (or hear of) a reserve I've packed being used I don't consdier it a "save" - there's a quiet sense of satisfaction that I did my job properly, but the person using the rig saved their own life by pulling the right handles in the correct order. The best packed reserve in the world and the equipment maintained to the highest standards won't do a damned thing unless the jumper pulls the handles.......... I've always thought it a little egotistical to claim a "save" when you weren't under the actual canopy that malfunctioned (just my $0.02) Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?
