Dont you mean the Arc De Triumphe of Hell?

Yeah, who woulda thought teal could be so ugly eh? I guess thats why its one of the ones on sale for $30.00 at Paragear. If you check this pic of my rig you will see how nicely the helmet now matches. Its not an exact match, but hey, its a damn sight closer than the teal CLICKY

Whats with this "really and truely free" junk?? Free of what? Free of being NOT head down? What does that mean?? If you regularly attempt non-traditional positions, you are freeflying, therefore you are a freeflyer. Just like when I started skydiving I became a skydiver. I wasnt a GOOD one, of course. Still not a good one! I'm a skydiver though, cuz I skydive. I dont have to be proficient in all diciplines of skydiving to call myself a skydiver. You dont have to be proficient in all the positions of freeflying to call yourself a freeflyer. We are NEVER truely free in this life

I played for a while. Got a ranger to level 54, then got totally bored and quit. My son is so rediculously obsessed with it that I'm about ready to ban it. Now I think EQ should be taken out back and shot.

I hate it when I'm on a load and I discover that, rather than the door I was expecting, the aircraft is instead equipped with the Maw of Hell.

I'm not better off. I do have a new rig though and I'm jumping a lot but that has nothing to do with Bush one way or the other.

the best advice I can give is to be very patient. LEt things dry before moving on to further coats etc.... This one took a couple weeks to do allowing 48 hours of drying time for each coat. BTW, to give credit where credit is due, it was Sunnydee123 painting hers that inspired me to take a shot at it. I'm pleased with the results. Grand total spent on this helmet, $42.00

thoroughly sanded the surface to rough it up (400 grit), prime it 2 coats of gloss black enamel mask the colored areas and painted them with a brush let it all dry thoroughtly 4 coats clear gloss laquer

Pro-tec helmets are arguably the strongest, safest helmets out there. They are also the most affordable. Unfortunately they are also the least attractive. You can fix that somewhat by painting your own. I paid $30.00 for this helmet and $12.00 for the supplies. Before and After pics Sorta the best of both worlds The finished product has a very high gloss translucent finish that doesnt come across in these pis, unfortunately...

Mmmm. Thanks for the reply Nightingale. I take one week off lifting every 3-4 months. I think I'll wait till then to think about donating blood. I dont relish the idea of getting dizzy while hoisting 6 full wheels.

Anyone ever donate blood while in a period of high intensity physical training? I do 90 min cardio 7 days a week and heavy weight training on a 6 day rotation. My gut tells me that donating blood right now would not be a good idea but I've never actually heard anyone say it for certain one way or the other. Thoughts?

Yechnology scares me

I go through some moments like that every time I go to the DZ. Its getting a lot better though. Now I usually only experience that feeling while I'm on my first load of any given day. I ask myself "Do I really want to be doing this?" I feel nervous, heart pounding, etc. After that first jump, though, I'm raring to go again and after I head home all I can think about is "When can I get back there again?" It's normal

Playin my guitar

Someone pregnant?

I wonder how many cutaways he has... If we assume 1 per 500 jumps that would be 68! . 1 per 1000 would be 34... . Good question. I'll see if I can get that info

Ack!

Well? Which one?

Think the rain will get the rhubarb wet?

We can all tell! Ah ha! Yet another shot taken at me from yet another new anonymous account with no personal info. I dont need any particular number of jumps or skydiving skill to recognise you for what you are. Oh and learn to spell will you please?

I almost have dead last sewn up with 72 jumps I'm NOT dead last but since you have 108 listed I'm obviously CREAMING you for least jumps! I think I've been beat out for the spot though. I heard that something like 6 billion people have 0 jumps.

Its Don Kellner for most jumps with over 34,000 currently. Its somewhere in there. I asked him his latest total a couple months ago and he said "34,000". I think that will be his answer until he hits 35,000. At this point I dont think the hundreds in between are worth mentioning I dont know who has the freefall time record.

What about oral hygiene??!?

AND MINE WASNT???! Sorry, I'm just yankin yer chain at this point. Strange as it sounds, even though you are an athiest and I'm not, we seem to be pretty much in agreement

I'll have to sit out the beer events Its the jumping events that I'll be there for. Like...jumping
