  3. We are all exceptional we have the magic that makes the averages only apply to the other person. Not to me. Avgjoe Hook it for safety
  4. In order to survive in this sport you should learn from a survivor. How does one find out who the survivors are? I know they are still out there jumping but are they approachable? Are the survivors making any effort to share there knowledge or are they just sitting back with their beer watching new people learn the hard lessons they themselves learned it (the hard way). Do you bother to approch jumpers because you can say No need to get to know them they won't be here long enough to warrant my attention. I suspect it gets harder to approach young jumpers every time you get rebuffed and laughed at becauce you are just not as cool as the newer jumpers. Sort of a catch 22. Laughed at if you try to help, but you beat yourself up because you saw this coming and did nothing to stop it. When one of you figures it out let us know. Avgjoe Hook it for Safety

  9. No you are not fat. You are doing the classic poor man's downsizing. It is an acceptable and cheaper way to get a faster canopy.
  10. 4. So, if you want to reline a main canopy without being a master rigger or the manufacturer, you'd better do it while the wording of the FAR's says you may do so. Quote So If I intend to jump the parachute next I can alter it all I want. So I can offer alterations with no qualifications put one test jump on it then give it back and stay with in the regs. Is a reline an alteration when you are replacing like with like? Avgjoe Hook it for safety

    small rip

    Someone told me you should put marks on the boxes around it to see if it grows or not is this a good idea? Avgjoe Hook it for safety Bon Gustos(trainee)
  12. The "Sure That's Acceptable" person
  13. Add Cal city if you don't want to go over grapevine. Madera if you stay on 99 after Lodi. Depending on how long you want to take you could hit 6 dz's on the way. Avgjoe Hook it for Safety
  14. From the amount of posts on the subject I think abstinence it the most prevalant. Not sure if it is personal choice or decided by those around them but it seems to be a constant theme. Avgjoe Hook it for safety
  15. It is probably red but blood washes out. It depends on where the paramedics cut the harness. I figure if you only want the canopies anyway you could get a good deal. Avgjoe Hook it for safety
  16. Jumpers should know about all there gear and it's limitations not just the rsl.
  17. I didn't know there was a skydiver in the village people. Avgjoe Hook it for safety
  18. People not understanding the loft has hours(M-F 8-5) Just because the rigger is on the dz doesn't mean the rigger is on duty and available for work. Avgjoe Hook it for Safety
  19. What exactly would a greenie smell like? Avgjoe tourist in training hook it for safety
  20. I was told riggers clean the cutaway cables but do they the run any thing threw the hard housings in an attempt to clean them. What could be inside the hard housings? Also is this the second big service bulletin to address sloppy rigging? Are the gear makers questioning the skill riggers across the board or just covering there a$$? Avgjoe hook it for safety

    No, pop thinks he is the pope. avgjoe hook it for safety
  22. Depends if you are instructing(SL,IAD,AFF) or hauling meat? It should be. If all your DZ time is dedicated to teaching then why not call it a discipline. Avgjoe Hook it for safety
  23. I heard a rumor they could be made as well. I suspect if you get ahold of trident they can make you a reflex. Avgjoe Hook it for safety
