Demoed the Cookie G2 last week in good conditions: bugger fogged up; took it back to the demo-stall, guy cleaned it, put some antifog on the lens, fogged up again in the air. sorry, no cookie for me edit for not being only negative: fit was really nice and snug and I think cookie has come up with a good solution for the lens-hinges. opens and closes really easy. so maybe its a perfect helmet for tunnel flying The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle dudeist skydiver # 666

don't get me wrong, but i'd rather get stolen from than having a bunch of cameras watching my each and every step at the dz... theres more than enough of bigbrothercams hanging around in the cities, on motorways, bars, airports, the tube, you name it, you'll find it The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle dudeist skydiver # 666

yep, these we my two GoPros that got feet.... DZ-staff was (and is) totally embarassed that this thing happened during the vector festival... guess it was some kind of an organised outside-job. problem is: we simply don't think about this happening, because lots of times we tell some freinds to get some stuff from our bags/places and hardly anybody gets suspicious when somebody gets stuff from bags etc cause it might be somebody elses buddy apart from the moneything it sucked bigtime cause lots of people got paranoid afterwards... bad karma to the person who stole from us. may your private parts dry out permanently The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle dudeist skydiver # 666

What was once a great place to be turned into an unfriendly tandem-factory some time ago. As a solo jumper or even a team you are definitely not welcome. If you want to get on a load you'd better be at the manifest at 8 in the morning and fix all your slots for the day - otherwise you don't have a chance to get into the air I really miss the goods vibes from when I first went there, + the location was great - but if they don't cater to the needs of solo jumpers there's tons of other Czech places to go

great summary but I'm missing one point: many posters completely miss the fact, that there is obligation whatsoever to post anything in the incidents forum and thus fall into tantrums when nobody wants to share info... my 0,2s: that alone keeps many people from posting anything there. me included.

DING! we have a winner

and i bet that quite a portion of the 850000 having access to topsecret material are rather fed up with the u.s. government for one reason or another.... The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle dudeist skydiver # 666

in a german news article it was stated, that the majority of the info wikileaks is spreading comes from within the u.s. or to be more precise from the "Secret Internet Protocol Router Networks (SIPRNet)" that was established in the beginning of the 1990ies. some 2,5 million people from government and military have access to this network and material labeled top secret is available for approx 850.000 americans. (numbers quoted from the article). so who do you want to take out and where would you like to start?

hi all thanks for your answers so far. i'll start from the last question @airathanas: canopy was a nitro 135 with approx. 700 jumps. it has HMA lines in really good condition - and these lines don't shrink. @wildfan75: Canopy wasn't spinning radically - so I messed around getting out of the twists far to long - with the last 2 twists spinnimg started to get ugly, so i chopped - i guess that also answers terry urbans question @davelepka: and that is exactly why I posted the question. if you PM me with an email where I can send larger pics, I will but maybe I'm just a fuddyduddy and I'm seeing stuff where there isn't anything to see The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle dudeist skydiver # 666

that was after a successfull bigway after 20 secs of tracking - so maybe i didn't bleed off all speed before deployment if that answers your question The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle dudeist skydiver # 666

I had this rather interesting version of a linetwist last week - and I have no fucking clue as to how I got into that one. if anybody can make an educated guess why even the risers are all twisted up please share. and before any smartass comes up with a linecheck when packing: this is a standard procedure I never miss for the detail-freaks: main (was) a nitro 135 @ 1,3 WL - now its rotting somewhere in the woods. chopped and landed my pd-reserve without further problems The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle dudeist skydiver # 666

and i thought dudeist skydivers association was weird no, honestly: as soon as i have my first nude jump, i'll become a member. i'm always for crazy stuff just for shits'n'giggles

how to find inner peace I am passing this on to you because it definitely worked for me and we all could use more calm in our lives. By following the simple advice I heard on a medical t.v. show, I have found inner peace. It's true. A doctor proclaimed the way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you have started. So I looked around my house to see things I'd started and hadn't finished and, before leaving the house this morning, I finished off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of shhardonay, a bodle of Baileys, a butle of vocka, a pockage of Punglies, that mainder of bot Prozic and Alum scriptins, the res of the Chesescke an a box of choclits.

irish joke # 217 An Irishman, an Englishman and a Scotsman were sitting in a bar in Sydney, Australia. "The view is fantastic, the beer excellent, and the food exceptional," said the Scotsman, "but I still prefer the pubs back home. Why? In Glasgow there's a little bar call McTavish's. Now the landlord there goes out of his way for the locals so much that, when you buy four drinks, he'll buy the fifth drink for you." "Well," said the Englishman, "at my pub, the Red Lion, the barman there will buy you your third drink after you had the first two." "Ahhh, that's nothin' ", said the Irishman. "Back home in Dublin there's Ryan's Bar. Now the moment you set foot in the place they'll buy you a drink, then another, all the drinks you like. Then, when you've had enough drink, they'll take you upstairs and see that you get laid; all on the house." The Englishman and Scotsman immediately pour scorn on the Irishman's claims. He swears every word is true. "Well," said the Englishman, "did this actually happen to you?" "Not meself personally, no," said the Irishman, "but it did happen to me sister."
