I need to go back through all my books and documents, but I remember reading about a 3 ring release system being used in the late 1920's, early 1930's to release instrument packages from weather balloons. It was later adopted to use on parachute risers. I'll see if I can find that reference later this evening. Jump Scars remind us that the past is real

We take their schoolhouse log book and transfer over the dates of the equivalent jumps to the A-card. It isn't so much an agreement, more than it is - the students DID the jumps for the A-license (plus a bunch) - we are just filling out the A card and doing an equipment familiarization jump with them.

I disagree Louis. This is not an acceptable outcome. This is going to have impacts beyond what they intended. "The road to Hell....." Scars remind us that the past is real

Sweet! Windmiller keeps telling me to "think turn" instead of turning... Sounds like a solution here!!! Scars remind us that the past is real

ASU successfully recruited and hired me. I must be nuts to go back to a uni but it IS in arizona. Start Jan 9th. Eloy peeps (Remi, Betsy, Kelly...) you have been warned. Blues, Jump Scars remind us that the past is real

+1 to that recommendation. He's like the Yoda of sewing machines.

We had a discussion about this several years ago (more than I care to mention). It can mean a bunch of things - have a good jump, build team spirit, etc. It could quite possibly be the last time you ever see or interact with that person. For me, it is my way of saying my peace, thanking you for jumping with me and letting everyone on the bird know I love them. Even if I hate your ass on the ground...

Was my first LP. I was very impressed by everything. I will definitely be back. It was an awesome experience. Not sure about paddling two miles on the lake at two in the morning again though... Scars remind us that the past is real

T-minus 14 hours to start the drive. See you all there. Jump Scars remind us that the past is real

High 30s is the lowest I've seen it, but as Ed said, generally mid-high 40s overnight. Last year wasn't so bad cold-wise while we were there, but I think the fact that it was cloudy/rainy a lot kept the temps more moderate. I'll take more sun and colder nights! Whew - okay. I was thinking I needed to dig out the -80 crap. Not easy to do when its 102 here. Will start driving soon! Scars remind us that the past is real

I feel so much better now ... O hang on - just how cold are we talking about? below freezing? 40s? Any tips are greatly appreciated :) Scars remind us that the past is real

YAY!!! Come visit us in Byranada!

F**K it. Been talking about this forever. This is the year I go. See you at the prairie.

Me too. One post and done! I'm proud of myself. And I remember all of you bad influences. Amazon: I am no longer a professor! I RESIGNED! Haven't had a headache since I quit. Jumping/rigging full time and enjoying life. See you guys on a DZ somewhere! Jump Scars remind us that the past is real

....(guess teh alcohol is kicking in again) and that f****** man whore glory thread is STILLL alive?? the more things change the more they stay the same. Who still here???

I'm not sure if that's funny at all. Pond swooping a tandem? A Golden Knight, who as far as I know only does high-profile promotional jumps, is attempting to pond swoop a tandem? In front of, what I can only assume, is a crowd of some sort? If the pax was an experienced jumper and willing participant in a 'stunt' at a DZ for fun, then it is funny and cool all at the same time. If this was business as ususal for the GKs, then it's not funny. I didn't see US Army anywhere in that video... Scars remind us that the past is real

Lesson for all jumpers using packers. Stow your brakes! Not only will it result in a faster pack job - you make sure they are set correctly. Scars remind us that the past is real

So the next question is - why did someone else stow the brakes wrong? Scars remind us that the past is real
