They better stop selling canopies then. Every new canopy that comes through our loft, I measure all the lines and record it - (trick I learned from a smart master rigger) and soon I will have my own line trim charts

I'm a rigger, I will do the same amount of work. I do it because I love to do it and want to keep skydivers safe, not because I need the money.

walk a mile in our shoes dude. what it really comes down to is that it is almost a requirement to have a crusaders attitude if you are going to make a difference. If you are there for a paycheck like most people are with jobs - it sucks. And crusaders can only take so much Scars remind us that the past is real

that was an 11 way dude! SOMEONE would have made it 12.... Edit to add: Oh yeah 9 jumps Scars remind us that the past is real

I didn't see where you got chastised - but people read things differently.

I disagree. He is there to teach algebra. If he is hypothetically faced with a classroom of students who do not have the knowledge base to advance to algebra, how can he successfully teach them algebra? I'm not saying this is the case, just showing that there are other possibilities besides him being a crappy teacher. that was the reason I asked my questions because this is something I face every day (drives me to drinking it does). I teach college physics, chemistry and Earth/Space science. But the incoming freshmen are so ill prepaired, I spend my time teaching basic arithematic, algebra, and how many seconds in a minute A lot of times the students are apathetic and ambivilent and the most wonderful teacher in the world will fall on their face. Then you end up with a situation with a jaded teacher, apathetic students and parents that just bitch - leaving everyone out in the cold. I guess the only advice I would give in this situation is to be proactive - suggest setting up tutoring sessions for the students after school, host study groups, bring in outside help. The most common response to that is "But that is the schools job" to which I respond "your childs education is YOUR responsibility - get involved. If the school/teacher is falling down on the job - do something!" You can bitch and vent on dz.com all day - doesn't help the problem. And it is a problem that should scare the shit out of everyone one of us. Scars remind us that the past is real

I know there was a mod for the triathlon but this is the first I've heard of a brake line mod for the diablo. I've got a Diablo 190 that I am getting ready to reline - I like the way it flys and flares now so I wonder what the mod will do. Anyone have any first hand comments on the flight difference pre/post mod? Scars remind us that the past is real
