Sad news. He was a real nice guy.

Fuck any one who gives you shit for being honest and fuck those who are more concerned with how they look than they are about sharing info that might save some ones life. Good job man. Glad your able to talk about it and be pround that your man enough to talk about it. Those who claim to be perfect are the most flawed.

Many people count when taking small delays and many others gauge it by sight. This however takes practice and is only learned through experience. When taking larger delays counting doesn't work very well. The tendency to loose track of your count is too high with all the visual stimuli going on around you. Looking is better for long delays. So, how does a new jumper know when to pull when taking a long delay? Trail and error. Most newer jumpers will take too short of a delay when they are able to take longer ones. This is O.K. Better to work your way down rather than hummit with out intending to

All depends on available altitude. Best bet is not blow it in the first place. When I teach new jumpers I always mention that their bodies will follow where they are looking. In other words if, you look at the ground while you are exiting, then there is very high probability that you will go head down. Instead, I suggest that when learning the muscle memory of a proper exit, always look at the horizon until you have pitched. This greatly reduces your chances of over rotating and going head down. Once a student has that down then they can start practicing exiting while looking at the ground

Something very similar happened to the 2000' tower in Aliance NB. Workers were changing out one of the cross pieces and failed to properly support the area they were working on. They pulled the piece out and down the tower came with three men on it. A tragedy for the families of the men who perished and a sad day for jumpers as well

I think that closest to that mix would be the hiena(SP). While they look kind of like dogs they are actually closer related to cats. Just saw that on NGC last night

Yea but did the chocolate labs taste like chocolate? Heres a pic of my baby and my buddy They both love pie

You will be judged by the work you do. It is the only reference other riggers will have to go from when they open your work and form an opinion about you. If your work sucks, you suck. Always strive to develop your skills to the point that your work is immaculate. When sewing, attempt the invisible repair. In other words try to make all repairs so clean and precise that no one can even tell the repair was done or that it looks like the manufacture did it. It is not always possible, but if you approach every job that way your work will kick ass. Learn from every one. Even the idiots cause remember No man is completely worthless for they can always serve as a bad example. Good luck

It could also be called stupidity... . No argument there. I have met my share of dumb dogs. It has occured to me that this thread is sounding more and more like something you might find in SC. I for one have sworn off SC and I feel that I must now swear off this thread. Think I'll go have some pie. K

Probably a raccoon then, not a cat. _____________________________________________ I believe it was a person, not a raccoon or a cat Dogs will attemp to bring down a firetruck for reasons that escape me. Its called loyalty. Check it out

One night around 3:00am while my wife and I were sleeping, my rottie got up and started barking like something was in the back yard. She bolted from the bed room and straight out the doggie door. As soon as she went through the door, the rottie began making the most blood curdeling snarl sound that I have ever heard. Clearly she was doing battle with what ever or who ever was out there. As I lay there, my wife asked "aren't you going to go see what thats all about" to which I replied "what for? The dogs got it handeled and I'm sure that what ever is out there is desperately trying to leave." In the morning I found lots of blood by the back gate and we have had no surprise visits since. Let see your ferocious cat do that.

I am perfectly willing to admit that I lack the cat loving gene but clearly cats lack the Kevin loving gene. I have lived with 4 cats in my day and all acted the same way. They'd Approach looking of attention and once they got their fill, they'd bite or scratch with out warning. I have never in my life abused a cat nor will I ever but they have abused me. Question. How many lives have been saved by search and rescue cats? Dogs rule

Agreed 100%

so by this rational, its cool to kill cats that stray into my yard. Is that correct? I would never kill a cat and my dogs are far to slow to ever catch one. I am willing to allow cats to be cats but they must do it somewhere else other than my yard.

My dogs are great for keeping the cat population down in my yard. I've given them the green light and told them its open season on cats with no limit. Fucking cats. I don't get them. Why would anyone want to care for an animal that doesn't return the favor, and provides absolutely nothing in the way of protection to the home and property? Can some one please explain that to me? Dogs are mans best friend. The hunt, they protect, the give honest loving companionship. Cats on the other hand have little to no utility beyond hunting mice and I can do that with a mouse trap

You forgot to mention that computers will one day enslave humanity and attempt to wipe us from the face of the planet

Living in the South west U.S, 90% of our objects are cliffs and jumping them in winds is an extremely bad idea. I don't usually jump in winds unless I'm on some big stick and the winds are straight between the wires. Seeing as how we have virtually no big sticks in this area jumping is winds never really happens. I even call it at the potato if the winds are high. It tends to make landings rougher than necessary. I just don't need to jump that bad to risk it. But, to each his own

This statement is interesting but I have over 800 jumps on the multi and I have not had repeated heading issues as a result of its use. In fact my openings for years have been disturbingly consistent and by that I mean on heading. The delay you mention regarding the extraction time of the bridle is most likely caused by over wrapping the rubber bands around the multi bridle or using rubber bands that are too stout for the job. This may account for the delay you saw on video. In all the years I have used the multi, I have not found that this bridle "delay"(if I actually ever experienced it) ever resulted in significantly lower or unsafe opening altitudes. I have always felt and still do today that the multi works just as advertised and is well worth the added expense. Just in case your wondering, No I'm not sponsored by Apex but for years I have been sponsored by Bomb Proof Rigging

God how I love such refreashing honesty. Good on ya. I've got the best picture in my head now.

Now why'd you have to go there? I dunno, a lot of times it seems that a guy gets squimish with this kind of thing because they automatically think "omg gay gay GAY!" *shurg* There's nothing gay about experimenting with your partner and having a good time, unless of course, you're both guys. If by chance I get arouse by some else say...sucking my big toe, I dont get all hung up about weather or not I may be a foot freak. I just go with it. Same applies to the rest of my body

amen to that

I'd forgotten that one. I love it

One day the queen of England is paying a visit to a local hospital and getting the grand tour from the Hospitals head of administration. While walking down the hall, the Queen peers into one of the rooms and is shocked to see a man feverishly masturbating. Her tour guide quickly explained that the man has a rare condition where his testicles produce sperm at such a rapid rate that if the pressure is not removed then his testicles will rupture. "Oh dear" replied the queen "that poor man" and continued on her tour. A while later, the queen and her tour guide had moved to another floor when the Queen peered into another room and saw a nurse giving oral pleasure to one of the patients. Appalled, the queen demanded an explanation to which the her guide asked. "Do you remember that poor chap down stairs suffering from over productive testicles? "yes" replied the queen. "Well" replied the guide "Same problem, better HMO"
