I weigh/fall a lot faster than you-and yup I started kinda balling up and ducking my head after I felt the d bag bouncing off my heels.....now no prob,

Tracking/atmo certification?
Not just no but no fucking way.........

This is why Zimmerman is a "white Hispanic." Much like the President is a "White African American."

ROFLMAO!
Yea, our president the half white guy!!!!

Anyone?
OK, has anyone sent their SM1 back and had the Sbird update done-what did you think-worth it? Differences?
Anyone gone from an SM1 to an Xbird?
Thanks for any replies/help with the decision!

Background-limited funds so whatever I go with is it for a number of years.
Mostly do small flocks, but like to have range to pop back up.
230 out the door. So low 50's is about it for me now and would really like to be able to fly low 40's consistently to be able to stay up there with the light flyers.
Currently a couple hundred jumps on my SM1 after starting on an aerobat.
Considering sending the SM1 back for the S bird wings, or just pop the xtra money for an X bird.
Opinions on the best bang for the buck?
Would the Sbird upgrade be that big a diff over the SM1?
Diff from that to the X?

Some folks in central FL are expecting race riot violence if GZ is found not guilty. The jury is about to go into deliberations.

FL will have to print up their own shirts!

I've seen more than one person who realized and acknowleged that it is a risk sport-unlike those that say it's more dangerous on the drive to the dz.
They honestly assessed their family/financial situations and made the decision that they could not continue-sometimes after a minor landing injury. Some will come back later.
I respect their decisions and would never look down at them for it.

From what I've heard about the mach1 while in an actual discussion about the Colugo, is that the Colugo is much easier to fly then the mach. This is second hand info though.

Thank you!!!
I'm at the point that I can afford a new WS, but whatever I get I'll be flyin for a long time so would like to get one I won't regret or be disappointed with.

***Any comparisons to TS SM1 yet?
Had to attach a pic of the original Colugo.....awesome little fliers!

You can't really compare those two suits because the SM1 is an old design that doesn't have nearly the same amount of surface area. The closest thing you can compare it to is the Apache or the Viper.

Yes I realize I'm still flyin my old SM1....kids in college tend to limit your fun dollars!
I would like to know if anyone could give me an idea of the difference it would be from my old SM1. I just can't buy a new suit every 6 months when a new one comes out!

Same here-just under 1.3 on a 170.
I was going to downsize a while ago-however one day with a lot of canopy traffic and shifting winds(and yes better planning would have helped!) I found myself stuck with a downwinder.
I rolled my ass off and walked away just covered in dust-and decided right then I'm never going below a 170!
So think about those less than ideal landings when you want to downsize.....

I'm a long way from being the most likely person on any given DZ to kill your friends just because of jump numbers and the canopy I'm flying


Do you only do hop and pops with no one else in the air with you?????????????

Interesting. So he will refuse to confiscate guns from convicted murderers? Will be interesting to see how long he keeps his job.

Where did you see that in their letter?

So how many others have the balls to say no to enforcing unconstitutional executive order laws?

like I said earlier... someone decided this guy was never going to see a judge and jury

No...HE decided that.

Cop killers don't have an old timers reunion, he knew the drill.

Exactly

And all the clueless fuck monday morning quarterbacks-sure as hell didn't see you volunteering to go in the cabin and talk him out.
Just hope hell is hotter than that cabin was......

Now it is about time for the straw master kallend to ask why we all want loonies and fellons to get guns

Uh oh!!!
You called Kallend a name!
You might get banned!

And he's back in the air-GO NICK!!!!!!

You can call the words stupid or troll-like, but you can't call the poster stupid or a troll.

Just don't call people by names other than their own.

I venture into SC on occasion to take a look at the current opinions of fellow skydivers.
I believe that most everyones beliefs and positions are formed from their experiences in life, whether it be day to day or a particular traumatic incident.
So I was honestly trying to ascertain where Kallends beliefs originate-actually try to understand the other side.
And then there are folk that just have an unfounded phobia.
However the responses have been "troll like" (is that acceptable??)
Also posters have outright been called trolls in here and other forums before. I've personally called out trolls before-and never been threatened with a ban over it.
So to me at least, it appears that the claims made by some folk of bias by the mods appears to be true.
So over and out for me-and the people that have unfounded phobias and no common sense-good day to you.
And that is not meant as name calling of anybody in particular-but if the shoe fits.....so be it.

Hey go away troll

You WILL stop calling people names or you WILL be banned.
This is not a warning. This is policy.

Huh??? didn't know that was such a bad word OMG!
I was honestly trying to elicit a real discussion-but obviously pretty useless with some folk.
Fine I'm outa this useless drivel.....

OK, what's my reading assignment

Just look up some facts BEFORE spouting off on things you apparently know nothing about.

You really can't give an honest answer-just smart ass replies....
So I won't give any smart ass replies back.
yup you're just a troll
I don't feed trolls....

Apparently you can't handle the truth.

Hey go away troll

Also I still really would like to get a grasp on how you think....
Would you please address the comparison between AAD/rsl/reserves and weapons? So if they don't always work then we shouldn't bother with them?????

Kallend-you've ignored my question-I was hoping you'd try to give me an honest answer.....
I'm beginning to think you're just out to stir people up/a troll?????

Which particular question was that?

I charge $250/hour to answer stupid questions.
Hey, go away you...
There is that better?????
