  1. I like Quade's "ass presentation" the best I think. You could show examples, have graphs, charts, and most importantly pictures. Perhaps, depending on how buzy your dz's skydivers are, you could bring in a few hotties to strut the benefits of a good arch. I know I'd give you good marks.

    This Is Funny!

    Damn, I got a pop up thing after I opened it the first time and it was stickers and stuff with anti war slogans, I thought THAT was what you posted. I'm going to try and hunt that down...there was funny stuff there. edit to add http://www.democracymeansyou.com/purchase/order.htm found it S.E.X. party #1 "Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "f*#k, what a ride".
  4. Good call...and male or female, if you plan to spend a great deal of time in the sport, you'll need those pipes to carry the cases and cases of beer you're gonna owe the dropzone. edit to add: More for cardio, you're gonna need to run fast and hard to get away from pieings too. More of an exercise in futility than anything wlse, because they will get you eventually, they know you're coming back.

  5. That sucks...I fear the landing that puts a mark on my suit, and whoever happens to be within earshot if it does happen. I'll be cursing a blue streak I tell you. I like the suit and all, but the thing that would really get me would be the money I shelled out to get it. I don't think I ever wished I got paid in American dollars more than I did then....or a whole bunch more Canadian dollars anyways.

    Iraq

    I wasn't going to ge tin on this, but I don't have much to do, so here goes. I honestly beleive that Saddam NEEDS to be taken out of power, and by Saddam, I mean him, his top guys, and especially his two sons. The only way this is actually going to happen, is if people go in there and take him out. Some people will die in the process, and that's truely awful, but look at the facts. He has not met the requirements placed on him for the last decade, and now, even in the face of another war, he still will not cooperate. First he agrees to let the inspectors back, but doesn't fully comply, so they have this big meeting, and nothing happens except they say, ok, well if he doesn't do it this time, we'll do something about it. So the cheif inspectors go back, and he agrees to let the U2 flights, and has granted interviews with scientists. He's stalling like a mother f*cker, and if we wait to long, we're gonna find out why. I, in all reality, think that after the next report from the two cheif inspectors, regardless of what the vote is, Bush and Blair are going to go ahead and move in. I for one, kind of hope they do, but also wish they didn't have to.

  7. agreed. I did have to look around quite a bit to find one without them. Nice coincidence that it also happened to be being used as a jump plane.

  8. no problem. I'm sure I'm not thinking of them all, so just try and look at a skydive from start to finish, and think of what you could do physically to make it better. Also, you could include the fact that this sport has very much to do with mental conditioning and being in an "ideal performance state." Being well rested and physically sound also helps with this.

  9. cardiovascular. the better yours is, the less likely you are to be effected as quickly by hypoxia. Physical Strength for doing things like packing, or risering on certain canopies...not to mention the better shape you are in, the more likely it is for you to be able to walk away from a not so perfect landing, or run out a downwinder.

  10. I have become convinced that it is indeed a 130, but not all 130's have the underwing tanks. I posted a picture of one without them on this thread even.

  11. A friend just had a kid that was a boy right up until the day SHE was born. Kinda threw them for a loop, but she's a sweetie. Congrats man.

  12. yeah, it would be. Unfortunately I fear the 15th.... S.E.X. party #1 "Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "f*#k, what a ride".

    RIG SEAT

    agreed. kids ride on the roof rack...unless your camping, cause that's where the tent would have to go I guess. Get a 20' length of rope, and hope your kids can rollerblade well.

  15. I don't know... there's a lot of them. My ex-wife tried to do it alphabetically and only got up to Rs. is that the r in screw, french, or in germans?

  16. Here's a 130.... edited to add the picture. S.E.X. party #1 "Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "f*#k, what a ride".
  17. I would have to say C160...here's why. S.E.X. party #1 "Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "f*#k, what a ride".
  18. can't help you with what it is, but I can tell you it is not a C130. They have 4 engines, not two. S.E.X. party #1 "Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "f*#k, what a ride".
  19. I don't know if Garfield should try and land that canopy...looks like he's got some broken lines... S.E.X. party #1 "Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "f*#k, what a ride".
  20. If you have pictures of people they know, then send those. Sentimental BS works well on tough army guys, especially when away from home. So, if you have a picture of them, and some friends having a good time, I'm sure they would like a copy to daydream about when they have time.

  21. He obviously has too much money, or knows someone who's really good at canopy control, and very aware who's gonna follow his handle down.
  22. if memory serves, the cobalt 25 was rated to 500 lbs. That sounds pretty efficient to me. I am an extremely light person at about 120. By the time I have enough experience to tackle something ultra high performance, I have no doubt tha tit will be there, but the way trends are going, to acheive the types of loadings that others are, they just don't make it yet. Luckily I'm not there yet. Someday....someday.

  23. In some cases, others look and see your boys on trial, and think how wrong it is for them to be there and how many other people had to make mistakes to get them there. Where are they?

  24. Valid point. If the blast had enough power to rip through the armour and throw them from the vehicle, I would think shrapnel would've shredded them though. I did not look closely at where the blast came from though, and could be very wrong.

  25. I just don't think a missile or bomd with a direct hit like that would leave its passengers in one piece flying through the air as depicted. Friends of mine were the ones in Aphganistan when the bomb dropped, and there was very little left of their helmets, never mind complete bodies flying through the air.
