  1. my previous antics are precisely why I made it overly clear that I was NOT talking anytime soon. That's where the save some people a lecture part came in. I was just looking for some opinions on next level canopies.

  2. from my personal experience, I would go with the trying to get belly to earth too fast. I did that on my first level pff, and it caused me to tumble around for the rest of the skydive. If he tries to point his toes to the ground and still be in the arch, it should help...I don't know, worked for me.

    ahhh growth

    As time goes on, and a person takes time to reflect, he looks back on the person he once was, and realizes changes have taken place unknowingly to even himself. Myself for instance...When I first became addicted to this sport I said "I wouldn't bother dating someone who doesn't skydive...they just wouldn't understand." Now I look at myself, a little more than 100 jumps later, and realize how shallow that is, and would gladly date someone who doesn't skydive...but she sure as hell better be able to pack!

  5. I thought it was kind of funny that they had a "listen to live commentary" tag on there...How boring would that be? hehehe I can barely stand to watch it, never mind sit and listen to it....although I have been having trouble sleeping, so....

  6. I'm currently jumping a Spectre 135 and love it to bits. I am however thinking of the future and trying to do some homework now. I DO NOT PLAN ON DOWNSIZING IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

    stupid question...

    yeah, I got the info...turns out there's about a dozen Byrons in the U.S. and that one is probably one of the farthest away...oh well, maybe some other time.
  8. Ok, first thing, you can't really tell him he can't have one if it's his mom buying it, because she WILL buy it and he WILL take it. If you tell him to leave it at his moms house, he'll just hide it in his backpack when he's at your house too. He will bring it home, you just won't know it. You might as well just be ok with it, let him have it, then make random calls to his cell, just to let him know that by having the phone, it's one way you can always get ahold of him. I give it a month of this before he's begging you to take it off his hands... Just my opinion of course, I could be wrong 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".
  9. It doesn't really matter what it says about you...Just what I've already told everyone jokes of course 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".

    work vs. prison

    In prison, you spend the majority of your time in an 8-by-10 cell. At work, you spend most of your time in a 6-by-8 cubicle. In prison, you get time off for good behavior. At work, you get rewarded for good behavior with more work. In prison, you can watch television and play games. At work, you get fired for watching TV and playing games. In prison, all expenses are paid by taxpayers, with no work required. At work, you get to pay all expenses to go to work and then they deduct taxes from your salary in order to support prisoners. In prison, you spend your life looking through bars from inside wanting to get out. At work, you spend most of your time wanting to get out and go inside bars. In prison, there are wardens who are often sadistic. At work, they are called supervisors 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".
  13. sure, no, all I know is what I heard...I heard embetterment, and sorry to all the palestinian people I may have offended. I feel so embarrasmented 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".
  14. I don't know if it's been mentioned on here, but president Bush was flaunting his edumacation yet again while stating that one of the things he wants to keep working towards is "the embetterment" of Palistinian people. hehehehe 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".
  15. Another thing you may wish to try is mix some tomato juice with beer....I know it sounds gross, but I've seen a lot of people do it, and they say it kills the beer taste. That way you can buy the cheapest beer around, and even after the cost of the tomato juice it's probably still less than a good import. Although if it's beer for a first, I'd say get the good stuff, keep the dz happy.

  16. there is no good beginner beer. Beer all tastes the same to "virgins" so it won't really matter what kind you get. Just my opinion, but to be honest, most beer still tastes the same to me.

  17. yeaj I recall hearing something about that a while back. Guess who they're going to use as stewardesses. (I know, I know, flight attendants, but honestly in this case I think stewardesses is acceptable.)

  19. what kind of water is that, I know some girls who might appreciate a little of it. I guess it's true what they say...A moment on the lips....

  20. When I posted the bit about doubling your forward speed I meant with no front risering...I just mean that if you use a series of turns to wind up your canopy, and for the brief time after you come out of it with extra speed. I used doubling your speed as an easy measurement. That is to say that for the brief time after you turn and are back at full glide with the extra speed, not only is your forward speed increased, but also your descent rate, although when compared as a ratio, i.e. 4/1, they would be the same i.e. 8/2.

    kinda weird

    I wonder if you added up the weight of all the blood spilled by American governments, and compared it to all of the "aid" they've given which would weigh more....

    That's expensive beer! I wasn't whining, just justifying my excessive posting in the last little while for all of those people who are like..."where the hell did this guy come from?" hehehe 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".
