  1. a bit menstrual today? pulling is cool. keep it in the skin. options: it does a body good.
  2. you would know more if you did more listening and less talking. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin. options: it does a body good.
  3. i dare you to tell that to anyone who was at Tienemann Square, or involved in launching the Challenger. you could even tell it to the Texas researchers who found a treatment that was effective in saving the life of a patient who needed a bone marrow transplant when no donor could be found. i will not speak for any of those people, however i would tend to think their participation in the eighties was full. i am not saying it wasn't a fun time. i'm just saying some people sacrificed their lives, and some people saved some lives. In the eighties there were "good people in the world". even though they may have been so selfish that, rather than feed a stray dog, they stood in front of a tank(let's face it, you only stand in front of a tank if you want to, and that is just selfish). i consider some of them to be heroes, and i'm sure some of them have vivid memories of twenty years ago. you dishonor them as well as yourself when you say blue stuff, p.j. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin. options: it does a body good.
  4. it shouldn't be a big deal. as far as i know it was a contributing factor in only one fatality, and that guy forgot to put his rig on. you should be fine as long as you ask for at least one pin check. blue stuff, p.j. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin. options: it does a body good.
  5. i am collecting some of the safety day seminars that our dropzone uses every year and was interested to see what other dropzones are using. what topics are covered and how the information is presented. please pm or e-mail me if you can help, thank you. blue stuff, p.j.

  6. what do you call a guy with no arms and no legs... (fill in the situation) in a lake? bob on your doorstep? matt in a hole? phil under a pile of leaves? russel on the side of a mountain? cliff on your wall? art his dad ? pop art if he's rude to you? kurt if he's a lawyer? sue towed by a skiboat? skip in your mailbox? bill two of them, over your window? kurt and rod in prison? humphrey pulling is cool. keep it in the skin. options: it does a body good.

  8. i have them stand on my feet to get slack in the chest strap. if i have problems seeing the chest strap i just run my hand up the main lift web until i find it. i haven't had any problems with this technique. blue stuff, p.j. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin. options: it does a body good.
  9. "he survived the car crash" "he almost survived the car crash" seems like a big difference to me. blue stuff, p.j. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin. options: it does a body good.
  10. it was sunny and mild with calm winds in Cross Keys today, blue stuff, p.j. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin. options: it does a body good.
  11. the ground doesn't care about how cool i or anyone else is. i just wanted to read what others had to offer in the way of decision making and execution of those decisions. if you have anything on topic to offer i would like to read it. blue stuff, p.j. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin. options: it does a body good.
  12. just curious. multiple answers are allowed. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin. options: it does a body good.
  13. i just don't see alot of seperation issues resulting from using flawed systems, but i do see those issues more often with flawed execution, specifically the lack of attention given to insuring seperation no matter what system is used. a digital timer just gives some people a different thing to ignore. i swear that some people get so amped right before exit that if you handcuffed them to the airplane and told them you would give them the key in eight seconds, they would gnaw their arm off and exit in two. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin. options: it does a body good.
  14. the first thing i do to speed up the opening on any canopy is to reduce the tension on the line stows. going more for ten pound tension to release each stow rather than fourteen. that's what works for me, your milage may vary. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin. options: it does a body good.

  17. you mean like your're doing? if only there were some way these students could get the MESSAGE about this PERSONAL issue you have. hmm,... hmm,... oh well, i can't think of a thing. guess i'll go read something about safety. anyone know what that forum is called? pulling is cool. keep it in the skin. options: it does a body good.
  18. i do. it was standard policy at both DZs that i jumped at in the late eighties and early nineties that you needed a square reserve beyond a certain wind speed on the ground. most experienced jumpers i knew at the time with round reserves had a cutoff that was below DZ policy. p.j. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin. options: it does a body good.
  19. with varying degrees of success. ever jumped an 11 cell? pulling is cool. keep it in the skin. options: it does a body good.

    unscrew one light bulb, perform a perfect river dance, kill a hobo, walk into a room full of second graders and tell them Santa Claus is hiding under their bed with an axe, call an electrician and have him tell you which switch operates which bulb, then travel once between the two rooms.

    it doesn't work if you are over one-hundred years old, but then again what does work when you're over one-hundred years old? pulling is cool. keep it in the skin. options: it does a body good.
  23. i work with five different designs of Strong student harnesses. there are some designs i prefer over others, but adjusting the student's harness after opening is a standard step on every tandem i do. i just don't see the new harnesses choking students any more or less than the old harnesses available to me. i just don't see any of this as a pain in the ass. p.j. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin. options: it does a body good.
  24. making your student more comfortable should never be a pain in the ass. i work with Strong rigs and harnesses every day. i take the same steps you do after opening to ensure my student's comfort. i never thought of it as a pain in the ass. i always thought of it as just doing my job. p.j. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin. options: it does a body good.
