  1. irony: educated people...especially educators...are among the most ignorant/out of touch people i have ever met in the area of reality and how it works. "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329
  2. uhh...do your "experimentation" high (if you're using toggles to "shorten the recovery arc", that's bad) and make sure not to take anyone else out because you attempted something well out of your skill set. that's all i'll recommend. good luck. oh yeah, get coaching from somebody who's qualified if it's available in your neck o' the woods. "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329
  3. yeah...there's a risk. i've never had it happen though. i pull my rear grommets down with my index and middle fingers while putting positive pressure on my stowed toggles with my thumbs. does that make sense? "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329
  4. chinese finger-cuffs are neat... "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329
  5. goosefraba... "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329
  6. yeah...look at the faces of other skydivers when they land and say to yourself, "this is gonna be fun!" enjoy your first jump! "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329
  7. not to nitpick but, the term "dig" refers to the input required to shorten the radius of a recovery arc. the part of the landing that you're refering to is typically called the "shutdown". "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329
  8. that was one hell of a weekend! thanks to tecumseh for hosting a great bash. one more thing...anybody jumpin' with that jimmy t guy in the future watch out; he'll make you learn and have fun all damn day whether you want to or not! see you all later this year! "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329
  9. there's nothing wrong with violent mobs that automatic weapons fire wouldn't cure...especially holier-than-thou groups like these. "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329
  10. HAHA! so they would have you believe. He followed ohio election law to exacting standards. people who can't figure out how to register correctly (much like those who can't work a butterfly ballot) want special treatment for their incompetence, ignorance, and general laziness. i say fuck 'em. if you can't make your way through the simple task of registering to vote, you don't posess the mental prowess to be voting in the first place. "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329
  11. well...you've got that velocity 97 and a girl to try to impress with it that you were talking about in the swooping forum. what else were you lookin' for? wait a minute...your not scott lutz are you? all that stuff skydivers have said about you is all wrong. don't be bitter and remember: don't hook it until you can see the whites of their eyes. "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329
  12. i think there's a cliche to cover this...one man's logical argument is another man's whine. or, something like that. "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329
  13. i think i might take your place alana but, it won't be the same without ya.
  14. i'm with sporto; labatts please. "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329
  15. i cancelled my order today that i placed last august. i'll be giving the neptune a go. "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329
  16. awesome pun, intended or not "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329
  17. wow...a whole 200 ft. go get 'em illinois! as far as the eroding freedom bit, i don't think i'll lose sleep over my right to protest people while they're attending a funeral. "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329
  18. it's like a wave function. we put the gop in power for 8 years and the grass is greener with the dems so, we put them in power for 8 years and then it's back to the gop. the switching back and forth proves at least one point though: politicians suck and they're not interested in what's best for the country; they're interested in their power and retaining it at all costs. "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329
  19. cold air is more dense than warm air. your canopy might flare slightly more for the same input but, it won't be anything unmanageable. "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329
  20. gotta love the gradient polls around here. "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329
  21. there probably wouldn't have been jail time involved unless the prosecution demonstrated gross negligence on the part of the pyro guy. i haven't followed the case or anything but, on the surface, it seems harsh, unless he knew that he was breaking ordinances and putting people in jeopardy. "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329
  22. gotta love the all or nothin' polls around here. "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329
  23. ohio law is not like yours. we have to be going onto school (the traditional kind) grounds to conduct business in order for us to have to unload our guns. if you're just passing by on a street or walking by within the 1000 ft., you can continue to carry normally. "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329
  24. ahh...chapelle...love that guy! "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329
  25. so true.... reminds me of my father, he died quietly in his sleep, not screeming and shouting like the passengers on his bus that shit made laugh so loud i scared my dog. "Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329
