  2. in an attempt to acheive an old(er) age !?! When I go, I want to pass away in my sleep, just like my dear old Grandmother, NOT screaming like the passengers in the car she was driving.

  4. Hi Teigen, so I thought until starting to investigate, and am assured there are some good lenses with facility for attachments, and quality is dependent as with cameras on price. But I still haven't seen the evidence anywhere. C When I go, I want to pass away in my sleep, just like my dear old Grandmother, NOT screaming like the passengers in the car she was driving.
  5. Yo y'all, would appreciate feedback with sensible pros and cons of bullet cams, recommendations etc Blues Chris When I go, I want to pass away in my sleep, just like my dear old Grandmother, NOT screaming like the passengers in the car she was driving.
  6. depends on, how current I am, my mood, size and shape of dz (any sources of wind turbulance), which canopy I am jumping etc, and if in doubt my answer would be "no jump" When I go, I want to pass away in my sleep, just like my dear old Grandmother, NOT screaming like the passengers in the car she was driving.
  7. It's very simple, if your asking this question you are not ready to increase wingloads or downsize. Ask yourself first two things, Am I getting Max performance out of my current canopy?" "Am I confident enough to downsize?" The best answer to this question is an air ticket to Empuria Brava (or other dropzone) and do a piloting course, One of the most impotant things I learnt in a Piloting course is that when I am ready to downsize or increase performance and loading, then I won't need to ask, I will know it. ....thanks Brian When I go, I want to pass away in my sleep, just like my dear old Grandmother, NOT screaming like the passengers in the car she was driving.

    Acqui Terme

    Professional and friendly, everybody feels welcome, facilities are basic to say the least, though a small price to pay for jumping in a beautiful location. Not sure about local accomodation though I am sure somthing is to be found in the delightful, nearby, Romanic town of Acqui Terme.
  10. seek recommendations on make and model of a good camera (video) for side mounting on a helmet. Thanks When I go, I want to pass away in my sleep, just like my dear old Grandmother, NOT screaming like the passengers in the car she was driving.
  11. since the first time I saw Soul flyers I have been fascinated with the concept of "Blade Running" what is the best canopy for this. Currently flyng a Spark 150 but looking to downsize to a 135 or perhaps 120 With Thanks and best wishes for 2007 When I go, I want to pass away in my sleep, just like my dear old Grandmother, NOT screaming like the passengers in the car she was driving.
  12. What about the concept that creation is god and continues to be, the philisophical view When I go, I want to pass away in my sleep, just like my dear old Grandmother, NOT screaming like the passengers in the car she was driving.
  13. beats drinking and driving mate but it'll all end in tears prefer natural highs When I go, I want to pass away in my sleep, just like my dear old Grandmother, NOT screaming like the passengers in the car she was driving.
  14. Yo folks does anyone have any info on dropzones in Mallorca or the Baleares Blues CD When I go, I want to pass away in my sleep, just like my dear old Grandmother, NOT screaming like the passengers in the car she was driving.
  15. Usually I ask the Whuffos, what do they actually and tehnically know about skydiving, the invariable is "nothing" then it´s good to point out (in a sarcastic way) the dangers of ignorance and assumption.......that´s if I bother to answer at all. quick healing! When I go, I want to pass away in my sleep, just like my dear old Grandmother, NOT screaming like the passengers in the car she was driving.
  16. anyone know of blade running or ground launch camps in Europe? blues.... CD When I go, I want to pass away in my sleep, just like my dear old Grandmother, NOT screaming like the passengers in the car she was driving.
  17. I´ve bought my first and subsequently current rig on e-bay. both were great buys,though there is always risk buying somthing blind. correspond direct with the seller,get all the info you can. and check the adds on dropzone.com there´s some good buys here (mine for example) on my new rig I had the hacky changed for little cost by my local rigger, was not expensive. not nec. to change deploy. When I go, I want to pass away in my sleep, just like my dear old Grandmother, NOT screaming like the passengers in the car she was driving.
  18. There is a responsibility within the community that is unequalled by almost any other sport. If you convince someone to buy an undersized rig, just to make a sale. Well the award is for you. Of course there are lightwieghts and naturals that will from the start have no issues with a small rig, the event that triggerd this award was an un-necessary accident where a fresh off the AFF course beginner was negotiating buying a Sabre 150, he trial jumped it at the insistance of the seller. Several people in the dropzone tried to talk him out of it, but were labled as underestimating cynics. Crash and burn. Luckily he got off with a light to moderate concussion and a busted up self confidence. By the way, I am told the seller tried to insist he then buy the rig as he had ditied it.... so don't y'all think the seller is getting off lightly with the DH lable, I would personally call him something else......

  19. AND THE DICKHEAD AWARD IS SHARED THIS MONTH BY THOSE WONDERFUL PEOPLE WHO TRY TO SELL A ZP 135ft or 150ft TO A NEWBIE AS AN IDEAL 1st RIG When I go, I want to pass away in my sleep, just like my dear old Grandmother, NOT screaming like the passengers in the car she was driving.
  20. 80mph is not by far the fastest I´ve been on wheels, but oh man, when its 2" above the ground, lying flat on your back, going down a mountain road on a street luge "IT FEELS BALLISTIC" it aint the speed that gets ya, it be the sudden stop !!! When I go, I want to pass away in my sleep, just like my dear old Grandmother, NOT screaming like the passengers in the car she was driving.
  21. ok I just wasted 10min and read this b.s. now, it seems reasonable to say "don´t do drugs if it affects others" but hels bells, and honestly, how many of the righteous critics think they can drive (just this once and there´s not much traffic ha ha) after just a couple of beers. struck out dudes (& dudettes). must admit that the righteous already have this guy lined up with the mansons and the hannibals for a joint. get real folks, what is it that YOU`RE hiding. hey, I have a very responsible job, but I am not going to sack my crew for what they (probably) did a week ago on thier visit to amsterdam. people who live in grass houses shouldn´t stowe thrones (in the attic) When I go, I want to pass away in my sleep, just like my dear old Grandmother, NOT screaming like the passengers in the car she was driving.
  22. since when is the attraction an academic (or financial) issue, that attitude is so damn American. All relationships need to be strong, not just one or other dominant individual, we ALL have our strengths and weaknesses, in a team, reltionship, the idea is for one partner to support the other AND VICE VERSA . If you cannot communicate you cannot survive, but I am sure that communication dosn´t need to be defined by one partners field of acadamia. Strong women, tough guys are you out to prove somthing, When I go, I want to pass away in my sleep, just like my dear old Grandmother, NOT screaming like the passengers in the car she was driving.
  23. a ma climbed the highest mountain to be closer to his god. Raising his face to the heavens he reached up his arms and cried "oh lord, I beseach thee, please fill me with your light." God looked down upon the man and in his deep empathic voice replied. "oh vey, oy vey, I keep filling you all the time, but you! you keep leaking"....... true story When I go, I want to pass away in my sleep, just like my dear old Grandmother, NOT screaming like the passengers in the car she was driving.
