  1. last time I went out to eloy it was like 500 for the plane ticket 400 for the tin tent (aka car) about 150 in food and booze (as I had car and bought bottles of rum) 2000 in jumps I tended to go out there for team month, but not so much anymore...

  4. Are you sure about that? - David If by psychologist you mean Doctorate in Psychology I gather from resume he is not... he does however have a neat thing which is a throwback to psychologies roots contemplative psych hmmm reminds us that psychology was the baby of philosophy...

  5. yeah one of your objectives should be finding a local mentor who is a good teacher :-) nothing helped me more than someone saying hey try this out cause it will cause this to be better and this is how you go about it Dave http://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.
  6. like yeah i do the freefall thing but I skydive for canopy piloting Dave http://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.

  8. Don't do that. You'll get bored. truthfully here is what I tell the students that I deal with... "Put your hand on my ankle" then I move my foot they get this disgusted look on their faces then I say "you have the rest of your life to skydive" So not all of us say these things Dave http://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.
  9. AA-what???? Dave http://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.
  10. I'm dieting my way to 1.0 again, Right now I'm 1.3 on my Stiletto 150. I'm old school again. I think in a few years i will upsize to a crossfire 2 109 Dave http://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.
  11. take extra special care when quartering your slider and when you are getting air out of your canopy I tend to turn rings so they are flat while packing on everything anyway and then creating a hood out of the slider on the tailside and nose side also I tend to stick the slider outside of the stabilizers on the side quartering pieces and I have deployed and had people think I was having a malfunction it was so soft... Once again if your slider moves once you get it on the ground you can have issues Dave http://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.
  12. I started swooping on a sabre 2 loaded at about 1.2 and learned everything I know about swooping on that Cheers Dave http://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.
  13. from what it sounds like it isnt the front end that is the biggest problem it sounds like a server load handling/upload problem...perhaps splitting your processes onto some different boxes mike...

    I started doing a shitload of solos where I would exit back to prop and just lay back my head into the hill then I just repeated and repeated and repeated I also spent 2 weeks and 70 jumps at Eloy working on it Cheers Dave http://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.
  16. sounds to me like the chin and love had a little tiff and the chin is spinning like a crackwhore in a snow storm D http://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.
  17. as a recovered recovering person (skydiving worked better for me than anonymous things) I think that is some bunk (for me at least) a guy I used to talk to once said what works for me works for me and what works for you works for you Dave http://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.
  18. you know what i find interesting is that it takes a while to get a patent on anything and the PEA RDS has that, which kind of tells me that Scott or who ever put a lot of time into it. but wasn't it just last year that paraconcepts had those plastic RDS's? and now they have almost identical RDS's to PEA? i don't know maybe it's me, but that seems wierd. the interesting thing about design patents (which would be what he is most likely applying for having worked in the business...) is that all they have to do is change something in a small way proving that their design improves on the other design and hisa patent will mean squat. Unless he goes and patents the idea of RDS's it wont help him at all Dave http://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.

  24. You cant teach everything in a FJC. Period. How many FJC teach flat turns? Should they? Again, with so many student not even comprehending "landing into the wind" and how to do that in real life, you are telling me you teach how to deal with a low altitude accident avoidance? Come on... We teach flat turns in our Fourth Jump Course Dave http://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.
