Get behind a truck?!? I'd be more worried about getting behind you grandma...75 mins from downtown...GEEZ

True but if you drive that POS car like Chucks, then 45 minutes can seem like 'quite a ways,' and feel like a cesspool as well.

This much crying over something so stupid...i now pronounce you.....SKYDIVER!!!!! Congrats, you're officially one of us now, go forth now and bitch about jump prices, tandem bumps, mean greedy DZO's, and all those other 'guys' that are not in your discipline.

It's true. I was there last year. I put my hands in my pants and grabbed my ass the entire time. It truly was a wonderful experience.

I thought he did awesome...Leno asks some very "WUFFO" questions, and he responded quickly, calmly, and precisely. You can tell, this isn't the first time he's been interviewed on television, he looked very natural.

Can you give specifics?

Ain't Dat da truth!!!

Lots of slop, i could have fit a 210 easy

I did shove a Tempo 150 up my ass once... it opened like shit!!!!

I flew a Talon once, took a month for the black and blue marks to heal in my legs. Good opening on the canopy and everything. As for cheap gear like this and tempos...i'll go back to my origional statement. Ya get what ya pay for!!! Latz peeps. (Hey I bet you can apply this common statement to more than skydiving gear!!!)

Oh and Plueeese! You sell them, you have a vested interest in keeping the name in good condition. I actually had one of those peices of crap on my back for a few hundred jumps before I could afford something better for my life. How many threads on PDR's with 'built in turns' are there??? Don't confuse bandwagon with fact. Get out from behind the phone. Latz!!

You get what you pay for! ;)

Your going to land in deep water, there is NO avioding this water landing? What do you do? Lets say it was an emergency exit, and there are no floatation devices on your person? These are my thoughts, but i'm looking for better or more efficient ideas. Bottom clips undone. My chest strap undone. Flare above the water. When we hit, unhook the top two connector links and slide out of the harness like a sport rig. The problem I'm thinking of, is if there is a weight unbalence under the water, the clips on top may have some problems. For those tandem masters that are around water alot, what is your input. Extra large floatation devices?

No flips, unless it's a necessity, i.e. tailgate, or small cessna...i feel that out of these aircraft, trying to force a position against the relative wind, or making the student do something that is unneccessary is foolish. There have been a few incidents of the drogue wrapping around tevas and causing a fatality. Regardless if it was flip induced or not. AGREED, that it is totally unnecessary, and for all those new TM's out there. If you student asks about doing a flip, just tell them: "You know, anyone can mindlessly flip uncontrollabily out the door, what we are going to do is a really smooth controled dive and recovery. From a third point of view this looks so nice and smooth, and that is where the skill takes place, but I can't make it look good unless you help me with that arch."
