Firstly I agree with most of what you said, but the only thing that you don't take into account is that a sail is a wing and uses lift to move the boat through the water. So therefore a canopy could be considered a sail, but at the same time it would be more if the operator was connected with the earth in some way. Also a balloon has no aerodynamic properties so it could never be considered as a sail/wing, its just getting blown over by the wind when its in connection with the ground. I used to think a sail was pushed by the wind also until I went sailing last year, and my friend kindly pointed out that the sail is an airfoil. The only thing the wind affects is your ground speed/track, from what i've seen/read. The min sink/max glide stuff you talked about is spot on as far as I can tell. Edit:Typo.

Glad your ok, sounds like you might need to read Brian Germains book - The Parachute and its pilot. The stuff on your G-loading under canopy might help prevent this in the future. Were you turning the other way before you started spiralling? "If murder and suicide are illegal, then why is it ok to kill yourself and others with cigarettes?????" www.myspace.com/Hypoxicmusic

Good stuff man, such a wicked dvd. You seen Soul Flyers? Thats cool too, I love the Namibia freefly scene, for me thats what freeflying is all about, not just one body position but flying your body in all progressively.

Its your life, if you don't like something then change it. Some people you just have to be strong with and tell em how its going to be. Failing that, I would just track off a 4.5 anyway.

It's happening increasingly often in marathons, esp those doing 'charity races' as their first one and were overdrilled on the importance of drinking water. It takes amazingly little salt or gatorade to avoid, but here we are. There was also a hazing death with a banned frat recently. The victim drank 5 gallons of water. Most people who die while taking Extasy die because of excess water consumption.

Isn't the Bible itself a work of fiction? That makes the "Bible Code" an even greater load of horse shit! I wonder if the writing of the bible coincided with the discovery of LSD?

I thought you couldn't attack a group just like you couldn't attack a person here on dz.com. The statement above is a fine example of an ignorant (and false) generalization. Seems to be bang on the money to me!! Its not really an attack more of a hilarious and true statement. Not all religious people fall under this category of course, Speedracer seems to be open-minded. Its just that most do, and to me they are obviously the ignorant ones! Edited to add - Go Homer!! A prime example of an unevolved brain.
