Although entertaining, It wasn't up to nippleboy standards. Could someone post the link to the classic posts from the rec. Those are so damn funny Jon

...for Christ sake John...I mean really...don't you...awhhhh hell, nevermind

There are plenty of countries that don't have the protection that the US constitution provides the people of our nation. If LEOs aren't going to uphold our constitution and chose to violate the rights of the people, they need to chose another country to live in that better reflects their personal beliefs on how people should be treated. A country where the people expect to be beaten for "nut zhowing zer papers". In this case, the constitution should have protected Anderson in his actions, it does not protect the POS LOEs that beat this guy because they wanted to exert their control over someone. At some point, everone will be just enough of a criminal that they can be treated in any manner that the "control-freak" type LEO sees fit...you'll see. Patrick Henry - "Give me liberty, or give me death" I'd rather die than see this kind "authority abuse" destroy the foundation of our country. Jon

Yup...I can see where yo cummin from... Everybody likes a rubberband man...yeayuaa

Spare 7 minutes for some different kinda jazz...or Barney Miller theme song on stereoids. Yes, white folk do listen to sum cool music too...Herbie Hancock, at your service, circa 1972...Watermelon Man http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jo5GcYeh7XA I'll enlighten yall with more later, if ya want

Seems like it has more to do with the "suprise effect" than anyting else. I've never gottin' it from a helicopter, balloon, or aircraft. I think as long as your brain KNOWs exactly when your body is going to drop, it prepares and therefore can avoid you getting that feeling. In an elevator, or as a passanger (sometimes as the driver) going over/down a hill, your brain doesn't know exactly when to prepare the body for the drop.

That pretty much sums it up, Squeak

What a load of shit. Why do you say that? Five words is the best you can offer? I'd really be interested in hearing your reasoning for saying something so simple minded.

[reply To me powerless = no options. In any situation, there's always options. One may not like them or they may not necessarily be smart, but they are still there and a decision is made. Indecision is a decision too. A really good point, but it's kinda like trying to "will" yourself out of having diabetes. Alcoholism is the worst kind of junkie there is, in terms of the strength and grip of the addiction. It alters your brain in such a way that simply quitting isn't a realistic option.

Sorry, but to me, this is a cop out. Admit you have a problem and need help, but don't ever think you're powerless. No one is truly powerless unless they give up. You can say that because aren't alcoholic or perhaps floating the river in Egypt

Well it sounded like he was in a hurry!

Go to your closet and get out the old T-10 you're never going jump again. Cut about 20 inches of suspension line. Remove the guts from the line and viola... Jon

Although the idea sounds good, it has a serious flaw. What would happen is, students would be giving advice to students...nothing good would come of that. Stick to General, S&T and the Instructor forums, sort out the crap, and you will learn much! Jon

If you are trying to beat the static line...you're probably going to cotinue to have trouble. Ask you're instructor if he wants you to "demonstrate the ability to pull in a timely manner", or if he's expecting you to time it with the static-line deployment. Practice your counts at every oportunity...at home, at work, in your car. Then take your time and DON'T rush the count on your next jump. It'll work for ya! Jon

Hang on a minute. You're against the idea of a school requesting that kids don't bring nuts to school because it infringes someones freedoms, but you're OK with schools requiring other kids to keep intravenous adrenalin on them? So regulation instead of a voluntary code of conduct is your way to maintain freedoms. That's a bit backwards isn't it? It's NOT IV, it's a muscle injection...and my wife has had one for more than 20 years

You haven't already paid anyone for the jump, have you?

...wow...Ron? Do you recall what altitude you were under your inflated reserve?

You will be scared driving to the DZ, waiting to jump, and gearing up. You'll feel better walking to the plane, a little better on the climb to altitude, and fan-fucking-tastic when you exit! After you land, you'll wonder what all the nerves were about I know these thing to be true...have fun! Jon

(note; I slipped in the secret picture of runway 48R located in Area 51. The government parks abandoned UFO's on the taxiway next to it.) This is at the very bottom of the page Jon

She's gotten the shit kicked out of her in almost every movie she's ever made...is this really different? Jon

Sorry Grissom...or Bill...that's really funny right there... Jon grammer

Dayum...gotta refresh every now and then... Jon

You didn't put a "dump'em both" option. No friend and no SO would do that... Jon
