Skreamer you are such a duim! hou my vas daar opie gras van gauteng! vie is jou pom poes?

well said Chuck I think there is a lot of untapped potential out there that just needs a push in the right direction. Competing is fun and is challenging even to the people who have been doing it for a while. the more people involved the better the whole thing becomes. it also incourages learning that EVERYONE benefits from. hope to see more people there.

hey shitmel yeah its a girl. i am in AL right now. sorry to bring up more pressure for you in the competition i know how high strung you already are. just think of it as good experience.

I am definately in even though you spelled my name wrong Ian. *ROSSOUW* sorry mark i sympathise although Shitmel does have a nice RING to it.

Spizzarko is absolutely right and not only that, the tricks that tonto is talking about in eloy were things like blindman supermans and things that require a large amount of dragging feet. this definately kills a lot of air speed and with that , distance maybe there is a point where as you go too high the air becomes too thin and the distance is affected negatively although the speed is still high. could it be that there is a point where the swoops will be furthest. right air density/ altitude and perfect execution of turn. somewhere higher than sea level and lower than some of those really high altitude DZs i wonder. we should go on a mission and swoop all the dropzones in the world at all the different altitudes and see if one really consistently produces higher results. who's with me!

Well done Dee and Congrats. You are a very strong and wonderful person and you showed us how to be positive even in the ugliest situation. when is the house warming because i am definately going to bring a BIIIG bottle to help celebrate!! big fat hug Paul

the point of the seal is not to prove anything after a cut away but something to look at before you put your gear on to know that nothing has happened to the reserve since you last jumped your gear

Hi dont forget the tri is a seven cell and is going to land like one.meaning it will need a one stage constant flare depending on wing loading. the pilot, being a nine cell semi elliptical midrange canopy should seem more responsive and you will 'feel' what is going on more. which should in theory make your landings seem a little more managable. i personally think you should have no probs going back to the pilot. but be relaxed and stay aware of what is happening during the flare. just my two cents but getting a canopy coach to watch what you are doing will help a whole bunch i change between those two canopies regularly for test jumps and aff and stuff hope this helped Blue ones Paul

its katie !! alana and justi say hi! and wish you were here

wow they are smokin! for lesbians

saffer is such an ugly word. i prefer dutchman or clutchplate or afrikaaner owe. very nice job chris putting this all together. everyone has improved incredibly! thanks Paul

i think it is good that people are pointing the obvious dangers involved with higher wing loadings on a reserve but lets not detract from the topic too much. only good info on the smart reserve please. thanks

the smart bares no resemblance in design to the tempo and is a more modern up to date seven cell design with higher standards of reinforcement coupled with good opening and flying characteristics. i would suggest phoning up aerodyne and getting a demo smart to jump as a main. they fly very much like a triathlon i have five jumps on a 110 loaded at 1.8 for shits and giggles. it has a huge amount of lift compared to a tempo and picked me up more than the pd 113. i have no emergency rides on one but i have seen two. one subterminal and one terminal. both opened really quickly and both pilots where happy to say the least. my two cents

me in zhills not long after vern and kelly

pretty much looks like hes fallen asleep on the job! good thing his parachute is keeping him upright or that could be ugly. especially with those skinny white boy need a tan legs nice one tyler very sweet and by sweet i mean totally cool! oh wait thats backwards

so bull!#%$ aside ,, will you be at lake wales

what ever floats your boat jail boy!

yeah but does being the mommy count?

hey spizzarko are people able to shut down little cross braced canopies loaded at 2.0 + at that altitude where you are? thanks Paul

no dates for four years?? i thought you were the main playa in the whole of georgia!? we missed you man but a four year gap in your sex life will change any red blooded male's priorities!

Wendy I want to say a huge thanks it was an awesome event held in a very cool dropezone. yes it was cool and by cool i mean TOTALLY SWEET! the jello shots are still running through my head now! and the pizza was great! the fire works display was spectacular! I hope the meet can be held there next season again. with or without doubling the prize money. Paul Ps akitas rule!!

That sux dude. i guess if it was for cash there would be more people huh?

Hey colon Ask brian germaine to send you a sensei prototype then you can compete for cash!

hey Ian that is really too bad. i was looking forward to whooping your ass personally. how about you come down anyway and i will give you some of the prize money for your troubles?? you will be missed love you long time boetie
