17 years. Still think about you buddy. 

NowAndLater

YEA!!! Let's get SERIOUS!!! Kill thousands of innocent people and put the world at risk..

Edit: typo.

hey, if you want to make an omelette you gotta break a few eggs. The only thing putting the world at risk are people allowing these animal to spend one more day breathing. They are lopping off heads of young children for fucks sake. Lets wipe them all off the planet. Every. Last. One.

If you have roaches in your house you exterminate all of them. Some may just be sleeping in your walls not bothering anyone, but you still kill them.

Nuke the entire mid east and we'd be off to a good start. How much longer are we going to screw around over there wasting time, lives, and money. Lets get serious already.

Lol....what a load of horseshit.

They do own it, now (while it sucks) and in the future (when it gets better.)

That's a massive strategic mistake by the GOP. By trying to hang it around Obama's neck, they will forever associate it with him. And in 20 years, when Obamacare is simply the way US healthcare runs, Obama will be remembered as the guy who started the system.

"But this modern system has nothing to do with Obama! We helped fix it!" the GOP presidential candidate will cry. "Stop claiming that the democrats did all this. We did the hard part by fixing his lousy system!" And he will be 25 years too late.

lol...the laws of economics are as reliable as the laws of physics. Im no rocket scientist...but im fairly sure flat balls dont bounce.

It takes a pretty damn arrogant SOB to straight up lie to the ENTIRE COUNTRY and think everything will be good to go

Our supreme leader is an idiot.

now, im sure this has been brought up here before..but given the soon to be debt ceiling clusterfuck, how can anybody defend and or support a president that pulls this sort of shit?

It really is sad how out of touch the general population is with who, what and why our nation is the way it is these days. If a small portion of truth made it to the the evening network news everyday...things might be different.

edit: and lets also not forget that he as a Senator voted to NOT INCREASE THE DEBT CEILING!
Hypocrisy at its finest!

Do the poor care about the poor? There was a time when the USA was a nation of doers, a nation where people would do whatever it took to better themselves and their families. But the USA is slowly turning into a nation of takers, people who are dependent on their government entitlements.

Neither the Donkeys nor the Elephants have a positive track record to run on. But what is more laughable than these two sad sack political entities is the fact that there are a growing number of people who will sit back, do nothing to better themselves and expect one of these two political entities to deliver them entitlements promised on the campaign trail.

This is the most accurate statement in this entire thread.

No one actually knows what happened to Pop. He had moved back to Texas, gotten clean and sober and was packing out at Spaceland. Then he was dead and his family refused to tell anyone anything about it. Friends contacted the family and said his friends were hurting and wanted to know so they could have some closure and the family shut out all the skydivers.

Are you f-ing serious?

I've been thinking of you lately Cliffy....i havent made a skyjump in months and its starting to piss me off. What the was the name of that really demented japanese movie again?? I've drank a crap load of your least favorite beer tonight. I'll catch up with you later....

I had the opportunity to jump a main with the brake lines not routed through the slider last year. The opening was like getting hit by a truck. I broke one steering line and was so dazed I didn't realize it until I was too low to consider cutting away. I can't imagine the jolt you would get on a reserve rigged like this. The rigger who assembled this should have to jump it.

im no rigger, but wouldn't the brake line NOT being routed through the slider in fact SLOW the opening? the tail of a parachute, if im correct, is the main driving force to send the slider down.

there are a couple of motels close by that are dog friendly. i stayed at the motel 6 and left the filthy dog in there with the AC bumpin.

Where do you usually abort your high speed landing approach if you see that your are way to low?
Traffic is not an issue here.

sometime before smashing into the ground. If you smash in and then try to correct it....you were too late.

i want to get some time under a X-fire2 but Icarus' demo program blows. so, if you have a XF2 149 you would want to trade for a nitron150 for a little while that would be sweet.

dudes...it will happen again at 2 in the afternoon.

I laugh at the people that have ~100 jump or less and decide to go get a tattoo of something skydiving related. In 2-3 years odds are they will have quit the sport and are now left with a tattoo that in noway relates to something they are still involved in.

its not about where ya are...its where ya been.

ive got a little bit of ink. each piece is a reminder of where i once was...you know, bouncing along through life. ive only been jumping for 2.5 years, dont have any skydive related ink.

skydiving has dominated a large portion of my life for these last years. ive met some of the greatest people i ever could have met. you bet your ass that ill have some sort of large piece of artwork drilled into me at some point that tells a tale of falling out of planes and off stuff. even if i do hang it up some years down the line. ive got some pretty crazy shit tattooed on myself, but i dont regret any of it.

ok, im done.

The breaker to my living room just blew. I reset it at the box but it went again about 5 min later. Now it will not reset at all. The switch will not lock like it should. If I push it over it just goes back to orange. Is there anything I can do or do I need to call someone in? I need light. Extension cord got the TV going though.

you have a short somewhere. the breaker is doing its job. if you dont know anything about electricy you should call someone who does.

you can verify that it is the circuit and not the breaker by shutting off the main( if you can). once the power has been killed to the panel try and reset the breaker in question. if it will stay in the 'on' position without power to that circuit you have a short. breakers do go bad...but rarely.

dont burn your house down.

never flown either, but the liquor store down the street from me has some of the coldest beer ive ever had!!

does this help?

I could be wrong, but im not so sure that was done in CO.

a major commitment is hookers and blow, hookers and blow, hookers and blow!!!

There was a big slump after the crossifre bullitens. After that Wyat took over the US end of service and support... .

Thats great. However, when i wanted to demo an Icarus canopy NOBODY called me back. I called SD which is where Wyat is from and.......nothing. Icarus blows fat monkey balls as far as im concerned. The Icarus website blows and their customer service blows. save yopurself a huge headache and buy anything but an Icarus canopy.
