  1. probably.... ask hecker...
  2. Hello... I am a professional photographer, and photoshop professional... (ask jaap) I specialize in image manipulation/restoration, buisness publicity, product/commercial photography, youth sports, events/volume work, weddings...you get the idea... We run a full service studio in Orange Park Fl.(15 minutes south of Jacksonville) and offer a skydive/base discount... feel free to give us a shout if you're ever in the area, 904.269.1938.... www.flashbackphotography.net also willing to trade for gear or "equivalent"
  3. lol... ive been waiting for jeiber cam footage that was promised after hogflop 2004...so... well see
  4. 1) bridge day 2005 2) hog flop,...
  5. alright... ill try this again since my last post mysteriously "dissappeared"... i hardly think that 1000ft agl opening altitude on a skydiving rig, regardless of main canopy selection, should be considered "wimping out" considering that 1) the main canopy is dbagged... (as far as i know on this particular rig...) skyhook or no 2)1grand is pretty much on the wire between just enough/not enough time to respond to any possible deployment issues and still get a landable canopy out .. 3) was it late in the day? i know it was at the end of the boogie..maybe he didnt feel like tempting fate after a long weekend just because some people on the ground "thought perry was going to dump low.." lets not forget that he also flew same prodigy from 876' ..... there arent many out there who can claim the same... if you want to get into a w/s lowpull contest, perry probably isnt the one you want to challenge... and if you really want to start having fun... lets do it with single parachute systems at the beach. drunk.
  6. yeehaw... that first trailer is right after a 3way me steve-p, and chino did... thats steve getting his nose broke by some dude totally not paying attention... target fiaxation is can be a bitch...;
  7. add tard and rollover to list...
  8. me:dude.. im like, so high right now, its ridiculous... dude: well we ARE at 1800 ft.. true story...
  9. this is essentially what i meant.. there are obviously the big three..(or four).. s/l, pca(proper) s/u, s/d this would obviously vary a bit depending on delay, so i guess to keep it simple to start, assume gonthrow, all deployments from same object.... if you really wanted to dig in you could start comparing gear configurations, but that seems almost redundant... most modern gear is going to be similar, with exception of vents/novents... but, it is the weekend now (almost) so fuck it... go outside and play...
  10. id have taken the docks.... just one actually, and set it up longways..
  11. the s/l thread got me thinking... what are the differences in different deployment method/configuration openings.. (i realize there wil be anomalies and variations by canopy/options etc..) maybe a chart of some sort....
  12. who is the baloon pilot? is there any way we can speak with him? i have a few questions, that only he could answer.... pm if you want...
  13. does anyone have an extra rig 190sq ft, for a close personal friend of mine to use? he sold his gear months ago, (gf 7months pregnant)and has been renting to jump, money is tight fr both of us.. his best friend, him, and i were all supposed to come to flop for bestfriends aff1, but bestfriend died in a motorcycle accident saturday night..... ... so. were going to do some runthroughs for an ash dive we want to do, and dont want to have to go to deland during the flop... if anyone out there has gear we can use on sat. after the funeral or sunday-day, the favor would go a long way with him and me both.... take advantage of every second, and live each day as if it was your last... thanks a million -b
  14. sometimes nick, i think you save your nuggets for the right moment...spot on edit to add: maybe jaap can add "to agnos" in the wiki... as in "to agnos: to completely disregard currently respected and recognized ethics, saftey measures, and basic precautions.,"
  15. i like the platform in 28...nice A...daybase is best...
  16. do what you think is right...why do you need a poll on some website to determine the best course of action for your personal life? youve only known girl for 3 weeks....
  17. so much mud-slinging, self righteousness, and unimportant crap... "your political/religous views/beliefs are wrong you fool.." does anyone ever tire of this? whynot respect others for who they are? i read that once upon a time skydivers were a brotherhood....
  18. regardless of what happened to me last weekend, my post was intended more as a reminder to the risk-taking devil-may-care crowd that I choose to run with, that anything can happen at any time, so be fucking careful, and maybe think twice next time around...... but you know, thanks anyway jaap...hope youre never in my shoes, and keep your sympathy to yourself... -some fucker
  19. 'nuff said...... be careful out there folks... big brother is watching you... (what a shitty fucking weekend..)
  20. whats the difference between a truck full of bowlingballs and truck full of dead babies? you cant unload the bowlingballs with a pitchfork...
