  1. One of these weekends I am going to go up there. _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity

  3. On a side note: When I ride roller coasters (big fan) I usually wear my contacts with tight fitting sunglasses to help protect against them flying out (most coasters do about 40-80 MPH). Last year I went to take a ride on the fast roller coaster in the world (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingda_Ka), to which I waited 6 hours to do so, and they wouldn't let you ride with anything in your pockets or on your head which ment no glasses. Surprisingly at 125 MPH my contacts stayed in and didn't fly off. _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity
  4. I switched to wearing contacts over my glasses at the begining of last season with no issues at all. I use Acuvue 2 lenses and they have never fallen out. They are a lot more comfortable then wearing glasses while jumping. _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity
  5. If separating the landing areas into two different zones (one for non-HP landings the other for HP landings) is all it's going to take then I am all for it. As I mentioned before I don't want to die because of someone elses neglect as much as I believe no one wants to kills an innocent person. But how much of a DZ's landing area do we give to HP pilots and non-HP pilots? Should there be a certain distances between them? What if a certain DZ's landing area is too small to accommadate both types of pilots? I only have 2 years in this sport. I have jumped at 5 DZ's out of hundreds. So if my questions seem stupid or out of line just let me know. Share the knowledge. _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity
  6. Andrew, I agree with you, it does concern everyone which is why I believe pilots from both sides should be included. DSE, I noticed the low D numbers right away. While the does show input from long time jumpers, it doesn't show there currency or there participation in certain disciplines. Someone with a low D number could have made 200 jumps 20 years ago and haven't made one since then. Bill posted this document up on dz.com for disscussion ( as stated in the begining of his post) so I am just adding my 2 cents (whatever they might be worth). As I said before I am a wannbe swooper and therefor I would like to know that there will be a place for it when I reach the experience level to which I feel comfortable enough to pursue it. Until then I can only count on the experienced pilots of today to ensure a certain level of "fairness" in the rules. _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity
  7. I would just like to know who the people are who are writing this up. I don't think it's a rediculious question to ask. If this is an "issue with everyone under a canopy" situation then I think that every needs to have a say including jumpers who perform high performance landings routinely. I wouldn't want people with solely RW experience to write the rules regarding a VRW competition in the same way I wouldn't want people with 5,000 staight in landings to dictate rules with no input from pilots who perform high performance landings. I agree that something needs to be done. I don't want to die because of someone elses neglect. I also agree that what Bill posted seems pretty fair to all pilots. But considering I am not a swooper (would like to be one day) I would like to know that the rules to a degree satisfy everyone. Maybe I am playing the devil's advocate (not really trying too) so if I am out of line with these questions then I will stop. _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity
  8. Bill, You list 8 people who contributed to drafting this document. What are the stats of these people (number of jumps/years in sport/canopy/disciplines practiced)? Also of these 8 people do any of them routinely perform high performance landings? _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity
  9. Stick with the stick. I had an 88 mustang GT S/C'ed with a 5 speed. I sold that for a 2004 Xterra Auto. I loved the truck but hated the auto so I ditched it and purchased a 2007 MS3 with a 6 speed. I won't be going back to an auto for a long time. _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity
  10. I jump a 2006 Javelin Odyssey. It is a really comfortable rig. My next rig will be an Infinity. I tried one on the other day and fell in love. _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity
  11. You can try scam busting this guys. I actually consider it a hobby. Check out this sites: www.419eaters.com www.419baiter.com http://www.scambuster419.co.uk/ _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity
  12. About 2 years ago I deposited the majority of my money into a high yield savings account from HSBC (www.us.hsbc.com). I earn anywhere between %5.00-%6.00 percent on my money throughout the year. I have made hundreds of dollars of interest with this account. Plus unlike a CD you can take your money as please (and usually the interest rate is as good if not better then a CD). The only thing you really need is an exsisting checking account to transfer money from. I have checking account with Washington Mutual to which I deposit all my money into then do a quick online bank-bank transfer of however much I need. The bank-bank transfer is done automatically, you just type in how much and in 3 days it's in your account. _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity

  14. That would guarantee a severe beat down by the "let's roll" passenger types. BTW, does the "may not be worn in flight" rule change if the plane is going down? If the plane is going down I think all rules are out the door. A while ago I got asked this question by my whuffo g/f "If the plane was going down would you give me your parachute or would you just leave me?". I still haven't given her an answer. _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity

  17. I am pretty sure that the list is for dz.commers who are coming, not just anyone who you can think of. _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity

  19. i'd think you'd have to be a very experience skydiver to be able to get close enough to the wing to hit it! is there a jumpship in common use where hitting the wing is an issue? the tail maybe.... The tail on the King Air is pretty low. _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity
  20. And how do you have 5100 jumps and can't even hold a sit? _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity
  21. Bingo... _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity
  22. What we really need to RAW footage of any malfunctions, AFF videos, student exits, and any other material that might help out new comers. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone could send us any RAW footage that you might have. I would like to make this DVD as clear as possible. I will not be making any money off this DVD and would be happy to send any contributors a finalized copy when it's finished. Please contact me if you can be of any help. _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity
  23. I think the most important task will be to get these rednecks some real pizza. There were actually people at the Freeflight Festival who thought that Dominos was pizza. _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity

  25. My new ride. 2007 Mazdaspeed 3. Cold air intake is coming on Thursday. My cousin just traded his 06 2dr Civic Si for a 07 4dr Civic Si. Both nice cars but lack some power. _________________________________________ www.myspace.com/termvelocity
