  1. guys! stop the all violence. Its going to be a good day
  2. yeah it would be a shame to give a qualified twotter pilot upwards $100 day Na' Cho' Cheese
  3. oh dude youre absolutely right. but I personally would start talking to a rigger about packing them right, before blaming the pop-top. The same can be done to a wings/javelin/mirage etc. it just may be a little harder to do. but you are right that it is easier to over tighten a poptop Na' Cho' Cheese
  4. can she pull 22lbs worth of D-ring? probably... did the rigger pack it right? probably...not.... don't hate the playa hate the game Wings are good rigs too Na' Cho' Cheese
  5. well obviously I'm biased but will tell you there is not an incident on a racer that is due to its design. I think its a great rig. Na' Cho' Cheese
  6. I'm a 3rd generation skydiver. Its pretty funny... my dad took me on my first tandem and then a couple years later I took my dad on a tandem to get my rating. pic one is my dad TI and me chasing pic two is faja and I on my tandem qualifying jump Na' Cho' Cheese
  7. have fun! apologize to keith for me for not getting together together and jumping with him Na' Cho' Cheese
  8. snaps on the slider.... very old school. Nice way to go back a couple decades. http://performancedesigns.com/docs/Comp_Velocity_Flight_Characteristics.PDF (half way down) Edited for the packer Na' Cho' Cheese
  9. I heard he was the midwest freefly legend. Na' Cho' Cheese
  10. contact precision. IMO they make the best one. Inexpensive too. I want to say $200 or $250. They come in 2 sizes and I used the smaller size for a velo 75 all the way up to a velo 96. Na' Cho' Cheese
  11. can someone tell me exactly how those free miles work. I travel a lot but do not have the frequent flyer mile stuff figured out. Can anyone explain it to me? Na' Cho' Cheese
  12. yes. you have to get a coach rating before any other rating ie static line, iad, aff, and tandem. Na' Cho' Cheese
  13. pretty much everything indyz said but I'm just finishing up my tandem rating. So far my cost is a little under $1000 1 solo, 1 as passanger, and 8 with exp jumper=18 slots last I checked you weren't allowed to have video until you had 10 tandem jumps. $25 per jump for gear rental and I packed my own. USPA is $40 Medical I already had which is anywhere from $60-$100 and then course fees will vary Na' Cho' Cheese
  14. I liked the in and out because I would think we will start seeing some vertical transitions. The eagle random looks pretty fun too! Na' Cho' Cheese
  15. Racer freefly pull out. Works great! Na' Cho' Cheese
  16. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ui68MWjlxfM I would Na' Cho' Cheese
  17. Brian Vacher Tommy Dellibac Pablo Hernandez Jessica Edgeington back up is Ian drennan and Jens thorgeson congrats and we hate you all Na' Cho' Cheese
  18. its cold enough that I'm shivering... Na' Cho' Cheese
  19. Yeah those damn naggers really annoy me.... alls they do nag nag nag. edit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zC0bndcQ3YU Na' Cho' Cheese
  20. HAHA thats awesome! EDIT: I had to check a map to actually see how debatable it was... I would say that ground launching a canopy will actually get less wear and tear than normal skydiving provided you don't try groundlaunching for nasty course surface. I think opening shock degrades the material more than anything. Na' Cho' Cheese
  21. I know you didn't mention it but I have 1000 jumps on with a factory diver and I like it because its simple, the shield doesn't blow up, and its not as big and bulky as some with the flip up lens. IMO the flip ups are little overated. You can have a factory diver on top of your head like a hat. Pull it down and your ready to go. Na' Cho' Cheese
  22. here's mine with magnets. Pretty neat Na' Cho' Cheese
  23. Right when I heard that I had an awesome flash back to the awards ceremony. Freaking great time and thanks for posting those! Na' Cho' Cheese
