  1. Well I'm 17. Respect your elders! Na' Cho' Cheese
  2. I'm the only kid that posts on here.... Na' Cho' Cheese
  3. The M1 becomes a camera helmet with the flatlock/adapter. Everything seems to be going topmount anyways. No sacrifices with the M1. Na' Cho' Cheese
  4. I think it has to do more with groundlaunching skillz than snowboarding skillz. I watched a good snowboarder eat shit every time at last years blade raid. Get familiar with regular ground launching before trying it on a board. The half twist in the risers definately plays a major role. Na' Cho' Cheese
  5. Power racer NOS, Optimum 99, and Xaos27 71 would be my dream container. Na' Cho' Cheese
  6. pretty similar but I rip off my right arm since I'm left handed. Na' Cho' Cheese
  7. Uuuuhm. Yeah I don't really get it? 13 to 1 maybe? Na' Cho' Cheese

  12. So whats the price going to be for a lift ticket after oct 15 Na' Cho' Cheese
  13. Dude get your facts together before saying things so positively. It says right in the SIM that the age limit is 16 with parental consent. And of course this is USPA 'rules' that should not be confused with FAA law, or even state to state legality. As a personal note I'm 17years old and have jumped at many different USPA dropzones. Sometimes its as easy as anybody else and others its a royal pain in the arse to get special waivers etc etc. And there's still some where they simply won't let me jump until I'm 18. If there's a will there's a way. I couldn't imagine waiting till I was 18 to start jumping. Na' Cho' Cheese
  14. Not entirely true. I've done it for a few dropzones. But it did take more than just, "papapapapleeeaaase!" Na' Cho' Cheese
  15. Yeah I would hope its a mis-communication as well. When we competed in Advanced against even Jedi it was clear that they could have killed many teams that were in open. Looking at this video. Not sure how recent it was it seems like the team (some mandrin team) could easily contend with Arsenal and XP http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVE-_FGUXB8 Na' Cho' Cheese
  16. 4 gay guys walk into a bar. There's one stool left. How do they all sit down? They flip the stool upside down Na' Cho' Cheese
  17. Yep they definately rock! I smashed my viso on the ground swooping at LMPC and they're fixing it for me for free. Na' Cho' Cheese
  18. I agree that jumpers have to discuss delays and wingloadings that pertain to exit order. And maybe even if some jumpers want to spiral as opposed to keeping the spirals to a limit. But also you have to give way to jumpers that need it. Using an excuse that you attempting a high perf manuever and your visibility is bad is not the brightest. One should know all the variables and account for them. Personally I try to either be the very first or the very last to land when doing some hiper manuever. Sometimes I end up in the middle and have to make sure I will never conflict with other jumpers in the pattern. Na' Cho' Cheese
  19. xaos 68 super man and then into a back yard demo Na' Cho' Cheese
  20. dude I watch light people doing solos on the tandem rigs and watch the end cells collapse and reinflate. Thats kind of scary. Na' Cho' Cheese
  21. I also think it a different ruling from state to state. As a D licensed underage (17 yrs old) skydiver I've been turned away from group member dropzones because I can't sign away my rights and neither can my parants. Na' Cho' Cheese
  22. It would be interesting to test manufactures slider size. I'm not sure about PD or icarus/Daaudalus but I know for a fact the precision only has 2 slider sizes for all the xaos canopies. And like many others, we've tried different canopies with the same size RDS As for rocket science/surgery I don't know what kind of R&D takes place. one extreme to the other would be just taking 4 grommets and some material and hoping it works and the other would be like some weird computer system to do calculations (if any) Na' Cho' Cheese
