  1. As far as I know, EVERY tandem jump at my home DZ involves the same instruction that I had. When my late wife made a tandem, that is what she did. When my current GF did a tandem there, that is what she did. that does not even begin to answer my question. Okay, lets analyze this. For EVERY tandem jump? Yes, he said EVERY tandem jump at his DZ Or just Tandems conducted in a manner similar to yours? Yes, he said "all had the same instruction as I had". What about the packages that meet their instructors on the way to the plane. Whose instruction consisted of "cross your arms and lift your legs". At his DZ the packages had the same instruction as he had. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."
  2. exactly, like belly reserves. and round mains and big puffy jumpsuits Belly reserves morphed into back reserves for comfort and cosmetic reasons, not because they were better or worse. Round mains became square mains because they were more responsive, and more fun. It took a while for skydivers to decide that the better control with tight jumpsuits outweighed the supposed benefits of longer freefall times. Two of the three above were better with the changes, so "fixing it" was a good choice. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."
  3. Exactly. If it works ... don't fix it. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."
  4. His point may be about downloading Youtube videos. I'm not sure. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."
  5. Stupid question here - where are the cache files located (in Windows)? "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."
  6. She said "I love this skydive" She said "I hate this skydive" She said "I love this skydive" She said "I hate this skydive" She said "I love this skydive" She said "I hate this skydive" She said "I love this skydive" She said "I hate this skydive" She said "I love this skydive" She said "I hate this skydive" "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."
  7. Do you have a sugar daddy to pay for it for me as well? Do you have a slot available? "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."
  8. The house that Ferris Buehler's friend Cameron lived in is also for sale. Minus the Ferrari California though. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."
  9. Did you catch the part where he tried to sell shower curtain rings to the teenage girl as bracelets? Boy, I hope I remembered that right. Maybe I need to watch the movie again. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."
  10. They say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
  11. The really GOOD freefall photographers don't need gyro stabilized anything. Next time you watch a jerky video remember what Brunos videos look like. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."
  12. Are there any male dogs in the house with her? "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."
  13. I saw this when it came up on my Facebook page. Excellent video! I especially liked the shot of the propeller turning. They mounted a GoPro to the tip of the propeller? Cool idea. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."
  14. I'm driving to work tomorrow. Maybe I should start looking for an automobile sponsor. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."
  15. I would go with an external hard drive. You can get 1 terabyte hard drives for maybe $100. Smaller gigabyte sized drives are cheaper. That's what I use and it hasn't let me down yet. I have relatively small storage demands and also have a couple large thumb drives so I can have several copies of things I don't want to lose. add : Sorry, I forgot to include in the message that I have no idea how robust SD cards are. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

    Well, technically speaking, all he is promising himself is that he will be nice to engineers. That does not stop him from coming on here and complaining about them. See, loopholes can be found anywhere, "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."
  17. Then please translate for us. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."
  18. It's not a scam. It is an opportunistic group that hopes to make a profit from somebody that possibly hasn't kept up with their recordkeeping and allowed their domain name to expire. It only costs them $10 to snap it up and they may get lucky with 1 out of 50 grabs. A scam would be if they sold you a domain name they hold (or maybe don't hold) but don't deliver. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."
  19. Interesting. If your students can determine what instructions are incorrect why do they need instructions at all? If a student is out of sight I certainly hope that the guy on the radio is not still giving instructions. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."
  20. 200. Silly boy. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."
  21. From Roscoe, South Dakota, to college in Houston 1300 miles non-stop several times, in a car and even on a motorcycle. Then just a couple years ago I rode a motorcycle again 800 miles from Louisville, Ky to the Hudson Valley of New York, non-stop. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."
  22. I cannot believe you said any of that. Oh, it's a test, right? Okay, Mr. popsjumper. Educate us. What is wrong with what billvon said? I agree completely with him on this. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."
  23. I have an Icon and will most likely use the manual I got with the rig many years ago. What do you think the problem is with the triangular method? Putting 3 full twists in the bridle doesn't seem to be any kind of a problem to me. The reserve should follow the pilot chute out with or without some twists in the bridle. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."
  24. Sweet! This stuff is amazing, so amazing that my non-skydiver friends insist it is faked in some way. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."
