QuoteQuoteExactly. If it works ... don't fix it.
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." -

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." -

Do you have a sugar daddy to pay for it for me as well?

QuoteI think it'd be easier to tell if any passengers (or students, depending on your approach) have had a guy orgasm while on a jump.

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." -

QuoteThx for the compliments...but not too big resources here... the shots in the beginning on the runway are taken from my powered paraglider , also the exit shot is taken from under canopy and the rest are freefall shots.( most shots are taken with a 5Dmk2 with various lenses),no gyro stabilized shots from other airplanes..
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." -

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?

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.

QuoteI predict 1/5/12 as the date of the first misogynistic Shah rant against female engineers.
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.

QuoteThis may be a bit to the side of what you are talking about, but I've found that there's a bunch of companies, most of them are what I consider to be rogue companies, are buying up the domains and trying to resell them for greatly inflated prices.
For example, I had a domain that was used for a local race track that I did the site for, then due to the river washing out a side of the facility, the track was forced to close, so the decision was made to let the site and domain go rather than to renew it. Then, at just about the time the domain expired, I started receiving emails from companies that were trying to resell me the domain that I was letting go of. The problem with this is that I bought it from Godaddy for like $10, and these fools were trying to sell it back to me for over $250, and one email claimed a price of $595! Unbelievable!
I don't know if it's some kinda black market situation or what, but if anyone get's contacted by these companies, delete the email! It's a scam!
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." -

My students were taught to ignore the radio if they figured the instructions they were getting were incorrect. A student landing off the DZ is usually landing out of sight, and the operator can not know where the canopy is taking him.
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." -

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." -
QuoteQuote>Told them if you don't know what altitude you are at how are you supposed to
>know how to react in case of emergency?
I very much hope that students are not taught that they need an altimeter to react correctly in case of emergency! 99.9% of the time it's very simple:
1) No canopy after 5 seconds? Cut away and deploy your reserve.
2) Malfunction? Cut away and deploy your reserve.
3) Does not pass control check? Cut away and deploy your reserve.
Nothing in there about altitude. It is VERY rare that a student would need an altimeter to make a decision during an emergency.
>Asked them what to do after opening canopy. Again they forgot altitudecheck.
Why do you need to check your altitude after you open? It doesn't matter at that point.
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." -
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.

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."
Why is tandem customer called a student?
in Tandem Skydiving
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.
