  1. I have seen that before when on the Javelin containers. It can happen when riggers get sloppy putting the bag and risers in. Especially if they leave too much line hanging out between the top of the riser and the stow pocket on the bag.
  2. Well I got 2nd in the main and late games....so not a bad night.
  3. I'm there!!! I can't wait to donate my cash to some lucky jumper.
  4. yes this is on pokerstars. It is a money game $5.00 buy in...just go to touneyments and click on private and scroll down to the dropzone.com game that you want in to.
  5. I didn't see Skydive Radio set up anything so I have the regular Main and Late games Dropzone.com Main #137230430 at 21:00ET or 8PM CT Password is toggle Dropzone.com Late #137230943 at 22:30ET or 9:30PM CT password is toggle See you all there and hopefully I last longer than I did the last two weeks!!
  6. OK...sounds like you do have the manufacturers rating....a United Parachute Technologies(the former Relative Workshop) examiner had to have done your tandem rating course and you should have received a rating card from UPT(or relative workshop at the time). If that is the case then to get a USPA tandem rating is as simple as sitting thru alittle 1 on 1 class with an examiner and filling out a USPA proficency card. The jumps that you did to get you initial rating can used for the USPA rating..
  7. I'm a Vector/Sigma Examiner and my first question would be ...Do you have a current Vector/Sigma rating from UPT?....if so then then getting the USPA tandem instructor rating is relatively cheap and easy.
  8. I'm definitly in the main tonight and if I get knocked out as quickly this week as last week, then I'll be in the late too.
  9. I haven't seen any posts from skydive radio about setting up the regular Thursday poker tourneys so I went ahead and set up the Main and Late games. Dropzone.com Main is at 21:00 ET password is toggle tourney # 132627535 Dropzone.com Late is at 22:30 ET password toggle tourney # 132627650 Both of then are No Limit this time...last time was my mistake making the Late game a limit game(too much booze before setting it up)
  10. Late game has been set-up for 10:15 central time password toggle
  11. 2 in so far....come on people, it's poker time!!!
  12. Ok...here is the tourney info 12/25/08 at 9:00 PM ET, 8:00 pm Central Dropzone.com Main password is toggle Buy in $5.00 tourney # 129320807 I'll see you all there----(don't forget pokerstars runs on Eastern Time)
  13. For all of us that are Christmas scrooges or have nothing better to do....Is anyone interested in a thrusday poker game? If so I can set one up and post the info here.
  14. Thats not uncommon for the air bags not to deploy in a glancing blow like the one you experienced in your accident.I know "glancing" makes it sound soft, But I do understand the impact your body felt. Your airbag sensor however doesn't sense what you feel unfortunately, it just fires when it's speed and deceleration parameters are met.
  15. yeah we had 6 of the regulars....once again I ended up in 2nd.
  16. Anyone interested in poker tonight??? If so I can set a game up under DropZone.com. Start around 8PM central time password will be toggle tourment #123290188
  17. My friend got busted last year at the exact same stop on Tumbleweed drive. He did end up with a DUI and spent the night in jail and the cops DID admit that they are ordered to patrol that area to cause trouble to the skydivers. It seems that the City of Eloy isn't real happy with the DZ and wants to cause some disruption.
  18. Sorry man....I was so ready to take you out too, but had a family emergency so it looks like I'll have to bounty hunt you next week.
  19. I need help finding Cobalt color Z-Po....It's an older PD color that they don't use anymore and of course I get an older Sabre that needs patched and it's Cobalt. All PD uses anymore is turquoise and I do have that and compared it. It's definitly too dark. Is there any rigger out there, who happens to have Cobalt Z-Po that they would be willing to sell?
  20. Thanks for the bounty Billy.....I might have got taken out early in the main game but came back for the win in the late game.... Now I'm looking foreward to collecting next weeks bounty. I'll be pissed if we start on different tables and you go out early. Hell the bounty is almost as much as the 1st place pay off probly will be.
  21. I was distracted by beer and on-line porn(damn Dr.Dive and his suggestions)....But a 2nd in the main and a 3rd in the late isn't a bad night.
  22. I don't disagree with you....it could be just the camera angle. But just something to think about. His breaks aren't unstowed and his body position does kinda suggest a harness correction to the right and lets not forget about the last fatality in Elsinore. A highly experienced jumper under a small ellipical, loosened his chest strap, stowed his slider, unhooked his wings and didn't realize he had a canopy problem until he released his brakes.
