Mainly on the NJ side close to NYC and I'll have a car. Not that attracted by jail, so low profile objects prefered. Have fun with your virgins.

Anybody driving from Twin Falls airport to Twin Falls (Motel 6) tonight (Thursday May 25th)? My flight gets there at 9:46 pm. Most of the Norcal crew will drive all night and arrive early Friday morning. I'll owe you a beer. Thanks, Damien 415 517 6155

Indeed, I remember D.J. telling me he bought it from Eric Fradet a while a ago.

We're heading to TF with a bunch of norcal people tonight. But what sucks is that I probably have a muscle or a nerve stuck just bellow my right shoulder blade (haaaard opening a few days ago). It's not very painful except on some very specific moves... I'm definitely gonna take some pain killers before jumping, but if someone has any knowledge about how to put the shit back in place, that'd be great! Reward? Beers of course PM me.

A representative organization should be built with the following characteristics: - board elected for a year (or less or more) by members - no profit - funding and fund management transparent to members - if employees are needed, they shouldn't be part of the board or have any power of decision - all intellectual properties (names, web sites, logos, image, etc) should belong to the organization and not to physical persons These characteristics would guarantee the integrity of such an organization. Democratic election does NOT mean no decisions can be made. The board has the power, for a limited time. If members are not happy about it, the board would not be reelected. The ex-board of the ABP, could naturally become the board of such an organization. Should it represent only backcountry parachutists? For sure, the biggest fight in the US today is with NPS, but wouldn't it be better if this organization was be representing all base jumpers? How many of you are pure backcountry parachutists and not base jumpers? By the way, I would be glad to get my money back from the ABP and give it to an organization that would really represent backcountry parachutists/base jumpers and has an real ethics based on the general interest. Just my thought...

For a 480' fall, with no friction, you do get about 5.5 s (5.46 s) before impact (considering g = 9.81 m/s). So speed (g * t) would be about 53.6 m/s or 120 mph. With the air resistance, after 5.5 s, the actual speed is closer to 90 mph, according to what I know. Air resistance has a significant influence, even after 4 or 5 s of freefall. Though, time before impact will still be under 6 s. Yeah, well, I'm not very helpfull
