  1. Common sense could have done the job.
  2. Errr...my interest wasn't in the money either. But I have neurotic issues and I would be happier packing my own reserve. Furthermore...I would consider BASE as an alternative for (the seeminly obligatory disciplines that are) freefly and swooping. The Anglosaxon Base crew seem to think it's not a bad idea to become a rigger if you're considering BASE. Anyway: - Becoming a rigger was not really the issue at hand (but it is interesting nevertheless) - This is merely for future reference

    I believe he is saying just that skreamer
  4. I see. So people do it all the time. Yes that's why I would like to become a rigger once I start skydiving. Pack my own reserve. But from what I hear, it would make my reserve packs REAAAAALLLYY expensive if I became a rigger just to pack my own reserve...
  5. Here's a whuffo quesion for you. Please do answer me though. Can't you just turn your AAD off? I mean there isn't like a inspector at the dropzone who checks people's gear everytime they jump is there? If it's a money thing...just stick in an AAD that's out of date and swich it off.
  6. Mind...I don't mean during freefall. I just mean before you take it in for a repack you just testpull it on the ground to see if it opens (well...the first part anyway) Because I heard a story here on DZ of a guy who took in his reserve and decided to pull it just for the hell of it. The thing didn't do shit because of a lead seal. It doesn't matter what it was for this discussion so don't go there. Let's just say the rigger made a mistake. Now I would think it to be a damn good idea to pull your reserve every time you take it in, just to see if the rigger is doing his job. No? (disclaimer: I don't know anything about reserves)
  7. Very, very different and weird. Some cool urban/industrial sites though.
  8. And the point of it all? Or better yet, why and how did the interview happen? He's kinda weird. Seems like a nice guy though. Don't think this is gonna help him should this vid reach the "people's" attorney... I liked the tar and feather remark.
  9. I will disrespect the hell out of each and every one of my brothers on the List if doing so will keep any others from joining them. Edit. you know what...nevermind. I really have no business telling you people what to do. If you ask me...it's no longer about saving lives, but about having your opinions heard. Saving lives could have been done in 3 posts. But I realize I'm doing just what I'm accusing (well...that's a bit harsh but still) some of you of, so my apologies and I'll keep the rest to myself.
  10. Yes. You people keep repeating how much respect you have for this guy's parents yet you cant refrain from summing up every goddamn thing he did wrong in the past, dragging in the mentor etc. All in the name of education and future reference... Who are you kidding?

    I hope your mentor likes Drama. HAVE FUN!
  13. Or is it a sharp object up the ass thing? The dude probably just wants to practice his hobby just like everybody else. Maybe make a few bucks whilest doing it. If you don't want to be a part of that, ok. But I don't see the purpose of being all "FUCK YOU VULTURE, HELL NO WE WONT GO"

    That appartment you occupy wouldn't happen to be a Penthouse® would it?
  15. I wouldn't brush my teeth with a depleted uranium toothbrush...
  16. HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Funny shit. Not really though and you should stop whining about things that haven't happened (yet) *Yaaaaawn*
  17. Yeah...next time just say "Shut the fuck up faggot" and that'll be the end of it. You can get drunk together, have a good laugh about it all and all will be fine. Communication people! Are we not human?
  18. Luckily your president doesn't mind a couple of thousand dying in the desert over a few barrels of oil and a nuclear slingshot huh? Might as well put the pedal to the metal if I'm an ass.
  19. Sorry to say but you're being too dramatic.
