Dang, I just bought my T1i a month ago . It doesn't look like I'll really miss anything it's got compared to my T1i, except it's a few ounces heavier. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.

It was probably the skydiver sticker on the trunk lid that saved her . "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.

Thanks Terry! I understand the LZ is 1 mile + by 1mile+ and the whle thing is being organized by the military at Ft. Knox. I also like that one of my coach course instructors will be there with me. :) I hope you don't miss it by a mile . "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane.

I like the idea of limiting us to two entries, and making the voting anonymous. I just hope you don't start whatever contest you decide on until our season starts.

Milla Jovovich as "Alice" in Resident Evil. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.

It is also: A darn good time, especially around July 4th. Hard to keep enough people from drinking after sunset to get a load together, which makes it even more special when you actually get to do one.

I am currently using Elements 3, and need to upgrade to AVCHD for my CX100. I was going to order the Photoshop/Premeire 8 combo for $149, but last night I saw the 7 combo for $119 after a mail in rebate. Is it worth the extra money for 8, or can I spend that $30 on memory cards instead? "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane.

CSC perhaps? Nope, but you're close. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.

It was doing goofy stuff for me today too. When I tried to check my notifications it said "You must be logged in to do that". How didI get to the page if I wasn't logged in?

By recycling do you mean the wrap 'em back up and sell them for $3 again? "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.

I've never been able to get on level with my main, let alone above it, in order to see it land first, you guys are lucky. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.

Kickstart my Heart. Misunderstood is pretty good too. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.

I've got 1 jump on my R-max 168 @ 1.6 W/L. I spent most of my ride in 3/4 brakes staying with my main. I was surprised that I was able to stay with it, until I let it fly to enter my landing pattern. Did a fun little 45 degree flare turn, no problems. I love my new R-max, it flies much better than my old Raven 1. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane.

Yes, a long time ago. It's one of those movies that sounds stupid, but isn't when you actually watch it. Not as good as Traffic, but better than Castaway. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.

The TI's in Angola have the student pick their feet up first, then have them grab their own harness. With the student hanging completely from the TI it's just a regular poised exit. They found it's easier on the students to pick up their feet before letting go of the strut. Holding onto their harness keeps their hands out of the way, and less likely to grab stuff they shouldn't.

So the weights don't resist acceleration down the lines, keeping the slider against the stops longer, to make it open slower? I thought one of the manufacturers said that the stainless grommets increase opening speed because of the lower friction against the lines. Doesn't the canopy spreading out above the slider propel the slider down the lines? I didn't think gravity had anything to do with the slider speed.

why should this be a contradiction? would you quit teaching body position just because one pax went fetal? Apparently that is the case with some TM's, in regards to giving the student the option to pull. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.

Now that's funny . I wondered how common this really is since I have only heard stories and not seen it in person. It sounds like it does happen, but not often enough to use it as an excuse for not giving the student the option of pulling. One TM I know that says it has happened to him (and I believe him) still insists on giving the students the option to pull. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane.

How many times have you witnessed a tandem canopy at full altitude because the student pulled right out the door? I've heard TM's say they don't give the student the option of pulling because they've had students pull right out of the door. I've never seen it myself, but I haven't been around that long either.

From what I remember it was a student with some military experience. The TI quit talking under canopy, the student flew them to an open field and gave the TI CPR, TI didn't make it. There's got to be a compromise between a one minute briefing in the plane and teaching a first jump course. I like Skydive Chicago's tandem operation. They have one person that teaches a class for several groups of students that covers basic stuff and gets the simple questions out of the way, then the TI gets them for a few minutes to go over everything right before boarding. Is that what your GCO's do? "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.

Congrats Lew, you're awesome! My favorite is the, "Instructor stole my shoe". "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.

Wasn't there an incident recently where the TI was unconscious (heart attack) under canopy and the student landed himself due in part to his pre-jump briefing?

No matter what the exhaust will remove the breathable air, there's very little oxygen in exhaust gas. The BB sniper riffle idea would be more fun though, maybe you could have a party and invite your friends over, or charge them admission. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane.
