I got way too high and drunk at my friends birthday party last night. I really really need to study, but I am lucky I can even type at this moment.

Booooooo that man....

Boooooooooooooooooooooo

Go fuck my finals...

The bomber jump is as far as I know... but if you take the standard deduction and don't itemize it won't help you any way.

HAHA, typical. Ok so the first point is a right hand donut, second point is an open acordian on Jim... [add]oh loook shiney!!!!! [/add]

I love it when people tell you to retrace your steps and think of the last place you saw it!!!!

If I knew where the last place I saw it was, then it wouldn't be lost.

I really wanted to do the bomber jump that was earlier this year in FL... bomber jump with a beach landing.

Too bad I was broke and couldn't get off from work.

HAHA... I never heard of that feature before.

From the BSR's... in the equipment section:

Quote

2. All students are to be equipped with the following equipment until they have obtained a USPA A license:

a. a rigid helmet (except tandem students) [NW]

b. a piggyback harness and container system that includes a single-point riser release and a reserve static line, except: [FB]

(1) A student who has been cleared for freefall self-supervision may jump without a reserve static line upon endorsement from his or her supervising instructor.

(2) Such endorsement may be for one jump or a series of jumps.

c. a visually accessible altimeter [NW]

d. a functional automatic activation device that meets the manufacturer's recommended service schedule [FB]

e. a ram-air main canopy suitable for student use [FB]

f. a steerable reserve canopy appropriate to the student's weight [FB]

g. for freefall, a ripcord-activated, spring-loaded, pilot-chute-equipped main parachute or a bottom-of-container (BOC) throw-out pilot chute [FB]

I know how it works, but in the end I think it comes down to clicking in a spot, you may have some hunch, but the end result is just dumb luck... especially on the higher levels. Yawn!!

My RW tony suit is all supplex aside from the booties. I am very happy with it.

I am not as big as you but I am short and pretty dense, 180 5'6 so I fall fast. I wanted a tight suit but if it was tight an nylon with spandex sleaves I would spend all day dearched.

With the slower fabric, looser sleaves, and huge inflatable booties I have awesome range compared to when I was stuck flying borrowed DZ suits!!!

My FF suit is actually an old 80's RW tony suit, it is made of poly cotton as is pretty baggy.

Either way just call the suit maker and tell them your weight and hieght. I let them decide what was the best combo for me! I am very happy with what Tonysuits made for me!!

Although this game is amusing, I fail to see the strategy involved.

Okay, so I feel like I'm the worst when it comes to bad habits.... I am an incessant picker.... doesn't matter if it's a zit, scratch, bug bite, on my face, my head, my arms, my legs - I pick it, it's INSANE! I'm afraid I'm going to have to nub my fingers in order to stop this shit!!!!!

What is your worst habit???

g

Do you smoke meth??!!

I'm an OTTER snob...so fuck me...whatever!

Where do we sign up? Are you going for one at a time, or a huge orgy?

Im a lesbian trapped in a mans body!

So in other words you are a tranny... rack but no crack.

You freak me out. One day your posts make me think you are a chick, the next day you are looking for pictures of the ladies.

And you have an avatar that is female devil??!!!

You must be a tranny.

luv'ya'2, hun!!

Shut up and jump.

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I am a bad ass NINJA.

Huh?

I didn't know if you were looking for big or small, so here is a set nicely in between.

NSFW fawkers.

Go get a degree and go from there.

I have been able to have a blast jumping for the past year, and I also am going to earn a degree that will finance my jumping. Even if I wanted to be a pro skydiver right now I don't think I would have the skills needed for another couple hundred jumps.

My college even had a really cool skydiving club.

...and a TM in full gear came stomping from the front through a nearly full load and yanks it open and cussed you out. Damn, I could hear him, believe it or not! I wondered what the hell that was all about.

That is a great way to put forward a professional atmosphere for the customers!!!

Wow! I wish I had an instant answer to anything and everything....

That is ironic because it seems like you do have an answer to everything as well, or at least a personal attack to every one of my replies.

So instead of personally attacking me as usual do tell how does leaving a small amount of excess line from the last stow band to the risers cause a hard opening.

If you can tell me I would be glad to learn how, it never hurts to learn more stuff about my gear, otherwise you can take your personal attack on me and blow it out your ass Gabor.

Do you know how many inches of lines there were between the risers and the last bungee on your d-bag ?

The reason I asked is that I nearly knocked myself out with a Pilot pack job a couple of weeks ago. It was entirely my own fault, but I didn't leave enough slack towards the end of the lines, and I think I doubled over one of the last bungees in a way that caused everything to wobble and shake about instead of cleanly releasing the lines.

I don't see that giving you a slammer. I could see that giving you line twists on opening though.

It sounds more like you didn't have the slider against the stops, or you don't have long enough stows and you had line dump.

I thought your reserve was designed to be used in conjunction with the wing in the event of a collapse or a malfunction?

Either way thanks for the info, but I don't want to cause any further thread drift!
