  1. A gear registration system, sort of like carfax would be cool. Hey I want to buy your gear what is the serial. Wait why doesn't the serial match your name, and why is it listed as stolen!!!

    Probably more trouble that it is worth, but it is a cool concept.

  2. Several times I have been the only jumper in my pilot's 206. Free early bird if you are there before 7, and apparently we have a bunch of rich and lazy jumpers. Personally I will walk barefoot over coals at 6:30 for a free jump with a sunrise. :D

    On the flip side every time I have been in a 182 with four people I started to have a panic atack. ;);)

  3. Try working in a chain supermarket around the holidays, with brain washing music pumped in from the mothership.

    The day after halloween the X-mas music would start, really really bad x-mas music. Like Janet Jackson on acid doing her own rendition of Silver Bells. :D

    I hug my cube every day, it is heaven compared to that. B|

    The tunnel is like a machine that blows dollar bills - you need as many hands to catch them as they blow buy to make the investment worth it.



    That is an AWESOME analogy. I am going to try and keep that in mind next time I just want to fawk around, when instead I really need to keep my eyes on the prize.

    whinge period



    Is this accross the pond speak for a lunch break, because if it is I am totally using this around the office. :ph34r:

    Best of luck getting through your student status. I remember how hard it was to sit on the ground when others were jumping. Now I have so many opportunities to jump that I sit down and just enjoy the ground when the conditions suck.

    What if you were on the front of a Tandem and the pilot in command used the reserve? I am not sure of the protocol here.



    Give the TI a hummer... and the TI give the rigger a bottle???? :D

    Dont know if the SIM applies in the UK. They have their own rules.



    So sue me I didn't check his signature. :S He still has a great source of knowlege at his fingertips for all of the regulations and rules that applies to him, even though it isn't the sim. :D

    I dunno.... perhaps not a triplet.



    I should have checked the signature... not a triplet, an actual clone. :P She has been treating me really well.

  9. Small or big dropzone?

    If it is a small Cesna drop zone maybe you can convince them to put up an early bird load before the winds pick up.

    Check out the SIM regarding currency for students. :ph34r:

    Another bottle of crown to my collection!;)

    Cheers,



    i'm not sure what that means since i'm still new to this sport. does that mean that i owe you a bottle of crown?



    The custom is that you owe your rigger a bottle of his choice if you use your reserve and it functions properly and saves your life.

  11. I bought my rig used, and went for price instead of looks, but the purple and green is growing on me. :D

    I don't have a picture, but some one is selling its twin in the classifieds, so it must be a stock color.

  12. See if you can try out the freefly handle before you decide to purchase one. I don't like the feel of them but I am not a freeflyer.

    On the other hand a lot of the freeflyers at the drop zones I jump at don't like them either, and feel that a hackey and a properly packed PC is perfectly safe.
