  1. The Passion of the Christ Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  2. About 60 yrs ago, in Mr. Loprenzi's typing class, we were taught to use two spaces. Been doing it ever since; why change now? Jerry Baumchen PS) Do you think it really makes any difference? It doesn't make any difference, but every college English class across the U.S. asks for single spacing after a period. Follow the MLA format or you'll get your points deducted. Double spacing were required for the type writer. No one uses them anymore. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  3. I packed for SOS or POP's record couple years back, and all I packed for the 3-4 day was ST 170 and 190. General color scheme was Teal, Blue, and some other awful color. Think ST with 4-5 different colors in and non of them matches. They all say, "It has great visibility." Ya, color so ugly that it just stands out and can't never look away.

  4. MLA says one space. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  5. Few gets my post without me having to put a sarcasm mark somewhere in the post. but on serious note. It is really up to you, no one here knows how you fly, no one here saw you flying a canopy. You might be that guy who was capable of flying x-brace at 200 jumps, or you could be that guy who should never downsize and stay at 1.1 wingloading. No one can tell you what to do. Do what your heart tells you to do. Know this tho.. Ground is very hard and unforgiving. If you take time and jump out of an airplane with the intention of getting better at whatever every single jump, you will get good. Skydiving is really easy, it just takes time, and shit ton of money. Don't rush to get good, once you are good, everything sucks from that point on. The funnest part of skydiving is seeing yourself progressing. After that you are just throwing money away for shits and gigs. (that takes about 2000 jumps) Just do everything except belly flying. That's for old and uncoordinated people, along with Stiletto 170. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  6. It´s a simple consideration. Example: Same Thread, same szenario, except i have 500jumps. In this szenario i maybe want a new rig too and think hmmm i think i am ready for a smaller chute. At this point i possibly be and everyone would say oh yeah no problem, you propably ready for it. Now this thread as it is, i need a new rig, I thought: Damn maybe i am ready for a smaller chute, the rig would last me longer. What did i do? I asked my instructor, he basicly gives me go, I think hmmm he should know it, he knows my skills too. And then I decide to get more opinions in a forum and realize, nope i am not really ready for a smaller chute and decide to take a larger container. You think that is not seeing red flags? Besides the fact you noticed that 150-135=15, I am not sure if you are literally retarded or you just troll me....brah Edit: Thanks JWEST, i´m glad too and i will shit my pants, promised :D Once you have 500 jumps, you are not gonna be asking any questions regards to downsizing on a internet forum. You better be hitting gates and dragging foot by the time you have 500 jumps. Or otherwise you are just gonna end up flying something big and horribly slow for rest of your life. 500 is when you will decide to become a wingsuit guy or continue on a path and become a freeflier/swooper. If you are old and over 40, you may continue on doing belly jumps, like all the AFF students and the tandem instructors. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  7. whats idgaf? I know IDDQD, IDKFA, IDSPISPOPD. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  8. There should be a new policy when it comes to canopy advice. Don't Ask, Don't tell. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  9. 1.4 wingloading at 200 jumps isn't all that much. Interwebbers needs to stop over reacting. I've seen a kid who rode velo at 200 jumps, loaded at 2.2+. He survived, and racked up thousands of jumps before he stopped jumping. Do what your heart tells you to do. No one knows your canopy skill. Don't let others dictate your future. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  10. so is it a new rule? or a suggestion? Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  11. How do UPT propose to get people to follow this "small" suggestion, when UPT can't even enforce much "bigger" rule? People don't even bother doing a handle check. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  12. shhhhh,, you make it sound cheap and the governor is gonna raise the taxes on gasoline and diesel... fuck Governor Brown. He should make pot legal recreationally and use that money to fix the roads and build infrastructure. and fuck the bullet train. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  13. Disconnect RSL, look red, grab red, pull red. Feet and knees together. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  14. well, we live in California and we still pay 3 bucks a gallon. I haven't seen something $2,XX since god knows how long. I believe last Chrsitmas time, it was like $2.99 with Gov. Brown proposing for more gas and diesel tax for infrastructure(while wasting 95 billions on bullet train that goes no where), California will never see $1.XX/gal for sure. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  15. which one is better to work at LISC or SDLI? Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  16. Sounds bad as one DZO firing every Ti/AFFI for working part time at DZ across the hill for a military contract. That's what happens if you hire bunch of Tis promising approx 100 jumps a month and give them a 50. Karma got him and he is a registered sex offender now. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  17. A passenger fell out of tandem harness and died in the past, I don't think he went to jail tho, not sure. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    9/11

    Ft. Knox. KY. Second Phase of basic training. Do you know how you are getting old? You start hear people saying, "I don't remember much about 9/11" Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    another vote for Patagucci. Patagucci is the new North Face. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  20. that is like 35 mph at best. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

  22. Kim Davis is the new George Wallace. Comparing Kim to MLK or Rosa Parks? GTFO. I'd be ashamed to be living in Kentucky right now. The most backwards states in the US: Kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  23. I think all the skydivers who talked about setting up a Union has ultimately gotten fired or has quit or changed their occupation. You are gonna need all the support from every Ti's and packers out there to unite, which isn't gonna happen. Some kid with 500 jumps and a tandem rating would be happy to eat ramen and live off the dz for $20 dollar tandems. The Ti and the packers during the 90's had the time, the equipment has gotten totally reliable, they have gotten the same pay, same number of jumps, same or more number of pack jobs and the cost of living was significantly less than what it is right now. shit,,, I've got kicked out of DZ by who would become a child molester for complaining about inadequate shading in the packing area. http://www.homefacts.com/offender-detail/CAH2515133E3121/John-Spencer-Hamilton.html Collected from this official state registry website or page: http://www.meganslaw.ca.gov/ can I come back to your dz and jump now? Good thing that you've got a low score on static-99. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  24. Farm fields, 2 way roads, unpaved roads, shitty school system, lack of Costco, lack of malls, bunch of cows and other barn animal, makes a country, a country. Howdy y'all?? Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  25. Military will chop you if you are 285. http://www.military.com/join-armed-forces/army-weight-rules.html If you are 80" tall and aged over 40(fat officers) then your max is 250. Once you go over the limit, you have to pass the tape test. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
