you mean with another person? I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll burn your fucking packing tent down.

orbiting is related to the gravity of celestial masses. I believe your problem is a function of magnetic attraction. try alternatly changing your and your partners body mass and make a graph from the results. Then consult this graph to calculate your success rates on future jumps. hope this helps. heres a example equation. the formula used is called TC's theory of freefall relativity. G is the gravitational constant and r is the separation distance between the two masses. W is the wieght of the jumpers. g=F/M=GM/R squared X Wa+Wb Or you could just take billvons advice, because he was right too. I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll burn your fucking packing tent down.

im not lost. There is a huge flaw in Billy's post. I hate to point it out because its funy that it is so obvious yet so easily overlooked. For one second put your personal idealism aside. Try to curb your contempt for supposed misfeasance of skyride. Then peruse billys post and spot the flaw. Did you figure it out? I'm afraid you might be to blinded by your passion to understand. I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll burn your fucking packing tent down.

I dont mean to be ugly but what you just said really doesnt make alot of sense........look at your post and think about it! I think you will get what i mean I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll burn your fucking packing tent down.

I doubt there were any broken bones on that landing regardless of the fact that it wasnt very graceful. It looks like the tM executed a turn a little low. The canopy was recovering from the turn and had very little flair left in it. Like the guy said a couple of post ago. He was just a little low and late on everything. I never stand up a landing unless I have good shaggers. If I do stand up I have them squat down to a sit immediately. Otherwise you run the risk of getting slammed on your back or you will turn around and get face planted from the three legged race. I disagree with Cspence. If you land on your feet in 20k winds you will probably get slammed alot unless your shaggers are right on. Not worth the risk to me I just sit down. I have nothing to gain by standing up. Think about how hard it is to manage your sport canopy on the ground in strong winds. Now strap someone to the front of you and add 200sq ft of material for the wind to act on. and no I doubt youtube has any measurable affect on the sport at all I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll burn your fucking packing tent down.

yea this seems pretty dumb. I dont know why 5 people would say no. the way I see it you exited a aircraft and landed under parachute. to me thats pretty much the definition of a skydive. Its also very close to websters definition. the fact that you are strapped to another jumper has nothing to do with it. You are both assuming the same risks and are facing the same dangers. After some students have fallen from the harness, some could argue that you are facing more danger by being on the front. If the passenger cannot rightfully log it then the TM really couldnt either. Afterall they were on the same jump and acted together. Also the USPA recognizes them as loggable jumps. I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll burn your fucking packing tent down.

well as a self proclaimed expert in animal freefall behavior, I would have to say that cat is freakin out at the door, Maybe in freefall it found some peace. Without video we cant know! the question is ....who cares? It was pretty funny Jtval? how could you say you arent against animals jumping then turn around and say the chicken jump was cruel. I doubt the chickens situational awareness is anywhere near that of a cat or dogs. I have chickens, and i can confirm they are pretty simple. I think a owl or a fox scares chickens more than skydiving. I dont think anyone can really say anything about animals jumping, unless you are against all animals jumping. I've seen multiple pics of dog tandems. I believe one was in parachutist not long ago. So hows that different than a cat or a chicken? anyway I like the idea of the cat and the chicken jumping together. I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll burn your fucking packing tent down.

actually I think the moderators just like porn Thanks for taking an interest though, I think you read ASC's forum more than the people that jump there. I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll burn your fucking packing tent down.

I did a barrel roll under canopy, but I was only able to pull it off by having another jumper fly through my canopy with their velo. It was rather violent and scary...I dont recommend it! So yes when acted upon by an outside force, barrel rolls and all kinds of crazy sh@t is possible I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll burn your fucking packing tent down.

all students that showed up this weekend got to jump. just like any other weekend that the weather is jumpable. We do everything possible to get students in the air. So many of you know nothing of what you talk about. But anyway, you guys rip away now. I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll burn your fucking packing tent down.

i'm not real sure what you mean by "you expected that from a skyride supporter" I was simply giving the info on the DZ in clarkesville. Not really sure why your post was neccessary billy? was my post wrong in some way? By the way I say usually a caravan because i'm familiar with the operation and sometimes they substitute the caravan with a king air. So dont be surprised if a King air is there instead of caravan. I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll burn your fucking packing tent down.

clarkesville Tn, outlaw field I believe its just under an hour from nashville jump plane is turbine, usually caravan. I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll burn your fucking packing tent down.

theres a dropzone in prattville? We've moved billy You had to order a new jump suit because your old one turned to dust sitting in your gear bag ok I know moderators....we ruined this thread. back on topic I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll burn your fucking packing tent down.

i actually came on here to say exactly what pheonix said. Then i realized that mr moore is right. Lots of ex skydivers do get on here. So how bout it Billy V? Why do people quit? just messin with you billy I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll burn your fucking packing tent down.

thats desparate. I would hate to lay my gear or myself on the diirty floor of a taco hell I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll burn your fucking packing tent down.

i've always had great service with them. I have bothered them on several occassions with border line ridiculous request, and they always accomodate me. the fax machine is great by the way I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll burn your fucking packing tent down.

I have heard of some bad stuff happening to rigs that are left laying around, mostly overnight. Luckily I dont have to worry about it. I have an equipment manager. I just throw my rig down and she packs it or daisy chains it and puts it away. then she runs a head cleaner tape through my cameras and cleans the lenses. then puts them away. you guys jealous??????? yea ......you should be I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll burn your fucking packing tent down.

i think at 8000ft the reserve side instructor should wrap 2 rounds of duct tape around their ankles, then yell "PLF MOFO"!!! just an idea I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll burn your fucking packing tent down.

well this might not be an option for you, but I keep a camel back in the plane. I always sit with my back against the pilots seat. (king air or caravan) On the first load of the day I take my camel back and hang it on the back of the seat. I have two bladders for it which i freeze overnight. They gradually melt from load to load. That way i have some fluids waiting for in the plane at all times. Its very convienent. When I finish one bladder I will swap them out. Two usually gets me through the day. If you have this option I highly recommend it. there are no bottles or garbage to dispose of, and its extremely convenient to have fluids waiting for you in the plane. Also you can stick snacks in the outside zipper compartment. I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll burn your fucking packing tent down.

ive seen it done, like someone said......make sure those bottom connectors are stowed away and secured. thats probably the most dangerous part as far unfamiliar or unforseen equipment problems. Definately not with a uncurrent TI, thats stupid. It is a little strange and involved. So a current experienced Ti is a must. personally I dont see it as being "wrong". I think its a awesome idea. Just be smart about it. unfortuneatly you probably should keep it on the D-lo. i'm sure lots of people will bitch about it because there are alot of unprogressive unimaginative lame-o's out there. If you try it PM me and let me know how it went and if you found anything to be difficult. I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll burn your fucking packing tent down.

what was that flying out of the canopy? It looks like a frisbee? did you guys see that? I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll burn your fucking packing tent down.

thats amazing!!!!!!!!!!!! I didnt know turkeys couldnt live without power! He should of had a generator if it was that crucial. What if a storm knocks his power out? That story just doesnt sound right. I farm catfish and i rely on power. we have redundant systems in place though. something about this tale is fowl. I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll burn your fucking packing tent down.

I slipped out of the vagine in freefall. I landed hanging on to the umbilical cord. I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll burn your fucking packing tent down.

its funny how people got on here and just started bashing a broad generalized group of people. talking about how most videographers suck and are dangerous. This thing was almost instantly off topic. I think it was the second or third post that some egomaniac started there negative condescending rant. I'm sure the people one here who are talking trash will be the first to tell you how good they are. No one can just start out being good like im sure you guys did.(CSpence, riggerrob, & tsalnukt) I bet norman kent was even a beginer at some point. but back on topic...............I think the hand mount camera sucks as a primary shot. If its used in conjunction with outside video then it provides excellent extra footage and cut aways(video not parachutes). The extra effort would demand a higher price though. And at a busy DZ it would be difficult to provide a real "professional" product. There just isnt time, unless its mailed later. As far as camera quality goes.........the PC 1000 shoots about as good as most prosumer miniDV's. As long as the light is good. Now with the new HDV and solid state cameras its hard to find a poor quality camera when prepared to cameras from 5 years ago. I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll burn your fucking packing tent down.
