  1. Thanks a lot man, very informative video. I like technical explanations it helps me visualize what is going on. On my descents I was no brakes at 16ft to full brakes thru the last 15 ft. My question is.....at what point do people go from full flight to a braking condition on decent? Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars.
  2. That's what I was thinking too. The other day I retrieved a frisbee off the top of my roof and used a PLF to get down. On my two canopy rides I was fully committed to PLF's but my feet were in front of me Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars.
  3. I'm okay little sore today, but my instructors did say my flare was a little late. I was instructed to flare approx 15 ft off the deck. The ground came up pretty quick. I was worried about flaring too soon. I suppose it takes a few times to get the jist of it. Does your body slightly pendulum out from under the canopy during the flare?

  4. 2 tandems and 2 static line jumps. AFF here I come! My two static jump landings were pretty shitty. Landed on my rear both times. I think I am flaring too late . Cheers! Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars.
  5. WE ARE FUCKED! First of all there is no difference between Obama and Bush period. Politicians are not there to help you and I. They are there to be re-elected. Take the money out of politics and the game will change. The politicians and large corporations have a secret fuckin hand shake Obama had the chance to boot Tim Gitner but balked. The fuckin federal reserve is going to take the ship down, and attempt to draw peoples attention away from it by using bullshit (R's vs D's) to distract from the truth. Personally I believe mother earth will take care of herself. You pollute your water source.....you're fucked. Burn a bunch of oil (Americans are the worst at this).....your're fucked........do we need a government body to regulate green propagation.......Maybe........I absolutely think renewables are part of the long term strategy. But until someone learns to take renewable and get me to 13500 ft agl efficiently......we are going to need all the oil we can get.......foreign too!

  6. That is pretty scary thinking about what I would have done considering I regularly carry. Assholes! I suppose you definitely wouldn't want to do this sort of thing in Florida! Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars.
  7. That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard! Cops feel like they loose some advantage if citizens are armed......plain and simple Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars.
