  1. It seems as if you have a vagina you're 10000 times more likely to have something nice done for you. I see chicks with just a few jumps invited on multi-ways all of the time. I wish I had a vagina
  2. Not to be a douche, and maybe I'm totally wrong on this, but wouldn't correction with the rear riser(s) be the first course of action here? OP knew it was a brake fire, why not grab the rear riser? Get the canopy flying level and there would have been lots more time to deal with anything.
  3. Yeah, went to a canopy seminar of his. He taught us this then, and I've been doing it ever since. Very cool guy, btw.
  4. Line twists on opening turned into a high speed spin. Happened so quickly I didn't have much time to think. Didn't think about NOT jumping again. Never crossed my mind, I think. I do remember it being the HOTTEST day of the year, and some cool dude knew where the canopy landed (in the woods on top of a tall, lanky tree). So I bought him a couple of jumps, then went back into the woods with a dude with climbing gear. Through the tick-infested muddy shit, he climbed up another tree next to it and lassooed with a rope. Bought him a few jumps. Couldn't find bag, dropped handle. Expensive day. And fucking HOT!!!!!!!!!
  5. Yeah, I didn't think so. Thanks guys.
  6. My God I hope nobody takes this advice seriously. Whats wrong with it? I was taugh it and used it several times with no issues. If there is a valid reason for it, let me know, I'm not trying to screw anyone up. ETA: Crap, I meant slip knot... Ill try to fix the other post, unless thats a bad idea as well Sounds like a terrible, terrible idea to me. If you cock your chute ahead of time, I think the packing it with the line showing little/ no blue with the blue just beyond the window can pretty much guarantee the pilot is cocked. Tying your pilot chute into any type of knot sounds like a very bad idea in any situation. Maybe I'm wrong.
  7. Is there a difference whether you pack with your brake lines inside your risers our outside? I usually pack with them inside (excess going to the outside). The other day I packed them with them on the outside, and I got a long, long snivel and a big, off-heading opening almost into line twists. Was it just a big coincidence? Snivel was kind of cool as it slowed the opening nicely. The almost-line twist wasn't as cool.
  8. Wait, you didn't get your A-license upon completion of your AFF? Maybe it's changed since I got mine, I don't know.
  9. So the other day I packed the chute and placed the bag into the container. I then noticed I saw no blue indicating the pilot chute was cocked. Now, this has happened before, but the blue was always right below the window, so it was really cocked, just the line moved a little while packing. This time was a full-on forgot to cock the pilot chute thing. So I just cocked it then (thank God I really checked it). I was thinking though, could the kill line (or whatever it's called) trap some parachute material in it when you cock it this way? All I could think was that it might actually rip a whole in the fabric or whatever. It turned out okay, but can a pilot chute always be cocked in a safe manner when the canopy is already in the bag?
  10. Yes that would be beer. And don't forget the rigger, you owe him/her something too. Yeah, rigger gets 70 bucks! He/she should buy you beer! The packer that packed your lineover should get "something" too!
  11. Haven't in a long while (most of my buckets are used for my SW aquarium now). Used to do all grain. Made some pretty potent shit in my time. Remember me and my roommate getting obnoxiously drunk and puking off of a 9%. Just way too strong to keep drinking. I've made all kinds. Lager turned out really well, but didn't make much of it. I've had my primary ferment so hard that it blew the cover and splooge all over the floor. Also had it plug the airlock, then unplug and splooge all over my ceiling! Cultured some yeast off the bottom of Sierra Nevada a couple of times. Nothing like free yeast. Just add a simple starter and you're good to go. Ahh, the good ol' days. Problem is that it's not really that much cheaper, takes 6-8 hours, and a lot of work. I miss it, but I moved to a place where the only place I could really wash my buckets and pots was in my shower stall, so that got old.
  12. Oh yeah, don't worry, you'll get over it. I have almost 200 jumps. I had anxiety on the first jump of the year this year, but it was mostly due to the funky winds. Getting out of the plane is usually the hardest part when you're first starting. It's at opening altitude or landing that the anxiety comes when you're more experienced. Getting out of the plane is the easiest part now!!
  13. What happened? I got my A-license through them. A great little group of people.
  14. Are they still active? They aren't part of the USPA as of a couple of weeks ago ( I didn't see their name on any USPA list and actually e-mailed the USPA). What happened? Their website has their 2004 staff :(
