  1. My guess based on the pattern and lack of a rattle is a California King snake. But I am a Texan so YMMV. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough. That's fucked up. Watermelons do not grow on trees! ~Skymama

  3. I thought that's why he dumped. Iced or fogged up and could not see alti so dumped. Or after he said that he could not see, they gave him a tone that said PULL. I concur on the ff time. Belly always gets more time than the HD crowd so it is more of a wuffo stat for the books. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough. That's fucked up.

  4. Probably the capsule too after recovery. I know that I saw over 700 on the speed before it went out and then he spun but does anyone know what the calculated target speed was supposed to be for Mach 1? Pretty cool that the Col still holds the longest freefall record. Hey Felix, you owe . Nice work! It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough.

  7. Yes but since he's the only one on the load, he can fart and spend a long time checking the spot at the door without anybody bitching about it. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough. That's fucked up. Watermelons do not grow on trees! ~Skymama
  8. I agree. I dont even know if she's attached atm and i wouldn't want to overstep those bounds..especially if the one she's attached to is a rigger, rigging my 'chute until I can pack by myself, right? First off, riggers ain't packing your main, it's more than likely a PACKER and they will screw anything that moves and they ain't going to get mad, they just wait their turn and are not picky. You really need to let us evaluate your risk here so POST PICTURES OF HER. The community will let you know how to proceed and since you are in the west, we will let you know before you hit on Valinda because her husband could be the Guns & Ammo editor. Pictures of boobs are the best as to better evaluate your chances. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough. That's fucked up.

  9. When I coached college lacrosse, I was running the team in a fast break drill one day and the offense kept getting shut down by my defense. The offense was not very motivated to run the drill and I was getting a little pissed about their lack of motivation. I needed some pick up other than having them run a couple laps (demotivating) or yelling at them till I was blue in the face. So I kept whistling them dead and then it hit me. Earlier in the day, I was in that office supply place to pick up some printing and they gave me a free marketing thing that they were using in their ads....The Easy Button. I just chunked in my truck and didn't think about it again until that drill. So I call a water break and go to get the thing out of the truck. I come back to the field and say we're running team X's fast break again so line it up. I walked up to the center line of the offense set and threw down the Easy Button and stated that whomever beat the defense gets to hit the button. Damned if that didn't challenge a bunch of college kids. They started really running the set hard and challenging my defense. Pretty soon it became an honor to hit that stupid red thing and make it talk. Amazing how the little things work sometimes. So try an Easy Button if you can still find them.

  12. Wow! Pulled off the condescending post in most French fashion. No pardon granted dude as your attitude is already in the corner and really is not welcome as it just will get you or someone else hurt or killed.

  13. Some things to try on student and every other canopy thereafter: First clear your airspace, After you open, slide your legstraps down so you are seated and they are more mid-thigh. Lean into the harness and observe what the canopy does. Next lean left, an raise the right leg while putting pressure on the left leg strap by straightening the leg or pressing down hard with the left thigh. Now let the wing recover and go to half brakes. Let the toggles up then do the above. Start a toggle turn and as your body moves out from under the canopy, harness it while letting the toggle up and see if you can keep it in the turn. As you downsize and the harness comes more into play, you will learn how you can maneouver and fly your whole approach with harness turns only. It's a tool for the tool box that alot of folks don't use but the harness is a control input just as much as four risers and two toggles. It just works better as wingloading goes up.

  15. If y'all don't shuck at the store, where the hell is the senora that sells me tamales outside the beer store going to get all those husks? I don't think she could eat that much corn. Help us tamale lovers out and shuck in public people. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough. That's fucked up.

  17. You probably packed it before as it was Randy's first rig b4 he bought the Deere rig. I'm comfortable pulling silver with what is in there. I can pull the cable and feel tension on the pin. The SH collins lanyard is routed correctly. The pin goes and that spring is comming out. My bad was just picking up my rig and making sure the card was completed as I have to travel either 2 hrs or 5 hrs to a DZ. I've pulled silver on my non-aad Talon that was packed by this person so really, it's closed so yea my bad. The question is not one of will it work when I need to do my job, but is it legal? Lee knows the deal at SDD with visitors and that is what bites. During check in, the staff rigger checks and say's it's incorrect and you can't use it here at X dz. I would not sit with it as the top flap is an issue and going head down, the other flaps can let air flow in and you can get a finger into the bottorm corners but for belly or H&Ps, I don't see an issue other than a rigger throwing up a roadblock on a check-in inspection. And with the FAA all over PLAs and chucking more shit at the sport, that is why I asked Mr. Wally. This is the part where I get the second opinion before I show up and get called out because it may work but not be legal. I was not too cool with the idea of a guy going into the carboard and you may have been but it worked either way. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude.

  18. Repack 3 months ago by a rigger I have used before. Picked it up and never jumped it until I went to DZ this weekend. Something didn't seem right when I was preflighting it. V3 with skyhook and the top flap would not tuck at the bottom of top reserve flap. I have packed it with a rigger before but it took me a bit to figure that the side flaps were under the outter bottom flap. I looked it up and #3 is over #4 and #5. I can see the grommets are stacked and it appears that it should function but not being a rigger should I take it back and have the rigger redo it? Riggers at the DZ would not mess with it because it was anothers seal. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough. That's fucked up.

  20. I took his basic a couple of years ago and then his advanced canopy last October. Well run course with current information. Advanced course is lesson and objective / H&P / video debrief then rinse & repeat all day. Curt is very accessible via email or phone after classes and on the DZ and yes he runs a safe course. Dallas has changed their landing areas so you do the course in the alternate landing area now rather than over the swoop lane. I recommend his course as he runs it often. Give him a call or shoot him an email as to the dates. Canopy control is something that you really don't ever stop learning so if another course comes up like Flight-1 or something near you, you should jump on that too. There is never enough to learn.

  21. SIM? That old thing is still relavent? I am pretty sure that all knowledge can be found in your GoPro Owners Video Manual, Appendix B, Sec VII - Parachuting made easy.
