  1. Probably got you medicinal card automatically with your seniors card. dickhead Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)
  2. And that made you ? How so? I had a dealer start me off with a free dime bag. . . $7000 later and I nothing for free Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)
  3. So . . . that's a picture of something fun you've been doing?? Man, there's gonna be a lotta jealous ladies in the BF tonight. She walked right into that one. Bet she walks funny on the way out Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)
  4. My gear dealer started off by giving me $60 worth of "free" stuff Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)
  5. your going to be very sore in the morning Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)
  6. HI! Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)
  7. If you'd bothered to read the article, no, not like that. TSA is now asking security at various (undisclosed) non-US airports for flights to the US to get passengers to turn on their electronics to prove they work. So, if your iPad, phone, camera, laptop isn't charged, it may have to be left behind. Meh, my entire gear bag got to spend an extra coupe days in Thailand last week. You always have to option to send anything security won't let thru in the post. Read the rules, play the game, stop being a bitch about it.

  8. Repacked my main at BNE a few years ago I had a pretty good laugh about it, made him clear out a nice big area that no one else was allowed to enter. Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)
  9. Ive missed the last 5906 posts in this thread. Do we still just say random words? clusterfuck Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)
  10. Usually requires 3 minutes of preparation the night before :) Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)
  11. you mean you turn off your electronics before the flight attendant tells you for the 3rd time, while taxiing that you need to turn them off? Ive been on at least 40 commercial flights the past year, quite a few international, its all been pretty smooth sailing, except for the time I forgot about my hook knife and had a nice chat with the federal police. Even that wasn't that big of a deal. Remember your about to get on a magical spaceship that is capable of time travel. Just be happy and don't fuck with it! ETA, Oh yeah, thats right, your talking about 'merica Hahahahaha yeah, I don't go there anymore Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)

  13. Seeking advice is part of learning. Assuming you know enough to plan every detail without asking anybody for advice is pretty arrogant and could equally lead you down the wrong path. Now blindly following advice from people you don't know - fair enough, that's dumb. But ASKING for advice? We should never berate that in a forum environment. Thanks for that
  14. That's not what I'd consider to be a great option as an out. Make sure you're really practiced your water landing EPs. In my mind they're a really dangerous option. I'd even consider taking a SpareAir bottle with me. I think its a very viable option for a safe alternative. The water is still, and not very deep. There is a dedicated rescue boat for the paragliders as well as water rescue emergency persons, who work along side the paragliders here. Pulled 2 out of the water yesterday. I have done live water landings. So yes in this scenario I feel a water landing is a very safe and viable option. Just for fun we may but an inflatable behind the rescue boat for some accuracy fun Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)
  15. No one mentioned charging up the go pros! here i am trying to find a fucking cable and adapter at 6 am Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)
  16. Really wishing I had a base rig at the moment. kind of gave up on that idea after moving to Australia. Went out for a look at the area today. Decent (small) sized landing area in the valley, massive freshwater lake as an out… 3000' should be a very easy altitude to reach, some guys today were getting +5000' things look good to go for tomorrow :) Side note from today, paraglider pilots fucking suck at landing!

  17. Thanks everyone for the advice so far, pilot is experienced but there may be a bit of a language barrier. Still a couple of weeks away from this foolishness. Just want to think about as many things as possible. does anyone know if you can zero a digital alti (N3) at the landing area and then hike/drive to the exit point? will it track a slow climb? I also have an analog alti. I'm thinking a minimum exit alti will be around 3000' I'm jumping a safire so probably want ~8 second delay and a pack for fast opening. Will see if I can find a bigger PC. anyone have a reference for airspeed VS delay with dead air exit? would be good to know. thanks again
  18. any info regarding harness configuration / conflict… Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)
  19. So wind/thermal/turbulance conditions in the landing area. Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)
  20. yeah thats something to consider, not so much the getting stable part but the altitude it will require to build up air speed for deployment. Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)
  21. Has anybody ever landed a 3-out? Chuteless on here has a picture of him landing 3 rounds. Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)
  22. a simple answer is that there usually just isn't enough altitude for a 3 rd reserve to be practical, as well as what others have said about the very unlikely event of a reserve malfunction. Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)
  23. I will have the opportunity to do some jumps from a tandem paraglider and am looking for info from anyone who has done this before. Things to think about, possible hazards, wtf scenarios, etc. Will be jumping my skydive gear. Ground Launch from mountain. Any info or advice would be appreciated
  24. I'll be around until October now :) Where in Italy? Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:)
