    Please add your name to the other post titled Who is coming.
    Thanks.
    GWPP is an term they made at Raeford because apparently when you are not around they like talking shit.
    Yes, Ryan the pilot does like looking at GWs PP. He is kind of funny like that, obviously the girlfriend is a cover story!
    Hee Hee! :D



    In addition to the GWPP, the locals have also decided to give out a special award in honor of the first pond swoop at raeford.

    The Rob-W Monster Swoop (RWMS) award will most likely be an empty bottle of rum or maybe a gold painted set of water wings. :)

    98!!!

    We are still refining the qualifications; nothing definite yet. Amount of water displacement seems to be the top qualification so far...:D:D:D

  6. This is one of my fortes!

    Koolaid in the shower head. (unscrew it and fill it with red koolaid.


    super glue the locks to the house.

    change out there car key with a similar one.

    clear jello in the toilet. (fucking hilarious) that and saran wrap.

    turn the door knobs on there house around. (key on inside)

    take the wheels off rolling chairs.

    waterballons under couch cushions.

    stink bombs in ac vent.

    Not being there when she wakes up the next morning :( (it was Saturday morning with no wind, 70 degrees and blue skies... and it probley didn't help that i used the downstairs shower so not to wake her) First load was quickly aproaching



    Wake her up. Do her hard. Go shower. ;)


    Good response. Seriously, having to sneak out in the morning, so as not to wake her - l a m e. :P She'll get over it and she's not worth your time, IMHO.

    edit: then again, I don't know the specifics - could be kind of harsh.


    my intentions of our "date" were more of an evening event. Aside from that i didn't want to answer the 9 million questions at that time seeing i had not ever mentioned anything about me skydiving to her (Hard to believe right?)

    Simply put i had one mission the night before, and it had nothing to do with my activities planned for the following day, i just figured it would be "rude" to kick her out afterward at 3am.

  15. 69 :D did AFF in September.
    63 in 3 months after getting solo in mid October. Made at least one jump a weekend since September 1 until this past. (damn holidays and closed DZ :()

    now i'm about to die waiting till Saturday :D

  16. First of all... who watches it? im in love with the show.

    for those that watch the show, are the writers on a damn strike again or something? jesus. its been what seems like 2 months since the last new one.

  18. I dont think that static line jumps would really help unless you completly wanted to skip the freefall. once you do another jump or so, you will start to realize that in comparison to most up-jumpers, you have alot of canopy time as an AFF student. i know that sensory overload is probably still wide open during canopy flight (reason i say probably is because i was so pumped that i really don't remember many details about the first one... haha)

    I'm glad you made it out okay, but the purpose of a PLF is to keep from breaking bones and getting seriously injured so from your description it sounds like it did its job. there never pretty but imagine what would have happened if you tried to stick your arm out to stop your fall? either way depending on the situation you will be sore and banged up for a few days. Ive had one rough landing after a little bit of wind chance, no experience, and a stupid decision, but i got up, dusted myself off, got packed and jumped again that day. the next day i felt like a train wreck but i was good to go for the next weekend of jumping.

    Have a talk with your instructor about it, im sure they will tell you that no one stands up every landing, and no one ever will, and that you shouldn't get discouraged from it. I was taught to not look straight down at the ground and to start flaring right about when you can kick someone in the head. you will start to get the feel for it, IMO once you get it once or twice, (especially on bigger canopies) you will learn the sweet spot and go from there. What i did/do alot of is watching other people. i'm jumping a slightly wingloaded canopy now and its a different ball game to land it, ive talked with some people about it, but ive learned the most from just watching experienced jumpers come in and land.

    But again, i'm still a low timer, Please talk with your instructor about it. id hate to see someone give up over one bad landing, if that were the case all of us would be very bored on weekends :D

    Does anyone know of the estimated date of completion?



    I was told last month that they thought it might be done before the SkyFest event in June. Not sure if they knew the start date then, I would imagine it would be if they broke ground yesterday?? Sounds like it will be a nice one?



    i never really got a 100% answer, but from what ive heard it will be done well in time for skyfest. that's not stone, only thing i know for sure is that it was marked and that construction was to start soon

    What transmission are you using? My friend has a talon that he is putting out good numbers on, 500ish. He went out and got a (stage 3 I think?) Shep trans, so from here on out its just adding power. He also is just finishing building a mighty max pickup truck that has a 2.4 turbo, he is at about 550 on pump with relatively low boost numbers. Fun stuff. Expensive though!



    Ive had 3 differnt ones, a stock with a 4 spyder center diff, lasted a good while. broke 3rd gear. a "not stock" syncro trans (i assembled but i guess it would be a stage 5 on sheps site) destroyed that after about a half dozen high boost launches.

    Now i have a magnus Dog box. welded diff and LSD front. never got to beat on it to bad, but it felt strong.

    Whipples are for babies... go big or go home, Twin turbo GT's are where its at :D

    Ive ran many-a 03-04 cobras with whipples. AWD takes there lunch money every time, even from a roll MOST of them cant hang, altho i did get a good run from a lightning on slicks once. the Flying brick effect got him up top tho.

    Personally i think whipples sound like shit, but a kenny bell. OMG pure sex




    Pure sex is a built Supra with a T76.....or bigger and spray. I'v only seen one on the road and my luck i got him to go WOT and blow my doors off. Good thing my seats clean up easy!!!!:o:o:o:o



    Supras are hands down my favorite cars ever. period. give me an RSP 6 speed with black leather interior over a C6-ZO6 anyday. (read i said ZO6, not ZR1 :D)

    I was lucky enough to get to play with many of them, a freind of mines car that i helped him build made 1502whp. one of the best days of my life was getting the dog walked by that car with me on my 05 R1 with full bolt-ons. started at about a 35mph roll, i had him till well into the triple digits, and he blew past me at something like 150+. that car was insane, it would lay rubber off of a 305 drag radial rolling into the gas at 90 mph in 4th. stupid and useless, but damn it was fun.

    sometime i miss my old job :(

    I have a '94 S10 I swapped a V8 into. I have pics on Facebook. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=54682&id=538486493

    It's got a .060 over 350, windage tray, crank scraper, Moroso 8 qt. pan, Comp cams extreme energy 4x4 cam 270 advertised duration, 305 heads that I ported, polished, put bigger valves in, and balanced the combustion chambers, Edelbrock performer rpm intake, 650 holley spreadbore, 2,600 rpm stall convertor in a th350, stock open rearend with 4.10 gears. It's a riot in town but not for long trips.
    I also had a '79 Trans Am with a very mild 403, 2.42 posi rear. It was great for interstate driving, not so much in town.
    The most badass thing I've driven was a truck our shop built for a radio promotion. It started out as a '39 chevy truck, they only thing left original was the tail light. It had a 350, big Crane cam, 7.5:1 compression, ported stock 2.02/1.60 heads, 175 hp N.O.S., oh yeah, and a Dyers 6-71 blower overdriven 6%. TH400 with an 8 inch convertor, Ford 9" with 4.86 gears, great big Pro-Trac 375 /60-15's, and ladderbars. It weighed 3,500 lbs. with driver. We goyt beat in a street race by an 1100 GSXR from a 60 MPH roll. The truck would only do 130 MPH so we didn't have a chance, but it was the only time we got beat, and we mostly went after street bikes.



    Its hard to take a TH400 car with a little power behind it on the street or track, especially with ladderbars. I can only imagine, i built a Supra with a TH400 for a customer once with a GT4202R. through a 6 speed that car should have made around 1400whp. SOB made 872 on the dyno... but good god all mighty it would get the fuck out of its own way. We raced many busas and streached 1000's with that car and only ever lost to a turbo'd GSXR-1000. That car broke EVERY SINGLE time we took it to the track. couldn't keep a rear end in it off the line, but couldn't launch out of boost because it would take till the 1/8th mile to spool.

    Have a b16a in my 90 civic hatchback. Lightly modded, bigger cams, head milled .020, the usual exhaust header/catback and intake. No AC or power steering. I can take v8 mustangs and camaros without much difficulty. Outran my buddies brand new saturn sky redline too. Haven't dynoed it yet, im guessing it probably makes around 190hp, car weighs in at about 2000lbs.



    Sounds about right, most ive seen out of a stock b16 was 179 with a hellova tune.

    there fun cars and can suprize people on the street. pretty useless at the track tho without slicks and gas. i started out my career at a honda based performance shop. we were one of the first to put a K20a into a hatch. took forever to build because of custom everything and we(I) had to hand make the wiring harness. ran good tho when we were done. the car we did that on now has a turbo and is running around 450whp.

    i can, but now i don't have to. i bought my very first new car a couple years ago and it came with run-flat tires. no spare, no jack, no wheel wrench, nothing. if i have a complete blow-out, i have to call the dealer for road-side asisstance. that came free for the first 4 years, so far i haven't had to use it.



    OMG i HATE runflats. @#$%#$@%#$%@$# to replace. At Acura we have whats called PAX tires, and basically there the same thing except there is a rubber/plastic ring on the rim inside the tire to assist with the load of a tire with no air. But, chances are that with runflats you will not have to worry about a blow out. If you saw how thick the sidewalls were, you would feel comfortable shooting a few rounds into it and keep in trucking.
