  1. I'm just sayin if 100 people go into a car dealer and tell them they were willing to pay $2000 dollars over sticker price how long do you think it would be before the price of the car went up? Not that I think that the DZO's will raise prices based on this thread I was just makin a joke.
  2. I've had that happen a couple of times when I was on my bike. only when doing excessively stupid speeds. It is a cruiser but it's 1100 cc's so it get up there. It wouldn't last long but just kind of shoot through my body. But it felt like what you described. kinda like a sleeping limb, but ran through the whole body. I always took it as my body giving me a warning about something like spidey sense . I usually eased up on the speed. Not that you have that option in freefall. Maybe it was just your body telling you that deployment altitude was coming up. No need to spend money on an altimeter you got a built in one.

  3. Lets not let the DZO's know how high we will go before they start loosing business. Put $25 up there and everybody revote I'm not the rope totin charlie Bronson wanna be that's getting us fucking lost.

  6. Just got a 33 but cant figure how to capture the screen. Pretty easy to get 38-41 score range but the lower scores need some luck it seems Scott C. Luck this is a complete game of skill. Just like Tx Hold em. I'm not the rope totin charlie Bronson wanna be that's getting us fucking lost.
  7. Sure this sport needs more females in it. But I could NEVER see paris going beyond a tandem but stranger this have happened. And this coming from the very close relationship that we have. I'm not the rope totin charlie Bronson wanna be that's getting us fucking lost.
  8. Got you beat, my friend. 31!!!!! 8 holes in one, including two holes that are pretty tough to get them on, and a 2 on the last hole, which I aced once before. Does anybody wanna try and beat 31? 31, seriously Billy you need to step it up. I got a 29, 10 holes in one. HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES!!!??? hahah. I'll have to post the screen print later, as I can't resize here at work. I RuLE bitches!!! I'll believe it when you produce the proof. tied your 33. Let me work on the 31.

  9. 39 first try. I love it now I can not study for finals and feel like I'm still doing something I'm not the rope totin charlie Bronson wanna be that's getting us fucking lost.
  10. You probably won't get much response this topic seems to get brought up quit a bit. I just ordered my rig. I'm 5'11" 175 and got a wings with a 175 fusion. I consider myself a fast learner as well. I figured I can use this for at least a couple hundered jumps before I master that. Then I can downsize to a 150 and use the same container. Probably depends on how fast you want to downsize. You will find people have different views about how quickly this should be done. I opt to lean toward the safe side so I can enjoy this sport for as long as I can. Good luck on getting your rig. I can't wait to get mine.
  11. here are a couple links for those that are interested. just a little info and yeah you are right about your friend he would have been better off had the airbag not deployed. http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/people/injury/airbags/airbags03/page3.html http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/press-releases/archives/2000-releases/press09282000.html wow apparently I don't know how to use the url to make it clicky I thought all you had to do was hit the url botton before and after the link. I'm not the rope totin charlie Bronson wanna be that's getting us fucking lost.
  12. No pic. but that aside it can depend on the angle of the accident that determines if the airbag will deploy. there is a little gold ball that will roll forward and complete the circuit. Some air bags will only deploy if it is a direct forward on collision. I have an airbag in my car when my ex-roommate hit another car glancing blow in the rear the airbag did not deploy. this is why side airbags and other airbags are used. Not all of them will deploy depending on the angle of the accident. edited to add: oh I see a pic now maybe I missed it. after looking at the pic I wouldn't think the airbag would have come out. seems you slowed down enough to make it a glancing T-bone rather that a full blown smash. Sorry bout your accident glad your ok hope your not in to much pain... I'm not the rope totin charlie Bronson wanna be that's getting us fucking lost.
  13. I don't think you should have a problem. I miss SDC I did my training there. Even flew up from Dallas just to finish where I had started. Great crew there as it sounds like you already know. Have fun. Have a beer at the shoe store for me I'm not the rope totin charlie Bronson wanna be that's getting us fucking lost.
  14. In the works can't wait to jump it. 11 weeks and counting
  15. What Divot said... Well, that and a little bit of everything really. 1 day I work my upper body (chest, shoulders, biceps, triceps, lower back, upper back, abs) - the next day I do my legs. I switch between the 2 routines every other day & go to the gym 5 days a week. Typically, I use a variation of 5 machines per workout, and depending on what I'm doing, I lift between 50-75 lbs. 4 Sets of 20 reps. I work my abs every day though; crunches - 4 sets of 50 reps. If you wanna put on more weight you should try doing less reps with more weight. Are you using protein shakes? I'm not the rope totin charlie Bronson wanna be that's getting us fucking lost.
  16. Gotta love ignorant ass people. it seems people are getting stupid as time goes on. or maybe there is just more of them since the world is becoming more populated... I'm not the rope totin charlie Bronson wanna be that's getting us fucking lost.
  17. Thanks everybody I decided to go with the articulated Harness and get the padding. Figure I'll just go sell some plasma to pay for the extras. LOL I'm not the rope totin charlie Bronson wanna be that's getting us fucking lost.
  18. Hey I just ordered a wings yesterday and was debating if I should spend the extra money for the articulated harness and the leg-back pads. I will probably have the rig for quit a while as I only have 55 jumps and will be jumping my 175 fusion for a while then will be able to use a 150 in my container. I plan on getting into Freeflying. Has anybody jumped one with and without these options. I figure over the span of three or four or more years I may have the container it might be well worth it. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks Feel free to PM me. I'm not the rope totin charlie Bronson wanna be that's getting us fucking lost.
  19. I would contact ebay and the PoePoe asap. No chance of this guy stepping up to handle like a man he is obviously a POS. [urlhttp://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/stolen.html[/url] I'm not the rope totin charlie Bronson wanna be that's getting us fucking lost.
  20. hell it's better than 12 hours on a bike. I went from Tx to St Louis didn't think it would take quit that long. Have fun on your trip I'm not the rope totin charlie Bronson wanna be that's getting us fucking lost.
  21. Decided on this one except silver for the monogram on the reserve flap. Thanks for the input everybody. Now count down. 12 weeks and counting I'm not the rope totin charlie Bronson wanna be that's getting us fucking lost.
  22. I'm actually getting a really good deal from Rigs and Things. and I'm tired of trying to find a good deal on something that will fit me right I have been looking a while. Either the canopy size I need doesn't fit the container etc... Hey and everybody has different taste.
  23. Are you trying to buy a rig that everyone else will like, or are you trying to buy a rig that you will like? Quit worrying about what everyone else thinks. It's your rig. Get what you want. I'm not worried about it just getting opinions. I was worried about the white getting gruby and it appears from alot of peoples input I was right to be worried bout it.

  24. Ok rethinking the white back to the design board. I'm not the rope totin charlie Bronson wanna be that's getting us fucking lost.
