  1. It would be called a stairstep. John Arizona Hiking Trails
  2. Nice quark reference. I like it! I discovered gray recently too. I have dyed my hair for so long I never noticed. I let it go natural and OMG there's old man hair near my ears. My wife tells me it has been there a long time but I am just noticing. John Arizona Hiking Trails
  3. As the sport evolves, I can imagine a combining of disciplines. I think it would be an interesting nationals to have only one 4-way competition that involved: 3 rounds of traditional belly fly 3 rounds of compulsory Freefly 2 rounds of CRW 2 rounds of hybrid Or some other combination. It would truly find the best overall skydivers, not necessarily the best at their specialty, John Arizona Hiking Trails
  4. Because SC is South Carolina! John Arizona Hiking Trails
  5. The US Sweeps the RW events! Congratulations Airspeed, & Synchronicity France and Russia dominate the lesser disciplines. John Arizona Hiking Trails
  6. When we had a situation that required extended training out of a King Air, our coach advised us to just pick a single bullet proof exit that we could launch and transition from easily. We chose a Satellite. The thought process is that you are training your freefall skills and your sub-terminal transitions. No need to waste effort learning a lot of exits you will never use. Practice exits when you get the opportunity to jump the competition aircraft. John Arizona Hiking Trails

    1000!!!!

    Congratulations!! A very wise friend explained to me what it means to have a 1000 jumps. It means you have spent at least $20,000 on skydiving. John Arizona Hiking Trails
  10. Some old ones from days gone by: Rudders and Udders 10 boobs (8-way team with one female member)' The guys I slept with Its OK, I dont hacve a Cypres John Arizona Hiking Trails
  11. A better topic is how to get head out of your woman. John Arizona Hiking Trails
  12. Nope. Buzzard-Buzzard has four solos do 360's and the two compressed pieces spin 360 as well. I have not done the block in competition so I will discuss he general technique of spinning a compressed. On the key, the inside person steps forward and into the legs of the outside person. This will "open the door" for the outside person to move similarly through the spot where the insides knees were. This will 180 the piece. Now repeat with he new inside making the first move. By having the inside make the move first, the outside person has the ability to control proximity as they come to the center. John Arizona Hiking Trails
  13. What my wife says after I spend the day skydiving! Marge: All right, all right, now, you're over stimulated. Let's get some beer in you, and then it's right to bed. Homer: Woo hoo! [running] Beer, beer, beer, bed, bed, bed! John Arizona Hiking Trails
  14. It took me 15 jumps including my grad dive. John Arizona Hiking Trails
  15. I want to join in the thanks. Joe and Kevin hosted a great camp. The learning was fierce and everyone had a great time. John Arizona Hiking Trails
  16. I do not wear one. Someone else usually gets scared before i do
  17. She lifts the restraining order John Arizona Hiking Trails
  18. I will be there. It is always a great time! John Arizona Hiking Trails
  19. Are you referring to a "center point turn"? That refers to your center point, not the center point of the formation. It means turning about your belly button a opposed to turns about your head, chest or knees. John Arizona Hiking Trails
  20. Just remember, if you encounter a bear you should not try to out run the bear. You only need to out run whoever you are hiking with. John Arizona Hiking Trails
  21. What would Jesus do? He'd be Jewish! He was last time.
  22. Watch your video with attention to the presentation of the entire piece to the relative wind. Just because it does not funnel, does not mean the piece is presented correctly. If you break a piece that is cut into the relative wind you will likely end up with bodies everywhere. As suggested, flying no-contact will immediately show how dependent you are to hanging on! John Arizona Hiking Trails
  23. Good advice... A very experienced friend of mine once explained what having 1000 jumps means. It means you have spent $20,000 jumping out of airplanes. As I approach 3000 jumps I wonder what else I could have done with that $60,000 Congratulations on hitting 4 digits. John Arizona Hiking Trails
  24. Age is only protected above the age of 40. John Arizona Hiking Trails
  25. Its not illegal to discriminate because of outside activities, it is only illegal to discriminate because of race, gender, religion, national origin, handicap, and in some circumstances age and sexual orientation. Discrimination for almost any other reason is legal! For example you can usually discriminate against smelly people, obnoxious people, untalented people, dangerous people, orphans, fat people, cat owners, and people under 40. I underline usually because some lawyer out there will cite some screwed up case where a obnoxious, fat, smelly, cat owner who killed both of his parents at the age of 20 was awarded some obscene about of money because he could not get a job.
