  1. Actually unless I misunderstood you again (and what are the odds of that) you did. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=3905799#3905799
  2. . Let me clear that “curiosity” (i.e. criticism) up for you … Offended because a manufacturer is using cheesy sexual innuendo as a marketing practice, to target men while completely leaving out the female consumer, does NOT make me uptight. (Keep in mind that I own a Mirage and was about to order another.) O I hoped I could make the observation without offending you but I as usual I was wrong. I am Sorry. I am trying to think of a product I buy despite not being the target audience of their advertising. Can’t think of any off hand but I’m sure I do. I have to believe you do too. If you do, what makes this one any different? If you don’t, I am wrong. That is why I thought you were offended and decided against buying a Mirage because I think we all buy things that may not direct their advertising towards our own demographic. edit to add: "manufacturer is using cheesy sexual innuendo" We are skydivers, what do you expect. I have a Javelin so I think it's a great choice.
  3. One seems uptight and easily offended and the other one... not so much. .
  4. I am having trouble with these two posts from you and I'm not sure why. The two just don't seem to jive. I can't figure you out. Not being critical, just curious. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=3904774#3904774 http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=3914706#3914706 .
  5. Mmmm... Luwak coffee http://www.davebarry.com/misccol/decaf.htm
  6. Good luck, be safe and have fun! Hey Skymama, How do you know she has a good "tunnel" and is that what the kids are calling it now days?
  7. Shortsighted? I haven't seen a skydiving magazine ad create such a discussion since years ago when Truffer's "Skydiving" published the infamous chick-in-a-bathtub-full-of-hotdogs ad. This ad generated "buzz"; Nuff said. So how good was that add? Does anyone remember what the chick-in-a-bathtub-full-of-hotdogs add was for?... .
  8. Sorry if it has been posted before. Just reminds me of some takeoffs at a few DZs . http://www.alexisparkinn.com/photogallery/Videos/2008-2-9-Il76-in-Australia.wmv .

    STOL

    Short field? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0G0HdF3w1Y
  10. No, no, no it’s… just a jump to the left And then a step to the right With your hands on your hips You bring your knees in tight But it's the pelvic thrust that really drives you insane, Let's do the Time Warp again! Sorry
  11. Couldn't you just eat the horse?... Save on groceries and horse related expenses. I worked in a meat packing plant for a few years I could help. You would probably need a good size freezer though. Taste like chicken… Good luck and welcome to the sport. Hope to see you at STL
  12. Just an FYI. From paralog.net “Paralog 5.3 adds support for the new N3A audible by Alti-2 as well as the AltiTrack altimeter from Larsen & Brusgaard.”
  13. The JAVELIN ODYSSEY manual reads "Set the top of the toggle into the Type 3 keeper, with the brake to toggle excess loop towards the outboard side, and brake line to the inboard"
  14. From the cover of SKYDIVING Issue #306: January 2007: 12/15/06 Jim Krisovitch and Chuck McElwee prepare to jump from a (I believe) 1957 Piper PA-22-150. http://www.skydivingmagazine.com/backissu/2007.htm See photo
