  1. Yes...but that would require me to find the broken flysight first!!! Performance Designs Factory Team
  2. Fortunately, this thinking will go the way of the dodo eventually. Unfortunately close minded people will move on to the next thing to hate/persecute/ostracize. Performance Designs Factory Team
  3. I'd be happy to share if I had some but I broke my flysight recently - doh! Performance Designs Factory Team
  4. The highest one you fly the most consistently and powerfully through the gates. Don't focus on wingloading is only a part of a really big equation. Performance Designs Factory Team
  5. I disagree. The Storm is a great canopy, and swoops really well. Performance Designs Factory Team
  6. Better to be on the ground than jumping in 25mph wind conditions . Performance Designs Factory Team
  7. Whatever your personal opinions of Kallend my be, I certainly hope you don't actually feed this way about educators Performance Designs Factory Team
  8. Hey, at least he's not using deceased skydivers names .......it'd be pretty low to sink to even that level.....oh...wait Performance Designs Factory Team
  9. Not sure. I believe Jeffro was one of them, I seem to remember him posting something on facebook a while back. Performance Designs Factory Team
  10. Yeah, time will tell for sure. Who knows!!
  11. I'll settle for something readable! Performance Designs Factory Team
  12. I honestly don't know. I just know he's pissed. Maybe it's specific departments? Performance Designs Factory Team
  13. Funny, my neighbor (a US Marshal) loses 1 day of work a week from his paycheck starting next month because of this. He doesn't seem to think it's 'scare tactics' Ian Performance Designs Factory Team
  14. The argument you are now attempting to make, makes no sense at all (and I'm not talking about religion here). You do realize that don't you.....? Performance Designs Factory Team
  15. Damn.... http://marvel.com/news/story/20205/watch_the_new_trailer_for_marvels_iron_man_3?utm_campaign=rss_feeds&utm_source=movie_detail_news&utm_medium=rss&utm_content=story-20205& Hope this makes up for the disappointing sequel. Performance Designs Factory Team
  16. You can still have a collapse due to turbulence when you're going really fast. Don't lull yourself into a false sense of security thinking otherwise. Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team
  17. Yes you are. Your statements cannot be read any other way than you believe God is the reason this cure exists. That or you're trolling. As for your good old "I'm rubber and you're glue" argument...Man up buddy. Own your beliefs, it's OK if not everyone shares them. Performance Designs Factory Team
  18. So wait, God is responsible when something good happens, but when it's something bad then 'oh, it's a choice thing' Silly. I understand that people tied to religion are going to make circular logic arguments to justify things - but sometimes I'm astounded at the inability to see faulty logic for what it is (note: not saying being religious is faulty logic, but rather that some of the logic used to justify things is). Still - if you want to believe that, go right ahead. I'm going to give credit where it's due, and that's the hard working scientists/doctors/etc Performance Designs Factory Team
  19. Nonsense. By that logic god is responsible for lazy people too. Performance Designs Factory Team
  20. From hard work actually. Performance Designs Factory Team
  21. I have no idea about Vigil's firing params (btw). Check with them for sure. Agreed! Always better to ask if you aren't sure Performance Designs Factory Team
  22. I'd love that for my shoes. Performance Designs Factory Team
  23. If it were me, I'd continue to jump with the Expert Cypres turned on until: 1) I was doing more than a 270 OR 2) My wingloading started to approach 2.4 Then, I'd upgrade to a Speed Cypres (it's a software mod that can be done on any Expert Cypres) and continue turning that one until by canopy size got sub 79 with loadings approaching 2.7 and higher, using multiple rotation turns (anything more than a 360). At the end of the day: I turn my AAD on at every opportunity, swoop jump or not, as long as I am sure to be outside of it's normal activation parameters. IMO you are a long way off from having to worry about firing an Expert or Speed Cypres - so while it's good to be aware of when it'll be time to reconsider this, I don't believe you are there yet.

  24. Again, in reference to the Industrial Military Complex. You appear to be missing his point. Edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military%E2%80%93industrial_complex Performance Designs Factory Team
