Awesome another skyride Groupon
thrillstalker replied to artard's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
i think this has already been answered. fuck skyride and asc and anyone who helps perpetuate this bullshit in our sport. has anyone tried taking this to the media? "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be." -
+1 this is a very personal decision. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

Thanks! Yes, as much as I really, really LOVE jumping off of things, the mechanics behind working a canopy are brand new to me, and navigating in wind concerns me a bit when it comes to landing where I need to. For now, at least. You will absolutely need those Mad skillz "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

Looking for the LOUDEST audible Altimeter?
thrillstalker replied to danornan's topic in Gear and Rigging
I have a question that pertains to audibles, but do not see a need for another thread. At what experience level should I get an audible? I haven't gotten one yet because i wanted to build altitude awareness and not become dependent on an audible. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be." -
Are pc's in tow completely preventable?
thrillstalker replied to Freeflaw's topic in Safety and Training
So is uncocked pc, but as history shows "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be." -
Sounds like a cool idea, I signed up. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

isn't it illegal for skydivers to drive new cars. i thought they were required to be old and shitty. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

hang in there buddy. better to be on the ground you were in the air than the other way around. i feel your pain, i sat at the dz and watched it rain all weekend "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

after 4 more levels, you get to exit however you want. freefall is the same after the first 10 seconds on anything you jump out of. you are planning on jumping out of the airplane. the worst that happens is you do all doors are the same, they lead to freefall. for me the airplane ride is only scary until i get to 1000 ft, then it's all good. when i see the door open it is time to get excited.

I know I have asked you this before, but why do you insist on referencing the FAA and American Law to people who do not live within their jurisdiction? gravity pulls the same on you wherever you are. if it is not safe to handle that weight in america, it is not safe to handle that weight in the netherlands. it doesn't matter if it is legal or not, it's stupid to not adhere to the manufactures recommendations. funny, the reserve's dont go bad in switzerland after 180 days, it takes a full year to do so. same gravity! leaving a reserve packed for a year is no big deal. but if you have to use that reserve, i would want my weight to fall in the parameters it is designed for. if parachute b is only designed for x amount of weight, then you should not overload it especially when it is your last chance. like i said in my earlier post, i don't care if it is legal or not and i have no idea what is legal and not. will the overloaded reserve work... good chance will the reserver loaded correctly work... great chance i know which one i will take.

that is more scary than landing off. few weeks ago i was doing a 2 way belly and first out. first thing we saw when we looked out was a fucking airplane right under us. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."

Indiana Skydiving Bill Dies in Committee
thrillstalker replied to 3331's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
it's not that big of a deal to me. my home dz is a uspa dz, and love the people there. "you need to pick which hill you are going to die on" is one of my favorite quotes. i dont care enough about uspa one way or the other to not jump at uspa member dz's.
