  1. 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."
  2. +1 this is a very personal decision. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  3. 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."
  4. 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."
  5. So is uncocked pc, but as history shows "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  6. Andy I want to talk to you about this whole cypress 2 reset after each jump this weekend. I haven't heard that before and have never done this for each jump. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  7. Sounds like a cool idea, I signed up. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  8. MIRAGEskydiver... you mean you dont make their panties drop. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  9. 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."
  10. 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."
  11. You going to post the photo of you posing? why not "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  12. i had an amazing time. thanks for putting that little shindig on Spence!!! i ended up on the first and last jump of the boogie, cant wait for next year!!! "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  13. 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. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  14. makes 5 gallons. handle of golden grain 2 cans mashed pineapple 1 jar maraschino cherries 2 liter minute maid lemonade rest fill with hawaiian punch "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  15. i could think of a few things "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  16. newer version, and much better than john lennon's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dunKAwRN3P8 "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  17. 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.

  19. find a friend who has a cell that works at fitz and forward your cell to theirs. might have to give them a bottle of liquor but it could work i have att and they do suck balls. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  20. 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."
  21. "suck my kiss" red hot chili peppers "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  22. 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. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  23. 1. yes 2. yes (30ishdollars) 3. yes 4. bring a super soaker and plenty of ice water "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
