  1. it is actually really awesome if you are in the right kind of environment. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  2. parabola http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3R4zkblHZk "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  3. she probably wasn't expecting a shot in her mouth until her movie later that day "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  4. talk with an instructor and get them to explain the pendgulem effect and how the flare changes the angle of flight. if you really understand what the parachute is doing during a flare, you can figure the flare out take a video camera and go film some landings. watch these videos whenever you have free time. we only get a little bit of practice each time we make a skydive. a lot of the things you learn on the ground, so get out in the lz and watch landings, and try to talk an instructor into going with you to explain stuff. ill leave the under canopy advice to the up-jumpers, but if there are canopies in the air you can learn from them.

  5. i still have nightmares anytime i see a beer can "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  6. This is what the SIM (Section 5-1 Skydiving Emergencies) says: Maybe you should read the SIM again. what are some pros and cons for the two different ways? "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  7. 6'3" and 220 lbs. in American scale. That's only a bit taller than usual, and for your height, that's not a lot of excessive weight. So you're "big", certainly, but it's not like you're a huge fat guy. Rig makers won't have any trouble at all building a rig for you. There are LOTS of 220 lb. skydivers out there, most of whom are more bigger around than they are tall. yep, folks like me "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  8. http://www.chutingstar.com/ call them and ask
  9. if you think you might want to get into skydiving, do aff. if you dont like it or your nerves get you, all you gotta do is not jump again. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  10. dont freak out about it, its just a skydive. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YersIyzsOpc "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  11. suprisingly, i didnt get anything stupid this year. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  12. well least year it was to loose weight. i've knocked off 55lbs. this year i think my resolution will be to skydive more
  13. Mitch, talk to me when you get here. I did not teach you that and I'll want to know who did. There are some things you'll need to know. BTW, it's bridle. I man it's not like we asking you to get married, right? i misunderstood the video. i have rewatched it and i realize now that he was just using the bridle as an example. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  14. And who here isn't what he said
  15. You think that getting ahold of your bridle is going to be any easier than finding your handle? Most of it is inside the pouch, with the PC... the rest is under flaps. Mid air rigging could get you killed, or worse, someone else. No comment. i meant a premature deployment, thanks andy. if the container is open but the pilot chute is still in the boc spandex, it might (just maybe) be possible (if not easier) to find the bridal and try to get the pilot chute out before going silver. i thought this was one of the main reasons for using the Germain method??? "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  16. this is the method i use for the pc. even if you cant find your handle, you can still get the pilot chute out if you can get a hold of the bridal (but this can cause another horseshoe around you if you aren't careful). ps: dont listen to me, i dont know shit, yet!!! "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  17. in georgia, the person who is commiting the crime must be inside your house (not on your property but actually inside), and you cant shoot them in the back if they try to flee. inside and facing you in order for it to be self defense. if not you get charged with at least manslaughter. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  18. everyone should have a hand made cock coat! "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  19. i FUCKING HATE christmas music. leave that shit alone for fuck's sake. christmas has been around for 100's of years and we still have the same damn songs. enough is fucking enough "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  20. Does that depend on how many SRMs* you're running? *Strokes per minute or your age??? "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  21. you might be onto something "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  22. We could start a new thread on the subject: "Should I bring my cellphone with me while skydiving?" I bet it'll be lively. i would say yes, bring it in case you land off. i wouldnt ever use it under canopy though. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  23. yeah but if you have a cutaway at 14k, you probably wont ever find your canopy/freebag. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  24. i'm 23. i didn't know, even on the internet, that there is such a big collection of old nasty pussy. maybe this should go into billy's thread, it is sick!!! "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
  25. i am one of those who wants to do base someday. hope i dont have to wait too much longer. "Never grow a wishbone, where your backbone ought to be."
