  5. unfortunately culling the stupid isn’t a reasonable option and i hate to bound by the limitations of the lowest common denominator..freedom is more precious than safety "one law for lion and lamb is oppression" ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  6. no actually losing control of your vehicle is the reason for accidents. being drunk is only a contributing factor. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

  9. People die from skydiving all the time. But: how many people die from skydiving when they have smoked pot, not the night before... but the day of their jump? And how many of these people are AFF instructors, who KNOW better. The poster's argument is completely baseless and doesn't provide any factual information to conclude that this incident was not primarily driven by anything other than marijuana. actually i haven’t seen/heard any factual information (aka evidence) that points to marijuana as the cause of this accident. definitions are very important. why did he die? he hit the water at a high angle of attack/rate of speed. why did he do that? he initiated his turn to low. why did he do that? no one will ever know! I am in no way advocating jumping while impaired. i am simply pointing out that there is no way to determine factuallywhy he turned so low. More importantly IMO is the observation that several people have made that he apparently did not have much experience swooping. Add that to that the difficulties involving depth perception and water and I think you are closer to a real cause. Marijuana is just another contributing factor. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  10. so does that mean you show your pink butt while in the air? ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  11. i used to climb alot, but mostly just to get to the really good rappels.. skydiving takes care of the freefall fix for me..although i do occasionally miss the ground rush from an inverted trust fall.....wheeeeeeeee! ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

  17. Why does anyone think it is necessary to look to man for the words of god? Can you not hear the wind as you step from the door? Find meaning in sunlight, its there if you have eyes to see. Is the smell of the grass to obscure? Why bury the word in the ramblings of men, particularly men from the most fought over piece of land on earth? Every moment you spend reflecting, praying for or about something is a moment you are not living, a time when you missed the flow of life and instead focused on yourself. “You can never step into the same river twice” Religion is a method of control. The paths to the divine are infinite; blind faith in anyone else’s vision of god is the only true “sin”. look, feel and decide for yourself. The answers you quote from someone else’s mythology make you blind to any other idea of god. Just be. No intentions and light will come… (lately i find it at the edge of the door) ---------------------- "you could make a choice, but you never learned to think" -FW A part of the Machine

    actually its only 45 min if you leave early enough its I-10 to Toltec rd (exit 203 i think) take a left over the interstate and take your FIRST right (looks like it goes back to the Interstate, but it goes behind the super8) cross the railroad tracks take a right and then the next left.. you'll see the signs for the Bent Prop etc...at that point you can follow the canopies.. hope to see you there i'll be around all weekend unless something changes... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

  23. exactly Hell my JM (gotta love joe) had to keep telling me to lighten up, this isnt the military...and you know what? once i learned to relax my flying improved immensely. most of the "hard" types dont have a clue.. "hard" breaks, eventually, everytime. flexibility is the real answer. trollboy obviously hasnt met any real military. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
