BPO

I don't think they have cheeseburgers in Ethiopia. as a matter of fact... they DO!

bwhahaha.. same here.. even after quickly reading the entire post I was thinking "what the hell does a blackberry have to do with this..".. nice!

Sucks! Well.. maybe your g/f can use your rig and make back-to-back's?

We ordered a laptop through the dell online shop. Arrived in two days, completely as ordered. Works great! YMMV :-)

not too long ago I saw a program on BBC.. about extreme breastfeeding. In the showteaser they showed a SIX year old getting under mum's sweater to drink some milk. THE MENTAL IMAGE STILL HAUNTS ME!

why wear a watch if you don't want to know what time it is? Just don't wear a watch.. See.. saved 10 bucks in the process

finally a test where I score above average! found him in one second... I'll go ask my boss for a major raise now!

done & good luck with the new server!

Very wise! Just thought I'd ask..

should you start to wear some weights, you might want to re-consider jumping a 120ft2 canopy..

If you're so content with your Diablo, then why don't buy another (used) ? There's a 135 in the classifieds here . And there are probably many more available second-hand.

a landing while going 70 mph downwards with no viable way to flare is not landing, it's a crash. Always pull your handles!

Sales are up! any chance of shipping it overseas?

1,20 euro per liter = 1.6USD per liter = 6,15USD per gallon. You Americans can't complain...

In comparison with the cobalt the nitro reacts a bit slower to toggle & harnass input. That's what I meant with it.

Anyone out here who has flown both the Nitro(n) and Cobalt (in same size?)? I can't seem to make up my mind. The Nitro opens quite nice, has lighter front-riser pressure than Cobalt and seems to have a shorter recovery-arch. The Cobalt 'feels' a bit more high-performance. I've jumped both chutes five times now, not really enough to get to know the differences well enough. Both chutes are 135 sqft. I have searched the forum for comparisons, anyone with some remarks about differences in flight-characteristics?

20 euro.. approx. 25USD

.. and you might want to remember to remove your dytter as well... .. nearly forgot to remove my pro-track..

1 pregnant wife :0:0 This weekend the weather sucked.. noting but rain, wind and clouds.. Better luck next weekend..

now, who does this remind me of...? man-BOOBS .. if this is considered NSFW you shouldn't be reading the forums during work

Hi Ton, I assume you are right. We are using the Sabres for four (maybe five) years now. Don't know for how long the Navigator is around though.

Sure.. I jump in the Netherlands, Hoogeveen to be specific. The winds are pretty different from day to day. We have Sabres ranging in size from 170 to 230. The 170 has a max student weight of aprox. 145 lbs, where the 230 has a max student weight of 220lbs (all excluding weight of rig). The large sizes (230, 210 and prob. the 190) are equipped with Phantom26' round reserves. The smaller chutes (190 and 170) might have a smaller reservesize. The rigs that are used are the Telesis Student harnasses. They will fit a student of every (allowable) length/weight. However, these rigs are not freefly-friendly.

Jup. That's the maximum wingload for students. This is the way it's been done for about four years now at our DZ. Without many problems, I might add. The parachute will usually not stall, not even when flared at 50ft up.

Thanks for the info Rob! At our dropzone our students jump with sabres ranging from 230 to 170 sqft. Maximum allowed weight is 220lbs, which hardly ever poses a problem. The sabres are not equipped with micro-lines but with really thick lines (don't know type) and I think the steering lines are a bit longer than they would usually be. I am sure Navigators can be more suitable for students. Thanks again for the useful info.

Can you explain why sabres are no longer considered to be a good option for students? Just curious..
