Im sure you are going to put them right out of business. Not really much to debate, but you know just as well as everyone that AAD's for whatever the reason have saved more than they have killed. Why do you jump a square as opposed to rounds? Is it the technology? Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.

At 1:40 she cuts away, THEN starts scrabling to find her reserve handle. http://vimeo.com/14019614 what do you all think? This was not how i was trained, but im just curious. Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.

man he should have paid your way for the help lol. looks super fun! Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.

I will borrow the money needed for you to come over here. Come on, drinks and food and bed are free for you (for a week), just bring your big mouth and make me happy listening to it live. You can punch me too, no sex. This is really a friendly invitation, I have a spare room

I see, thanks for the clarification. Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.

I'm just curious, how did they collect? What was stopping them from just not paying and leaving? Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.

what the hell are you talking about? I was sticking up for you. yeah you got it right, everyone with a lifted truck is compensating for something else. sorry us "skydivers" are not as cool as you basejumpers. At least we would be smart enough to do a search on a topic thats pretty well documented before posting. HERE IS A LESSON FOR YOU IN FORUMS: when you see someone replied, take the 3 nanoseconds it takes to see who they replied to before you open your mouth. Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.

who are you? I dont even think you are qualified to make such a jump so what do you care chief? Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.

nice clean layout. great pictures as well. the only thing I would reccomend is changing the slide out gallery. It took me a few minutes to figure it out. When i clicked on BASE pictures just the one came up and I almost left the site, not seeing the ltttle dot on the right that showed more. Just a though Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.

maybe we should just stone him Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.

proper AAD cutter orientation and placement. Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.

it normally costs about 1500 to get through AFF and on solo status. That is what a lot of people do, then its like 25-40 per jump after that and you just jump when you can to get to your 25th. The best advice I can give is to stay as current as possible. I had a friend make it to his AFF CAT 5 before the summer ended last year. He had to repeat a few levels when he came back after the winter. Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.

Keep in mind that the 2 - 4 minute blocks are priced at around $25/hr compared to the volume blocks that are closer to $10/hr. You wouldn't be saving as much as you think. what tunnel is $25/hr? I want to go lol. Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.

I have a question. And I mean no harm or accusation. But why don't you and your husband just leave, go to another DZ and be done with it? I don't know you, but it sounds like you almost like the drama. Why go back? Why even show up? Put yourself in the DZO's shoes. I really want to be clear, I know nobody in this incident. Just an outsider looking in with questions. Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.

That's OK.... No need to touch it, the RSL/Skyhook/AAD will take care of it... how will the RSL or skyhook work with no main out? Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.

If I understand correctly what you are describing it is someone rolling the nose to slow down the opening. You can do this with a pro-pack or a psycho pack. sorry i should be more clear. when you look at it on the floor you count the 4 left cells out, then the 4 right and part the packjob. you then roll each group of 4 cells towards the middle. you end up with two rolls right next to eachother with the center cell in the middle. its not necessarily to slow it down, just to make it more compact and easy to manage. its the first .30 seconds of this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qICN19uaRE edited: to add video Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.

fun? at least get some instruction/advice in person before you go off and have "fun" jumping a mystery/experimental packjob. Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.

Ive seen that done, they make 2 rolls out of the nose, and keep the center cell in the middle. I have also seen it just laid on its back, then the tail is pulled to make a triange. air pushed out, then each half is folded inwards and met at the middle before rolling. both have been called "physco packing", again its the rolling of the canopy that basically defines physco packing.

I asked at a local sky venture near me, they told me with building it cost about 6 million. You could contact Skyventure corprate and they should be able to tell you as they are a franchise. Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.

Who's going to stop someone from ordering a whole spool of it on paragear and pencil packing their own reserve? I dont know, it just seems like there must be a better way than having something that can potentially cause a major problem. Maybe the USPA should have a central database for all riggers to update. Using the serial number from the rig and reserve, they send a simple email to a database admin that works at the USPA and they update it. Just a thought.... Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.

Why does lead need to be used in the first place? I know it has a seal pressed in, but the pack card has the info as well. Why cant just thread be used, no lead? Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.

Very well put. Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.

I don't know what "law" your sheriff follows, but where I'm from, a gun compliant is ALWAYS investigated. They don't give 2 shits about witnesses etc. You call the police and say someone has a gun, there will be 5 cruisers there in a matter of minutes and they will find out what really happened. That is why it is a little questionable in my mind, unless people pulling guns on people is "normal" where you live. Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.

God that give me the willies! A good reminder to check your pins, not jsut that there in but correctly routed! This is really scary, I bet the owner was a little sick seeing that. Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.

thanks for all your replies, I have an old vector container I am packing it in too so I am stowing the lines also. Ill check staples, im so dumb i didnt even think of that. Moriuntur omnes, sed non omnes vixerunt.
