  1. Tonight 10/25/14 - Game 4 - World Series. Second Best Star Spangled Banner Ever. Carlos Santana. Best, of course, was by Jimi Hendrix.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2fpEreyqnM What do you think about it ? Life is short ... jump often.

Life is short ... jump often.
  3. Go to Para-gear.com and search for camera "L" brackets or side mountable camera boxes (to match your video cam). Example Sony CX100/110 etc. Life is short ... jump often.
  4. Quote EH ? ( Don't ya know ) Life is short ... jump often.
  5. That entire rig, Container, Main, and Reserve with age and jump numbers should cost $1200 USD or less. Life is short ... jump often.
  6. As for your arch posture, stand up in front of a wall with your toes a foot away and do your arch. Only your dick (if you have one), should touch the wall. Life is short ... jump often.
  7. He is...in a criminal court of law. Didn't need it at the Salem witch trials, they confessed. Before they were burned at the stake. By the god squad.. I believe the god squad would just set them on fire right off the bat. If they died, they were innocent. Gotta love the self righteous, right ? Life is short ... jump often.

    I second that suggestion. One more and it's a done deal. Life is short ... jump often.
  9. Wait until it rains heavy, Skydive Sac's pond will fill right back up ...... Life is short ... jump often.

    What other fun hobby has the word "work" in it? Sudwerk ................. Also, you can be relative and still not be in a formation. Life is short ... jump often.
  11. Glad you had fun on your tandem jump. You're not too old to become a regular jumper. I started at 37 and have 1800 jumps now. Good luck in your adventure. Life is short ... jump often.
  12. That's a hell of a way to plant a Pumpkin Patch ...
  13. Somewhat related is being aware on every exit of slop seat belts laying on the floor in front of the door, and stowing them out of the way, for anyone after me. Once I saw a student re-buckling the seat belt at the end of the bench right in front of the door. I nicely mentioned NEVER EVER. Life is short ... jump often.
  14. Wear a GoPro ...... Life is short ... jump often.
  15. If the switch works on a Sony Alpha NEX 3N, shouldn't it work on a NEX 5N ? My 5N already has a "Hacked" switch attached, but it would be nice to know this is available. Which port does it attach to ? Life is short ... jump often.
  16. How is the guy who hit the ground face first ? Life is short ... jump often.
  17. Probably not a jumper, but a great comedian. Honorary Mention. Life is short ... jump often.
  18. Wings containers, PD canopies. You can find them (some of them) sitting on the shelf. No waiting. Life is short ... jump often.
  19. Man / Women vs Wild is a fun show also. The part in the helicopter was obviously set up for regular jumpers to pick apart, humorously. He's sitting with the door open, both guys chest straps are obviously tucked under the main lift webs, slapping Bear in the face, and he has to pull his out of his face while talking about safety and grinning about it ....... I figure they both had seat belts on at that time. Dorky move but.......... Life is short ... jump often.
  20. Steady Shot is always OFF for skydiving a CX (110). Also Autofocus is OFF. Life is short ... jump often.
  21. I just watched this video. The same thing happened to me on May 10 in California. It's not a joke. I was jumping video so no one else was hurt. A helicopter ride. A week in the hospital. My arm is still in a cast. I'm still in pain when I walk. I'm lucky ....... Life is short ... jump often.
  22. You can buy a NEW Infinity or Wings container .... in your size, and sized for your reserve and main for less than $ 2000. Life is short ... jump often.
  23. Sorry Bunny .... . It's a sad day. Life is short ... jump often.
  24. If you actually get to terminal, is a big pilot chute really a good idea ? Too big might give you a hard opening, right ? Life is short ... jump often.
