  1. Well, hopefully that pilot ( and all pilots ) have a working radio. To hear the call out from the jump plane pilot......."Jumpers out over ........( fill in the blank )" I've seen rouge aircraft fly right across drop zones during jump runs, on non-cloud days. I watched one jumper in freefall ( from the ground ), and a plane under the jumper's altitude, coming in at a 90 deg. angle. All I could do was watch as the two lines came to a perfect intersection ( they did not hit each other ). Cloud clearance is less of an issue than pilots crossing thru "known jump run areas", in my opinion. Life is short ... jump often.
  2. Nvertigo - V.....from myself......Merry Christmas Mike Life is short ... jump often.
  3. Along with everything else said here....Don't forget to figure your "exit weight" ( that's the weight of you, your cloths, shoes, container, main, reserve, helmet, etc., all combined ). Then, size your main and reserve accordingly ( conservatively ). Life is short ... jump often.
  4. BTW cookies made with 5 leaved vegetables rock QuoteThrow the leaves in the trash.....use the BUD dude......PS....You owe BEER..... First time the canopy went in the bag for you... Life is short ... jump often.
  5. I haven't seen a mention of "Bomber" by Flitesuit. Life is short ... jump often.
  6. Congrats..........are you sure they didn't say 5 weeks ?........May is 5 months out...... Life is short ... jump often.
  7. Was it the young crew of 3, or the 2 older guys ? Life is short ... jump often.
  8. KingAir....too small a door.....wing in your face. Perfect speed is....being there. Life is short ... jump often.
  9. Might have been a little "A" sex going on there . Fantastic landing on hard ground. Stand it up or else. Great video. I would do it if I had a willing girl. Maybe a little bit of face to vagina docking would be fun Life is short ... jump often.
  10. Owners who jump with their pets have no idea whether or not they are enjoying themselves and so it seems fairly selfish... QuoteUsing "Ottis" as an example of a dog who is a regular "fun jumper". He knows what is coming, and enjoys it ( yes....he told me so...). Does anyone reading this have an exact ( or close ) number of his jumps ? Life is short ... jump often.
  11. I think the smile on his face says it all...........RIP Life is short ... jump often.
  12. What is the purpose of Scotch Guarding a wingsuit ? Is equally effective on the different materials ( balloon, etc. ) ? Life is short ... jump often.
  13. ...................... Life is short ... jump often.
  14. As for the tension knot on the reserve....a hook knife on the offending line would solve the problem. QuoteA hook knife was my first thought for the main line over, if it is a quick visual on the line, and you have altitude, cut the line then assess the situation..............if you have the altitude, of course. Life is short ... jump often.
  15. Get a HOT girlfriend, who will jump with you on every jump. Have her stay on your main side, facing your pilot chute hackey. When you give her the nod, she can deploy your pilot chute............ Life is short ... jump often.
  16. I guess your instructor is assuming that you will be conscious during your reserve ride, and will be able to flare your highly loaded reserve. Life is short ... jump often.
  17. Actually, he asked when we would see the first BASE-Tridem...( three jumpers ).....Tandem BASE is "old news".....$ 100 / jump in Twin Falls ID......everyday....... Life is short ... jump often.
  18. Try to avoid hard openings........ Life is short ... jump often.
  19. From watching the exit, I would guess that this is not the first time he has done this "triple". I bet the first exit didn't go as well. Think how a cutaway, with this group, might go.....especially with no rsl.......arms and legs everywhere...... Life is short ... jump often.
  20. Do what makes you happy..........( don't sell your rig though )........... Life is short ... jump often.
  21. Do a late sunset jump, and let the low, orange Sun reflect onto it. Jumpers could have feet pointining to the Sun positions, to see the color on the ball. Put a tail ( small pilot chute ) on it, as a ball with no tail will wander. Let it hit the ground like all the other crap that people have hucked out of planes...... Life is short ... jump often.
  22. QuoteSince he has told you what he wants, Smile, say I love you, take him on his favorite road trip or other vacation destination, and never mention his condition again. Let him live his life. Be his best friend until the end. Life is short ... jump often.
  23. I wonder if they follow the same " He who smelt it, dealt it " rules. They are only human, and are likely to blame it on the other guy ( or girl )....... Life is short ... jump often.
  24. So........what you're trying to tell us......without really saying it, is,,,,,,,,,you are really a closeted bondage participant ( or wanna be )............. Life is short ... jump often.
