  1. How long does it take to do a continuity check? "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken
  2. "No,sir. I'm not repairing or altering my main parachute... I just never finished building it." "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken
  3. It's news to me... I work too much. On the drive home I notice tons of choppers hovering over my neighborhood... come to find out some woman was kidnapped. Maybe I'll walk around the backyard... "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken
  4. ... think it's cool to post on DZ.com w/ wi-fi connection from a PSP!
  5. Cypres2 All the major brands have owners manuals available on-line. Read them and pick the one you like best. "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken
  6. It's raining in SW Florida... we may see a low tomorrow below freezing. "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken
  7. Why not play along and pepper them with questions? I got the New York Times to hang up on me. "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken
  8. Doh! You should have asked him to explain how you can breathe in freefall and explain why you go up when the parachute opens and what those little parachute thingy's are and then asked him how far he can swoop... and... You could have strung him along for a few free pitchers & shots... geez. edit: next time you see him ask him to explain BASE jumping and those wingsuit things.. How long has the phrase "b a s e j u m p i n g" been automatically hotlinked? "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken
  9. Wow. Joe Biden got on the list twice. I think the chick should have been #1. Billy, this one's for you...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WALIARHHLII&feature=related "uh, yeah... ah can't find americuh on uh map 'cus uh... ah ain't got no map! duh." "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken
  10. Agree to a certain extend. On the other hand, when getting custom, if the company offers cordura for any part of the suit, I'd get it. Cordura ass, knees, and booties will save you a lot of money in the long run. - Dan G I agree. Get the cordura extras and buy the suit in black w/ a single contrast color for the grips. Black hides the dirt better than any other color and it looks good on video. "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken
  11. At least ask for a reach around... "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken
  12. Do a search... the last time this topic came up I offered to give my copy to anyone who wanted it... it sucks bad. I think I mailed it to someone in Texas...
  13. Something is fishy with the seller's story. It sounds like you've got a 10 year old canopy that's out of trim. Send it in to PD and have new lines put on it.
  14. So how do you feel about slot switchers? Do you like flying tail, center, point or are you more of a flaker? Four-way Makes Pimps Out of Everyone! "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken
  15. a muster of Messerschmidts? "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken
  16. Amen brother. If you're not too stoned... Here's some Noam Chomsky for ya... Unfortunately this may be the end of my contribution on this topic (I don't read SC) which is where this will be in... 3....2....1.... "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken
  17. That's the hangar... I think the third one is Skydive Tecumseh's Otter they bought from Skydive Chicago a few years ago (same fleet paint job). "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken
  18. It's much more than the slogan. "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken
  19. Pet Peeves 1. hoop earrings 2. dangling earrings 3. blue eye shadow Unless you're a pirate; then it's cool. 4. left lane squatters 5. cell phones in movie theaters 6. movie theater "talkers" "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken
  20. artistcalledian (artist called ian) got a notable mention... I can't believe no one has mentioned AlexCrowley or peacefuljeffrey. Not certain if they qualify as trolls but I sure could eat a lot of popcorn reading their posts. "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken
  21. Right on! Transformers and Live Free or Die Hard were both better than this move. "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken
  22. Focus on #2 and have a coach to debrief the jumps. Try to learn something each jump that will improve the team's ability to turn more points after the hill. As you develop a team rhythm the pace will pick up on it's own. Eventually the confidence & anticipation of turning lots of points off the hill will begin to creep into faster transitions on the hill.
  23. Assuming your packing technique is good; If you're having hard openings with the Sabre nearly any other canopy would be an improvement. On the other hand you can get slammer openings on any parachute if your packing is junk. If you liked the vengeance, you might consider the Lotus or Samurai from Bigairsportz. All three are airlocked canopies. "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken
