Joe Jennings might know something about that video...

It takes me significantly more time to pull a d bag off if it has a larks head then it does to find my adjustable wrench and undo a rapide link.

How long does it take to do a continuity check?

heehee.
I remember what Dave DeWolfe said.

It went something like this...

... Anyone can build a main parachute. However, if something breaks on it they either have to be a rigger to fix it, hire a rigger to fix it or just build themselves a whole new parachute.

"No,sir. I'm not repairing or altering my main parachute... I just never finished building it."

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...

... think it's cool to post on DZ.com w/ wi-fi connection from a PSP!

All the major brands have owners manuals available on-line. Read them and pick the one you like best.

It's raining in SW Florida... we may see a low tomorrow below freezing.

Why not play along and pepper them with questions?

I got the New York Times to hang up on me.

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?

Wow. Joe Biden got on the list twice.

I think the chick should have been #1.

Get a used one until you have nailed your landings and are no longer sliding and rolling around and tearing it up.

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.

So, did you spoon with it or wrestle it out of the bed?

At least ask for a reach around...

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...

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.

A floater is when you poo into a toilet and the poo will not flush no matter how hard you try to flush it..
A whacker is someone that beats his woman...no matter how good she's been...
Both "dirt' and "Dive" are rude words in my vocabulary!

Sort your lives out you bunch of pervs!

So how do you feel about slot switchers? Do you like flying tail, center, point or are you more of a flaker?

To turn it on you mash the button and again after each flash. After the checks, if you don’t enter the setup mode, it flashes green and you get the smiley face.

What does the display show after the

If there is no altitude correction, the «Pro, Student or Tandem» mode stays displayed.
If an altitude correction was entered, the mode displayed will be, «P, S or T» respectively,
followed by a «+» or «-» sign preceding the value of the implemented altitude correction

Skydive Spaceland?

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).

It's much more than the slogan.

You know we have had some good one over the years. Who was your favorite?

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.

I call "The Emperor Has No Clothes" on the positive reviews this film has received.

Right on!

Transformers and Live Free or Die Hard were both better than this move.

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.

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.
