  1. zing! You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  2. Just saw this on FB a few hours ago. Good read. You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  3. All the cool fun stuff requires a solid foundation if you want to go anywhere with it. Build your base skills. Getting into the habit of trying things when no one is looking is bad mojo. It'll catch up to you sooner or later, and not necessarily a simple, "Hey, don't do that." You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  4. When I had a PIC (jump 31), I initially thought it was a bag lock. I was obviously really new, and all I really knew in that split second was that I tossed my chute and nothing was happening at all. I looked as best I could for a split second and saw "something" (PC, obviously) and assumed that was the bag. So I did a peel, pull, punch and landed only then to find out that I had a PIC. From then on, Every time I pitch, I look over my shoulder and wait to see that bag come off my back so I know exactly what I've got over my head. Once I see the bag, I return to a normal head position. You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  5. We have to pass it in order to find out what's in it! You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  6. Why do you assume God does and why do you have to cling to lazy one liners ripped off someone else? You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  7. How do you know? Have you personally looked at every case throughout history? Of course not. While it may not be likely that such a thing will occur, it doesn't mean it will never or has never. Besides, I can't really think of one religion out there where God/gods are more concerned about a lost limb than some intrinsic factor with people. Only the shallow think prayer is suppose to be a smorgas board of wish fulfillment. You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  8. Oh, that was fast. They threw it out / reversed themselves already. http://www.9news.com/news/story.aspx?storyid=349123 You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  9. October 2: Crime jumps 30% in Oakwood Apartments in Castle Rock. Experts baffled. More at 11. You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  10. Hows that? More wars, more secrets, more scandals, more spending, less jobs, etc. under O than B. You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  11. How on earth does someone like that get a rating AND keep it? AHA! Because knowledge is not a requirement for an AFF rating. Requirements: Fly and properly regurgitate two ISP category ground preps as only that AFFCD wants. But you already knew all that... I can begrudgingly see how you could get by the tests and what not, but once at the DZ, it baffles me that someone in charge wouldn't know (or be informed of the fact) that one of their AFFIs that's suppose to be teaching first time jumpers can't even read the wind chart.

  12. How on earth does someone like that get a rating AND keep it? You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  13. No. There is life off of a DZ. I am not suicidal, and that is what your request would require. This. You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  14. I usually pull by 3.5, sometimes closer to 3k. You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  15. Core / yoga will do wonders for you also on awkward / off landings too. You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  16. Where was their outrage when they shafted Ron Paul with a whopping 90 seconds of time? You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  17. I swear by my P90X/P90X2 yoga. You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  18. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b90EzNNrQ2M That would do it for, "How close to death is enough to feel like you almost died?". That guy with a loose cheststrap, had he not had an AAD, would be a pancake right now. Catching a gear error on someone before they even board the plane is closer to "normal" than it is to "almost died." Hell, I must have saved a few student lives by now if all I had to do to "save" them was to say, "Hey...what about this?" You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  19. 1. 282 2. 1 3. Container lock from a misrouted bridle You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  20. What actions exactly did he take that made him a vigilante? As far as I can tell, GZ never once summarily decided to punish TM. You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  21. Change we can believe in. You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  22. We should outlaw killing people. Then it will stop. You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
  23. I see what you're saying, and I've thought similar things before, but I was being quite simplistic in my comment. It wasn't the Republicans that were staunchly opposed to women being granted the right to vote when it passed, it was the Democrats (same thing with civil rights as well). You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.

  25. Oh, you mean like the right to vote? Oh wait... You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
