  1. if you kill a deer out of season you lose your vehicle and your gun. The reason they keep it even after it has been used against you in court as evidence is to discourage others from risking so much. the risk of losing your gear is to hopefully discourage some people from going ahead with the jump. however to most BASE jumpers the thrill of getting away with it is part of the rush. right or wrong they take your gear, I don't make the rules -- yet.

  2. i got a question how does that work? "the sweet just aint as sweet without the bitter "
  3. i made my FIRST HEADDOWN jump yesterday "the sweet just aint as sweet without the bitter "
  4. on my 21st jump i went from a falcon 235 to a sabre 150 with an exit weight of 170 and i did just fine it all depends on your abilities. just know this - first jump on the smaller canopy try to hit the peas and plf rather than try to stand up a landing on the solid frozen ground.

  5. The Princess Bride was and will always be my favorite movie of all time. "the sweet just aint as sweet without the bitter "
  6. i weigh 160 lbs. and i jumped a student gear (manta 288) first jump till #16 then went to student gear (falcon 235) untill #22 when i bought my sabre 150 had to re-finance my truck to pay for it but it's been worth it. i got a javelin container, sabre main, microraven reserve, and cypres with only 100 jumps for 3k.

  7. i ordered my suit 2 weeks ago and have had the best experience in the ordering process, but what i want to know is how is the suit holding up? i have heard they look great and are well built but no one has commented on how they are holding up after say 20 jumps or so. can't wait for it to show up because i have so many people who want to see it then they will probably buy one too. (149$ including shipping is an awesome price) "the sweet just aint as sweet without the bitter "
  8. i say leave it packed up and head for warmer climates "the sweet just aint as sweet without the bitter "
  9. what does it cost to jump from a helicopter? "the sweet just aint as sweet without the bitter "
  10. You didn't think that the reserve parachute never malfunctioned did you? _________________________________________________ I realize your reserve can malfunction i was only saying your main is more likely to malfunction than your reserve. "the sweet just aint as sweet without the bitter "
  11. Here is my question - if jumping and pulling your reserve before trying your main is so dangerous why are students told " in case of a low altitude plane emergency put your hands on the reserve handle, get out, and as you pass the tail pull the reserve" why don't we teach to go for the main? Isn't the reserve inspected and repacked by a rigger every 120 days and the main is just repacked by the owner? seems to me that the reserve would be more reliable than the main. if it's not why the hell am i trusting my life to it in case i have a bad day and do a shitty pack job.

  12. i personally think a 9mm is a pud gun what a waste of gunpowder and lead. i love my glock 21 (.45 for those who don't know) my glock and i have gone thru alot together - rain, sleet, snow, dirt, mud, cold, heat & anything else you can imagine and it still shoots as perfect as the day i bought it. "the sweet just aint as sweet without the bitter "
  13. i am using netzero (i know i'm cheap) less money on bills = more jump money - "the sweet just aint as sweet without the bitter "
  14. it takes forever and a day to write a post because when i look up after writing a sentence nothing is there but a F'in popup. how the hell do i get rid of them? - "the sweet just aint as sweet without the bitter "
  15. i have an entire room dedicated to guns. before i found skydiving i had to reload ammo at least 2 hrs. every night after work to keep up with my weekend shooting adventures. owning 180 acres is awesome some day i would like to have a chute and shoot - "the sweet just aint as sweet without the bitter "
