  1. Although it takes you to the new ads for the day, if there are more than 25 ads for the day, there is no link for the next page of ads. This behavior can be seen on May 19th & 20th if you need an example. Thanks! Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  2. Me too, but only trying to view... Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  3. I spoke with him after his last modification - he said he had decided to give up some of the quickness in turning for longer swooping... He's getting over a five second swoop out of it at the moment (wish I could do that!). Can't wait Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  4. My wife and I also took the course with Scott - She learned a lot of physics 101. I learned 2 stage flare technique - it was also my first 4 jumps on a Stiletto. I felt much more confident when we returned to the DZ... We both had less than 100 jumps at the time; I think it was worth the money (then) and we are planning on attending another class later this summer.

  5. I found clicking the refresh button after getting the error works during high bandwidth loading... Give it a try & good luck trying to win my Spectre Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  6. I've seen number 2 with different colors - it looks good as well, but I liked number 1 best! Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  7. Sweet shots Tony - wish I had your skills! Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  8. Great photos Tony - nice work! Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  9. T1 at work We tech heads have all the toys! Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  10. How about an animation of the reserve popping out after hitting the ground...sort of a post mortem deploy . I've got a couple of guys I work with who'd be all over this when you get it finished-keep us posted! Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  11. Going to a wedding that weekend-sorry, we'll miss you guys... I haven't seen anyone with a tube for a while (bring yours), but there are a couple Birdman pilots around. Have fun-weather's been hit or miss lately! Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  12. I found this method very effective for new canopies (I've had two so far). Although, I roll the tail better than the pictures show (unless you want to know what a reserve feels like!): http://www.skyxtreme.com/archive/april_may2001/safety04.html Good luck Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  13. My Stiletto did the same at even a lighter loading... Try to keep still in the harness and keep your hands on the rear risers for anything beyond slight harness input. Also, I found using a bungie between the leg straps will lessen the harness inputs (intentional or otherwise). Relax-it will come as you get familiar with it.

    Ditto-Thanks! Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  15. We're planning on Saturday...see you then! Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  16. I agree with you for the most part Ron; freefliers should go last...and I'm one jumping at Z-hills. But, there were more freefliers jumping spaceballs in prior years-that meant getting out over the swamp (usually first) and pulling higher to get back to the DZ. To keep it simple, the freefliers sat together in the back. Did it evolve out of this good reason into just habit? (I don't know) Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  17. I don't know how I missed the helicopter on the calendar - Michelle and I really wanted to do a jump or two! Any chance you'll have one back anytime soon? Todd & Michelle Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  18. Same here-I've had good luck with this method! Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  19. You can call PD and request a demo canopy for very cheap ...I tried several before my purchase. Be honest with them (and yourself) and they may be able to give you more help! (Kola was very helpful) Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  20. You might want to post this in the Swooping and Canopy Control forum... Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  21. You can get the Video or DVD from http://www.gear-store.com/ , but it's very short. Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  22. Too late-I got it for Christmas... The first part wasn't bad, but way short on the footage. The "bonus" footage from Road to Muffstock was painful to watch...would have been a lot better to fill the tape with more mals/saves. The AFF segment convinced me I don't want to be an AFF instructor! Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  23. Nice pics! Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility.
  24. My wife (Michelle) and I are looking forward to meeting you; please look us up on the weekend!
