  1. "... and once you have tasted flight, you will walk the Earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you long to return...." Author Unknown to me After 10 years, I still look up at every plane I hear, even though I barely skydive anymore, and I MOST definitely look at every object with a gleam in my eye, because they know and crave that view the best!
  2. I've got video, of almost the same thing happening on a bandit jump at this location. Dropping through the arches on a 2way the high man exited first, and the low man had to ball up to avoid his deploying canopy. A strong crosswind probabily saved him more than anything else as it pulled the PC and canopy off to the left and out of the way of the 2nd guy. The LOW person SHOULD always give the count as they almost always seem to leave ahead of others. In this case the High man gave the count and left a split sec ahead of the other, which is all it took for the other too get directly above him considering they were jumping through a very narrow part of the bridge.

    Sucks . . .

    just got back from doing a solo off the local A. No witnesses, just those that pass to and fro unaware. The campers in the woods, though they had a large fire, never knew that eyes were upon them, looking down from above and wondering who they were and what they were thinking.I was their witness that they exist in life, but they were not mine. You my friend, are the witness for all of us that creep in the dark. A keeper of history, a teller of stories, a participant in our unique way of life. Most of all a writer and recorder. There are volumes of chapters yet to be written and talked about.........you wouldn't want to miss out on all the things that have yet to transpire would you????? May we live long and die out
  18. Seems like you are saying it's smarter to stay on the outside, so no one who happens to be looking up or down the stairwell will see you. May we live long and die out
  19. A few thoughts... I've seen an incident where a silicone bumper that wasn't stitched down, came loose and slid up the lines on deployment and stopped the slider from coming down. Luckly, this was in a skydiving situation. It still resulted in a cut-away and reserve deployment. If you are in the habit of moving them off and on of your links, you are just loosening them up for such an event. What advantage is gained by taking it off completely? Do you really expect to gain a lot of performance so you can swoop or something? You loose the advantage of having a crosslink should one of your riser groups fails or releases prematurely(happened at the perrine) You also set yourself up for more types of rigging errors. It's not faster then simply inserting some old canopy line or pullup cords through the end of the riser and through the gromment. a couple of minutes at most, or as stated earlier some risers come with tie downs on them already. Me personally, I use PD reserve slinks. They are stronger than the metal links, and don't require bumpers. I have about 400jumps on two sets of them and they still look brand new, along with the loops on the ends of the lines. I tie down my slider for the low stuff and it takes all of a couple of minutes, with no worries of rigging errors, and the security of a crosslink in the unlikly event of a riser failure. IMHO simple and secure. Remember though, we are all test jumpers! May we live long and die out
  20. You and John must sleep in on Sat.'s. Contact had already been made,plans formed,virigins rounded up, etc, etc. We threw him off something very sick and nice
  21. Tell him I passed his number onto some folks in that area. Dont know if theyre jumping tonight though. Quote You called who? You must have your areas confused. It's a big state you know. He'll be taken well care of, it's already been arranged May we live long and die out
