Whew. It's a good thing you showed up. I been waiting 14 years for someone to call him out. .

I don't think he mentioned anything about being interested in going out and BASE jumping. Like me, he probably just wants to learn as much as he can about anything involving the use of a parachute. Things like sliders with the hole in them, mesh sliders, stuff like that. General knowledge about a wide variety of things is cool. Don't belittle him. I'm behind the bar at Sloppy Joe's....See ya in the Keys! Muff 4313

Hello All, I developed a very simple Apps for Garmin Fenix (5,6) watches. The Apps gives you the altitude, vario/speed, max vario/speed, g and maximum g. https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/d845c527-7383-4073-93db-2fc1c7ac1bf5. For better accuracy, the altitude is measured via the barometric sensor, the GPS should be OFF. You can set a safety altitude where the watch will vibrates and bips. Not too sure it will be loud enough ;) I was nervous with the refresh time of the alti, but users report good feedback. I am not a developer, so be indulgent. Also, for the one flying paraglider and doing acro, I also developed an App… https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/1917603a-662c-4aab-a487-328822c4ad5c.

But cherries are delicious. And think of the children who like cherries! Wendy P.

The reason for an HONEST investigation is to uncover what happened. The reason for THAT investigation was to smear Hillary Clinton, regardless of what happened. That was the sole purpose, truth be damned.

Cheers mate, that helps. I didn't even consider the opening aspect. When it comes time for me to do it, I could find my pick of 96s to try. I don't know anyone with anything bigger than that so I'd be struggling to find one round here and, while I could easily get demos from NZA, I'm not sure PD do a demo service in Aus. I've got an exit weight of about 93kg so a 96 would be about a 2.2 wing loading which seems quite the jump :)

Which is the intention. As cartoonishly unqualified as Cyber Ninjas are - lacking any form of expertise, experience or accreditation - to focus on them misses the point. Cyber Ninjas aren't the problem. The republican state legislature that decided Cyber Ninjas were the best company to further their agenda is the problem, because their agenda is to permanently undermine the offices and processes which safeguard the practice of democracy across the state. The republican legislature want to compel Maricopa to hand over access to the routers which handle all confidential government communication to a company too incompetent to know how to properly search for files on a server. They were forced to back down from a plan to have Cyber Ninjas send contractors to people's residences to quiz them about their votes. The same republican party which in Florida says giving water to people waiting in line all day must be outlawed because it could influence their vote, wants to put Arizona citizens on notice that if they vote for the wrong candidate their details will be given to a private out of state security consulting firm who will send guys to their house. Because that couldn't possibly have an effect. The cynicism of the republican legislature in forging ahead with and giving credence to the sham is terrifyingly Orwellian. In an added Kafkaesque twist the republican election administrators who have made and honour a career in civil service by doing their jobs professionally and competently, and standing firm with the truth are the ones being targeted. Republican legislatures are attempting to either replace them with party apparatchiks, make their offices subject to overrule by the legislature, or make them personally liable to felony convictions and huge sentences if they fail to do their jobs perfectly every time with no mistakes. A tactic transparently designed to open them up to threats and coersion from the party bosses the next time they stand in the way of an election being stolen. I keep seeing people saying that the republican shenanigans in lying about the Capitol riot and opposing the Jan 6th commission are because they to sweep it under the rug and make it go away. I disagree. I think they know all their bullshit just keeps Jan 6th in the news and they fucking love it. The longer people keep talking about Jan 6th as 'that time' republicans tried to steal a presidential election the longer it distracts them from noticing that everything republican lawmaker across the country have done since then has been to weaken the laws guarding free and fair elections and cripple the ability of non-partisan offices to safeguard the results. Since January the republican assault on democracy in the USA has been stronger, more coordinated and more successful than anything they did while Trump was still president and they show know signs of stopping.

I think the only way to really know is to jump those canopies for yourself - choose a day with moderate wind from a good direction for your DZ and ask your buddies if you can borrow their stuff. For what it's worth, my personal experience: Hurt myself on a canopy collapse on a SA2-97, upsized to a CF2-107 to come back, and then down to a JFX-87 once I was good and current again. My reason for going crossbraced was I wanted a design that kept more pressure in the wing, rather than to increase performance. So I first borrowed a VE-103 and VE-96 from friends for a few jumps, and then had the opportunity to demo VC-96, VC-90, VC-84 and also JFX-94 and JFX-84 at events. At my wingloading (just over 60kg exit weight), the openings were really uncomfortable on anything larger than a 90 - the 103 was just a shitshow. These things like to be loaded. Since you're already at 1.75 it probably won't be an issue for you - but may be part of the reason for the big jump to 1st crosbraced you see. I know .. i know .. body position .. fly the opening ... maybe! :) I repeat: this is just my personal experience, not intended as advice for anyone. But if you want to know what these things are like before you buy them.. fly them for yourself That said, be ready, engaged, and conservative on these jumps. People say crossbraced flies "bigger" - in my experience the VE-103 was definitely faster and more agile than my beat up SA2-97..

I did it. Took 9 years and a lot of heartache but I did it. For those that were following this thread.... THANK YOU! Yesterday kicked so much ass. I attached a fun picture. If I wasn't so sweaty I probably would have gotten another 5 stamps...
