    Line twists

    Quade, Phree....care to elaborate ? I've always rolled the 8 outside cells (4 on each side) then pushed them into the center cell.....I've heard this referred to as "stuffing". I've had nothing but soft openings with this method, unless I was purposely packing a slammer for low hop-n-pops. Or are you talking about tandem canopies exclusively ?

  2. That's an interesting philosophy....when I'm drinking to be drinking, I usually overshoot drunkeness and achieve comatose-ness. I'll have to try it your way. (...on video, you all looked much different than I remembered...)
  3. I'm only 1/8th Chinese, but I think you're going to hell also. I'll keep an eye out for ya....first beer's on me ! Don "When in doubt I whip it out, I got me a rock-and-roll band. It's a free-for-all."

    My next jump

    Me ! Let's try some CReW, too.....i've never done it. AND a tube.....I've always wanted to fly to the top, then see if I can crawl all the way through and out the bottom before pull time. Don "When in doubt I whip it out, I got me a rock-and-roll band. It's a free-for-all."
  5. That was thoroughly fantastic ! Agreed. That had to be the most accurate and least sensational portrayal of skydiving I've ever seen. Do you know when that was filmed ? Recently ? Don (ps....how much did Y'ALL get ? 8" here, and still coming down hard...)
  6. Sorry for the short notice....I was just surfing, and came across it. I'm seeing some familiar faces...

  8. Congratulations, Iwan. Another feather in your portfolio.

    If you're trying to figure out how my cross-wired brain works.....you're fighting a losing battle. Submit now, and it won't hurt you.

    Well, you did look pretty hot during that same dirt-dive, lying there on your back with your hair all fanned out. I was imagining what it would look like on a pillow, with moonlight streaming through the window... Don "When in doubt I whip it out, I got me a rock-and-roll band. It's a free-for-all."

    Actually, that's the worst part. Having friends know you suck is one thing.....having it known on a national scale is something else. Although it's a great training aid....."Class, can you list all the errors this guy is making ?" I LOVE Katie ! She just needed to wear 50 pounds instead of 20.

    Only about 9 times so far. I'd give it a solid 9.5 (Duece got his feet in a shot or two. ) Excellent visuals throughout.....some really pretty shots. I think my favorite part was the look on TallGuy's face while dirt-diving under Amazon. I laugh every time I see that, and Duece's "Puh - LEEZE !" look afterwards. Btw....who was the girl that wanted more weiners ? Don "When in doubt I whip it out, I got me a rock-and-roll band. It's a free-for-all."
  13. Of course not ! Just trying to increase her fall rate a little.
  14. True. I've never seen ANY of y'all at the weekly meetings. Don "When in doubt I whip it out, I got me a rock-and-roll band. It's a free-for-all."
  15. No more from me.....I've complimented them both too much over the last two months. One more and they'll have to upsize their camera helmets. But it was all deserved, and earned.
  16. Congratulations, JP. I figured it was only a matter of time before you became world-famous.
  17. Probably not enough....you need to shed that "soccer mom" mentality. I wanna see the re-paving job Chuck did on the sundeck again....I have friends that can't believe a Harley could "get a wheel" for 20 seconds, unless it was on a frozen pond.
  18. Probably get more hits if you change it back. Don "When in doubt I whip it out, I got me a rock-and-roll band. It's a free-for-all."
  19. To the right when wearing slacks. Around my waist when wearing jeans. Don "When in doubt I whip it out, I got me a rock-and-roll band. It's a free-for-all."

    Baking

    Me too? Extra herbs in mine, please.... Don "When in doubt I whip it out, I got me a rock-and-roll band. It's a free-for-all."
  21. Amen to that. I consider any man or woman who wears their country's uniform with pride to be a hero. My dad died in Nam....shot down while piloting a Red Cross chopper. I consider him a war hero. My uncle left home as the quintessential "happy-go-lucky" country boy at 19....came back 3 years later after a highly-decorated tour as point man on a recon team, but he was a totally changed man in every way....I consider him a war hero. In many ways I felt sorrier for him than I did my dad, because he has suffered for decades. I remember the feeling of pride I had at reading a story about The Duke ....he and Jimmy Stewart were marching in a parade to support either the Korean or Nam war (can't remember which) when Wayne spotted a protester with an anti-American sign. Stewart's son had just been KIA in the war. Wayne disappeared into the crowd, there was a scuffle, the protester went down....then Wayne stepped back into the street to join the parade, stopping momentarily at the curb to break the sign over his knee, then throwing the pieces into the gutter. Of course nowadays he would be sued to hell and back for such an action, but I wish that sense of pride and love-of-country was still alive in more Americans.

  22. Got mine today, and have already watched it twice. All I can say is "Holy Guano, Batman....that was some coooool shit!" You and Iwan did a great job....some really gorgeous visuals there. Don "When in doubt I whip it out, I got me a rock-and-roll band. It's a free-for-all."
  23. Cool-O, Erk......again. Have you ever made any BAD videos ? 'Cause I haven't seen any. Don "When in doubt I whip it out, I got me a rock-and-roll band. It's a free-for-all."
