Bari reports on the death of true journalism.
timski replied to turtlespeed's topic in Speakers Corner
She died a cowards death. MAKE A STAND. I get that this IS a form of communication and a way of getting the message/point across, however, in the end, it's just plain cowardly. I can't blame Bari 100% for this course of action, it takes balls to go up against the establishment. BUT, THIS IS THE TIME when we NEED the TRUE HEROES to rise up and get the message to the bullies at the top... I'm not exactly the person for the job, but when you HAVE the access to the SPOTLIGHT, let it shine on you brightly for all to see! (it's easy to ask someone else to be the martyr) -
Beginner wingsuiter needs some advice.

Hang in there bird brother, and get rid of that freakin Storm already! WINX for the win! Also, ask Squirrel for a demo on the mutation2, It's AMAZING! -
BIG difference between accident and idiot. But I can totally get behind the theme of "guns aren't toys" so treat them accordingly...

I encourage the power of KARMA! Reap what you sow...

skydive in hot summer - prevent dehydration
timski replied to David Wang's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
PRE gaming is essential... Days prior is when the concerted effort to hydrate needs to take place... Banana/kiwi anything berries or fresh fruit is your friend. Pedialite is better than "sports drinks" to add electrolites into the body... There are other things on the market that target trace elements as well. Stay safe my friend. -
If by casting people of color other than white in roles that in real life, are portraying white dudes, then yeah, it's racist as fuck. But when you can see past the BS and actually SEE the message that is being delivered, it's a real work of art... Just like the stunt pulled in Gettysburg last weekend, this will root you out for all to see.

Hi Jerry, Agree to end it and make my vote count! It's an idea that has outlived it's cause...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamilton_(2020_film) It's amazing, it's genius, it's HIGHLY ENTERTAINING. Worth every minute of your time. Enjoy.

The staff SGT who was there the day I signed my Army contract told me, after looking thru my paperwork, "never admit guilt, even if they saw you do it". I was arrested for a "controlled substance" and having a pipe. It amounted to just a pipe full of weed as per the amount... It was thrown out of court due to unlawful search/seizure on the cops end. Long story short, even though I wasn't convicted, the CHARGE doesn't go away (even with an exspungement). ANY job that looks at a true background check can dig that shit up... TRUST ME!

ALSO, I have a reserve for sale, wings container and nice 170 Storm... will part out.
-
My statement is more directed in the accessory devices, not the container/harness... My first rig is an older wings that came with a sabre (with two holes)!! So yeah, I get the sentiment!

When rendered in the right way, a choke hold stops the flow of blood to the brain, which you then "pass out" from. See cage fighters... This can be achieved within seconds. They tap because they know there going out. Also a ref is there to step in... So the "deadly" reference is super vague and depends on blood flow and oxygen restrictions/duration...

Call me crazy, but in this game, I roll with the HIGHEST bidder... This isn't where you cut corners.

#6, The Obama admin. saw the need and Trump being such an incredibly stable genius that he is, dismantled THIS effort. (and so many more). #9, NO brainer, Elon, stop pissing away resources and punching holes in our ozone. #2, buy a water filter for "field use" and start prepping like life depends on it.

spend the extra money on a BETTER container. And yes, the 190 should be the biggest, so you'll be able to down size to that wingsuit friendly 170 7 cell! SERIOUSLY, get a vector or better!

Hi Jerry, I bet everyone of them lived with more than a little remorse for the rest of there lives in the greater perspective of things. ~Tim

You'll be happy with it's performance. The Colugo platform can't be beat.

Given a lot of people selling Freaks with one or two jumps and looking for ATC's in stead, I'd say in general, you are correct. People are mistakenly buying suits that one, they've never flown, or two lack serious experience and the confidence to fly it. I've seen it first hand, dude on his first jump on a brand new custom Freak can't find the PC and tries until he has an AAD fire. Do we both know people who have gotten away with up sizing too fast? Yup, this guy. With a hand full of jumps I ordered a new Funk. It's a far cry from a beginner, but yet I taught myself to fly it successfully. That suit is easy enough to fly, however, we both know the pull is "tricky" with that suit design and it's easy to find your hand in the wing in stead of on the PC! After a few hundred jumps and a couple Freak demo's I went into the RACE suit. Again, not everyone can pull that off. It's certainly not recommended, but again, everyone progresses at there own speed. On a side note, look for my MUTATION2 review coming soon! Did two yesterday on the NEW suit, it's a fucking tracking machine!

Correct, HOWEVER sharing your own perspective from your own experience for comparison can go a long way. You sound as if you put a LOT of merit in the medical field, and if your NOT getting at least a second opinion, you don't understand how the world works...
-
I take offense to this parity. Recognize my feelings dammit!
-
It's 100% a factor. Each country is unique and with it's own circumstance. So naturally the numbers will vary... Just like Covid deaths. Too soon?
-
Joe, you didn't even touch base on ALL the environmental BS he's seriously destroying.
-
50 grit reply. AKA abrasive AF! I personally would wait to book training until I knew that I was 100%. It's a lot of money with a window, with which the weather/conditions don't always play fair... Best of luck with the recovery. PS, stick to body weight exercises
-
I'd spend the extra bucks and get the RACE suit. I fly the ATC and C-Race. When you fly the Race, you know exactly where your money went!

We all know there is no hard and fast fix. This will take some considerable time to gain the trust of the general public. IMO the entire police model will have to be transformed. And yes, that starts with cops walking the streets unarmed. ALSO the entire jail system and how we deal with violent/non violent criminal needs serious addressing...
