  1. Either way, we are going to most likely see many more shooting in the next few days. People actually think the world is ending so they are going on their little rampages. Just wait for the 22nd and things will calm down again. No need to jump the gun(No pun intended) and ban anything.
  2. Guns are too huge of an economic source to ban. Just like how the US makes billions each year on the war by selling weapons to other countries. It's all about the $$. Personally have a few gun collector friends that have invested close to a 1/4 million dollars into their stash. Guns don't loose their value so your money is safe in the investments. People don't understand why people like guns so much... they just don't understand... Just like how people don't understand why I jump out of airplanes for fun. That is the main problem with liberals...If they don't like something, then they wanna ruin it for the rest of us. My Libertarian views don't allow for such control of individual freedom.
  3. You can download a flysight .csv file from here: http://www.speed-tracking.com/english/press/ Just scroll down to the red text. The files are very small. And it is extremely useful if you are a wingsuiter or serious tracker and/or love logging your jobs in detail.
  4. I wasn't advising anyone to do anything. Just stated what I did and I have perfectly legitimate reasons for doing so ;p As for fresh off AFF, as my wonderful instructor Sally Hathaway told me, is to work on what I learned for a couple solo jumps, then do the next coach jump(Cat-F), then do a couple more solo's practicing what you've learned, and so forth up until your check dive and A-license, then the real fun begins :P P.S. Get those Hop n' Pops done! And Do your HnP's with your packing course! Sub-terminal openings are softer then a fuzzy kitty :]
  5. Right on the money. For some reason I was thinking post A-License solo status.
  6. What type of skydiving do you want to get into? It's best to just work on your belly flying, though. Me, I just started tracking right away...think I did 2 belly solo's and I have done nothing but tracked the rest...It all lays on what YOU want to do as a skydiver.
  7. I voted for Gary Johnson. I didn't want any of this s**t.
  8. That is what frustrates me about this whole thing. It's the two-faceness. Every time I go to check my email it's that picture of Obamer scratching his eye with a title saying "Obama tears up blah blah blah". And all over facebook I see all the obamer supporters whining about the 20 victims even though they bear some responsibility for the killing of around 170 children. It's this hypocrisy that frustrates me. http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/430923_10200201191811163_85218981_n.jpg
  9. Mr. President is no better then then the mass shooters. Obama is such a great man
  10. I used this B.A.S.E. Jumping Simulator for months before I actually started skydiving. The physics certainly aren't perfect, but he is still developing it and this game taught me how to find the "spot" that everyone speaks about. (the spot that doesn't move.) Download Here Game Forum It's a really fun game :] But it does take a bit to figure out whats going on.
  11. At least they give us something to laugh at. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o60Q6FR8Mig
  12. Give yourself a goal. And keep that goal in mind. For me it's Proximity Base Wingsuiting. Won't be able to do it for several years but it keeps driving me forward to reach the goal. What will I do afterwards? Who knows, more fun stuff :P
  13. I was looking at those self-inflatable pads, they are just pretty pricy so I've just been waiting it out till I find one I'm 100% on. I'd like it to pack real small but still be very comfortable to lay on.
  14. Oh sure, let the children be first target! ;p If you don't like guns, you have the option to leave America. Guns don't cause kids to go on killing sprees, it's how they are brought up and can be prevented through a friend...not by banning guns from the 30,000,000 legal gun owners that killed nobody today.
  15. If it isn't guns then it's gonna be knives. I for one would rather be shot to death then butchered to death. Can't blame the guns for the idiots holding them. Why not ban planes too since they took down the twin towers? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1ERODZ7eac
  16. Maybe they get it from their leader, who has ordered over 300 drone strikes and has killed over 160 children since he has been in office. It's not a gun problem. It's a misfit problem. Kid didn't have friends. He was the quite one that was isolated by others. It could have been prevented. But then again, we should ban airplanes because a few crashed into the twin towers.
  17. Any air mattress pump suggestions? Something that doesn't require outside electricity... Was looking at the Ozark Trail Hand Pump.
  18. $640 bucks for that tent! Holy jebus! https://www.bigagnes.com/Products/Detail/Tent/FlyingDiamond8
  19. I really kinda like the camping :] I never got to ever do it in my life...very boring childhood...so it's a new experience for me. It does get hot during the day but I'm not in it then (busy skydiving ;p). I just open up all the vents and leave it. It cools down by the time I go back to it at about 10pm. I like the little guy! It's really "all" I need and I can fit diagonally just fine...but sitting up was hurting my back cause I had to hunch over. I'm keeping mine for future backpacking trips since it packs down so tiny I can bring it almost anywhere. Great little tent! but hunching over in that for awhile then going for a skydive and trying to "relax" wasn't the easiest thing...suppose it made for some interesting exits lol
  20. Just curious to see what other people use for camping out at the DZ. Suggestions, Reviews...I'm all ears! I've slowly been collecting and improving my experience as I go. Started with a Ozark Trail 5x6 tent and after a few nights learned quickly that it just wasn't going to do :| So! Here is what I've got so far: Ozark Trail 10'x8' - $50 [URL]http://www.walmart.com/ip/Ozark-Trail-10-x-8-Backpacking-Tent/20440564[/url] Say's it's a 5 person tent, reality, if you've got gear you can fit 2 very comfortably in there, or 4 if it is two couples. Pros: Size Cons: Pack size Coleman 40-60F Sleeping Bag - $26 [URL]http://www.walmart.com/ip/Coleman-Alpine-3-lb-Sleeping-Bag/16539542[/url] Pros: It's very comfortable and keeps me warm even in very cold nights. Cons: It packs large(10''x16'') and difficult to pack back into the bag(Good practice for packing chutes lol) Alpine Microlite 45F Sleeping Bag - $25 http://www.sportsauthority.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11763021 Pros: It packs super small(6''x9'') and is VERY easy to put in the bag. Good in warm weather. Cons: There is like no cushioning so you must having some sort of sleeping pat/mat. Ozark Trail Camp Pillow - $7 http://www.walmart.com/ip/Ozark-Trail-Camp-Pillow/17808720 Pros: It's small and fits perfect inside my G2 helmet for storing. Cons: It's a pathetic pillow to say the least but it gets the job done if you fold it in half. Ozark Trail Hobo Tool(Spoon/Fork) - $3 http://www.walmart.com/ip/Ozark-Trail-Hobo-Tool/19718066 Pros: The fork and spoon sides come apart so you can use them individually. Has can/cork/bottle opener, and some random thingy Cons: N/A Coleman Queen Single High Air Bed - $25 http://www.walmart.com/ip/Coleman-Queen-Single-High-Air-Bed/16539576 Just bought it, haven't gotten to use it yet. Anyone have experience with one? And some other random tidbits like hiking backpack, lunchbox, bed sheet, flashlights, towel, shampoo, blah blah ect. What all do you guys use?
  21. The Racer and Dolphin rigs are both very hideous looking to me. In my opinion, if it can look good, AND perform good, then why get the ugly one that is gonna piss off your rigger?? lol You'll be spending a lot of time with your rig, so get something YOU like. It's like asking other people to pick out a girlfriend for you. I'd look into the Javelin. They are quite comfy.
  22. Bro, quick release camera helmets have been around for ages. Regular helmets aren't supposed to easily come off. The possibility of it coming off from a freefall collision and then having it pop off exposing your noggin is not very safe.
  23. It's like 4chan with less pedophilia content.
