"Take one for the team" raffle
ChileRelleno replied to el_chester's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I was there at nationals with my ticket in hand, a female from the Atlanta area got the awesome gear package. It was funny when B.Ottley gave out her phone# inadvertently, they tried to call her live during the presentations but got her answering service. Can't remember her name.

I agree with most replies, slow horizontal with fast vertical = classic PLF. Fast horizontal with slow vertical = modified PLF/slide. However I myself find it preferable to fly the landing out as far as possible and runoff excess speed if my speed is acceptable. Can this be a recipe for bumps/bruises or worse? Yes, but life is full of risk and its a preference not a rule, when in doubt the gear/jumpsuit gets dirty. ChileRelleno-Rodriguez Bro#414 Hellfish#511,MuffBro#3532,AnvilBro#9, D24868

Slow or High Speed Mal: Which is harder to deal with?
ChileRelleno replied to Michele's topic in Safety and Training
I've had both a slow and high speed mal's, bad line twist with a flying canopy (1500 harddeck chop-n-pop) and a horseshoe (threw pc then chopped), neither of'em seemed hard... I don't recall actually thinking anything thru, just recognition and then reaction as trained and drilled. I'm always going over differrent "E" procedures in my head and as a result I found that my responses are somewhat automatic. Sure some would say that some mal's have more than one suggested way to deal with'em or that one way is better than another, but in a highspeed mal you may not have time to assess and decide.

Floatation devices : Cheapest/best?
ChileRelleno replied to SkydiveNFlorida's topic in Gear and Rigging
I agree with mjosparky... Cheapest is not the best... Ever... IMPO. My motto when shopping is you get what you pay for, you can shop around and find the best price for said item but if its quality its gonna cost you. ChileRelleno-Rodriguez Bro#414 Hellfish#511,MuffBro#3532,AnvilBro#9, D24868 -
Awesome deal!!! There are alot of great customer service orientated manufactures out there, L&B makers of the Protrack amongst other products has outstanding C/S and so do many others. There'll always be dissatisfied customers with horror stories, but remember you rarely here from the happy people. ChileRelleno-Rodriguez Bro#414 Hellfish#511,MuffBro#3532,AnvilBro#9, D24868

Good riddance, don't let the door hit you in the ass! Why not make it a lifetime? Take hollywood with ya too. Perhaps by some twist of fate you'll find yourself in legal trouble down there and find out just how good the U S of A really is when you realize you have no rights.

"Gay Marriage" defeated in all 11 states
ChileRelleno replied to Treejumps's topic in Speakers Corner
Marriage is between a Man and a Woman, a Family is Daddy, Mommy and their Children. Not Daddy and Daddy and so forth. Civil Unions... fine. I grew up surrounded by gays and lesbians, I grew up working in a flowershop in the Northpark and Uptown areas of San Diego, CA, predominantly gay communities, I've family and friends who are gay/lesbian or otherwise sexually inclined. So don't label me Homophobic. I'm not open to discussion on this so don't bother to reply back. But go ahead and bang your against a wall.

The rest of the world can take a flying leap with their ideas about my countries politics/leaders!!! Especially those who actively try to influence our elections thru the general public and by behind the scenes deals with the candidates. A vote for Kerry was a vote for the United Nations and socialism to gain more of a foothold in the U.S.. A vote for Kerry was a vote for a "TRAITOR", a vote for a hero of our enemies, a vote for a....... Don't bother replying to my post here on this thread, I'm not open to debate, I'm not going to reply back, these are my beliefs and they will not change. Go ahead bang your head against a wall ChileRelleno-Rodriguez Bro#414 Hellfish#511,MuffBro#3532,AnvilBro#9, D24868

Yippee Yahoo!!! I had sooo hoped that Kerry would not drag it out in court which he was prepared to do and sooo happy instead that he apparently is going to honorably concede the presidential race. ChileRelleno-Rodriguez Bro#414 Hellfish#511,MuffBro#3532,AnvilBro#9, D24868

ChileRelleno replied to sangiro's topic in Blue Skies - In Memory Of
My sincerest sympathy and condolences to Groundzeros family and close friends. I've had the pleasure of talking to Groundzero many times here at DZ.com and met and jumped with him and his group at his Tullahoma,TN DZ, I've a very fond memory of one jump in paticular which shall serve as my rememberance of him. Eternal blueskies to one of our own.... Remember people... We can do everything right and still die, even more so when we push the edges of the performance envelope.

Comprimiso(splg?) senor, but the Rodriguez Brothers "do" have their own song. Mexicans love to sing... Particularly after consuming large amounts of tequila. ChileRelleno-Rodriguez Bro#414 Hellfish#511,MuffBro#3532,AnvilBro#9, D24868

I hate that my injury is giving skydiving a bad name...
ChileRelleno replied to Jeth's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I agree with alot of whats already been said, in particular with "Skydiving IS Dangerous!" I never tell people its safe becuase as you learned even a minor screw-up can hurt... ALOT! You can do everything right and still die! I tell'em this and then they really think I'm/we're crazy. I badly shattered my Tib/Fib two years ago but mine was a classic case of "Hey!Watch this!", and not carefully inspecting a new DZ's LZ. (check out my post's "crash and burn" and "x-rays and photos of bad swoop" http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=201749;#201749 http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=216812;#216812 Get over the standard reaction of armchair warriors who watch too much reality tv and just learn from your mistake while you heal.

Chiles word for Ronstadt- Has-been, thats why, its just as sad a sight as David Lee Roth or the Rolling Stones(now their scary looking) trying to drag his/their has-been butt/s across a stage. Pathetic... I grew up with these folks and enjoyed their music but sooner or later you have to throw in the towel... Sooner would have been preferable in these cases.

Reign of Fire is a good movie to watch as a skydiver

Hollywood Liberals are amongst the worst, much of my movie going is influenced by who's in the film... Clooney? Forget about it! Get my drift? ChileRelleno-Rodriguez Bro#414 Hellfish#511,MuffBro#3532,AnvilBro#9, D24868

Aaargh! Yes, I'll take some Q&A and my bags searched, this was/is ordinary stuff for international flights/customs. If it keeps some yahoo from killing you, me or our families, no problem. I do not feel that this is a VIOLATION of my rights. If the police get a APB and you fit the description, your gonna get stopped and questioned. No difference in my mind.

Alas... I'll take one more. Just about everyone gets their luggage searched, scanned ect... They walk thru metal detectors ect... Whether they know it or not most get eyeballed one way or another... If your suspicious, if you fit a profile constructed from whatever means being used, then what is wrong with a little more in-depth screening? Nothing. Security already covers everybody, some who get a random or send up red-flags get more, this is a good thing. ChileRelleno-Rodriguez Bro#414 Hellfish#511,MuffBro#3532,AnvilBro#9, D24868

To all of you who think that asking questions and looking in baggage is such a "Violation" of right's.... Tough shit, you are not going to change my mind. "Profiling works!!!" Chile says sayanara... ChileRelleno-Rodriguez Bro#414 Hellfish#511,MuffBro#3532,AnvilBro#9, D24868
