    We walk with ours, just to make sure while they are trying to raise money by selling candy, nobody is trying to 'give them candy'. There's some real sickos out there, I hope that second grader had adults with him. It's your life, live it! Karma RB#684 "Corcho", ASK#60, Muff#3520, NCB#398, NHDZ#4, C-33989, DG#1

    Yep. I still get upset about my hair. I hate that it's gone. It's been almost 2 years since i cut it off and i still miss it every day. And I miss playing with your pig-tails. I just cut mine off recently though, so who am I to judge? It's your life, live it! Karma RB#684 "Corcho", ASK#60, Muff#3520, NCB#398, NHDZ#4, C-33989, DG#1

    Lotus. But when you land an airlock in high winds.... ....well.... it's kinda hard to collapse.... My thoughts include: If it is so turbulent that you think you need an airlocked canopy then maybe you should be sitting on the ground rather than jumping. Not to say it wouldn't be more safe. Just don't like the idea of people thinking that an airlocked canopy is a free pass to jump in overly turbulent winds. (Not that your thinking this, I don't know what your thinking, but I don't want anyone reading this thread to get that idea) I hope people don't think it's a free pass. That said, I'll take anything over having my Sabre fold up at 15 or so feet again. One rotor is all it took, and the winds that day were sitting at about 10 mph. Not overly windy at all. Airlocks were purpose designed, and for that reason, they just happen to work well in their designed purpose. It's your life, live it!

    Lotus. But when you land an airlock in high winds.... ....well.... it's kinda hard to collapse.... I agree 100% Bonnie. You need to get to the tail asap. After that it's a piece of cake. Lotus. (Check the link above in my last post, Budda) You can probably find 'em used from people going down in size or over to Samurai's. I'm looking too, but in the 136 size range. I flew a Jedei many times, and I think I'm going to go a bit back down the performance scale. It's your life, live it! Karma RB#684 "Corcho", ASK#60, Muff#3520, NCB#398, NHDZ#4, C-33989, DG#1

    I will be the first one to tell you I am no where near qualified to recommend a canopy to anyone. I'll just repeat the old 'talk to people at your DZ, and demo some stuff'. Really. Demo alot. I personally think this: http://www.bigairsportz.com/lotus.php is the ideal all-around canopy. I just can't afford a new canopy. It's your life, live it!

    OK, I'm not exactly considered sane by most that know me. OK, I'm not sure I've ever been called sane, but winds are not to be messed with. I had one rotor drop me from about 15 feet up, and I'm not looking to do it again any time soon. That said, think about those wind conditions, and how perfect you need to be on landing. OK, ya thinking about it? Now read this post: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=425676#425676 How are your survival chances now? Dude, if you're worried about turbulence, don't jump. Simple. If you are gonna jump anyway, get a stable planform, preferably something airlocked. It need not be high performance, just stable. Mr. Germain designed the airlock for stability in turbulance, the performance came later. Be smart and stay safe or you may not get a chance to try it again. It's your life, live it!

    Been there, had that done to me, twice. Chose option 2. Still regret it, and that was even before I started jumping. Still with her. I can forgive anything, and have, but we NEVER forget. 3 strikes? Let's just hope it never comes to that. It's your life, live it!

    Ahhh, what the hell. Being married is fun! You get to flirt with everyone, married and single. Ya know why? 'Cause they all know you're just messing around and having fun. On occasion I do find one that doesn't take it that way though. That's an even bigger rush, 'cause you get to tell THEM no. I've known lots of women in my life that were known as a dick tease. It's really, really fun being a clit tease. Remember, just because he/she are hitting on you does NOT mean they want to have sex. Maybe, just maybe they are judging your moral character. I do just that, and it's quite entertaining. It's your life, live it! Karma RB#684 "Corcho", ASK#60, Muff#3520, NCB#398, NHDZ#4, C-33989, DG#1

    After smoking for close to 20 years, a better question is "Can you possibly name a reason smoking does not suck?" I can't. Congrats on day 2 (again).
