  1. Is that a regular practice on your DZ, for a head count to be performed after a load, in order to make sure everyone is safe and back to the DZ? Yves.
  2. At least, we skydivers fly our own wings. Yves.
  3. So, could you show us what your new canopy will look like? And, by the way, tell us who's gonna get the free jump. Yves.
  4. For your information: http://www.strongparachutes.com/ Yves.
  5. I think you shouldn't have told her in the first place. Now your best call is to try to explain to her what skydiving is today, and try to emphasize on the security aspects of the sport. And if you can, try to bring your mom to the DZ, and have her watch the skydivers land, especially the tandems. I think she'll understand.
  6. Well, it's funny actually! I think GM overreacted a bit on this. Yes, the expression "La Crosse " means "to masturbate", but it's not the only way the word is used here. La crosse also means "To get ripped off" or "to swindle" or "to cheat", which is worse IMHO. "La Crosse" is also the name of a game played with a ball and a stick (named Crosse) that has a small basket at the end. This game is played like a hockey game. Yves.
  7. That's not fast. Well, compared to a lot of jumpers who average 115mph, yeah, that's fast, but I don't think so. 130+ on my belly is very easy...did 170mph on my belly once for the hell of it. With a good arch, I can do 158Mph on my belly. I usually fall 110-135Mph, depending on the jumpsuit I wear. Yves
  8. Ditto here! But not always. Quite bizarre actually.. Yves.

    Dogs vs. Cats

    Ditto here! I'm allergic to cats, but I love them. So I have a dog, an american eskimo. My worst allergy is to rabbits. Yves.
  10. I've added pics to my first post. Take a look at them. Yves.
  11. Congratulations! Yves.

    Congratulations! Yves.
  13. Top skin full black. Bottom skin full black. All inner ribs red. Wickedly ! Not sure what color i'd pick for the stabs though. Probably red, or just leave them plain black too. btw. I just described what my next canopy will look like. Yves.
  14. My dealer ordered 5 Vigils AAD, a long time ago, and none have been delivered yet. What's going on with them? Yves.
  15. Close your eyes, take a deep breath....... It'll pass. Yves.
  16. Not sure I'll be looking for your lost gear.... But the girl, well.... Yves.
  17. Then why do we usually say: " I'm driving on the right side of the road" Yves.
  18. So what do we got here: Canada-USA-Mexico: Right side Australia: Left side Any other? Yves.
