Holy crap your state sucks. They took your license for missing too much school...that BS! Sorry can't help ya, I'm stuck in the NW for eternity.

I could really use a new Infinity...PLEASE!!!! (I hope you get enough millions to go around

I would probably quit, but I'm not sure. It all depends on the jump specifics. As far as jumping a CYPRESS, it doesn't really matter to me whether I have one or not. Yes I would prefer to have it there, at least then I might have the choice to choose another sport. When I get my first rig, I will look for one that has, or is CYPRESS ready, but money IS a factor. I try not to think of the CYPRESS as anything but a little button that I have to press a few times before a jump. As long as I don't think of it as a "back-up" I will never rely on it, and that's the way it should be.

I have a cat whose fur looks like a tuxedo, and he loves to sit on top of the gerbils cage. But he's scared shitless of my 4yo Ferret. hehe, the Ferret is pretty interested in the gerbil too. I once wanted to see if she still had her "instincts" since she has been domestic all her life...well I had to pry her mouth open to get the Gerbils head out...

I learned how to "control" my dreams when I was really little. I have had nightmares FOREVER, constantly. Now I actually enjoy them cause they can be really fun and get my hear pumpin, but when the axe comes down on my head, I just turn into a superhero and kick the guys ass! When I was little I used to get so pissed off cause in my dreams, I could just sorta lean forward and start flying, or maybe jump around like gravity was really low. Then when I woke up I wouldn't realise it was just a dream and I would go get my mom and show her I could fly... MOM!!! WATCH THIS!!!! josh walks to the edge of the stair way... WEE!!! OOOHHHHSHIIITTTT!!!!!! Thump!! BANG! roll..."ow"

Hmmm, I should go maturbate now....

Um....can I "Borrow" your rig...I'll give it right back. I'd rather have a new infinity but when I have a rig I can call my own, I will be a very very happy man.

I always wave off without thinking about it.

HA I'M DONE!!! please excuse the caps...I'm excited...I get to go to bed! And by the way, it wasn't going together right because the stupid people that manufactured the thing, forgot to drill on of the pilot holes so I'm examining this board like a diamond expert looks at diamonds with those stupid...monoculars or whatever they're called. (Wait isn't a monocular a telescope???) Ok I am no longer making an sense to myself, good morning all.

Because I am still putting together a bitch of a bitchen early christmas present. My new computer desk. Sweet ass desk though. Nothing out of the ordinart but it is sweet ass compared to what my moniter is sitting on right now. I love puttin shit together but it really pisses me off when thing don't go together like they do in the directions.

I was thinkin' the same thing!

Very true. I only said that because there are usually a lot of typo's and mis-wordings going on here, kind of like e-mail, and no one usually says anything. I don't PW often so don't stop me now Edited to add: What is up with that chicks coller bone??

LOL, since when was proper spelling/word choice important here???

It's hilarious! People actually think they're serious when it's obviously a joke

I'm obviously in the minority, but I'm not scared or nervous at all. I do greatly respect the dangers, thus here is my dive plan: 1. Self Gear Check 2. 3rd party Gear Check 3. If I feel like it...another gear check. 4. Check handles 5. PRCP 6. Review Emergency Procedures in my head or out loud. 7. Board the plane, hold my handles while entering and finding a seat. 8. Review emergency Procedures and check handles on the way up. 9. Before exit, touch silver, touch main 10. DOOR!!! WHOOHOOOO I LOVE THIS SHIT!!!! 11. Screw around. 12. Check alti often. 13. Touch handle at 4.5 14. Pull at 4 15. Canopy check, enforce emergency procedured if needed. I think as long as a great respect is present, fear may be absent.

dasa huge bitch

I'm so sorry man, that is not fun. It happened to me too. She's a BITCH, she's GONE! I can't understand the mindset of these people that cheat. I have had very strong feelings for another person while I was attached to someone else. And the feeling was mutual. So you know what I did? I told that person how I felt about her, and that I would NOT CHEAT. And that I would talk things over with my current. It turned out that my current was going through the same thing and we had the worlds best break up. It was awesome. We went to DQ, and the movies and a bike ride around town and talked about shit. And we were done. I will NEVER understand how people can screw around with others while they are attached. Hallie Berry could shove her tongue down my throat and I would tell her to hold that thought, proceed to haul ass to my currents house and tell her we're done! Then get it on with Hallie...she so FINE! Anyway, you definately did the right thing. You will most likely never be able to get rid of that weird feeling. Don't forgive her, you'll burn in.

I'll never understand how some people can say that the infinity is an ugle rig. I LOVE IT! I want one!

OK I got it all figured out now. Windows wouldn't let me delete the "Legacy" audio drivers so I disabled them but my computer still didn't like me. So I went into safe mode to see if I could delete the drivers then, and whadda you know!!! My sound card kicks a$$!

It's Win2K and I'm pretty sure I have all the updated drivers but I'll recheck

Wouldn't a springloaded pilot chute be considered a deployment sys? Or does it fit under one of those categories listed?

I just bought a Soundblaster Audigy Gamer. I already uninstalled the drivers for the onboard audio on my AOpen AK77-Pro and disabled onboard audio in the BIOS. Then installed the drivers for my SB, and it still doesn't work. I have tried a ton of different things and I can't the the F&^%er to work! If any of you have any ideas please send 'em my way

You forgot 17! So I'm gonna say 16

HA! I just turned 18 on Dec. 7th! I beat you! I know what you mean about the problems with age differences at the DZ. It's funny how some of you mentioned that us youngins look like babies, cause occasionally that's how I will be treated at the DZ. You know what I mean, asking me questions with that weird tone of voice that suggests that I can't fully comprehend the question? It's awright though, I'll just pass it on when I'm older. You know I was pretty suprised when I heard some of the ages. It just proves that your callender age is COMPLETELY different than your physical age, and mental age is different still. Skymama, you are hot! If someone asks you your age from now on, give them your physical age, 26!

I don't know if you just want to know about it, or if you want information so you can do it. It's obvious that you don't have any skydiving experience, which is a must. It is incredibly dangerous to BASE (Building-Antennae-Span[bridges]-Earth[cliffs]) jump without considerable skydiving experience. This is true for several reasons; You have no clue what your instincts are going to tell you when you do your first BASE jump. You could black out, you could just freeze up, who knows. You don't know how well your jump position will be. There are so many variables involved. Absolutly learn to skydive first. And get very good at it. Then consider BASE when you and people you know, believe that you have enough experience. Now, as far as the parachute goes, it would do you well to research "Ram-Air Canopies" which are the parachutes used by Skydivers and BASE'ers alike. I think you meant Pilot Chute??? In lamens terms, that is a very small parachute that is thrown by a jumper, when it catches air, it pulles on a strap (bridle) that is connected the middle of the center cell of the parachute. It's basic purpose is only to pull the parachute out of the container and assist with inflation. BASE parachutes are very similar/nearly identical at a glance, to skydiving parachutes. The main differences are a missing or mesh slider (research Ram-Air canopies), they generally don't have reserves (back up chute), they generally use larger Pilot Chutes since you are not moving as fast when you open as you are if you are skydiving and a larger Pilot Chute catches more air to allow for a quicker deployment. They may even have mesh/breathable bottom skins so that they will inflate quicker. I am a mere newbie in the sport of skydiving and am only providing my tiny accumulated knowlege of BASE, which is probably not entirely accurate and definately not complete. If you are researching because you want to BASE jump, you need to become an avid skydiver first. .
