    I guess you could still land like that even if you couldn't untangle them. Just grab 'em in the middle, and push left, right or down together! It's an interesting predicament.

    Trolls

    Boogers replied to Remster's topic in The Bonfire

    Concrete rebound hammer smashes trolls! Hey, trolls can be kind of entertaining, like the thread about the advantages of deploying your parachute facing into the wind. Funny stuff! I say leave 'em in place and let the fun roll. If you're the serious type who can't stand that, just skip over it, but don't try and take away everyone else's fun.

    A double “brake fire” is not a problem, the canopy will fly straight. If they came loose before the canopy opened then you would have a problem. Well if one brake fire is bad, then two at once must be really horrible, right? Actually, that just becomes a labor-saving function.

    Just wait until a BASE jumper goes running out onto the platform for a launch, only to smack into that glass wall at the end, like a bird flying into a picture window...

    Well, a pug is a pretty good sized dog to be stuffing into your pilot chute pouch, so it's no wonder he was hard to remove. Besides, why did you put him in there in the first place?

    I would think it's no big trouble to update once a year. And if you forget for a while, that's no big deal either. The difference between 1 year and 2 years is insignificant, and so is the difference between 20 years and 21 years.

    YMMV

    I don't understand how you think a dead person would still be posting in this web site. I must remain anonymous because I do this during my lunch hour from work, and the company frowns upon the use of their computer resources for outside play. And I need to keep my job so that I can continue to afford to skydive. Sorry 'bout that, but that's all there is to it. No dead John here.

    This strange behaviour of yours continues and intensifies. I don't know why you think I'm someone else. Apparently you have some kind of grudge with that person, and are now taking it out on me. But I've never done anything in my short time here to offend you or anyone else. I'm just reading and posting and minding my own business. So, I'm just going to have to write you off as some kind of nut, and try and ignore you. Got that Fred? (Yeah, I just made that name up, just like you're making up names for me.) My Brazos is just fine, and I hope yours is too (whatever that means, it's apparently important to you).

    You seem to have some kind of paranoid delusions about who I am. And it's looking like stalking the way you keep doing it. You ought to get over that - it's making you look silly.

    You have to invest a little thought into understanding what he's saying. Here's my translation of the above: Raeford is cliqueish, with the Army guys looking down upon plain old civilians. Hawaii is great, except for the guys with big egos, the problematic weather and the football field. Florida is unfriendly except for Deland, but even at Deland it's not easy being accepted - people have attitudes towards newcomers. If you're a good flyer, that will help you get your foot in the door and be accepted. If you try to improve by asking people for help, they may not like it because the dives will be less challenging for those highly experienced divers, but it forces them to dirt dive jumps that you're actually capable of doing. And that makes for great times without anyone being offended. See how easy that was?

    That would be "dark angel", i.e. the devil.

    Would you have to pay the packers extra for that? Well, if you flat pack it's going to fill the whole hanger. If you pro-pack it, you'll have to stand on the roof and drape it over the edge. That's gotta be worth more money.

    Please post your landing confirmation form and the cell phone photos. We'd all love to see them!

    You've replied to me, but I have no idea what you're talking about...
  16. Boogers
    It's entertaining!
  17. Boogers
    Why not? Get a bunch of witnesses, use some measuring equipment, document what you do. You don't need no stinkin' license!
  18. Boogers
    The only way they can do that is if you have an outstanding warrant on file for some crime you've committed. So if you haven't been charged with a crime and failed to appear in court, then there is no warrant on you, and getting pulled over won't result in arrest.

    There is no legal certification of skydivers, not even by the FAA. There's just USPA certification, which has no authority under the law. You can legally skydive without any USPA certification.

    From what I gather, it's kind of a police entrapment thing. The FBI found a guy filled with hate, gave him ideas, gave him fake bombs, and then arrested him when he actually tried to carry out his plan. That's not exactly a serious bomb plot from terrorists. That's the FBI going out and beating the bushes to find someone to set-up. Without FBI involvement and encouragement, one must wonder just how far this guy would have actually gone with his hate. It's kind of like a police woman dressed up as a hooker waving guys over to the curb for a BJ. And then arresting men when they want to do what she offered them.

    Arisakas are not specialized sniper rifles. They're just normal run-of-the-mill military surplus rifles. No different than any hunting rifle. The press is way too loose with the term "sniper rifle" these days. Makes it sound sinister! Good thing it's no longer sitting there gathering dust! Someone might have been hurt with it! Even though that hasn't happened in the 60 years since his uncle brought it home, I'm sure that disaster was imminent. Phew, that was a close call!

    Did the same once. Spent the whole dive with one hand on top of my head holding my helmet in place so it wouldn't float up and off. Looked funny as hell. Couldn't take my grips in the dive plan. But I saved my helmet, and the expensive audible altimeter inside.

    I'm just amazed that after 30 years of improvements in technology, with computer electronics and sensors, that now we may be realizing after decades, that going back to the same way the original KAP-3's and SSE's did things, is the best way after all. It's amazing how things go around and come back to original, simple ideas. This is a kind of KISS (keep it simple, stupid) principle that not many people adhere to anymore.

    Buy TWO sets, and keep one pair in your gear bag for backup. Along with one of those tiny screwdrivers to remove the battery cover. Don't lose those little gold springs!

    I didn't think they could do that. They might not give you a jump license, but they can't forbid your presence in the state for other things. If you want to live there and enjoy other recreational activities, they can't legally ban you from that. It's not the old West anymore where the sheriff can run you out of town.
