I think that Allen Hewitt was doing the stunts in Tomb Raider. He was my AFF instructor and did the stunts on a variety of Bond films including Die another Day. Last time I saw him (August?), he was off to do Tombraider but he may have been co-ordinating as he doesn't bear the strongest resemblance to Miss Jolie... CJP Gods don't kill people.

I just have to say that having watched the video on the link you posted I am surprised the guy walked away from the smack in he took - what was all that about and was he AOK? CJP CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

Both my wifes parents are doctors. Her sister is a Doctor. Her grandparents, unlces aunts and whole family are Doctors. Has anyone stopped to think about how they fall into this equation? I think it is terrible that the society we live in has become so litigious - especially towards those who try to help us. I do not think the woman has a right to sue for the loss of her child although I think that it is a shame that the child died. I agree with the comment about the litigation over cheeseburgers & coffee incidents. Whilst there is an argument to be had over which child got the operation there is also one to be had over the sueing. There was a previous comment that all sueing is for revenge. Crap. In the US, and increasingly in the UK, litigation is about greed - something for nothing - which is wrong. If people sue it should be because they have been damaged by the actions of another in some definable way - hit by a driver, defamation etc. Not because it is a quick buck. Back to my original comments about Doctors in the family - how many of you guys are in a job where your day to day actions save/terminate people lives? Very few I would imagine. the pressure that these guys are under is phenomenal. 2nd Question: When was the last time you did something wrong at work: forgot to file a report; didn't call someone back; missed a delivery? How would lyou feel if that meant someone could sue you for your entire livelihood? In the UK the number of student Docs is falling as people do niot want to put themselves in to these positions where there every move is scrutinised for an opportunity to sue - what happens when we get to the situation where both of these kids die because there is no one to do the operation and no one prepared to put there necks on the line... Just a few thoughts to add to the mix - please try not to sue me for them... CJP CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

Not unlike my own experience with NTL. It took me calling the MD of NTL at home to get them to do anything about it - then they moved pretty damn quick. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

I ride a VFR 800VTEC and it is the bollocks. I love it.I used to hae a bandit 600 and have ridden Kwakas,Suzis and yamaha and the VFR is without a doubt the best I have had. I did 13000 iles last year and it ndled them with ease. Had one or two issues with the alarm and the side stand fell off (although I was leaning the bike down at the time and summed the streng of 10 bears not to drop it). Other than that it is great - not too arsh on long journeys and when you want to show the many r6's and GSXR600s on the english roads a thing or two there aint much they can do about it. The VTEC kicks ass also. I like this bike so much it is coming to Australia with me to live. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

I can't be bothred to write anything long as I am at work. I just wanted to say (and others probably have) that: Disagreeing with the US is not Anti-US. To assume it is is to assume the US is right and everyone else is wrong. Let's just hope war is not inevitable because it can never be good and I have too many friends in the army I would be devastated to lose. Blue ones. CJP Gods don't kill people.

Who have you ordered from. i was looking at getting a Hornet 190 in the UK but am now relocating to Sunny Sydney so want to look at rigs down under. Good dealers? Good place to look at 2nd hand? Any help appreciated... CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

I should probably know this. I have read lots of comments about cocking the pilot chute and to be honest I am not sure what this means. Is this only on collapsible PC's and what are the benefits & differences of Collapsible PC's compared to the standard PC's? Excuse my ignorance on the subject but apparently there are no stupid questions in here. Any info would be welcomed. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

Canopy collision at Lake Wales boogie - no injuries
CornishChris replied to JDBoston's topic in Safety and Training
I was taught to use a hook knife only in case of a Line over on a reserve. I have a limited number of jumps and no plans to jump BASE so hopefully will not be in the same situation as Tom. If I had a line over on my main I would pump the brakes a few times to see if I could shift it then go chop it. Thanks for your concern. It is appreciated. CJP CJP Gods don't kill people.

Excuse my lack of experience - but how do you clear a lineover? I was taught to chop and would not really know where to start clearing it? CJP CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people -
I did a tandem... ...then 5 S/L jumps... ...got bored with UK weather and 'wind over's all the time... ...did AFF. I disagree that S/L is cheaper - can be equally expensive if it takes you time (if in the UK you end u waiting months in between each jump and not progressing as happens a lot) but it does get you used to getting out the door at a reasonably loe height. I think the AFF course in Oz has too much tandem too it but I think the 3 hop n pops (5K, 4K, 3K) are a great idea. Just enjoy it - remember, you are paying so get the most out of it you can and don't be afraid to fail - it's no big thing CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

Relax and enjoy. I did AFF in one pass but my bro had to redo a level coz he was stressed all the time. Just relax, think about what you have to do and do it. And if you have to redo a level it doesn't matter. It is better to get it right and spend a bit more than to rush it and end up being a liability. I am sure you will be fine.

*** Yet another good arguement for why we should carry a hook knife even if we're not JM's or CReW dogz. *** In the UK once you have graduated AFF you cannot jump without one (to my knowledge). I unfortunately was not told this by my AFF instructors and was not allowed on a lift at Nethers by the jump master until I had been shopping. CJP CJP Gods don't kill people.

What do you pay for the privilege of driving?
CornishChris replied to wildblue's topic in The Bonfire
Brace yourselves: My Bike insurance is £1300 a year for a VFR800 = US$2015. Tax = £80 a year. Worth it to me as it goes very very fast and is my only mode of transport (which at this time of year is a little chily). My brothers insurance on his Honda S2000 parked on the street in London is £3000 (US$4650) a year but he is fucking loaded. CJP CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people -
