Any publicity is good publicity. It will sell videos. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

It's the big Power tower we were winded out on. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Yes that is true. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

You should have seen how fast one of my jump partners was traveling when he had line twists off that same tower. All he had to do was unstow the brakes turn and land. That pesky twist made it a tad more difficult to do quickly. And no it's not the safest. As far as good objects, it's definately up there. What about the bushes to the left, with the wires on the other side? I've landed there. If there's no wind, is she going to stand down? I've had 180's there, and you've landed on the tower so it's hittable. Just pointing out the obvious. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

You're welcome. I didn't give up though. I said what I meant about giving advice over the internet to those unarmed with time in the air. If I were you, heck I'd go for it. You know now about the flight, it’s not the direction to face for any length of time... so it's all good. Leave last and leave a bunch of extra time before you get out. It will give you a bigger area to travel around when you flounder about :) Also, you'd be amazed at how far a person can travel when they think they are head down, and they are not, then hold it for much of a skydive. I recommend loads of experimenting. If you practice that stuff on the ground, it will give you a much better reference so practice. Stand around as much as you can doing that. Also, seriously do LOTS of other stuff too. Flips spins.. whatever. The more you can be in control when you're out of control, the better. Hope that little tidbit makes sense. I've been in near misses, from other groups, watched enough premature deployments from using gear that people thought were secure so ... be sure.

Practice on the ground by standing straight up let the shoulders hang naturally, spread you legs out pretty far, toes forward. Keep them straight but don't lock them. Strong.. but flexible. Push outward like you're trying to slide off the soles of your shoes. To know what straight up and down really is, stand with your back against a pole. Then spread the legs, then move away from it. When you do start putting your arms out. put the entire arm out and not just your forearms. Face off the line of flight... and know exactly what it is before you go for it. Good luck, and work on more than just your head. do a bunch of flips and stuff. Have fun. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

What is the quickest amount of time that it took

1 shift at a computer chip oven manufacturing facitility. It didn't stress me out, it was simply obvious it was the wrong job. Lasted 2 work weeks. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto -
You are technically correct sir Drawing attached will answer the physical set up part. Good Luck! My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Sorry Andrea ignore this post. Ok.. lets try again It's actually marked "Internet" instead of "Uplink" to make it easy. As far as the router is concerned, the uplink Is the WAN side The WAN on the cable modem is the round cable. that connects to the evil hackers out on the world wide web. The cat 5 cable (telephone cord looking one) goes to the Internet port... Also known as the Uplink to the router. It's conveniently sitting all alone away from the other ports. You know that already though. I'll draw a picture for Andrea now and post it. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

That bottom cable is plugged into the network card. It plugs in one of the ports 1234 (lan side) The router uplink plugs into the cable modem.

Skydiving without an Altimeter

No, that's always been cool. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto -
Me too, so of course I watched it 2 more times. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

I didn't think of that... I just made a bowl of oatmeal Poured a little organic low fat mik in it to cool it off a touch. Then, cut up the remaining 6 ounces of smoked salmon (not farmed) and dumped it in the bowl. Then squeezed about an ounce of the goat cheese out of the package and mixed it up. There were a few moments of curiosity before actally taking the first bite. What do you know... it's pretty good. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
