  1. We need better smilies, just doesn't match what I'm trying to portray properly but here it is again. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
  2. Who happens to be a very sweet and knowledgeable and caring skydiver who sold gear for many years and has been a rigger since 93. She's good people. Learn not to judge so much. My current user name may have been appropriate at one time but I should change it to FlatTurnTim to keep up with the times. Remember, We will have you pummeled if the morale does not improve. Here's another one. " I have no intentions on swooping or HP landings." You say that now but I can almost guarantee that will change.

  3. We do care about doing things safely which he seems to have however the security thing is the part people care about. His jump was pretty simple actually. I can't be sure but the pictures indicate he did a go and throw from 400 feet. A slightly longer delay is safer. Somehow he got away with it as in wasn't seen doing it. Then he showed the establishment how he got in and it was broadcast to the world. That's pretty asinine. I'm lenient in my judgment of others but I gotta agree, that one was pretty dumb.

  4. You have? Seriously? My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
  5. To think, I was going to shave it off today. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
  6. Hey, at least it wasn't a TLA. *which is a TLA in itself* Educate me... I come up with the following and more. Terminate and Leave Activated Termination Liability Agreement Territorial Local Authorities (New Zealand) Texas Library Association The Lawrence Arms (band) The Lost Age (game) Theater Lead Agent (US DoD) Theater of the Living Arts (Philadelphia, PA) Thin Layer Activation Three Letter Abbreviation My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry...

  7. Yes they are but calm yourself One size larger bag is fine. Often unnecessary unless the manufacturer has an unrealistic view on real life sizing. Yes it STILL happens after all these years. If you know why the person had a baglock, you wouldn't do what caused it. They're not easy to get and often caused by unstable deployments rather than having anything to do with line stows are bag size. What matters for a bag is the canopy fits in it and then into the container.. If you look around, you'll find that some are super tight fit while others are not. The locking stows need to stay shut through line stretch and that's it. Keeping it shut is simple. Don't read too much into it. My opinion is still what I wrote above. If you can afford the new stuff then by all means but you are likely to find good equipment used, in the sizes you are looking for.

  8. Most don't say that actually. What's to flame? It's a bag, if it goes into and out of the container comfortably, then there's no issue with it at all. The bag on my old infinity is small, what a pain in the ass. (that was my fault, I ordered a rig believing a different pack volume). A slightly larger bag is a much better deal in that case. regulator, as far as new vs used. If you can find a decent used set up that fits you pretty well. Save up for a new rig later on. The advice about making canopy choices now for the next few years is a good one. Your choices will most likely change rapidly. 170 is a good size to find used. Besides the classifieds, there are a few people on this forum you can trust to help you out. Bonnie gravitygirl is a great person to deal with. She is one the most gear educated people with real life experience as a well rounded skydiver. Likestojump usually has a lot of good equipment as well. He's easy to deal with too. OP means original poster... f***ing acronyms. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
  9. It probably changes names. Be sure to update any of the antispyware programs you choose to use. Then reboot into safe mode to run them. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
  10. + 1000 See, now that's ok with him because you remembered to put a space between the + and the 1. Yeap, it's that damned space that gets me all worked up +1 My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
  11. Start with clearing all the cookies and temporary internet files. If it hasn't installed, that will probably get rid if that. If it did install, use the other links to download a fix ... good luck, that one sucks. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
  12. http://www.hardhatgear.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=5584 Ever had respiratory problems? My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
  13. Read your other thread ... of course I'm joking. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
  14. hahaha... I had one hit my helmet going about 70. Gave me a headache! I've flown under canopy with several hawks but haven't hit any. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
  15. You totally misunderstand of what he's doing there. see beyond the james bond aspects of what we do realize he did not burn any object or make B A S E jumping a crime. Just give it a couple weeks and you'll see what he's aiming toward. Can't you see he meant to be caught? My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
  16. His R6 is set up to be tossed on the ground. Stunt cage, 12 oclock bar... flattened tank... it's pimp! My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

  18. haha... nice r6 My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
  19. At least it's not as bad as .."That's been discussed before, do a search" Then doesn't provide any usable info. Or the word bump for the non-creative. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
  20. Bump My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
  21. Unless something drastic acted to allow it to fall, I would definitely assume it was pushed over. This bike isn't prone to tip over to the right very easy. Cruiser My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
  22. Exactly. Not bad on the boots though. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
  23. Interesting. I'll take note. If you try to cut it without the Kevlar under tension and it simply doesn't cut easily. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
  24. Maybe so but don't leave the bike where it can be messed with if at all possible. No I don't agree that people should mess with another bike ever, but know that it will be, so expect it. Mine doesn't get left out because I don't want to replace it. I ride a 2004 CBR 1000rr so someone would likely steal it rather than vandalize it. Kids think it's funny to push bikes over. People often think they can move the bike over too. It's easy if you know how but not so much if you've never done it. Over it goes. Sucks the bike was damaged. I'd be pissed but chances are nothing will come of it. edit: see sigline ... could still use improvement but close enough My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
  25. Initially. One riser per side. Toggles are free. It's a Paraglider. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
