See I knew it! Look at the first line of the original post! I only searched the bonfire for the title of the video but didn't find it so I posted this wonderful masterpiece in hopes people will enjoy their day just a little bit more! Sure is a great song isn't it?

Only 43 views on such an awesome video? Pretty unbelievable if you ask me. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

You are wrong. The video is good. Really good. The video you posted is rather jiggly... or is it juggly? My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

We're talking via the internet so I can tell you anything. No I don't know the person but seriously what's not to like? The song is brilliant. The melody is catchy and has a beat you can really move to. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

This must have been posted already but I didn't find it in here so ... My Parachute Won't Open

Neither... it's all corn syrup anyway. Given the choice between VooDoo and Mirage, I choose VooDoo. Comfort and ease of rigging both main and reserve. Good luck My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

5.8 seconds delay is approximately 500 feet. You'll be traveling close to 90 MPH or around 140 KPH. Anything after about 3 seconds with a stable deployment is fine. Expect a slow opening. The distance from pilot chute to open canopy will be pretty minimal but the time it takes to open will be fairly normal, only softer.

Oh... haha... good luck with that. It's not going to happen My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

As in do a Tandem skydive then unhook and jump off? Or just do a Mr Bill dive using standard gear? My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Hell yeah ! In line for tandem Mr Bill ! They're a blast . Be very careful how you secure your own rig. If you go face to face, you'd better be damn sure nothing can open. If you go in the normal position, it's just uncomfortable but still be sure to secure things properly... hide your pilot chute and dig it out before you unhook. Practice securing the top connectors. They need to be completely out of the way before you jump off. Or so I've heard.... My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

and i think Sangi is in the front of the line,,jumping up and down,,saying,,me next ! me next ! So what? Plus, do you really think that, or wish that upon someone? By the way, my comments are not directed toward you specifically, many people have said things like that. His thoughts are no different than most skydivers who want to progress. Most don't act on them but the people who do are indirectly the reason we have such good equipment to use now. I've done PLENTY of out of the ordinary jumps and while some people ridicule or think it's crazy... it's nothing compared to what others have done. You can do things in a haphazard way, or you can plan it out and train yourself to function under those circumstances. A lot of ripping is going on in this thread. I'll paraphrase one of those thoughts: - If you stand on my back I'll smash your face in when we get on the ground.- That statement is based on a random act. Someone who would do that has permission. It wouldn't be someone just hopping on out of the blue. No need to chew someone out for a simple thought. Thinning the herd comment is pretty lame. I personally think taking certain risks is cool. However it's cool to me... meaning I want to push my personal envelope. Expand my experience. Does it mean I'm going to randomly hop on the back of a Tandem?... Think about it logically. The answer in case it actually needs to be said is no. I applaud forward thinking. Telling a guy he's going to kill himself because he wants to see a picture and is teaching himself to fly is pretty obnoxious in my opinion.

I'm definitely late to this thread. I've no doubt she demonstrated that she had the knowledge and correct actions to perform a safe skydive. My student on Saturday demonstrated to me that he had the correct actions and knowledge as well. It didn't go so smooth. You simply don't now what a student will do until they do it. Mako did a good job. This video is a reminder not to leave too quickly if you're on main side. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

You might want to look into getting a new teacher, your current one is an idiot. And some of you guys are dicks. Don't worry, I'm not just referring to you I'm very much self taught, Come fly with me sometime and let me know if I do ok and have reasonable safety standards. Good thing that in real life people would probably just answer the questions. Carry on :) My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Put your mind at ease. Lay the rig face down. Pull the bridle straight up and the pin will come right out. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

I read the post, then opened the picture. "I don't get it. She's nice looking ... OOooh!!!" laughed out loud My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

That is incorrect. My attempt at humor eluded you. I have no picture of it so I chose that one. It was still boring to jump from My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

I jumped from one at the 96 world free fall convention. The worlds most boring airplane!!! Attached is a fitting picture. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Nope. Rob is correct. It counts down, displays 1111 rather than 1, then shuts off. It will keep displaying 0 if you unplug it after it counts down. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

A CYPRES brand AAD with a fired cutter also returns the same results. The connection is rather solid so it's not terribly likely to come undone with with anything other than poor rigging. I have 2 brand new in the box CYPRES2 AADs at my house right now so I'll check them out when I return. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Did they really send those !!! That is awesome~! Enjoy the real one when it arrives. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Not likely. If you were assymetrical especially if you went head low, the opening you described is not surprising. It probably wasn't even a real fast opening. The body can be whipped up like that pretty easily. Another common action once the pilot chute is thrown is to reach for risers with the elbows out in front of you and hands just above the 3 rings. The legs get extended and poof... head low. Just do the pull position 360 drill, plus what you learned from the article and check back. Remember to be relaxed. The less you do to "help" the better. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Body position as an answer is far too vague so I'll attempt to convey a drill so you can fix it yourself. Often new skydivers throw really hard using a lot of unnecessary body english. Remember, the pilot chute is not a hand grenade and the wind at your side is as strong as a Category 3 hurricane so theres no need to throw really hard. Fly in the pull position. Head looking forward, not down. Be aware of a heading but still keep your head up. Put your left hand out front. You should be able to see it. Put your right hand over the pilot chute handle. Remember to keep the legs even and extended slightly. Hold that heading for a few seconds. . Turn a slow to medium speed, controlled left 360 degree back to your original heading. Then do it to the right. When it's time to pull, wave off early then go into pull position and hold it for a few seconds keeping your heading. When it is the actual time to pull, toss the pilot chute and return to a neutral flying postion, Don't look sideways and watch the pilot chute. Do-not-reach for the risers. Do Maintain a neutral freefall body position until the canopy pulls you upright. As it pulls you up right, put your legs together to ensure the harness stays even. Good luck Edit: I just remembered this article. Click that ==> Body Language: Helping Your Canopy Open Better My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Thanks Spence. I know the BSRs, However I was referring specifically to the farm in my previous post. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
