It grew from a slithering big vagina to a HUGE slithering vagina. Longevity! Edit: Judging by the characters erased from this post, you'd think there was a wandering, keyboard walking on, feline about the place but alas, there is not.

Don't pet them. Don't feed them. Don't carry food with you if you go sight seeing. A sandwich in the back pocket could mean 10 monkeys fighting each other for the sandwich. The fight really close to the sandwich and are great climbers. Don't feed or pet the youngins. Youngins have parents. The parents don't want you messing with their kid. Monkeys don't run rampant so unless you go sight seeing you won't be in the situation. They are cute... but they will still bite you and believe it or not, it can be fatal. Good luck!

It's not unforgivable but it is comparable to eating your homies as they die off after you've been stranded in the frosty mountains after a plane crash. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Nice! Actually JP, you are a bit abrasive online. I'll still jump with you any day though. It's just a website... hmmm.. one can post stories on a website no? I like reading stories. Let me know when you're back in the area. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Just so happens that I found the dark ground footage for that jump on a computer I had in storage. Good times. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Sewing your own main/reserve parachutes or rig?
hookitt replied to newtoskydiving's topic in The Bonfire
I've jumped a home made canopy. by the time he brought it to the dropzone, he had 50 jumps. He figured out how it was constructed just by looking at one and taking notes. He bought all the supplies and sewed it together on his Moms kitchen floor. It flew, not very well, but it flew. It was in a 3 canopy rig so I didn't land it. A couple years later, he trimmed the nose down and it flew a LOT better. The aspect ratio was really high and the brake lines didn't pull much of the tail down so I opted to cut it away again. With an additional brake line and another jump or two, I think it was safely landable. Unfortunately he took it back before I got around to putting another brake line on it. Except for the actual container part, I've jumped a lot of my own stuff. Harnesses, D-bags, risers, pilot chutes, reserve and cutaway handles, and a complete BASE rig, but have never considered making a canopy.

Look up buzzard or vulture on google. Look at images and see if one of the pictures is the same as the birds you see. Most likely they'll just fly away until sometime after you leave the structure. There are a lot of Turkey Vultures on a certain structure around here. They just fly away. Sometimes you can pass one or two of them without disturbing them if they are sleeping. I've walked up the stairs on a local object, right past large falcons sleeping on the railing before. They don't bother you. If there are bird kids or unhatched bird kids, then you may have some trouble. edit: I must be slackin, you guys beat me buy several minutes.

Read the article... it was a circular saw. (quoted in the post above yours) My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Circular Saw. Not a chainsaw. A chain saw would have been spectacular. Poor planning indeed. They should have set up a tripod to capture it on video for those they intended to leave behind. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Do you jump with hard riser inserts for the excess cutaway cable?
hookitt replied to Chris-Ottawa's topic in Gear and Rigging
I was under a Stiletto at approximately 1.4 wingload. That was nothing compared to being spun up under something smaller and faster. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto -
Do you jump with hard riser inserts for the excess cutaway cable?
hookitt replied to Chris-Ottawa's topic in Gear and Rigging
Having been the recipient of a nearly impossible cutaway, I would not be willing to take the chance of jumping without them anymore. Specifically, the risers were twisted enough to pin my head down. That made it rather easy to see the cutaway and reserve handle which was nice. The handle was already peeled from the Velcro, so that had nothing to do with it. It took both hands and a huge portion of adrenaline enhanced strength to finish the cutaway. If that same thing happened to a person of similar weight and low upper body strength, the following options would have been available 1) Pass out. Body goes limp. Damage from impact might be lessened due to the relaxed state. The impact site was not very cushy so major debilitating injuries or death caused by impact trauma was probable. 2) Pull the reserve ripcord and cross your fingers.

Whatever. I'd jump with JP anyday. Then again, with all the skydives listed on my profile, BASE skills are probably non-existent. By the way, it's entirely possible I've packed on a dusty floor inside a B on the way to the top with dride and a guy named nate. It was no big deal given the circumstances. The guy watching the place was not about to walk up 40 plus flights of stairs. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Nah, it fluctuates from around 17 to 45 depending on the seaon or if it's a leap year. With the new Day Lights Savings schema, it may jump up to 60 for part of the year. It's hard to find another BASE jumper anywhere in the Bay Area. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto
