Best Skydiving Movie EVER (Chris Cowden)
hookitt replied to Floats18's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
If you were on that team... you would have deserved it. It was getting old asking them to leave earlier or let us out first. They continuously hosed us and stopped right after that dive. Kevin is a gentle giant, but a giant nonetheless. He wasn't about to get his nose broken My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto -

The correct spelling is organize Anyway ... A 4 way team that used to jump in Hollister way back when, used to sit at the door and wait for their spot to be just right. A guy named Kevin cured them of that habit. After causing us to barely make it back too many times in a row, they were at it again. Kevin planted his foot firmly on the ass of one of the flyers and assisted them in performing an acrobatic exit. Edit: No spelling errors were corrected. I simply removed Kevin's last name.

1) There's always a guy over on the left. Look out for that guy. 2) Access options are usually the ones affiliated with ascending to the top. The top is usually best unless it's under hung. That's about it. Hope that helps. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Haven't done it in a while but I can definately moon walk. I'll bust it out especially if it embarrasses the person I'm dancing with. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Riggers - do you use packers?
hookitt replied to councilman24's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Sometimes. When I had team commitments I used a packer almost every time. When there was a lot of AFF instructional dives and a packer was availble, I'd see if they can help me out. Then the occasional, lazy at the end of the day pack job. I know who packs so it doesn't really concern me too much using a packer. If it opens, doesn't hurt and doesn't lead to a cutaway, then fine. If does hurt... well, I lie and say it was perfect!!! If that's the way it normally opens when he/she packs, we'll have a packing lesson. Coincidently, I was packing up a guys reserve so he could jump again, and he packed up my main. He didn't want to but I insisted. Wouldn't you know it, unrecoverable spinning linetwists. I blamed it on body position but he didn't buy it The CYPRES batteries were due anyway. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto -

Who knows, but I know an extremely fit woman who's ass would make a fine dinner. Edit: because it sounded even weirder than it does now. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

That said... I've watched a person try and put the handle back by sticking it back in the velcro. He deployed the main, it sat him up and released. The rsl activated the reserve while he did a back flip in to the lines. It was quite impressive and luckily he was mostly unscathed. Just one small line burn. Student jumps ... Of course, deploy the main and let the RSL do the rest. There's the slim chance it won't work and a manual deployment will then be needed. I've had mine come free about 11 years ago. I could see that it hadn't pulled the cables free so I covered it and deployed the main. If the handle was many inches out like in that picture, pulling the reserve doesn't seem unreasonable.

Having a BASE # to do a BASE jump is like going to the deli and pulling a number so you can order a sandwich. Number 1009?... 1010? That's me!!! I'd like one flick with 450 feet of altitude 2 1/2 second delay, hold the line twists. Make that 4 please Beef Asparagus Sausage Eggplant My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

In a previous life as an auto mechanic, one of the accounts was with the police department. When they brought vehicles in for an alignment, I had to fix and test drive them. The Mustang was pretty nice. Some reason people would slow down and get out of my way during the test drive. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Have you ever hitchhiked or picked up a hitchhiker?
hookitt replied to windcatcher's topic in The Bonfire
I was picked up hitch hiking one day and after a good conversation, he invited me to dinner with the family. The food was great but I gotta say, his wife sure seemed a bit freaked out. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto -

Wrong forum but.... Basic method to ground launch. This is very general and not intended to be used as instructions. Remove the slider and pilot chute. Run the brakelines through the guide rings. Don't stow your brakes but put them in the keepers. Face up the hill,(half line twist) kite it (good luck with that) steer with rear risers Spin around and grab the toggles. Control the canopy above your head. Practice kiting the canopy. When it's time, start running down the hill and flare. You might be able to fly the canopy on rears, maybe not. Chances are you're going to get drug around quite a bit so if there is a good amount of wind, and obstacles behind you, don't hit them.

If you have a sinus headache, take a bunch of chinese hot mustard and put it on your mouth and swallow just a bit of it. Breath through your nose and Presto, instant brain pain. It does however relieve the sinus pressure. I'll bet that's what happened to the guy on a much larger scale. I laughed pretty hard watching that video.
