No excuses rigging has a really good volume chart, but their website appears to be down. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

I didn't realize there was a fifth? Mostly Harmless No wonder you're a professor! http://www.douglasadams.com/ And to put the thread back on topic, the US is safer now. The world would be much safer if more cultures would waste time reading such books instead of chanting koranic verses from early childhood as a substitute for schooling.

Did any of you try Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency? To those that think we have only increased the threat from terorists, would that not also apply to Afghanistan? Should we apologize to the Taliban and ask them how we can make it better? Did we finally realize the 'gathering storm' or should we use diplomacy to achieve 'peace in our time'? Which leader of Britain do you think is a better example? People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

I'm not so sure about him being a 'staunch' conservative. He likes to use the term traditionalist. He just happens to be attacked by big name liberals. Did you listen to the tape?

Didn't he completely deny that claim on his show yesterday? This was just a claim that he said it, correct? People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

If you want to move into some bigger jumps (and there is good reason to want to do them), just let an organizer know that you're interested and be honest in describing your abilities and experience. They will likely find an appropriate place for you on some bigger loads, and you move on from there... Your skills will not be best developed by only doing small or large loads exclusively, but I say go ahead and challenge yourself with some good guidance. I was on a 32 way (third from last exiting) out of a narrow door DC-3 when I had your jump numbers. If you concentrate on safety skills - you must learn how to track without diving (you don't arch), learn how to approach a formation in control, and can stay in place when grips are released, then you will be popular with RW organizers. Don't be in a hurry, but if you want it, I say go for it. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

NEXT service bulletin Grounded until inspection!

I read that to mean that a US rigger is OK to pack the non-TSO rig while used in the US. The 'by a certificated parachute rigger' seems to leave open a US rigger. Just my opinion of the wording, I'm an engineer, not a lawyer. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

I think they will likely offer an attractive package price on other main canopy choices. Probably just have to ask.

Who has the fastest delivery time on a container?
sundevil777 replied to BlindBrick's topic in Gear and Rigging
Maybe they can replace your legstraps by turning the harness into a 'ringed' harness. Might be easier than replacing the main lift web, but only consider having the mfg do it. I think a new rig made for you would not be mistaken for a student rig - just a large rig.

I thought it was not at all tapered, but apparently am wrong. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

It is a partial zp fabric (easy to pack) 9 cell by para-flite (now only makes military canopies and stuff). At your loading, go ahead and try it out, it is not a 'radical' canopy. Even if it was considered high performance when it was introduced - I believe it is not tapered at all - completely rectangular. I put a couple jumps on a similarly loaded one and remember it to have a great flare. If it is the right price/condition, you should definitely consider it.

In order to increase your chances of getting a break... Get there early, be polite and ready to get in the suspended harness to show you know your stuff. Damn, I had a 3 month break between jump 1 & 2, then a 2 month break before #3, and I never paid for re-training. Just plead your case with respect.

You might try doing a full stall for a while, it can allow the PC to clear your canopy. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

Should students be allowed to use audibles?

The argument would be that you're not considering the incidents caused by the dependancy on them. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am -

The reason that you think things will be about the same no matter who is president is because so many others do care. That's OK. Go ahead and don't care. Others will take care of it. I personally have no problem with a large percentage of the population not voting. It is a sign of general satisfaction with the way things are - a good sign.

sundevil777 replied to lewmonst's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
A student dealing with malfunction, whether high or low speed, is likely to lose altitude awareness. Also, if they are dealing with instability they are likely to lose altitude awareness. I think it is totally inadequate to basically respond, but the student should learn not to lose altitude awareness without the benefit of an audible. How about this for an analogy - stall warning indicators on airplanes should be disabled for students because they become dependant on them, they should be forced to 'feel' the stall. Maybe a bad analogy, but it is a start. I am so surprised that there is any debate about this.

I think that a lot of skydivers you now respect would fall into that category - pulled low when considered students.

sundevil777 replied to lewmonst's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Might as well advocate that students should not have radios. They might become dependant on them. I say that you are so terribly wrong. I don't see how one can argue that at some altitude, an audible screaming into a numbnut student's ear is a bad idea. The audible can also serve to allow instructors to check on deployment altitude, allowing effective enforcement of pull altitude guidelines. Whether the appropriate altitude is 3K, or 2K, or whatever, that is the only question to be debated in my opinion.
