I understand you're saying it was spinning violently, but the ability for a reserve to open into a mess should not be underestimated. Of course it is a lousy option, but I believe a viable one. We should also remember that the really fast skyhook reserve deployments are when the main is flying normally, fully open. The reserve would take longer to open when it is being 'skyhooked' open by a torn canopy/baglock/etc. as in this case, closer toward the altitude needed in a non-skyhook deployment. 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

Have you considered Jump Shack's main and reserve canopies? They have 280 and 300 reserves, and 272 and 298 hybrid fabric mains. It is too bad that the Optimums only go to a 253, that would really cut down on the container size. Remember that a Solo can be made with the ZPX fabric for lower pack vol, and it comes with dacron lines std, that will increase the pack vol a bit unless you order it with spectra. You might be able to get an Infinity to fit your size canopies (they are of course the best container available

Someone recently went over 30k in a PAC, in the pursuit of setting a time aloft record with a wingsuit. 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

Sounds like you're saying he's a racist, do you base it on anything besides this issue of his cabinet? What about if a black governor/mayor/whatever picked all black cabinet members. Would that be enough evidence of racism? People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

You're correct - it isn't true - that is, the TSA can ask for whatever they want. They once told me that I had to unpack my main and reserve. They gave me some bullshit story that it was just approved mandatory procedure, but wouldn't show me the document specifying it, and wouldn't confirm the real std procedure that USPA worked out with them to streamline our carrying them on. I even had a copy of that procedure document, they lied and said it had been superseded. I realize they can ask for the reserve to be opened, but they were saying it always had to be, for every instance. You could spend hours trying to convince the TSA that they should or shouldn't do something. It really comes down to whatever mood they're in, regardless of what they are supposed to do. Plan accordingly, which means have a bag that you can put it in for check in if needed.

I think it is very reasonable for him to go to a tunnel, especially since there is a very good one close to him. I would think it reasonable for a DZ such as Perris/Eloy to consider an AFF program that has some tunnel time as part of the training. The result would be better, fewer rejumps, better retention, all good things.

ZP canopies have been reported to have a tendency for the fabric to stick together after some time. Perhaps there are conditions that promote this, such as high temp, high pressure/compression, and others environmental conditions or maybe it is just time? Anyway, there is good reason to not make the comparison to reserves. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

Must have been in another thread. In this one you just asked where the criticism was. You provided no other commentary. Great. Who are you targeting here? One of the leading categories of gun injury is self-inflcted wounds. Well done, like it! Good shot!

I did. I'm going to stick to my guns, and target those in the political left that tried to make an issue where there was none. Just putting them in my sights, taking aim and a shot at those that are hypocrites.

Get your advice on body position and how to recover from tumbling/spinning from your instructors. However, I can confidently pass on to you that perhaps the most important thing for you to do is to be able to relax. That is not at all easy to do, to relax when so much pressure from the wind is on your limbs. Don't fight the air with tense muscles. You must relax. It is not easy to figure out how to do it, but when you do, everything will seem relatively easy. Of course it is relatively easy to do it if you have a wind tunnel to do it in. Good luck.

Does that mean that women dress in order to look good for other women, or do they want to appeal to men? I know, the only man that should matter to the first lady is her husband, but still, men should not surrender their 'voting rights' on the issue of what women wear.

I had an immediate negative reaction to the dress when I saw it a few days ago, but there are so many other meaningful things for which to criticize her, this should not be one of them.

I don't see a reason to complain. At least Obama chose someone from industry rather than an academic, he already has plenty of those.

Again, instead of discussing the issue, you twist things to belittle others, and to get a last insult in. Very bad form, especially for a moderator.

What you ignore is any sort of weighting factor. To you, any incident is equivalent to any other - no difference in degree due to content or the position of the person doing it. That is a twisted view of reality. Instead of arguing actual facts, you do a lot of summarizing other people's views in your own words - inaccurately, intentionally wrongly in order to belittle others in your elitist manner. Do you not think we've grown tired of it? It is as if you're having an argument with yourself. That is very bad form, twisting another person's words.

Your reality isn't exactly flat sir, that is not what I said, it is you 'twisting' of reality. 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

You don't think very well then. I was thinking more along the lines of what political leaders and members of the press say. That is a lot more important than what someone at a political rally thinks. Do you agree? If yes, why do you bring it up? I've seen a lot of really viscous signs on display at lib events, so I don't think you would have the result you think anyway. Have you forgotten how much Bush was hated and how freely that hate was displayed? People have attended tea party rallies with signs just so they would get attributed to conservatives. It worked, at least for those that wanted to believe the implication of seeing such a sign at a political event. You don't think it is right to generalize about the larger group based upon a small part of that group, except when it is about conservatives and fits your template.

You've been shown examples of how incredibly hateful and violent the rhetoric, gun and target imagery among others, was from the left, both lately and in decades past. You seem to choose not to pay attention, which is not a surprise. 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

Your point fails because you portray the rhetoric as equivalent in nastiness and such. It is hardly. Conservatives are fed up with the biased treatment from the mainstream press, your bias is representative of that.
