well I just though it was a perfect opportunity to plug the company of my choice. plus the one that throws the first puch is always the bad guy! it is the same with petrol prices it takes the first company to put the price up for the others to follow suit! so even if everyone puts thier prices up then PD are to blame!!!

What a load of crap!!! the new pricing stucture will help the dealers have to put up thier prices too! Just buy an ICARUS canopy, they're much better anyway! and the openings leave PD for dust! . "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

I don't oppose whaling if it is done with a quota system. as long as the numbers are watched then whats the propblem! if you protect the whales and not the pther marine life then you end up with too many whales, just like the elephants and cats in africa. the national parks actually sell the right to shoot them to keep the population at a sustainable level! if you eat fish you are contributing tho the imbalance in the ocean. so as long as a considerate quota system is in place i think it is a good idea!

Thats what i love about americans, the whole world is supposed to love the american dream and bow down to the stars and stripes. these people probably didn't give a flying fuck about america before thier lives were ruined, now they despise the fact that you can live freely while their lives are in ruins. get my point sherlock? hatred is not built in it is formed by some sort of violence! and in this case unessecary violence in the name of greed!

I'd like to think it is 99.9% less likely to happen to me as i am far less than complacent with my customers harnesses. I have nightmares about that sort of shit and to hear about people that simply do not do thier customers harness up vitually at all really shocks me! sounds like you are defending the man? "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

what is wrong with the word crippled? and i think the tandem instructor in question is the 'poor bastard' he must feel like shit. what do you mean i am 1 jump away from the wheelchair? "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

leaving the belly band loos and leaving the back strapand diagonal back adjusters are two completely separate issues! some student harnesses do not have a belly band at all! i don't think and I/E would ever teach a t/M to not tighten the back strap and diagonal adjusters! and if they do they should have thier rating pulled! i was no attacking the man i was simply stating that the maufacturer has nothing to do with the incident. i jump strong as well and there is no way a customer could fall out of the harness if adjusted correctly! "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

fuck yeah it is!! the back strap and the diagonal adjusters were not done up correctly or at all. he had fuck all tandems and was showing a complete display of complacency. since i heard about the crippled fellow falling out of a harness i really crank the back strap. when the diagonals and back strap are done up it would be impossible to fall out of that hole. don't get me wrong i feel sorry for the poor bastard, but shit man you can't forget what we are doing here. complacency kills, and this is a prime example!

i was reading in a similar thread that using an off camera flash through the next plexeglas panel around works well so the reflection is nowhere near your camera! "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

I never thought of it like that! tough old bitch she was too. pretty hardcore if you ask me "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

correction the U.S. needs the U.S. economy to be stable. "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

Ok I checked this out on google and it seems legit. I just hate the idea of someone fucking with glaciers! If you care about the planet read on, if not, my apologies and please erase this email. Judge for yourself if you want to take action: In the Valle de San Felix, the purest water in Chile runs from 2 rivers, fed by 2 glaciers. Water is a most precious resource, and wars will be fought for it. Indigenous farmers use the water, there is no unemployment, and they provide the second largest source of income for the area. Under the glaciers has been found a huge deposit of gold, silver and other minerals. To get at these, it would be necessary to break, to destroy the glaciers - something never conceived of in the history of the world - and to make 2 huge holes, each as big as a whole mountain, one for extraction and one for the mine's rubbish tip. The project is called PASCUA LAMA. The company is called Barrick Gold. The operation is planned by a multi-national company, one of whose Members is George Bush Senior. The Chilean Government has approved the project to start this year, 2006. The only reason it hasn't started yet is because the farmers have got a temporary stay of execution. If they destroy the glaciers, they will not just destroy the source of specially pure water, but they will permanently contaminate the 2 rivers so they will never again be fit for human or animal consumption because of the use of cyanide and sulphuric acid in the extraction process. Every last gramme of gold will go abroad to the multinational company and not one will be left with the people whose land it is. They will only be left with the poisoned water and the resulting illnesses. The farmers have been fighting a long time for their land, but have been forbidden to make a TV appeal by a ban from the Ministry of the Interior. Their only hope now of putting brakes on this project is to get help from international justice. The world must know what is happening in Chile. The only place to start changing the world is from here. We ask you to circulate this message amongst your friends in the following way. Please COPY this text, PASTE it into a new email adding your signature and send it to everyone in your address book. Please will the 100th person to receive and sign the petition send it to noapascualama@yahoo.ca to be forwarded to the Chilean Government. No to Pascua Lama Open-cast mine in the Andean Cordillera on the Chilean-Argentine frontier. We ask the Chilean Government not to authorize the Pascua Lama project to protect the whole of 3 glaciers, the purity of the water of the San Felix Valley and El Transito, the quality of the agricultural land of the region of Atacama, the quality of life of the Diaguita people and of the whole population of the region. To find out more about the opposition of this project you can search Pascua Lama Project on the internet.

I see there are more freestyle teams entered than freefly teams? Is this not unusual? I wonder if freestyle is making a resurgence? "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

I put the harness on 90% at first and just prior to emplaning i tighten it 100% as when the student sits on the floor of the aircraft the harness loosens (like everones) anyway. i do tweak the MLW a little when i snapp the top snaps. as a photographer i have seen to often TM's that crank up the MLW when sitting in the plane and then they wonder why the student can't arch!!! fucking idiots! they don't even get it when they stand up on the ground and the student cant even physically stand up because the harness is too tight. and if you try to tell them.... well watch out! My pet hate! "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

they don't know the cause of breast cancer but smoking is definately a cause of lung cancer. people choose to smoke but they don't choose to have breast cancer, maybe the research will help people find out if they are doing somthing to make them more succeptible to breast cancer. people can smoke if they want!
