Yeah, it was just hilarious to hear that many of my friends and co workers were told to run for thier lives. "Insurance should called In case shit happens, if shit don't happen shouldn't I get my money back?"

I am always willing to help a bro find a decent hocraft www.hovercraft.com can someone make that clicky por favor "Insurance should called In case shit happens, if shit don't happen shouldn't I get my money back?"

Clearly you don't know where to look for a good hover craft these days. My experience when it comes to hovercraft is that you want something that is more functional rather than good looking. Women are a lot unlike women, generally the ugly one is the keeper. "Insurance should called In case shit happens, if shit don't happen shouldn't I get my money back?"

I decided to go ahead and demo a katana 120. Because of the crappy weather here the last two weeks I was only able toget 5 jumps on it. I really liked the canopy, it opened great everytime. Having heard from several sources that it had dive somewhere between a velocity and a stilleto, which I have jumped before, I was not really caught off guard by its' descent rate. In fact, I thought it would dive a little more than it did with riser input. I thoug th canopy had a good range also, it is definitely more ground hungry than what I am used to, but I could get it to fly pretty flat with riser and toggle inputs. I would agree that this is definitely a canopy that should not be in the hands of those who are not competent on something of a similar size. For me going from a Sabre 135 to the katana 120 was not a jump in perfomance that I wasn't ready for. I am planning on buying one as soon as I have the dinero, and as soon as PD starts making stock patterns that aren't so butt ugly "Insurance should called In case shit happens, if shit don't happen shouldn't I get my money back?"

I wouldn't read to much into these lists. It is very common for groups to invite members of Congress on "fact finding trips" When you consider the size and workload of those who serve in Congress, lobby groups fill the information void. Especially for those members who serve on foreign relations committees and the various subcommittees.

Are the record attempts going on? Just surprised no one has posted anything on them yet. "Insurance should called In case shit happens, if shit don't happen shouldn't I get my money back?"

Has anyone goitten any freefly coaching in the air or the tunnel with these yet. Just curious how much of an advantage it is. I would think that it would help quite a bit. "Insurance should called In case shit happens, if shit don't happen shouldn't I get my money back?"

I have had the opportunity to demo a Sabre 2 120 about a year ago. I thought it was a great canopy, great openings, fun to fly. After putting about twenty jumps or so on the demo I felt that I might want something a little more agressive, which is the reason I posted my original question. Thanks "Insurance should called In case shit happens, if shit don't happen shouldn't I get my money back?"

Just curious if anyone has gone from a Sabre or sabre2 to a Katana? I was thinking of demoing a Katana 120. I am jumping a Sabre 135 loaded at about 1.45, which I have put about 625 jumps on. Thanks "Insurance should called In case shit happens, if shit don't happen shouldn't I get my money back?"

Is your Unysin harness not what you expected?
ColdDuck replied to ColdDuck's topic in Gear and Rigging
I will try to get some pics (my rig is at the DZ). I tighten my chest strap first also. How tight do you tighten your chest strap? "Insurance should called In case shit happens, if shit don't happen shouldn't I get my money back?" -
Is your Unysin harness not what you expected?
ColdDuck replied to ColdDuck's topic in Gear and Rigging
No I generally wear the same amount of clothes whil jumping. I was curious about the question on the Mirage order form that ask if you want the rig to fit tight, medium, or loose. I chose medium as did everyone else that I know. My DZO did the measurements, we looked back at the measurements she took and verified that they were the ones that Mirage used to build the harness. The area where my rig is uncomfortable is in my chest and shoulders. At the DZ the other day I noticed that my reserve risers seem to have a lot of tension on them compared to other rigs that I saw on the DZ. On the ground and in the plane I find myself pushing the mudflaps away from my body to relieve the pressure on my shoulders.

ColdDuck replied to ColdDuck's topic in Gear and Rigging
I have had a G4 with a Unysin for the last year and a half. Right off the bat I was not really impressed with the comfort of the harness. the Folks at Mirage suggested that it would simply take some time to break in the harness. Jumping yesterday, the comfort of the harness hass not changed. I have tried on several other Mirages with the Unysin harness and they feel really comfortable. Just curious if anyon else has gotten a new rig, Mirage or anyother with articulation that has not really fit you that well? Thanks "Insurance should called In case shit happens, if shit don't happen shouldn't I get my money back?" -
Democracy in Iraq and other "countries Bush wants to spread freedom to"
ColdDuck replied to rhino's topic in Speakers Corner
The Iraqi people may have no idea what it is like to see a ballot with more than one name on it. The fact is that when people are given choices in elections, they tend to choose the least constraining party, and candidates. If you look at the fine line governments throughout the Middle East must walk in order to maintain thier control over citizens it proves in my opinion that if given a choice, these people would opt for more moderate leaders. I don't see why spreading democracy is such a bad thing. We can accomplish this by simply assuring that countries hold free and fair elections, Ukraine for example. Our efforts under the Belarus Democracy Act for example provides support for indigenous groups within Belarus that support democratic principles. To say whether President Bush is a great president or not at this point is meaningless. The greatness of any president is not realized until long after their presidencies are over. The same will be true for this President. "Insurance should called In case shit happens, if shit don't happen shouldn't I get my money back?" -
Yeah but if we attacked Japan before they attacked us than people like you would call President Roosevelt a murderer. "Insurance should called In case shit happens, if shit don't happen shouldn't I get my money back?"

Why the hell should we have to wait until we are attacked before we act? That is one of the dumbest rationales I have ever heard. By the way the U.S. operation in Iraq would be considered a "Preventive Strike" and not a so called preemptive strike.

Exactly, And it is much better in the long run for the U.S. to deal with Iran rather than Israel. "Insurance should called In case shit happens, if shit don't happen shouldn't I get my money back?"

Do you loosen your chest strap once you are open? I had the same issues with the slider on a sabre2 120, and as soon as I loosened the chest strap it would come down the rest of the way like it should. Give it a try.

Thanks, Do you know who took those shots? There are some ground photos on Perris' webiste [url]http://skydiveperris.com/perriscam/archiveb.asp?f=2004_0501 "Insurance should called In case shit happens, if shit don't happen shouldn't I get my money back?"
