I have to admit that profile info is one of my peeves but it's not that big of a deal. I would tell them to go fuck themselves until they fill out their profile. Don't forget to add "Have a nice day" and a

If you bring another bottle of that scotch and forget where it is.

I really don't need all of that "benefit of the doubt". Your initial post had more of a "look what I did" feel then a "I learned something",especially since it appears that you were merely looking for a copy of the video. Don't worry, if it's out there you'll be on the internet soon. Now lets move on since you spent more time giving me the "benefit of the doubt" then looking at what got you to 1000ft with a spun up canopy. I would be willing to bet the folks out a Eloy advise against someone with 32 jumps spiraling a canopy below probably 2000ft or possibly higher. Next, I am willing to bet they probably prohibit doing the same over any of their landing areas.If either of the two above statements are not true you should find a new place to jump. I'm very happy that you didn't take the time to try to fix anything. If you had you would probably be dead. However this statement really bothers me. At your level of situational awareness ( I don't mean this to sound condescending but at 32 jumps you are only aware of so much)your EPs are pull your cutaway handle and then your reserve handle. You failed to do 50% of that. Your EPs should not be something you have to "come up with". Now on to my presumption. The only presumption that I might have is to the intent of your original post and whether or not you are one of those people that are too cool for school. The content of your original post after having two days to think about it led me to the second part of that. I would suggest then that you always pull high. There is no way to know if in another second or two you would have pulled your reserve handle in the absence of the RSL, I'm betting you would have. The next question to ask is after two more seconds and in a subterminal deployment would your reserve have deployed in time and fully? Now we'll move on to my main point and really a step back. I lost two friends in '07 due to a canopy collision. Short story, someone with 8000 jumps didn't see another someone with 6000 jumps and in a matter of seconds lives are changed forever. At 32 jumps and at 1500ft your only concern should be to land your canopy without hurting yourself or anyone else. Over and above working on your EPs I hope you will take that last statement to heart. You were seconds from not being here to start this thread. The content of your original post did not show a understanding or concern for that.

I didn't say that was all I would be doing.

Smallways ,8 to 12 ways maybe

I'll be expecting my royalty payment.

I'm going to break down and be the asshole here. My first thought was I hope this is a troll. My first thought after that was why were you spiraling your canopy at 1200 ft. After reading your statement,"I didn't know the canopy would do that", my next thought was I hope you get with an instructor and find out what else you may not know. Your comment about not pulling your reserve handle and then the "oh well" tells me that maybe you have the wrong attitude to be allowed to skydive again. If I had read that and you came to a DZ that I owned I would not let you jump without some serious conversations and close supervision. This may all seem harsh but you almost died and I think you have the wrong attitude about what you did and did not do.

I was going for a IBTM.

My numbers were right up there and then one day a thread I was replying to got moved while I was typing.

So does your ass still hurt?

All of that and no picture. WTF?? Happy Birthday!!

I don't know but is that Clays feet?

If you were worth a shit you would have a phone number. Hmmm...I wonder who might have a phone number?

Congrads Don. Y'all should set up with us Friday and come back and hang with us Sat. night after you jump.

Not very smart were they.

i'm still here...i like panty pics!! Me too.

19.367 on the third try.

How many do you want?

Yeah you do!! Can i maybe hit ya up for a hug too?? Why sure.

I'll bring you a t-shirt. I think I owe you one.

No, this is not an official thread. It was merely me looking for information because ,well I was damn tired of waiting for it. Me Me Me Me Me. Once again I got what I wanted.

I'm looking forward to this. I have not been to Chester in a few years. Maybe I can convince some of the RoamingDZ crowd to make the trip since Dublin is not going to happen. Just so everyone knows, if I do anything this year it is going to be small so you might want to save your money and plan on going to Chester for this. I hope the DZ keeps an eye on this and plans for aircraft accordingly. We have been known to cause a problem in that department. (cough..Z-hills '05...cough)

It's my job.

Boobies!!
