I wish i was coming Al. I would love to come compete, I'm just broke for the season. saving for next year.

You do work for them don't you? Of course you are going to defend them. You profit from their scams. true, he does. but he is blinded by the bullshit, just like alot of other peeps who work there. there are alot of good kids there, and it is easy to get blinded by the bullshit that goes on... dan knows that there is bullshit that goes on there, he just isn't sick of it, YET. although, shit has gotten better since tyler started being maneger. Tyler is the best thing they got going for them, hands down.

Dan, I got one question for you.. Why do you think there is so much bad thoughts, and bad energy focused toward ASC, and Skyride? think about it dude...

Coffee_spill_this_morning_first_time_using_it_since_damit_thanks_but_a_trip_to_the_store_in_the_morning_will_work_smart_ass Tami I wasn't being a smartass but I understand. p.s., I would love to come down and check out this new dz!

I am writing something now that will give tips on JVX packing. it should be up soon.

ya, what was that shit about... ohh ya, he was asking for Ian drennen and if he was wearing the skin tight red shirt. at 4AM!!!

you can generate more speed if your body, "weight" is a pendulum. and when your body swings out in front of the canopy it pitches it upward. that way you don't add any input and the canopy climbs at full efficiency. although this is just one point of view, there are other ways, and ideas to do the "pop up" thing your talking about. do it too much, and it hurts you. do it to little not much help. do it just right, and you will go sailing. It kinda "just happens" and to answer dave's question. that isn't the canopy not being able to stay down on the water, it is the pilot. or stay down in the course. if you have problems popping out of the course in speed runs, try not using your rears to turn, you need to use more harness and straighten out the turn. if you arent straight, and you have all that speed, turning with your rears will pop you out of the course. you will climb off the water even more when your going downwind. try using toggles instead of rears if your not hitting it just right and are climbing off the water. if your body pendulums too much when your trying to stay on the water, the same thing happens, your body gets out in front of the canopy, which pitches it up, and causes it to climb.

are you asking about the JVX? the openings are quite nice if the canopy is packed correctly. I wouldn't call the 1500 ft openings by any means.

I hear his next stunt may be swooping downtown Atlanta with a white hood on. Now that would be a great stunt DUDE!!! I will do that stunt, but I need a geteway car. NOT driven by you.

you tell me Holmes! what do you know about the southeast?

thats competition baby! I plan on doing my part to help see we stay on top! and i'm sure there are others from around here that will also. just wait till you see next year!!!! honestly, a lot of it stems off from Hans Paulson. his influence around here has done a lot. there were others that he got his drive from, but Hans has taken it to where it is. others I remember, "kavin warren, and kevin risek. (sp) that isn't including everyone, but it is a good portion. now, on the other hand, what Chris Hays (sp) has done in recent years, that is what those "influenced" pilots used to "organize" themselves. and then of course, Jim Slaton, who took that model Chris created, national.

having jumped both, I would choose the JVX. and as for the lines not lasting, you can get vectran as your line if you choose to do so. see my above post. download the JVX order form and see for yourself what the line options are.

if that is you pissed, will you marry me?

you can count jess from the southeast to. she rocks!

riding your rears too long is a common problem. I had that problem also. there is a way to use your rears, but then get the chance to release them to full flight for a bit before you get to toggles. this is where the efficiency comes into play..

this is a democracy, it is worth what someone will pay for it.

I sat here and thought about it for a second, and you are correct. trajectory, is "part" of the theory.

why?

Trajectory. We've been over this before Dan you say "Trajectory" but there are more than one theory toward this. but they all point in the same direction. my theory is different.

because it is nationals. I don't have the money to go either. the only people that I know are going are the sponsored teams.

Looks like they dominated the minor places (2nd-7th), since the comp was won on a VX. thats my old 87 vx, It is a badd ass canopy.

you don't have to get HMA on the JVX. your choices of line are. 550 spectra 725 spectra 750 vectran 550 vectran 350 HMA

I sure hope it smells better! you coming up?

good luck Paul! keep us updated! good luck Darren!!!! get in touch with me!
