  1. this is actually very easy, and can also alleviate other comfort issues also. like leg straps pinching.
  2. I got tears in my eyes! freeflyers thinking like belly flyers, I thought I would never see the day. I can't tell if i'm crying or laughing.
  3. silly senator, don't negotiate with terrorist.
  4. will somone tell wendy to check her pm's please! thanks.
  5. im really sorry to hear that, im sure you will figure it out.
  6. why would they do big turns then? nevermind, im staying out of this.
  7. Shenanigans on what? On your "i jumped a lot of canopies so i know" talk. Once again all i see are YOUR thoughts on concepts. Present me with a valid SCIENTIFICALLY proven theory (or even just a theory) and i am willing to consider my point an error. Otherwise... it's just your opinion. dont get so defensive. as much as i hate to say it, i share his same opinion.
  8. 5 times. 1, severe line twist on a stiletto. 2. tension knots on a VX 3. intentional, testing a skyhook. 4. tension knots on the VX AGAIN! 5. bag lock. was under my reserve, p.d. 106
  9. doubling your speed= tripling your drag. thats assuming you can still turn the canopy. it isnt that hard loaded up at 2.5, but tell that to somone under a sabre 150.
  10. there is a whole other theory on this that would shed A LOT of light on why it is not bogus, but I will let someone else explain it. because it doesn't seem "conservative" enough for most.
  11. can't WAIT till i see ya in a swoop comp bro! MY ASS HURTS MY KNEE HURTS MY EGO HURTS. welcome to swooping!
  12. can hold more water. feels thicker. but is a higher density altitude. so you travel faster.
  13. yes, your canopy will travel faster in warmer weather. when the air is thinner you travel faster, when thicker you travel slower. same for jumping at different altitudes, in colorado, 5000 ft above sea level, you will travel across the ground quicker than you would at sea level, because of the thickness of the air. google,: "density altitude" for a further explanation.
  14. ya, they are nice. i put my order in, now im changing it tonight and putting my new order in. they do respond very quickly to emails and even phone calls. and the quality is awesome.
  15. You know if you ask some of the top pilots about their progression with downsizes, you just might find that early on in their careers they were EXACTLY that type of people you speak of. to some extent, but if you really do go around and ask, i'm sure you will find a majority in the opposite of what you speak of.
  16. only cut away from a malfunction!, unless you have an extra reserve.
  17. SUIT!!! NOW!!!! please!!!! www.liquidskysports.com i want my freefly suit and swoop pants.

  19. Sarcasm is hard to detect online. I got him, others may not. Dont get into a debate on the joke side of it. I got him, maybe you didn't get me, i'm hard to get sometimes, so I understand. I dont debate, i'm not good at it..
  20. my text. "when i write" always has a sense of humor.. why do you say that? cant you tell i'm smiling.? and joking? kind of just like I could tell you were joking with the motorcycle analogy.
  21. Not if you are in tune with your body and have been racing motorcycles all your life. what about them? what if you go just under them and they freak and turn and die? does being in tune with YOUR body help them? i think not.
