  2. Yeah you got it!!! El Limo!!! Put the el limo in my drinko. See? It's el fun and easio!!!! Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!
  3. You are all sadly incorrect. Being of distinct mexicanese bloodline I can assure you that the proper word is El Lemon. Spanish is a very tricky language, so I'll try and type slowly so you all can understand. El goes before any english word that could be construed as masculine. On the other hand, La will be used for the feminine. Also, all nouns end in O or A. So, armed with this knowledge, let's give it a try. I'll have a beer: I'll have an el beero. The girl is beautiful: La girla is la beautifula My name is Randy: My namo is el Randy. See how it works, very simle really Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!
  4. QuoteYour canopy has a much better glide ratio then even the best trackers. Also, rears isn't always the best choice. Each design of canopy reacts differently with toggles and rears in terms of best glide for long spots. The only way to know for sure is to go play with both inputs and see where the "accuracy spot" goes with the different inputs. I jump a "7-cell" and I get the best long spot performance by using my toggles. You still have to take into account that if the load followed the green-light lemmings that if they dump right below the cloud layer, then the next group probably didn't get good seperation and might fall through the open canopies. Of course, someone jumping out with cloud cover, next to an ocean and not checking their spot in the first place...I wouldn't expect them to make any other good decisions in terms of deployments and canopy flight. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yeah, that pretty much sums it up
  5. clicky no worky..... but it's all a bunch of b.s. You don't breathe, you die. Simple really

  9. Wow, what an amazing show they put on last night. The second set was Darkside of the Moon in its entirety. Simply fantastic. Have some pics but can't figure out how to get them out of Adobe Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!
  10. QuoteIt is not a matter of wanting to, it's a matter of accepting the FACT that skydiving kills people in all kinds of random and unforseeable ways. That someone could very well be me. To do otherwise is to think "that won't happen to me." granted not the same as "knowing" you will die skydiving, but there is a thin line between that and deluding yourself about the facts. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MMMMMMM............OK........... Substitute the word skydiving with almost anything else you do in life that requires more than getting off of your couch. If I knew for absolutely positive that I would die skydiving, I would quit. Just like I would stop driving, riding my motorcycle, or any number of other relatively dangerous things that you do in life. It's all risk vs. reward, but if you are sure to die then where the hell is the reward? Hell I could fall off a ladder tomorrow and die, but if I knew it would kill me I would stay the hell off the ladder........duh! Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!
  11. Quoteif your answer is "no", you shouldn't be jumping. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That's absolutely rediculous. Just because I don't want to burn in doesn't mean I shouldn't be jumping.Or, if your doctor told you that if you jumped you would die because of medical reasons you're telling me that you would still jump? Give me a break guys, skydiving is a great sport, and a cool way of life but it's not the Holy Fucking Grail. Sometimes you people blow me away Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!
  12. I've done them twice without a hitch, no bruising or any unecessary roughness. Both of them were done under my old 120 Vengeance We did them from our Otter so of course the exit was different, but the key is to get open asap. I even PCA'd Ian off of me on the second one, THAT was cool as hell.
  13. Hmmmmm, never heard of it. Guess it doesn't come on the History Channel Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

  17. Quote I'd like to shank someone ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- please don't do that, it really hurts. Just so you know. That is all. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!
  18. O.K. The thread on the old school wrestling got me remembering fondly the bad old days of Sunday afternoon TV. Did any of you guys have Creature Feature? It was just old sci-fi and monster movies (ala godzilla, gammara, that big giant robot dude). Most of them were straight from Japan and dubbed over in English. The whole thing was Hosted by " Doctor Paul Bearer" I loved that shit and Doctor Paul Bearer was completely insane. Anybody? Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

  20. Holy crap!!!! We used to go watch wrestling in the armory on saturday nights. what about Kevin Sullivan or Sweet Brown Sugar, Did any of you guys have Gordon Solly (SP?) as the announcer? OHH YEAH DUST RHODES THE AMERICAN DREAM BABY!!!! He was my freakin' HERO! Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!
  21. another good way is to take all of your posessions to the pawn shop except for your car. Get a job packing on the dz, then find a cheap trailer for rent (on the DZ of course). If you have car payments, ditch it and get a bicycle. That way you won't have anything to worry about losing and you'll have lot's of jump tickets.
