Not swooping and bitching online - ARMSTRONG'ing

Quitting the sport and STILL talking trash - TWNSND'ing

I think you need a "loudener"

It is pretty much all the same but the name will change when ever Jim slaton decides to get creative and change it up... If you want more info on this type of sport go to canopy piloting . com.

OMG!!! You should never get on an airplane again! It might be unsafe! Do you seriously have nothing better to talk about? hahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa hahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa Tell em, JP!!! Tell em!!!

You know I wouldn't let you down baby! You just have to love DAft Punk (brings back the memories). A lot of their stuff is simple and repetitive, but compare it to DJ Icey and daft punk sounds like a whole orchestra. Don't get me wrong I like Icey, but some of his stuff is a little to minimalistic for me.

Even older school!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=339ixMtHrVk

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPBmXEO3yUU The two other you tube clips are awesome. Those girls really put some effort and work into what they did. The link above is classic Daft Punk. A lot of people seem to talk shit about where Daft Punk get their samples but today everything is sampled from everything else. Compare the two following songs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vp-is6S_b_g http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdaHCLlBkWU I'm bringing it SUPER old school tonight!

Made me want to buy a Nissan... Not really.

CAI all the way. I got about 11 HP to the wheels on my CAI. 07 Mazda 3

General thoughts on the velo: I have seen a lot of people swooping on a velo who have no business jumping one. IMHO the velo is a rather complicated canopy to learn. I started jumping CB canopies with a FX 104 and then to a VX 98. I went to a velo 103 from the VX and hated it!!!! It took me a good couple of hundred jumps to learn a few intracacies of the velo. Even now I do not feel that I know all that the the canopy has to offer. If I were to recomend a good first CB canopy I would tell people to go back a notch and really freakin learn the katana. I know PD is putting out the new VELO (named Grant because of my awesome abilities ), but you should not overlook the capabilities of the katana or original velo. If you are going to be doing working jumps then the new velo may not be the best canopy for you. I have used the original velo as a working canopy for many applications to include AFFI, Camera, and AFFI evaluator. If I were to do it all over again I would choose a katana for a working canopy, but if you are only swooping and doing hop and pops then maybe the new velo would be ideal for you from what I have seen. PD's 3ooLBS hma does not last an exhorbanent amount of time, but if you are going to be flying on the cutting edge then you need to be ready to maintain your wing with the most stringent of standards. From what I have seen the new Velo is going to be a monster, and is going to be a complimentary answer to the JVX. The JVX is not a bad canopy. I have a few jumps under one, but you really need to load it up and the sail material is a bit bulkier. This will allow you to upsize your rig (upsizing your rig is not a bad thing... You can fly a bigger reserve and have a better resale value). If you really want a good opinion about the JVX then you need to talk to Paul Russow. He is called "proswooper" here online. Not only is he a good dude, but he is probably the most experienced dude on the JVX in the US. I am proud to call Paul an aquantance of mine. Conversly, the velo likes a little lesser of a wing loading (actually wing loading is a shitty comparison of one wing to another, as it comes down to the way manufacturers measure their wings. A less nebulous quantifying factor such as a lift over drag ratio would be better to compare different wings) so you can fly a bigger wing and still get a great shut down. A bigger wing will give you better distance and accuracy as long as it is flown correctly. These are just my thoughts on the cool canopies out there. If yu really want some good info then you need to ask the pro's like Ian, Stu, or Paul. Theses are good dudes, and they will not steer you wrong. Grant S. Adams

It is called the "Grant"... They saw my high performance capabilities and were so amazed that they decided to name the canopy after me! hahaha

Cal City set the bar for fun jumping. I have never been to another DZ like it. I am thankfull for all of the fond memories. I will have to drink a beer for the place and the people tonight. My heart is heavy as if a distant friend has gone in.

The weather should be nice on Friday. Please be carefull with low turns if you jump here. Mile Hi is where you want to jump. It is in longmont Co., but call them before you drive out. I am sure they will be operating but call first anyways. If you are there on Saturday maybe we will catch up. Grant

allright dude, put down the crack pipe and think about how assanine you sound. If you want to learn how to swoop then get coaching from a professional like Stu. If you want to die then listen to people here on DZ.com. The choice is years.

Freaking sweet! My thread is back! "No your Honor, I have never taken performance enhancing drugs in my life."

I guess I should put some numbers in my sig line. I am beginning to feel SOOOOO in-addequite with out gloating to the rest of the douches on teh internet on how accomplished in the realm of skydiving I am... PQDR #7, I like BV posts #5, BV puts awesome pics to caption #1, AFFI-07, D-22643, B-22151, SCS-whatever, SCR-whatever, Pro swooper, Pro rating, Senior Rigger, SLI, IADI, PTWOBI, SELPPL,

Return of the money shot!

Cannulas and masks would not work for skydiving as just when you approach the altitude in which O2 is needed, you put on your helmet. I call bullshit on that dude. In the Air Force we use nasal canulas underhelmets on every jump to altitude in colorado. We did a lot of those. So you are wrong and it can be done very easily.

Come on now Mark... Not everyone is the internet genious that you are!

Putting the JVX in the corner can kill you. It does not dive out as much after a turn as the velocity does but if you get down to it nothing really does. I know the canopy he is talking about and making JVX comparrisons to a velo is not the right thing to do. They are different canopies. Comparring the JVX to a VX is more like it. The JVX is very powerfull on the rears and more heavy on the fronts. Those who have been on velo's for quite a long time will find that they have to change their technique to get the most out of the jvx. That is all.

Hooray for chilli dogs! hahahaaaa That is awesome!

Stu does have some interesting packing techniques. I packed for him once and he complained that the opening was just to good.

Bitchin Pics. I make this shit look good! http://chrisbazil.smugmug.com/gallery/3415842#191422562 http://chrisbazil.smugmug.com/gallery/3415842#191422933 http://chrisbazil.smugmug.com/gallery/3415842#191423383 http://chrisbazil.smugmug.com/gallery/3415842#191423855 http://chrisbazil.smugmug.com/gallery/3415842#191424308 In all actuallity, I cannot believe that shit even worked. There is nothing like pulling freestyle tricks out of your ass for competition that you have never done before.
