nope cause that would have taken more than 3 days to get it Fly it like you stole it!

Tiff sweety ignore Ann on this. Most people have no idea how scary it is under canopy when you are underloading it to such a degree. I backed up on all but 1 of my jumps on a student canopy and it is really scary. I also know what it is like sitting on the ground cause you are jumping a 150 and back up in anything over 15, so while everyone else is jumping (includeding students) you are on a wind hold. Ann you don't like it when Richard says stuff like that to you please don't do the same thing. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Fly it like you stole it!

White with blackberry ribs Fly it like you stole it!

hehe...but hook loves her more than your dealer, hers will be there by friday. Fly it like you stole it!

You are loading your canopy the same as hooknswoop so I'm sure it's in the same ballpark as his numbers. Then again I'm sure he is much faster now since he has ~600 jumps on the canopy and that zapping was done when he had something like 10. Also the fact we now live in CO I'm sure makes a huge difference. Fly it like you stole it!

ohhh...man tits....can I touch them? Fly it like you stole it!

Here is a good tool for learning proper body position on the ground. Lay on the floor on your stomach, with you chin on the floor looking forward. Now shrug your shoulders to your ears. From here press your shoulders to the floor and de-arch (like a cat)/lift your butt off the ground. The tops of your feet (where the laces on your shoes are) shoulders and hands/arms should be the only thing on the floor. Your back and butt should be curved away from the ground about 2-3 inches, you will really need to tighten your lower abs for this. It should hurt, it should not be a comfortable position. Hold the position for 10 seconds, relax for 30, then go back for 10 then relax for 30 then hold for 20, relax. Keep thinking about your body and every muscle, until it is natural. The other thing people do is make their leg straps to tight, put your rig on and tighten everything normally. Now try to shrug your shoulders to your ears. If you can go as far with your rig on as without then you are fine, if you can't you need to loosen your legstraps till you can, otherwise you are not getting the flattest possible. Of course within reason, please I don't want anyone falling out of their rig. I have seen people with 20 jumps go from ok trackers to great trackers just by doing this. You know you are doing it right when everything gets quiet and feels smooth. That is cause you are no longer diving down but rather floating and moving horizontal. Fly it like you stole it!

What about if they forget something major like sending a cypres in for it's 4/8 year check or didn't put batteries in when they were due, but marked or didn't mark on the card that they did? Or assembled it with one of the above not done? Fly it like you stole it!

PM hooknswoop...he is off during the week and can probably go Fly it like you stole it!

Sorry, I still won't be allowed to snowboard or jump by then. Fly it like you stole it!

No they don't... Vector uses a meshless pilotchute, and mirage uses one with mesh. That is the reason for the desire of a mirage pilotchute I said nothing about the strength for that. here is the exact quote Fly it like you stole it!

If they wern't sitting on the floor I'd say that was the MT women's state record Fly it like you stole it!

HELL YEAH IT IS!! We declared an attempt beforehand and we surpassed the last record. Therefore it is a new DZ.com record. Too bad you decided not to jump with us, otherwise you could be one of the new record holders For the record Cyndi sat on the ground with me that day for 2 reasons. 1) her foot which she just had surgery was bothering her and 2) so I didn't hate every moment I was there and not drinking. So she chose to be a real friend to me, and you know what that was the best day I had there, did you know every other night I went to my tent crying cause all I could do was sit on the ground and walk around by myself. So anyone who gives her shit for being a friend to me.....(btw...I can count on 1 hand the people who came to talk to me during the day) has me to answer to. Fly it like you stole it!

you can order them from radio shack online....took me about 2 days to get tem. Fly it like you stole it!

*hugs* wingie....*hump* wingie's leg.... Just sharing the love. Kelli Loozer who hasn't jumped since 11/23 Fly it like you stole it!

It's all about legstrap placement..... every spot is the sweet spot in a skyvan.... Fly it like you stole it!

if he doesn't post until tomorrow afternoon it will be a really good story Fly it like you stole it!

PM hooknswoop, we have one of each and he has no problem getting them closed off and the reserve being tight and flat rather than bulgie like 90% of the ones that I have seen. As you can see from the picks my reserve top flap is nice and flat, and the tab doesn't bend at all to get into the slot. Fly it like you stole it!

Yep, vet said it just this week that there was no way she was 8...3 or 4 maybe, but no way 8....she is aging very well....and yes I'm blaming it on the 14'ers we have made her climb. pic is from the top of grays peak that we climbed last oct Fly it like you stole it!

Yep, that is foxy girl....took that in 2000 right before I went to couch freaks and she went to her auntie CC's. Fly it like you stole it!

Well I think they all need to be spayed and neutered...I know you love them, but it must be done. Actually it's the greatest show of love...Ginger never should have gotten pregnant. Please don't take offence, you know I love you and all your pets. Foxy also still misses her horse. Fly it like you stole it!

Does this count Fly it like you stole it!

he has it with him at the DZ, so I can't take a pic of it, here it is basically via paint shop. Only thing I couldn't do was put the tube stow on, but what it does is get wrapped around the hole part of the strait pin, then loop it around and over the other end of the pin. Fly it like you stole it!

I have both, but only wear my pants. As small as I am, I need the smallest amount of drag possible. The pants combined with a tight long sleeved-T I'm able to stay down with anyone...even have had several people head down with me in a sit. Fly it like you stole it!

1-1000) look for traffic...2-1000) make sure shoulders are shrugged 3-1000) get flatter...does every muscle hurt...good...I'm in the right body possition.... 4-1000)Then Look around some more...5-1000)damn those other people need to learn to track took at them dive...6-1000) wow they are pulling already do I need to? nope not yet 7-1000) look some more 8-1000) wave off, look around, pull. under a good canopy by ~2500...am I breaking off high...nope...that was from 4K break off. Every dive you can track better....every dive practice tracking....I see to many people who think they are hauling ass just cause they feel the speed..only problem they are going strait down and barely getting any horizontal separation. If you are doing it right, it should hurt. Fly it like you stole it!
