I did as a student when it didn't matter how much I snugged all the straps down the rig was just WAY to large for me and would slip off in freefall. Fly it like you stole it!

I tried that a few months ago and no one submitted any recipies. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=412930#412930 Fly it like you stole it!

Our high today was 100, but with only 16% humidity it really wasn't that bad. Fly it like you stole it!

One of the few things I miss about TX. Eating Taco Cabana after drinking all night and getting the munchies and then in the morning jack in the box. Fly it like you stole it!

I have an ab killer that doesn't require a crunch. It actually targets the smaller stabilizing muscles of the upper abs, lower abs, and lower back. It's from Yoga and it's called a modified plank pose. The plank pose is like the up position of a push up, on toes and hands, flat back. The modified pose is hold the body in the same position, but instead of on your hands your arms are bent and you are resting on your elbows/forearms. To hold the pose right just look at the floor between your hands it will prevent you from arching or curling your back, you want it perfectly strait. After 60 seconds your abs will be screaming. I usually do 6 30 second reps, but Derek does 60 second reps. Found a webpage with a better discription. http://www.tinajuanfitness.info/exercises/proneforearmsupport.html Fly it like you stole it!

I love southwest, they are always cracking jokes. It may not be the most comfortable plane out there, but it sure is entertaining. Fly it like you stole it!

Tell the girlfriend biting back is allowed. Fly it like you stole it!

It is my job to inspect the rock to determine if it is choss or climbable. It's my job to place my pro or inspect the bolts before clipping in. If I fall and my pro zippers causing me to ground fall, I have no one to blame but myself. Anyway I've asked the questions, been kicked off the DZ, found a new DZ, things are better but the plane rarely flies, try a new DZ back to questionable maintenance, find another DZ hard to get on loads, try the out of state thing but can't afford to fly to Eloy or Perris Valley that often, hang it up and go rock climbing since I'm out of DZs. *shrug* Good for you on taking care of that plane and caring about your jumpers and staff. If I'm ever in VA and haven't sold my rig I'll be sure to stop by. Fly it like you stole it!

Well when I 1st got my rig it didn't fit right over the shoulders after a month I called them and told them it was painful to wear. I sent them some picutures of me in the rig and after looking at them they had me send in the rig. 2 weeks to the day I sent it in I had it back completely fixed with no charge to me. Fly it like you stole it!

It was a joke. I quit skydiving because there was no way of knowing if things such as airplane maintenance is being done. I'm willing to take many risks, and know the dangers, but that is one risk that is not worth taking. I mean look at DiverDrivers webpage and tell me that there isn't a problem.

Actually I'm thinking more unisys vs hip rings only (which you can still get). Fly it like you stole it!

Make a list of what you want to do, and what kind of enviornment you want to/can tolerate to work in. (ie. couldn't sit behind a desk for 10 hours strait) Then add in what kind of training you currently have and if on the job training will be needed what entry level possition you are willing to take to get to the kind of job you want. At my job what I see most is people who want to a lead tech/engineer possition, but don't have the training or experience for it yet refuse to be an entry level tech because they believe it's below them. Sometimes you have to take one step back to get ahead 3 steps. Kids strait out of college seem to be the worst about it, probably cause of that spanking new deploma or something.

Checking for your pilot cute when wearing a backpack. That one catches me off guard every once in awhile. Fly it like you stole it!

I heard he lives in Boulder now. Fly it like you stole it!

And the chance of getting injured is much lower than other sports, what fun is that. Fly it like you stole it!

Well I bought my rig the same year as Cyndi bought hers (4 months apart) and uni-sys was already out. So it might have changed in the last year, but as of last December I have yet to see someone with the unisys legstrap set up with out the chest rings. If someone does have that set up please holler. I actually don't think there would be a problem if it was just the leg strap setup without the chest rings since the MLW wouldn't bend that far. On the other hand add in cut in latterals with chest rings and you really have a rig that could float on you. Fly it like you stole it!

Don't forget the camp of I'm in a monogamous relationship but have no plans to ever get married. Trust me, even if you aren't married it's still cheating if you sleep with someone else. Fly it like you stole it!

I was talking about the adventure racing silly. Fly it like you stole it!

Derek and I are going to try to get on it. I just hope the crap we currently do doesn't disqualify us. Fly it like you stole it!

I think the issue is that rigs are measured in a standing possition. When you sit down your spine could be arched or curved which will change how the rig fits. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1117289#1117289 If you look at the pics in this post, the girls back is arched and the hip rings have moved back to the small of her back. Fly it like you stole it!

best color scheme out there. Fly it like you stole it!

does it have hip and chest rings? Nevermind found an old post where you posted your rig and it does have chest rings. OK, so I have a theory going that involves fully articulated rigs although so far it's really obvious with the Mirage. So mind you this is a theory that is coming together threw pictures that I've seen. Ok, so I have a Mirage with just hip rings and do not have an issue. (lateral.jpg) The other picture is my friend Cyndi in her Mirage with full articulation (newbaby.jpg). So as you can see my both side of my legstraps connect to the hip ring and since I don't have chest rings there is very littl movement in any direction. Now on the rigs with chest rings you can see that they legstraps connect to another piece of webbing then connect to the hip rings. I think his combined with the chest rings allow the leg straps to "shift" back changing the geometry of the rig allowing it to pull back farther than if it had just hip rings. This may just be an issue for people with a certain body type I'm not sure, but remember that girl in Skydiving in the belly band ad that was having the same problem. So I'm not bashing Mirage, I have one and love it, and it's just a theory and I could be wrong. Fly it like you stole it!

Backpacking through the mountains of Romania... Fly it like you stole it!

I don't wear one when I'm doing sports such as skydiving, snowboarding, rock climbing, mountain biking, ect for the same reason I don't wear rings when doing those activites. If I should get hurt it would have to be cut off and it can be a snag hazard. The rest of the time I always wear a watch, I go to so many meetings at work I need to know what time it is so I know if it's time to haul ass to the next meeting or not. Fly it like you stole it!
