    Go for it, what could possibly go wrong? Setting your brakes with a head wind is not going get you any farther. Time under canopy doesn’t mean a thing if you don’t know how fast the canopy flies. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    All jumpers are exceptional skydivers with great personalities. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    That appears to be the same basic design as this one. I made it in 1997/98 and put about 1000 jumps on it packed in a Javelin. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    I guess you missed it, Sparky. It was a joke, referring to your being 'schooled' on forum etiquette. It's depressing to have to explain it. (OP sez to Sparky:) Please keep the thread on topic, which is what to do when low ------------------------------------------------------------ (Nova sez:) That'll learn you, Sparky! No I didn’t miss it but I think you did. This the “Safety and Training” forum and by saying something about the canopy he is flying there was a chance he would accept it as training and be a little bit safer. But he was having none of it.

    That'll learn you, Sparky! It’s not me we are try’n “learn”. I did my dumb shit years ago and was lucky enough to survive. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Not quite. I save his life by not throwing him out. Its a long story, I'll tell you over a glass of Gray Goose some time. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    It is really time for someone to go dig up Mike Mullins' account of the time someone mangled the tail of his KingAir. I was in the door of this King Air when it turned to shit and was unable to get out. One half of one G and you can't get out of a chair.

    Um, actually I did a search for it and missed it somehow. Sorry to ruin your day, but the other thread seems to have degenerated into a pissing match over secret lists, and conspiracies between the "evil" PIA and "spineless" USPA. I wish people at dramazone would grow the fuck up. Tom, I don't think you will see that in our lifetime. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    He gave you some damn good advice, get rig of the canopy you are jumping. No matter what you think you are not good enough to handle it if things turn to shit. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Sparky, you misspelled "skillz". Hey, when they get enough scar tissue they may smarten up, same as we did. Dude. Have you seen Sparky up close... in good light? Given the amount of scar tissue he's got, he must be real smart! And don't you forget it! I had a lot of fun getting in this shape. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Your new bride will take care of that problem. Good luck starting you new life.

    The old Strato Cloud had a different way to accomplish the same thing. They used a secondary free brake line with a cat’s eye in the end that was used to “set” the brakes. When the brakes were released this line trailed behind the jumper. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    You didn’t mention why you quit for 7 months, does it have anything to with landing a parachute? Just my opinion but a really smart thing would be to buy a 150 and jump it until you can’t get anything more out of it. If you friends rag you for jumping a “sled” ask if you can be on their ash dive. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    "Hog Flop" was the first form of 4 way competion at the World Meet. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Three way scrambles with four people. Osmosis dive. First point #1 is out, second point #2 is out, third point #3 is out, and fourth point #4 is out. Make the transition a clean break and simple. Haven’t seen it done in a long time but it sure can be fun. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Gary, Let me introduce you to the “entitlement generation”. They are “entitled” to make bad decisions anytime they feel like it. They are “entitled” to make the same mistakes others have made in the past. They are “entitled” to ignore sound advice given by someone who has been there, done that and has the T-shirt. When something goes wrong they are “entitled” to blame someone/something else for their fuck ups. They are “entitled” to demand that there be some electronic gismo available to pull their head out of their ass when their “mad skills” fail them. The world has changed my friend and you are looking at the future leaders of skydiving and society as a whole. Ain’t it grand? Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    And that is the reason they keep turning out shit. For $300 you should not have to "take your chances." It doesn't take any more time or effort to do it right then it does to screw it up. Do you accept this lack of quality in other aspects of your life? Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    I think I may have told you this when I saw you at Perris. I made my first demo with your brother Paul onto a small beach at Lake Perris. We drank Champagne out of his leg after we landed. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Ain't THAT the truth! In the 90's I was getting 3 or 4 times what I am now for a 4man 3day event...6 to 9 performances and a night pyro show. Dunno if we were overpaid then or underpaid now...probably a little of both. Do they really pay you to skydive? Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
