    Kite surf

    So today I purchase my new Kite LF assault 2006 with board and LF harness schedule to arrive next week, I got my 3M trainning kite to practice but I'm still not able to walk without a cane cuz my leg still hurts due to a bad swoop. sucks. Who else is into kite surfing? is a go alternative for skydive. http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html
  2. Yeah..... that arrogance cost them the cup against France 2 world cups ago, worst game I have ever seen, I think they learned their lesson, still my favorite. http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html
  3. Agree with you and the Czech's about the USA they may make history could be a surprise they had play very good and their soccer has advance in the past years. but they are missin that "no se que" that spicy element that makes soccer a great sport, you can only pick it up with football tradition, Italy has a lot, you know that kind of football you pick up playing all the time since you were a kid, really don't know how to explain myself better some of you may know what I'm talking about. http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html
  4. UNINTERRUPTED COVERAGE To ensure uninterrupted coverage of the matches, the networks will not air commercials during the two 45-minute halves, similar to the 1998 and 2002 FIFA World Cups and the 1999 and 2003 FIFA Women's World Cups. Commercials will be aired during the pre-match, halftime and post-match segments. Additionally, the telecasts will feature the continuous score and clock ESPN, ESPN2 and ABC Sports first introduced on American television during the 1994 FIFA World Cup. *** No commercials is the way to go, coming from another country people don't go to work just to watch certain games, all the games air real time no commercial. I just need to find the channel that will air all the games real time no commercials here in the US, I'll be happy for a month And obviously I think the final is gonna be Brazil and Italy or Brazil and Germany. I'm not brazilian but I will be one this next month :) Hey somebody teach me how to make a clicky! http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

  10. I had success with the peel exit in both formations a friend taughme something call super floater exit, wher you exit with the team going underneath the plane shooting the formation for below (takes great pictures) just need to get familiar with the position at exit to leg go on GO http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html
  11. Call them talk to Patty, I know the quality work they do so I don't mind waiting they have an excellent custumer service and prices are not bad at all, remember Tony runs the bigger suit factory in the US very high end and they sponsor a lot of teams I think is worth the wait, I will give them a call just to touch base they are professional enough to tell you you will be waiting a while. I'm also waiting on an order already paid for, just give them a call and have a little patience. http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html
  12. Really bruised leg, all my internal organs suffer a great deal but there is nothing life threatening or major internal injuries (good news) hair line fracture in my 8 rib does not hurt just all my inside, I was very lucky to abort that swoop when I did but then again put myself in that position, the impact had me passing out without reason 3 times after I came out the hospital, I had to go back to do catscan of my brain and internal organs just to make sure. I let you know about the insurance part. http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html
  13. I'll let you know in a couple weeks I had a hard landing due to a low turn sunday end up in the hospital, twice, long story so far I paid $23 meds and $200 I don't know for what I was on heavy meds when I did that, my insurance supposed to pick up the tab, let's see. http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html
  14. This is the difference between learning with a docil canopy on a lower wind loading than looking for a Katana higher W/L (see pictures attached) I'm not an agressive canopy pilot but this time I was deep in the corner and I though I could pull off a crosswind landing entirely my mistake and I didi walk out of it after going to ER twice they could not find anything broke but I keep passing out without reason due to the impact in my internal organs, is gonna take me 2 weeks two recover I'M ONE OF THE LUCKY ONES I know it could have been a lot worst, so think twice about your down sizing. This is just my leg I can't give you a picture of how my internal organs look like. http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html
  15. I dated a girl who crash into my truck after she ran a red light, funny history, good endind http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

  17. Shit I'm 32 I never did drugs counting pot!!! I'm out http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html
  18. I had a crossfire before I purchase the Nitron a 135 I was amazed on how short the recovery arc is It almost feels like a flare, The problem I see is the 1) you really don't need HMA lines unless you're flying professionaly or competing I had a cut away because of a tension knot and landed rear riser because of a tension knot. 2) The recovery arc is so short that I had to start my 180 degree turn at 300 ft that's pretty low. My Katana has plenty of dive and lighter front riser preassure also love the crossfire similar characteristics. I think a longer recovery arc is better because is safer. http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html
  19. My exact thoughts also if you were doing 300 jumps a year you would have over 600 jumps by now fairly current and decent amount of jumps if you are for the long term then there is no rush to down size so fast there is a lot of difference between a crossfire and an spectre, hell there is a lot of difference between a Nitron and a crossfire things happens fast at 1:4 wing loading, I'll sugeest to be a little more conservative and take your time to know the wing, conclusion do what ever you want. http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html
  20. To add to your post, It is possible to loose depreciate more than what is worth I know people here in Fl and California in 1980 that had to sell their property for under they bought it for, loosing money unlikely, but possible. The real state boom has to do with many factors as is explain in www.preconstructiondeals.com the more significant one is the baby boomers been in an age were they are retired or buying a house I think the younger ones are 45 yrs old. Real state value obviously depends on the location so far in FL they believe affordable housing under $500,000 that is tending to go up in value between 15 to 30% a year depending again on the location, anything pass the half million point is tending to gain little or not at all sometimes having to sell for less than expected but remember in pass 3 yrs the equity on this houses actually all property went up 30% a year so is not really a loss more than an adjustment in prices i.e I have a friend who bough her house for $ 145,000 5 yrs ago now valued at $650,000. I bought my first property 4 yrs ago then my second one making between 25% to 30% in a year, I just purchase in a hot area in West Palm Beach and I don't think I'll be making near as much or any more than 15% next year when it's done build. My believe is slowing down but real state is a better investment than the stock market It will really slow down when the generation behind the baby boomers that is 30 or so yrs old reach retirement age since the gap between generations are literally millions of people who will pass away leaving a smaller generation behind. http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html
  21. Very simple answer when you're a student they teach you with enfasis on keeping a big arch and "X" with your arms and legs, that just to keep you from spinning and or end up flying your back. Now to slow down your freefall you need to de-arch kinda like that flat position you see on those skydivers, the more you are aware of your center of gravity while flying the better, I seen the XL team turning points while knee flying. On big formation the bigger the formation get the slower the fall rate so to not end up lower than the formation sinking in you need to catch more air thus end up in a flater position. http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html
  22. 0:11:9 Most of them tracking and flocking dives http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html
  23. I feel the same way but the reason why I'm so paranoid about my equipment is not because I think a skydiver may steal it is because of the many not DZ people hangging around like tandems and their family or just people who like to observe I think the possibility of a skydiver stealing is slim not saying it has not happened but I think is more likely to be an outsider. Sorry for your loss of equipment I have a laptop and briefcase with camera equipment several lens etc thats got to be my worst nightmare http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html
  24. This time I'll be there last time I was at Palatka was running from the hurricane Wilma with my trailer hopefully the invitation to stay in the airport with my trailer still up I did not like the trailer park I stayed last time. So I'll see you guys there. Carlos http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html
  25.
