  1. Not sure why they recommended that. Did it come from the P3 document? I didnt read it. I have never been told to do that. I wont say that there is "one perfect" body position for every single jumper. What I would recommend to anyone is to get involved in skills camps. The only way, in my opinion, to know what works best for you is to have experienced bigway flat trackers actually look at your tracks and then your specific track can be tweaked to help you get the best out of it. What works best for me is to have my arms in tight and pushing down with them and to cup a lot of air with my mid section by pushing my ass up in the air. And having my feet turned out to use the surface area of my booties to their full effect. Dom
  2. LOL!!! Does it say where the jump was and who the organizer was? Dom
  3. BTW, I am not suggesting that this will happen. I am sharing my experience with you on the subject. Dom
  4. You sir, are a statistic, you just dont know it yet. If you dont get that, how about "Deadman walking"? I only hope you make it long enough to one day realize how much you dont know. I also really like in the other thread how you never addressed that fact that while you are picking an choosing what Brian said. You are clearly going against his wing loading recommendations. If you would follow his recommendations, you never would have been in the situation in the first place. Dom
  5. "does his best cat whistle" Thank you. It has been. Dom
  6. Sorry. i saw johns post and thought she had directed that at him. Really sorry Holly Dom
  7. Wow, you say that to a guy with 30 years in the sport? Elsinore must be proud to have you. I bet you John is around way after your gone. Dom
  8. Thats fine, just wanted to point out that if people want to be taken seriously, then treat the site seriously is all. If folks are here to just be in bonfire and talk shit all day that is fine. You dont see people getting beat up in Bonfire for a wacky profile, only when they step into the other forums do they run into trouble. Another thing that isnt thought about much, is that the media frequently comes to this website to get information for stories. Some people take this sport very seriously and in fact it is there life. So when someone acts like a fool in the serious forums it hurts them and they sport that is their life. It hard enough to get the media to get the stories right with out having some jackass make improper comments and giving out the complete wrong information that the media can run with. Dom
  9. A lot of people have been on this site for a long time and over the years there have been many that have started a lot of shit and they didnt have profiles filled out or had really crazy ones People see that and start thinking... uh oh, here it comes again. One poster suggested that HH should have changed the slogan to "The single best source for BS" Well by filling out profiles that are not accurate. Isnt that leading into the BS aspect of things? Fill out the information correctly and then people wont think you or anyone else is full of BS Not saying that you are at all. Just looking at the other side of the coin. Dom
  10. Here John. This is what he means by 420 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/420_(cannabis_culture) Dom
  11. nobody has bought a new Infinity since Oct??? Post em. I havent seen a pretty rig since I sold my last one. Dom
  12. When you talk to Art, tell him I said hello. Now I am scared of what he will tell you to do!!!!! Dont believe anything that Jean says about me. Dom
  13. Thanks Kelly. Open up a gear store in Manhattan and let me run it. lol Dom
  14. Dont have a copy. is it really ugly? Dom
  15. You have gotten a lot of good reasons why you shouldnt barrel roll at break off. Your profile says you jump at Elsinore. Speak to Melanie and Hammo and Steve or Mark. I am sure they will agree that this is not the best thing for you to be doing while tracking away from a formation. Sometimes it is hard to take advice from the internet. You have some world class RW and free fliers at your DZ and right down the road at Perris. Speak to your instructors, at least I assume you respect them and what they have to say. Dom
  16. Barrel rolling or going to your back is not a very good idea either. A barrel roll is not going to give you time to clearly see anything and going to your back is not going to help you maintain a flat track and is not a good idea either. My biggest suggestion to you would be to get to a skills camp before you hurt yourself or someone else. I dont say this to try to attack you, but the things you are saying that you did and "should" have done are not the smartest choices. Please carefully read this thread and take the advice that has already been given about how to look around and stay aware. I used to think that I was a really good tracker until I jumped with people that could track really good, then had to learn all over again. It took until my 1st 100 way and seeing a guy my height and abuot 15 or 20 pounds heavier then me float up on me and scoot out like there was no tomorrow. Please speak to Sally Hathaway or Oren at Zhills about your tracking habits. They will must surely give you the help that you need. Dom
  17. Please please please, never do that again! Yikes Dom

    hmmm...

    Not sure if they are, but the guy I sent you was on here asking for info and was in the same thread that the pic came from. Dom
  19. All they need to verify your info is your billing zip code and the 3 digit code on the back of the card. When they run that through their point of sale system it should be just fine. Anymore info is asking for to much. Dom
  20. I thought you loved the man. Gia dont ruin your marriage so quickly!!! Dom
