Yosemite Sam That seemed more like roid rage to me. __________________________________________________ I started skydiving for the money and the chicks. Oh, wait.

Not Calvin! Thats what children are like when they're young and -not- on Ritalin. __________________________________________________ I started skydiving for the money and the chicks. Oh, wait.

The moon does in fact rotate on its axis, it just rotates at the same rate at which it revolves around the Earth. Because of this, the same side is always facing the Earth. A question for those who suggest we photograph the landing area with Hubble: Why would you believe that photo any more than the thousands of other photos taken? Aside from this, I have read that things like an American flag or the lunar lander are far too small to be seen by Hubble from this distance. __________________________________________________ I started skydiving for the money and the chicks.

So, is there anything at all on that site that hasn't been debunked? I personally can't believe that Fox special ever got on the air. __________________________________________________ I started skydiving for the money and the chicks. Oh, wait.

Here's my suggestion, though I'm not quite sure how much reading this can help. I kind of need to show in person. When the canopy is ready to be put in the bag, reach your left hand underneath the end closest to the bag. On the bottom side with your hand, have your thumb grabbing the left side of the rolled tail, and your index finger grabbing the right side of the rolled tail. This makes sure it won't come unrolled.Put your right hand on top where the first fold is going to be made, and bring your left hand on top of that. (This might be the fold you are used to be doing second - I find it easier to do it first.) Now, you can hold the very top of the canopy, the part where the bridle attaches, with your thumb, and hold the two parts of the tail together with your fingers- This lets you hold the entire thing together with one hand, while you bring the bag around it with the other. Put the bag on the left side of the canopy first, then when its in, grab the right side of the canopy and squeeze that in by pushing against the side that is already in the bag. Straighten it out, then grab the base of the canopy (by the lines) and tuck that in the center. __________________________________________________ I started skydiving for the money and the chicks.

I have two ideas for the one I want... Cutaway: FUCK NO! Reserve: FUCK YEA! Or, to be more well-mannered, Cutaway: No thank you! Reserve: Thank you! __________________________________________________ I started skydiving for the money and the chicks. Oh, wait.

I'm pretty sure for an elliptical canopy you'd need to have the line lengths. __________________________________________________ I started skydiving for the money and the chicks. Oh, wait.

That's what I always thought it came from, the old Batman fight scenes. BIFF! BAM! POW! SMACK! __________________________________________________ I started skydiving for the money and the chicks. Oh, wait.

Agreed, definitely get supervised doing it, but its a good thing to learn to be able to do yourself. __________________________________________________ I started skydiving for the money and the chicks. Oh, wait.

Ironically, it still starts out saying "Guardian angels need no maintenance..." I really hope they get this worked out fast. I'd love to see some competition in this market. __________________________________________________ I started skydiving for the money and the chicks. Oh, wait.

I don't think it matters to Nader at all. He can't expect to win, and hes running as an independent so its not like he's trying to get federal funds for his party like he was in 2000. All he cares about is airtime for getting his message out. __________________________________________________ I started skydiving for the money and the chicks. Oh, wait.

She could be looking for attention, or she could have been looking to make some money off of this through book deals and the like. __________________________________________________ I started skydiving for the money and the chicks. Oh, wait.

I'm all for having objective analysis of every source, but did you have any specific disagreements with Snopes about this event? It sounded very resonable and logically backed up to me. __________________________________________________ I started skydiving for the money and the chicks. Oh, wait.

For you people who have said this has happened to you, was it due to leaving it next to a heat source or hot area (like a hot attic or trunk)? Or was it just very new and packed for too long? __________________________________________________ I started skydiving for the money and the chicks. Oh, wait.

It cuts down on drag, allowing you to go foreward faster and further, which is especially helpful when trying to go into winds. It also eliminates that annoying flapping noise. __________________________________________________ I started skydiving for the money and the chicks. Oh, wait.

Too bad for me they're all illegal in my home state of New Jersey anyway. Anyone know a way around that? __________________________________________________ I started skydiving for the money and the chicks. Oh, wait.

Sorry for going offtopic, but PD can't build it if its airlocked? Then who makes the Vengeance? __________________________________________________ I started skydiving for the money and the chicks. Oh, wait.

I'm on the same boat: Small DZ, I'm the only one who has started actively packing for money. I've found its good to take the drug dealer approach.... Fist one's free! __________________________________________________ I started skydiving for the money and the chicks. Oh, wait.

I know this isn't in every case, but the first main you purchase is not normally the first canopy you fly - - who knows how many jumps the average student has before they buy their own 170? Not to mention I think most first rig purchases are used. __________________________________________________ I started skydiving for the money and the chicks. Oh, wait.

Here's the followup to my solution: In the talkback forum, post the attached picture to remind everyone to keep things in perspective: __________________________________________________ I started skydiving for the money and the chicks. Oh, wait.

My two bits: Talkback could use: 1. Clearer rules as to what is allowed: From what was labeled, it was for "anything non-skydiving related" to be discussed, and now there are complaints that there is too much non-skydiving related stuff discussed? If its political debate you don't want, have rules against that. 2. Perhaps an instant ban for starting "Why did my thread get deleted" threads? 3. People need to realize that old saying about arguing on the internet. . . __________________________________________________ I started skydiving for the money and the chicks. Oh, wait.

Is there a reason this isn't linked to anywhere I can find on this site, or am I just missing it? __________________________________________________ I started skydiving for the money and the chicks. Oh, wait.

I once had a 4 way leave with grips that got a little screwy, we all were on our backs in a round, then one guy flips himself and pulled the whole group back on their bellies. That was pretty cool. __________________________________________________ I started skydiving for the money and the chicks. Oh, wait.

Landed a Mr. Bill without releasing? I've searched but can't find anything on it. __________________________________________________ I started skydiving for the money and the chicks. Oh, wait.
