  1. I think its funny as shit. Joking about dying is hilarious as long as someone close to you doesnt hear you that doesn't "get it". (i.e. gf that doesnt dive, mom, dad, etc). If they hear you and feel bad about it, it makes you feel like shit for being an immature asshole punk. It busts me up every time though. --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...
  2. you roll it under the canopy while its on the ground? This seems like it would be slightly more squirrelly than rolling over, since when you roll over you can apply outward pressure to keep it tight, seems like it would be harder to do that if you were reaching over the canopy to roll under. Am I making sense? --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...

    lol I can't resist. Why don't you just make a log book cover yourself? --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...
  4. the wingloading wouldnt change, and I'm pretty sure any "formula" you would write to indicate density altitude change would have to be pretty damn complex, cause its almost suredly not linear. It would be like, WL(subscript 1) = regular WL WL(subscript 2) = regular WL with a multiplier added for density altitude difference Ah, ok, now we'll wait for practical advice that can really help you. blue skies!
  5. already two trees down on my property. It still looks like jumping weather this weekend though
  6. You have to understand my position as someone that doesnt BASE jump and is in the stage of gaining knowledge/info and when I see a language mistake/typo that counteracts how I thought things were I have to question it for my sake (whereas other experienced jumpers might just recognize it for a mistake I do not have the experience for this). Your knowledge is listened to with respect. I ringraziamenti 689. L'apprezzo. (I probably butchered that sorry ). --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...
  7. oh man im confused now. I thought valves helped flight characteristics, i.e. better glide angle, better flare (less mush from vent only). I thought VENTS helped with being able to have a steerable canopy quicker. Is that wrong? --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...
  8. you're not a human, youre a beautiful storybook princess??? --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...
  9. so I've wondered this for awhile, and seems like an appropriate time to ask, can you camp by the side of the river under the bridge or in the woods around? Or is that a No No? Its not that I'm a cheap bastard, but that I like camping and I think a BASE camping trip would be fun, albeit different from staying in a motel. --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...
  10. maybe a short video is in order of one of your swoops so I can see why it looks like your sinking it in when youre really swooping? Also why did you lengthen your toggles 6 inches? Whats the point of lengthening steering lines past the point where a deep riser input does not deflect the tail? I don't understand. --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...

    My fun P/T job

    that was 2 dollars, by the way. Get it right! --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...
  13. you can find a rational solution other than killing though. My personal opinion. --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...
  14. Obviously, "themonkey" I dont feel like what Iraq or Afghanistan is doing is correct, nor do I feel like what America is doing to handle the situation is correct. I think everyone involved is in the wrong. I don't have an answer, but I know any answer that ends up with innocent people dead is wrong. Period. That's my view on it, and while you can call me any name you want, laugh at the oddball's pacifist's view, it won't change what I believe. Killing human beings is wrong. And any leader that orders human beings to be killed is wrong and should be replaced with one that won't. --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...
  15. congrats man! Wow I'm a little envious. --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...
  16. [QUOTE]Your country does not stand for shit. The American people are easily led, but are hard to drive. I think thats a positive trait. The truth will come out.[/QUOTE] My childlike view that there were bad guys and good guys in war has slowly eroded since age 12. For awhile I realized there were no bad guys and good guys. Now I tend to think I am on the "side" of the bad guys. I feel ashamed for the lives our militaries actions have destroyed. I feel pathetic while driving and see these USA flags being flown everywhere. Don't they understand the carnage that Bush has brought on? good post tonto, its good to hear a non american perspective, thanks. --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...
  17. I was under the impression that if you have the equivalent of said license you can jump when you would need said license (I think this excludes demos and ratings and such though). --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...
  18. nice work, Paula --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...
  19. I think most DZs are storing their planes in protected hangars, and obviously not doing any loads edit- although this weekend is supposed to be beautiful in NC. --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...
  20. vibes, dude. --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...
  21. whuffo you get your C license? Why not just wait til the D (or not at all if you just want to be a fun jumper)? What's the point? --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...
  22. i feel bad to be a part of this country and the shit it stands for --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...
  23. isn't the odyssey a relatively new product? Companies tend to push their new products hard compared to their old reliables. Its a simple law of promotion, you advertise what is new and does not have as much word of mouth exposure. Subtly or overtly, most companies do it. --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...
  24. every FJC review I read pushes me that much closer to taking one once I'm ready to start BASE jumping. Thanks for taking the time to write it up. Sounds like a blast!
  25. how does a canopy even penetrate in 30 mph winds? --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...
