  1. -uhm, loose 40lbs!? -stay up later than 11:00PM? -drink more than 3 beers? i could go on and on with that list, but i'm trying to be nice as usual.. 11:00 PM is kind of late, isn't it? "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"
  2. Looks like that dude got some Jamaican. "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"
  3. Aren't the rest of the screaming chickens in Afg? Why aren't you? "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"
  4. 33 jumps and already giving advise. I hope if you are opening that high you are exiting right before the tandems. To the OP. There are many things you can do to increase safety, opening high will not necessarily make it safer but in general altitude is your friend. A bigger canopy can be safer too. Basically this sport is as safe as you make it but there are things you have no control over that can kill you. Safety day is coming up in March. maybe this is a good subject to talk about. In the meantime I would suggest talking with your instructors and remember that you can get good advise here - you also get a lot of idiots.
  5. Is that Sunshine with you? "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"
  6. Holy Cow! I can't believe how much car repairs cost. I guess there are some benifits to doing your own work, of course you don't got nobody to bitch at if it is not done right. "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"
  7. Were you watching Seinfield the other day? That episode was on, funny as crap much like some of these responses. "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"
  8. We have a King Air. It is definitely warmer than Chicago. Oh yeah, I'm a nice guy, ask around. "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"
  9. No, no, no, come to Alabama. You can stay with me.
  10. Yes but unless you involve a cannon, a billboard covered in velcro, a fuzzy suit, and possibly a giant bowl of jello you'll probably be ok. If I were you I's start playing around with an irrational particle accelerator, a liquid lunch, and a pair of rubber bands. "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"
  11. I haven't seen anyone mention tapered versus non tapered. I have a Flight Concepts Sentry and a Safire 2. (The sentry is my avatar.) I can barely move the front riser on my Sentry and it has little effect. The Safire however,
  12. The things you learn on this site. "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"
  13. I love all these opinions of "safe" and "insane" or "crazy" "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"
  14. DAMN. I'm gonna have to double my efforts. Thats what I'm thinking. "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"
  15. I have a 92 Javelin. Send it to sunpath and they will do the "riser cover mod" They trim the flap and put a new stiffener in it. It stays closed now. They also put new velcro on my main flap and a new reserve flap. They both stay closed now too. Like someone else said, this is not a good rig for freeflying. "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"
  16. All this talk about going fast has my heart racing. I was pushing on Dave's button all week last week and he never went off on me. Good job Dave.
  17. I thought it was him. "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"
  18. An aff student at the dz Saturday was telling me about doing 190 on a motorcycle - and there was a guy going faster than him. "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"
  19. Blah, blah, blah. I was doing 40 over on the way back from lunch, 90 in a 50. Yet here I am unscathed, no ticket, no wreck. (Knock on wood / head.) "Don't! Get! Eliminated!"
