  1. I was in the middle of examining a patient. We both just kinda looked at each other then decided outside was a beter place to be.
  2. http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/at00lqe6x3.php About 30-40 miles away....Hell of a ride.
  3. Unless Irene moves REALLY slowly, I think it should be gone in 2 weeks.
  4. You can start at one and finish at another. You just have to take your logbook with you. Your two closest DZs are going to be Skydive Orange and Skydive the Point. Both provide excellent AFF instruction. Orange is about an hour north of Richmond, and West Point is 45-60 minutes east of Richmond, depending on what side of town you live on. Although, I did hear at the boogie that they be moving in the near future, but can't confirm that.
  5. John, is there a cap on participants for this thing? I am coming with three others that Nolan knows about, maybe adding one more that has expressed interest. Thanks for getting this thing rolling.
  6. I always said this about my father if I was ever caught doing wrong. I would have been safer in jail.
  7. We set the cheap shit up to be shaken and kicked on sunset load. Only good use for it.
  8. The video I saw of a jumper using the technique was done with a 88 sqft cross-braced, elliptical canopy loaded at 2.3:1. Also the canopy is spinning/diving when the jumper undoes the twists. Note : I'm not saying that you should definitely do this if you're spinning/diving on a highly loaded x-braced elliptical canopy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FD2I8OqbS0 Awesome. So it does work there too. I'll have to remember that next time I get spinning like a banshee.
  9. Link please? Tho Amy in person is a good substitute! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150260147387872&set=at.14282927871.22571.528292871.750225298&type=1&ref=nf Benji's FB album with it in there.
  10. Does anyone have any video of someone using this on highly-loaded, spinning, diving x-braced thingies with any success?
  11. Which doesn't sound like much until you have a quartering downwind to a ZA course at near competition limits...then it seems like a crazy high speed train leaning hard and with no brakes! Also known as crashing with control.

  13. A personal attack in your 17th post ever. I wonder if thats some kind of record. Clearly you don't hang out in SC.
  14. nope hes a computer professional he only needs lowercase
  15. So you can't look at other stuff besides work....at work? Cry me a fucking river.
  16. Quote- but having seen my fair share of saline injected scrotums on the intrawebs. Quote You are a strange strange man...
  17. I had this problem a while back. Give B&H a call in new york and actually talk to a rep. They had them but it was hard to get off the site.
  18. Well, after watching Warren try to use a tandem hook knife to cut a shirt off after the farm comp.... 1) I have lost faith in tandem hook knives 2) I'm faster with my teeth.
  19. 100 years. But the standards will have probably changed by then anyways.
  20. Anything that takes me out of this shithole that I work makes me MUCH happier.
  21. Wasn't meaning that YOU were. It's a verification. Other jumpers sign the normal jumps to prove you did them. Skilled jumps I guess would ideally be witnessed, otherwise the instructor is taking your word for it. This means that someone COULD lie about them. I don;t think there would be an inquest into the instructor though.
