Good source for Pro-Track batteries? CR2330
dropoutdave replied to birdlike's topic in Gear and Rigging
Be careful when changing the batteries to keep an eye on the 2 gold springs. I recently changed my batteries, knowing that the screws were there but didn't eyeball them when I took the cover off, they must have stuck to the cover and come out even though I was being careful. The result was the pro-track doing absolutely nothing. I sent an email to L&B and they suggested checking the springs, they were both gone, doh! They were kind enough to send me out a new set FOC and a new set of batteries! Didn't really deserve their kindness after being dense like that! ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces...... -
Been planning on getting this printed up for a while now. Can apply to all subcategories of the sport too. ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces......

When it comes to BASE big wall tracking that feeling is only so good when you when the guy you jumped with just smoked you and won't stop rubbing it in. If numbers will help you fly farther and fast then so help me God, pass me the calculator!! ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces......

chest strap under canopy?
dropoutdave replied to rocketscientist's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Just out of curiosity, when a chest strap is loosened and the wing therefore flies flatter and more efficiently, could the same effect on the wing not be achieved by certain lines of the canopy being manufactured longer to make the wing flatter? Think I am missing something as I would imagine a canopy is set up to fly at its most efficient but if the outer lines were lengthened then it would make the wing flatter as would loosening the chest strap. Bloody physics. ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces...... -
Travelling To/From Moscow - Airline pops the reserve
dropoutdave replied to frost's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
You'll change your tune when you go on a jumping trip and you've got no rig. Happened to me and plenty of people I know. One guy was away for 2 weeks and British Airways were kind enough to give him his bags back to him at the airport when he was on his way home. ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces...... -
Amy Winehouse collapses: Should I give a f*ck?!
dropoutdave replied to RastaRicanAir's topic in The Bonfire
One of the main headlines on Yahoo yesterday was about some tennis player chick and how she was planning to wear shorts to the next Wimbledon instead of a skirt. Now THAT's newsworthy. That's seriously fucked up and should not be allowed. ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces...... -
Get the bike you like most, doesn't matter what engine size, you can kill yourself on any bike just as easy, all about how you ride it, they only go as fast as you make them. ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces......

Name the Countries that have Banned Off-shore Drilling
dropoutdave replied to Gawain's topic in Speakers Corner
I work on the rigs, am on one right now as it happens. I could go outside and take a picture of the nice shiny looking film on the waters surface to prove otherwise. When you fly over all the rigs in the chopper on the way out here, all of them have it around them running for miles. Don't believe what the oil companies say about how environmentally friendly they are. Saying that, we do have segregation bins to seperate our rubbish types for recycling. Damn hippies everywhere! ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces...... -
Don't worry, I have plenty more outrage in the pot for those people too. Anyone who harms a helpless being of any kind deserves the same, and a kick in the spuds. I'm not what you would say 'an eye for an eye....' just sometimes people deserve more than being banged up with a Playstation 3 and free meals for a few years. ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces......

I had a huuuuge argument with my mother earlier today.

The Royal Family are self sufficient from the money they bring in from tourism alone, and there's still plenty left after that. No issues with them. Not saying that I like or agree with them, but it doesn't cost us anything. ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces......

RE: Rapid Downsizing - Why do it?

Nope, Luigi rode a bike into the Grand Canyon too, with a wingsuit on. ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces...... -
What if people decided they didn't like the look of your face, should a law be passed so people didn't have to look at it? Get over it, there are bigger, more important things to worry about, look the other way and go about your day. ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces......

I can see a few more bike chases happening if this passes. I'd pull over if the cops pulled me to give me a speeding ticket but with the prospect of them taking my bike for doing 30mph over on an empty open road with no other traffic in site I'd be folding my number plate up (gotta love pivot kits ) and getting the hell out of there. ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces......

Here's an idea, call me crazy but if I was a firefighter and some little shit was having a go at me and putting myself and colleagues at risk, i'd take the big fuck off hose in my hands and wash their scummy asses down the street. Problem solved. Just a thought. ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces......

That's why I went Cookie, had the lid on my head within a week. There's no excuse to take that long to make a helmet. If they're that busy then they should take on more staff or better equipment and they'll make more money in the long run and keep their customers happy. ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces......
