My first rig had a bungee and I used it till it wore out. The only thing I ever worried about with it was getting out at 1500 ft in an aircraft emergency, bungees usually need about 85 mph to inflate I believe, so I guess it would be safe to assume that it would work if the planes forward speed was adeqaute?-lol You dont have to worry about the bungee breaking or anything because if it does it will then function as a standard pilot chute, same with the kill line...... Now on my new gear I have a monkey fist collapsable with the kill line thats colored. Only prob I've had with that is that the part of the kill line that is colored goes PAST the window in the bridle when I cock it, so I recolored it with a marker, but sometimes it still goes past :) Just make sure you cock it and recheck it throughout your pack job. Thay way when you get a pin check in the plane, and someone sees its white cause you didnt feel like coloring it again and they say "your pilot chutes not cocked" you just know that it is becausae you were paying attention to it while you packed it right? -lol I've heard of a way to adjust the kill line, or do something I cant remember to fix it, but I cant remember what it is, and it works like it is......... I would buy 10 more of em!-lol The manufacturer of your canopy may have information on the effects of different kinds of pilot chutes, I know mine does. Usually the effects of pilot chute changes are noticed more with higher wing loadings etc, but it always makes intersting reading?-lol Ask your rigger! The only dumb question is one not asked! blues http://www.15meu.usmc.mil/

I think it sounds like a great idea - everyone should be invited, noone excluded, unless you decide to exclude yourself, then so be it, cant make everyone happy. WE ARE ALL JUST SKYDIVERS! That doesnt mean we cant get together and find another good excuse to drink! DOWN WITH THE NEGATIVE! Everybodys always clique this, clique that, - the solution? Fact is call it what you want but some people become better friends with some then others, leading certain others to point fingers saying -oooh look! I wanna be cool like you but I cant, so your a clique or click, or freakin klik cliking chikin chikity china, get over it, have phun, relax, meditate, do yoga, drink beer, have sex, eat chinese food and read your fortune cookie and add "in bed" at the end of it - IF YOUR worried about clicks (however you spell it), maybe YOUR the one with the problem - all we wanna do is have phun, and take some spelling classes. STOP WORRYING ABOUT THINGS BEYOND YOUR CONTROL .02 USD - thats all i got

HI FOLKS! Its called scotts grip! I borrowed one from a friend in Georgia and have used em a few time here in texas and I think that they are an awesome idea!! They are alot lighter than weights, so if ya wanna always be sure to have a weight they are not so heavy as shot bags at the bottom of your gear bag next to that beer bottle............@. I dont think that packing with a weight makes you a crappy packer

Everyone beware! Watch out! Dont say a word! I cant ignore this anymore, the flame wars - lame ass shit Its seems alot of folks around here are getting very paranoid, even delusional, so if you think I'm talking about you, I probably am. And be careful for god sakes! Those people that keep following you around just might really be the super secret spy agents that you thought they were, they are everywhere. You cant escape, they know where you live. They have put super secret cookies on your computer that will tell them how many times a day you used the bathroom. Beware! The spaceships are coming!!! To probe your big asses. Maybe Sangiro should open a new forum, where paranoid assholes and people with chips on their shoulder because they didnt get picked to play kickball when they were kids can post all their evil parnoia schemes for world domination. But be careful you dont get trapped! Sucked into the vortex. Give me a fucking break people. Why don't sheep shrink when it rains? Can vegetarians eat animal crackers?

- KEWL! I thought it was a little zippier thqaan normal this morning- congrats sangiro! Why don't sheep shrink when it rains? Can vegetarians eat animal crackers?

Hey it works! Phree s pretty much right on about the midis, annoying, but then again I'm a designer and a skydiver who has seen midis (particularly "jump") used and abused. But the genearal public I think still gets a kick out of them as long as it doesnt effect thier surfing speed. I do recommend either not looping it so much (they prolly wont stay on the page that long anyway) or giving the user and option to stop it ......isnt that what the volume knob is for tho? You'd be surprised. I do recommend downloading the free 30 day fully functional flash 5 evaluation at Macromedia.com - even if you dont continue to use it you'll probably pick up some great tricks that can be applied in your swish work. Like how to fade out the sound loops, use movie clips to simplify things, and how not to make the entire movie loop over and over until the getUrl actionscript kicks in. As well as smoothing out the motion tweens and adding something besides text effects. Like preloaders Flash is fun (one I'm working on now is right here! ) Other awesome websites for flash, and design in General include: Flashkit.com you'll see me on the boards under the same username from time to time. Webmonkey - great for all those little things Frames are kind of annoying too, prolly just a personal preference but at least they dont have 10000 scrollbars. Just make sure you have a page available for the framatically challenged. About the graphics / pictures I dunno if they came from anywhere else, but so long as you have permission to use them I see no problem with it, the general public (read:Tandems) prolly dont mind. Dreamweaver? HTML editors are nice I guess, but to get the full functionality from them it helps to know html / javascript etc - this way you dont get such an " out of the box " look that so many editors are notorious for, and it affords you the option to further customize your pages before uploading. ok I'll shut up now, justy been on the web design binge way to much lately- beter get back at it! overall the design works to get info to the targeted audience-lol Just remember that the website is for a business, a fun business albeit but a business nevertheless. Dont let all the cool little dooflotchys (midis, animated gifs, etc) take away from the sites purpose. Be wary, test your pages with lots of browsers, screen resolutions, color setting, operating systems, connection speeds, etc. Ever seen the net on Web TV? Ever seen what AOL does to that cool graphic you just spent an hour making? Its up to you who you design for, my personal preference is 800 x 600 or higher, 16bit color, version 4 browsers, NOT Web TV, -lol have phun! Why don't sheep shrink when it rains? Can vegetarians eat animal crackers?

Right on!

I didnt get to go to either dropzone! Sucked but I have to say that emilys letter has got to be one of the most descriptive first jump stories I have ever heard.
