  1. Im just the opposite, not sure why you have the muchies after a jump, are you burning a blunt in freefall
  2. Do you know any real incident about those low quality knives? Yes!!! Me, search lucky & stupid in the incidents forum
  3. just thought I would throw this out. Don't buy one of these Yes it did save my ass but if I had one more line to cut I wouldnt be here. Spend the extra $ & buy metal
  4. I didnt know that... why though??? I am not being a smart ass but just inquisitive
  5. I bought new fresh out of the gate (everything). I am by no means rich but that is the way I am. I could have saved a bunch of $ had I went for used but I started in my late 40's. I guess everyone's situation is different.
  6. I think I have seen this discussed here before but didnt really comment, Im sure they share some things with the exception you have an engine for an aborted landing
  7. God, I'm helping Dan sell a book? HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!'CrazyWink hehe, ditto, good reading
  8. had to make the same decision a few yrs ago. I lost respect for my bikes when riding in the 80's. Got away with alot of shit. If I even think for a moment I lose respect for this sport.. I'm done. They both have pros & cons
  9. driving 125mph in your car, but the speed odometer is showing "0"
  10. it was geared towards air flow, would love to know what gregg gaston did with that contraption before he deployed
  11. when the people with 1000's of jumps take their jump suits off.
  12. Hey try a downwind,.. maybe it might scare the bejesus out of them and stick with their current canopy............ Is it just me, or does this sound stupid? My intentions were to say know your canopy, upwind downwind , crosswind prior to downsize, I made a wrong assumption that you might have got my point. We all preach "don't listen to what you read here" My statement had some validity but politically incorrect. sorry I rattled your cage bro....
  13. go to bed, relax, have a good breakfast, go to the DZ and sit with your instructor with some coffee and say " lets do our gear check, EP's and lets get on the plane,smile and have fun. I am sure you will posting here after this next jump.
  14. I love to skydive but not being in wheel chair or dead might make me rethink my weekend advocations
  15. maybe they should funneled their energy towards "damage to morals" but that wouldnt get any media attention.
  16. Stonybrook university Long Island has been doing this for about 2 years now. Click on skydivelongisland.com and go to the links
  17. Great photo, perfect for the drill of sweeping your cables, riser on the left still not disconnected
  18. Willie T (SDLI) never even wore shoes for about 2 yrs. Never once did I see him stub anything. He is wearing sneakers now.
  19. try to work on it because you get good at bad habits. PLEASE read "lucky & stupid" in the incidents forum.
  20. congrats, I also jumped my daughter when she did her first tandem, it was great to tag along, she loved it but said never again... Guess she didnt get that chromosone from me
