  1. Howdy, I'll be making my first jumps since 1995 in just a couple weeks. I'll be flying a Sabre2 210 loaded at about 1.08 to 1. I was last seen jumping a PD-190 (F-111) 9 cell loaded about the same as my new one. That F-111 canopy was brand new when I was jumping it. I put the very first 30 jumps on it then stopped jumping. Is there any significant difference in the way I should flare the Sabre 2 as opposed to the PD-190?
  2. Thanks for the tips everyone. This is exactly the info I was lookin for AggieDave, do you get that Poly-pro stuff at Army/Navy? Can these be purchased on-line? Cheers!
  3. Howdy, Maybe this should be in the gear forum but since its really clothing I'm asking about I decided to put it here. I'm interested in finding if there are any specific companies that specialize in winter skydiving gear. Specifically I'm interested in Thermal underwear that might have a long turtleneck like thing that can cover my neck while I'm jumping. If not, then something that can cover my neck and go up into my helmet so that there is no exposed skin. Any suggestions? Chris
  4. You should try secureCRT or even X-Win32 for your terminal sessions. Putty is kinda limited... But you win! I officially recognise and acknowledge your hardcore nerdiness

    FINALLY!!!!!!

    I've seen this "bump" thing before but I have yet to figure out what it means
  6. Some of them are great, but then he has to ruin it with posts about the huge size of his balls.
  7. I STRONGLY second Zeemax opinion here. I've purchased from them a brand new rig which is only a couple weeks away now! Arlo is awesome. I had (and still have) more questions to ask than any one person has a right to and she has answered ALL of them to my complete satisfaction. Never kept me waiting for an answer. The prices were great but the service was absolutely the best anywhere. I even sent Kudos to the owner about my experience there. I have subsequently purchased a new helmet as well. Same awesome service :-)

    FINALLY!!!!!!

    Looks great. A major improvement over the old site. My new Havoc arrives monday!
  9. If you already have functional transportation and the jeep is just a 2nd vehicle toy, get the rig. If you have no working car, get the engine.
  10. Can anyone verify this story? I cant find mention of it anywhere and that site in the link is so slow its useless.
  11. No, if you are a hard core nerd, you use Pine to read your e-mail. You like ksh. You know what BOFH means. You remember gopher. You understand ">/dev/null 2>&1"
  12. I got this among other ones. You left off the last part where it says "Send this to every moron in your address book in the next 5 minutes, blah blah blah...
  13. Damn! I set a personal best back when I was about 17 or 18 (this was actual sex, not masturbation) at the height of my hormone storm. I didnt even come (no pun intended) close to this guys orgasm record. Even so, with my meager seeming attempt, I had the worst blueballs in history afterwards. How is this guy still living??!? Good thing I know it must be a hoax.
  14. Anyone fly with a Bonehead Havoc? If so, can you comfortably open it up once you are under canopy or will the full face catch too much air for comfort?
  15. I hardly think that people wanting to be hard asses is the fault of the US. We didnt invent violence. We didnt invent assholes. These things existed LONG before the USA was born
  16. Unless you wear a balaclava (a wear one, a military type and is awesome) Isnt that some kind of pastry? I guess enough of that would keep you warm but man would you look stupid!
  17. I pay nuthin cuz I dont drink anymore. But I gotta sy that you folks that chose the 10-11 dollar cases are drinking some real piss water. The question was about beer, You cant call that 10 dollar stuff beer
  18. Howdy, This is for any folks that regularly jump at Corsskeys. Hows the winter jumping there? How much altitude do you get due to temperature? I ask because I'll be starting back to jumping in just a few more weeks, just in time for cold weather I dont want to immediately stop for the winter right after starting again...
  19. I'm glad to see I'm not the only newbie that doesnt automatically jump to freeflying because its the "cool" thing
  20. I'm close to none, but I took some skin off my leg once. Technically thats an injury.
  21. Sorry, I'm keeping the card I'm still a man and I'm also straight. But I have limits! I like naked women as much as the next guy but if you take all their clothes off and toss them out the door, once they hit terminal their gonna look like my grandmother and I just cant take that. I cant! PLEASE DONT MAKE ME LOOK AT THAT!!!

  23. Billy Tourtelot is full of shit. He is simply trying to capitalize on someone elses personal tragedy. I wish everyone would boycott their show and show him that he is crossing the line.
