I started reading it in 96, when I came to the US. I think I found out about it at the college library. I wanted to create a skydiving college club, and I remember the faces of the college authorities when I proposed this to them, it was funny. Later I remember the grup used to organize boogies, I remember going once to sebastian in 98. the only person I knew was James from Pahokee....I never forget the lady with the prosthetic hip that used to come out of its socket during deployment some times...she jumped a Diablo...and then one day that canopy killed her. Line twist I think and then camera helmet entanglement...I still remember her sitting down at that patio table in Sebastian laughing and holding a beer.

Well if you intend to jump something that you're gonna cut away, then you need a third parachute (tertiary)... -- Blue Skies NO FEARS, NO LIMITS, NO MONEY... "A Subitánea et Improvísa Morte, Líbera nos, Domine." -
I call, text, email, pm until they respond LOL, but that's just to those that don't respond to the "contact seller option", and yeah, people forget to mark item as sold, once it's no longer available for sale. -- Blue Skies NO FEARS, NO LIMITS, NO MONEY...

No, man Don't know them, I was there like a month ago, and this was my first visit after 5 years. There are other options closer by, you know... But the experience left me wanting more. I'm coming back, but I'm not driving alone. BSBD -- Blue Skies NO FEARS, NO LIMITS, NO MONEY... "A Subitánea et Improvísa Morte, Líbera nos, Domine."

Outrage Over Skydiving Cat Video
freeflyfree replied to Deisel's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
..."after three years of competition, he'd finally made it to the World Cat Chasing Championships."... ..."No beast alive could scratch like a cat in freefall. That was part of it, the sheer insanity of six adults chasing a cat through the sky at speeds in excess of 120mph"... ..."There had been moves by some to have the cats de-clawed. -to make it safer-, they said. But they were outsiders. They never really understood the sport. The claws made it more than just a high altitude football game. The claws were the sting"... ..."There were very few human Fatalities in the sport. The cats did not fare as well"... ..."The best known human fatality was the legendary Rocco Van Zant"...

*** I would be surprised if you could order it attached to the apex.*** It was something my rigger wrote in the order form, the option is not there, it just says "pull out". A few of my friend had them like that, back in those days 2000 pahokee. I heard of a case where the bridle was packed sawndwiched between the bottom of the reserve tray and the Dbag, and didn't want to come out and play resulting on some kind of malfunction...I don't remember details.

Do you think roasting coffee in Dubai would make for a good income, for let's say..rent, food and jumping money?...all you need is a rotiserie oven, some lights for toasting, a vacuum cleaner for cooling the beans, and some syrup for flavor...of course packaging stuff...but I wonder... -- Blue Skies NO FEARS, NO LIMITS, NO MONEY...

Thomas Piras, So what was that got to people, I know he didn't turn his cypres ON, but besides that, I hear people saying stuff like "he showed us how it was done...untile he went in", or stuff like that, what was he like? how influential was he, I never met him, but I know people that did...what's the story?

Not all Pull Outs have the handle at the base of the pilotchute, mine has it on the Apex of it, so when I pull I can get a full arm extension before releasing it. and not get it inflated as soon as it sees air.

Nice to find a page in his memory, but came accross this commentary posted here at the end. After many years I hear an eyewitness account of what happened that day... here's the commentary: "Patrick, Your arrogance and ignorance bought you the end ticket, After personally hearing you tell the packer "NO I WILL NOT MISS THE LOAD THE PAD IS GOING FLAP FLAP FLAP, is creating drag... No good No good you must tack it to the bottom of ...my container carefully, carefully. I witnessed and remember with perfect clarity how the packer then told you, you must then miss a load so they I can un-pack your rig,"super tacK' the pad to the bottom of your container, and then re-pack your main, and how you made a scene and told NO NO NOT ACCEPTABLE, I Shall NOT MeeesSS THE NEXT LOAD" (insert snobby french indulgent accent here) the packer then did what you ordered it to do, EXACTLY how you told them to do it. I then watched you pound into the banana trees due to your skygod arrogance. Thankfully I had already loaded my bags into the car to go the airport, and drove off to the skybar to fly back state-side, while other fools were spriniting to see your splattered remains in the dirt you deservedly burned into. What a hell of a memory you left with that packer, to simply catch the next load. I only had nearly 500 jumps, but even my inexperienced self saw, and witnessed the foolishness of your egotistical ways. The sooner that skydivers no longer worship fools such as yourself, and end "Whitewashing" the fact that your foolish decicison ended tyour worthless life, ande recognize frankly, that all you have contributed to human existance, was your self inflarted ego, and some really tacky commercials, and a blight on the sport of skydiving. Once folks realize this, the better the world and skydiving will be. Shotz! P.S. I am willing to testify, and have the ability to prove the facts as stated. it's here towards the comment dated March 7, 2010 at 11:04pm -- Blue Skies NO FEARS, NO LIMITS, NO MONEY... "A Subitánea et Improvísa Morte, Líbera nos, Domine."
