    without any doubt it will be the same old "we have the best plane, the coolest jumpers, the nicest bbq's, best packers yaddayaddayounameitwhehaveit and if you don't name it and we don't have you wouldn't want it anyway" kind of advertorial sentences we are all to tired off.

    again: RTFM. if you (the general you, not to be taken on a personal level, you know) don't want to play by the (really simple) rules, STFU if you wake up in a place where you didn't want to be sometimes ignorance is bliss, most of the times it's just a royal pain in the you know what The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle dudeist skydiver # 666

    when the book came out, something like 25 years ago, it was a huge bestseller, that topped the bookcharts for years in the hardcover version i have no idea how the language works in the english translation, but in german it was (and still is) something very special. i didnt want to watch the film, then i said what the heck, its not going to ruin the book. basically its a 1:1 adaption, still the book is what it is: a great piece of fiction as for the "orgy scene being a bit over-the-top" - whats your beef with that one?

    so there's this extremely boring interview-section with prefabricated questions, with the answers edited down to something like three lines. if this was changed to a real interview, where it didnT matter if it cover three pages, well....

    you forgot sunflowers - my guess these are even worse than corn. ripe sunflowers (the head) before harvest weigh something like 3-4 pounds and the plant is full of hook-like stuff trapping lines. i'd say this beats corn any time btw: up to now i've avoided landingin any of the mentioned plants The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle dudeist skydiver # 666

    did you try fronts, rears, flying in deep brakes, cross-wind landings? you can fly a nitro 150 @ 1.3 like an accuracy canopy. I doubt you can do this with a Safire just my 0,2 The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle dudeist skydiver # 666

    ok - you got me i have a rapid downsizing career going from mantas over falcons and sabres to the nitro 150 in something like 50 jumps. over here we have a somewhat laid back attitude regarding wing loading and canopy size. do i think it was clever to downsize that quickly? looking back i think, that a slower progress definitely has it's merrits especially if you have somebody actually teaching you how to fly a canopy (classes in canopy control are actually non-existant in my part of the world) i also have to admit, that I've never been into the swooping thing nor do i want to go that way, and that i've had my crashes where i was lucky not to harm myself (other than a few bruises) if i had to buy a new canopy today I'd upsize to a 150 and i think that pilots are great *jmo* The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle dudeist skydiver # 666

    I've been jumping my nitro 135 for the last 600 jumps and i know i'm not going to change that canopy as long as it's airworthy. i have never encountered any tendency to spin up, as mentioned by another poster. contrary the nitro will fly straight even in severe linetwists (as long as they are symmetrical, but that should be a no brainer) packing is easy, so is the handling would i recommend it: hell yes, but not with your jump numbers The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle dudeist skydiver # 666

    all this reminds me of something that happened at my little space in the universe: fellow jumper (in the 5-700 jump range) bought a handkerchief some time ago. he was always complaining about the openings and the landings. turns out that he asked some canopy-piloting guru this summer. his answer was plain simple: if you buy a wild horse you gotta be able to ride it conclusion: pocket rockets and low jumpers don't mix well and you only survive your landings unhurt as long as you are lucky and you are blessed with ideal conditions. if not: the incidents-forum is full with the possible outcomes. sadly enough (as the recent past tells) it's also seasoned Instructors that get killed The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle dudeist skydiver # 666
