This might not get a whole lot of responses but anyways.... Do any of you guys/girls brew their own beer and if so, what are some good recipes you have done recently?

You forgot to put in the five minutes to do some speed.

Pics?

They are punks. They used to do that at the store to when they guaranteed their delivery times. They would print the order time later than actual so they could get there under 30 minutes.

DEWEY!!!! Watch out bud, DUI's are not cheap.

Anyone else have issues.... With "skygods" that only have three hundred jumps? I just love their attitude. Sorry, it just pisses me off.

Hey, I did the same thing. I took AFF all alone. Don't be worried that you dont know anyone. Most of the instructors are really cool. If you have a good attitude you will meet lots of people, dont even stress about it. And it is well worth it. Just have fun with it.

Clicky,Clicky

I wasnt interested in reading two year old threads but I will let you know when I am. YOU didnt even answer the question

This one has probably been asked a bunch of times, but I want to hear them anyway.

I will take the blame for that

Public info? Are you kidding me? You ever watch channel 12...Telenoticias or Telemundo? I get messages in spanish when i try to make a cell phone call in Point Loma. You are in san diego, right? Edited to add: Not to be rude but that 27% does not include non-registered people, which makes up a larger number than most think.

Dood look under wallpaper.

KORN

Another thing that i heard is that some of the purifying additives that certain drinking waters use are possible cancer causing agents. Is there any truth to this?

You didnt answer question number one.

Could we please find the fool still teaching people the 45 degree rule THAT DOESN'T WORK and flog them? Please? sssbc99...who taught you this 45 thing? You can PM it to me rather than posting it out loud. But we need to know who is spreading this crap because it's damn dangerous. I associated using your eyes instead of counting with the "45 degree rule". What i was actually "taught" was to watch the group ahead of you rather than counting the 7 seconds that was told to me in AFF(Assuming that you dont exit before 7 to 8 seconds). I didnt think it was right for an instructor to tell someone that 7 or 8 seconds was the golden rule because I have seen people count really fast. I guess i didnt really look at the actual 45 angle but if I counted six seconds and someone was right below the plane, I would wait longer (which is something I was told to do by quite a few people).

I usually drink about 2-3 liters of water per day. I have heard lots about how much you should drink but I want to know: 1. How much do you drink per day? And 2. What do you know about negative effects of drinking too much water? Just curious. Thanks.

Looks like that scene in E.T.

People opening on top of each other doesnt necessarily mean that there was bad separation. There are plenty of new freefliers that are not aware of their horizontal movement when they are "zooming" towards the group in front of them. But yes, separation time is most likely the major issue. Safety is always foremost in my mind. I will question things though so they make sense in my head rather than being involved in an accident because I wasnt properly informed.

Hey, relax tough guy. I was explaining what the instructors in AFF taught us as the "rule". I did not say that it was right. Your words in CAPS are funny though.

First off,why dont you explain yourself instead of trying to be funny (or whatever that was). Second, what do you do? Maybe it's because it's the zillionth time this year that someone proposed reliance on the 45 degree rule, only to be told that it doesn't work. Maybe it should be in a FAQ. Ok, you are right. I'm a newbie jackass but answer this question (which I never saw asked in the old discussions): Can it ever be dangerous (assuming no extreme conditions) for someone to exit when the group ahead of them is at a more or less 45 degree angle?

First off,why dont you explain yourself instead of trying to be funny (or whatever that was). Second, what do you do? In reply to the Kallend article: I read the section regarding this and I do agree with what he says, but his solution is to do a calculation that very few people will do, based on ground speed, uppers and normal spacing. The way I was taught was to take 8 seconds and this was given as the rule. My point was that instead of teaching students to count a certain number of seconds, teach them to look at the group ahead of them. Also, some peoples 8 seconds is different from others. You could count this 8 seconds and look out and see the group right below you, then you shouldnt jump. I guess with students it is not a big problem because they arent likely to catch up to a freeflier,unless he she is way out of control. Basically, I want to say that seeing is more important than counting, in my opinion.Of course I know that I am not very experienced but like I said, it is an opinion. And yes "45 degrees" is not the best judgement. I want to hear what all of you have to say about your methods.

Not if the student is pulling at 4000 ft.

You are kidding about the 45 degree angle being more important, right? Judy How do you figure?
