http://www.blincmagazine.com/forum/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=7&topic_id=15320&mesg_id=15320&page= Has anyone done any testing and have figures on the differences in the force needed to open pin v velcro? After some "hand / feel" testing I know that pin (generally) have a lower force required to open the container before extraction - but I would be interested in the actual figures relating to this. Thanks for any info........

thats the thing dood - the track is not on the soundtrack............. I cant find it anywhere! its the tarzan and jane of jungle just swung in on the vine this morning! It would turn harikrishna into a bad boy..........

The sheepshagging pretend yank with his flying Elvis stylie rig is having fun UK Style.......... Very nice work on the 3 new objects - including your lowest freefall to date, a nice 340ft E where your reliance on GPS was your only guide!! - fucking waking me up on a sunday morning at 6am for telephone groundcrew!! NICE! hehehe, and a visit to our local last night with winds that swayed the tower! My g/f GC appreciates your canopy as it gives her something to see!!! Your home crew has lost a good guy to jump with - but that is our gain! Nice one bruvvvva! NICE! looking forward to many more................ when this fucking wind dies down! Michael PS) Faber man........... we are all going to have a riot in Feb!!!

Anyone know what the track is that is played when Cooper is selling to the two guys who walk in and say "Any Jungle in Guy??" And if so any idea where i can download it! Thanks people!

it does not matter how good looking they are - someone somewhere is sick of their shit!

still waiting for your mail to arrange that! Party on fuckers!

I know! and looking back it was a bad choice! we keep learning on this journey............. that was a big learning experience........... it worked out ok on that one............ but i know i wont tweak the nose of the reaper on one similar again.......... I WAS STUPID! - and knowing now what happened on that jump (not exactly smooth) I am aware of how much of a twat I was! Sometimes it will bite you! sorry

N/A

So QuickDraw - why is someone posting on BLiNC as "NotQuickDraw"??? - You upset someone??? be safe geeeeeeeeeeza!

Much more chance on any day of a skydiver hitting a canopy in freefall or another skydiver or canopy on canopy collision.......... in fact the chances are so high the rare occasions i sit at a DZ I wince at all the people coming into land and focused on the landing area and not the people around them - what is being done about this?????

hehehehe!! Yeah I remember - that was weird! Cravendale cows came hunting!! Strange we were only talking about this last night on the drive to "The Black Herd" - for another surreal jump from there - I did a solo (with GC) and it was fogged out! alone on top of the A not being able to see anything - was a very lonely place - but nice - I got off it and then proceeded to fly my canopy blind until about 15ft from the ground..................... was pure "lost boys" stylie! Was strange jumping off into the fog................ it was just as if I was floating in the abyss...................... nice!

I found it easier and more pleasing to the eye when I deleted all the Italian (as I cant speak a work of it!!) - it unclogged it slightly. I then printed it off in sections and it was much more managable than looking at it on XL. Either that or get a fuck off 42" plasma screen to view it!!

expose the nose!

Anyone have any idea where I may be able to obtain a copy of the video from Bridge Day 1986? Thanks for any help....... Michael PS) yes I have emailed JB!

I have a Silva Alta that is meant to be more accurate than a suunto (accurate to within 3ft) - I have taken this up on a skydive and the update is toooo slow to be used safely as an alti.............. http://www.silva.se/outdoor/products/inst_alta.htm

I tried to ask this (sort of?!?!) in another thread about the drag differences and opening distances with different PC's - but no one responded................. then I decided to look into this myself with 689's handy XL spreadsheet..... thanks 689! http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=729814#729814

I have seen (but never jumped) the morpheus big grabs with the "lineover cutaway" system thingy - and it looks pretty fucking smart in my eyes!!

Nice one 689! thats the one i was looking for! I lost it on upgrading my computer! - I did not realise it was you that created it!! Thanks again!!

I used to have an XLspreadsheet I took from the net on the drag of various PC sizes and air speeds - anyone recollect where this may have been from or does someone have a copy they could email me? michael.mchale@berkeleygroup.co.uk Thanks Michael

Being under canopy after a nice freefall from a 270ft E and seeing a guy who had decided to take a day naked fishing running for his underpants as he never expected an aerial delivery of 2 guys and a Danish Mincer wearing a pink hat!................... Having coffee made for you by the security guard whilst you are kitting up in his office before he lets you into a nice never jumped before secure object! Hiding on top of a power tower as a small private aeroplane flies past close – and then realising he is being more illegal as he is flying under the power cables for a laugh. Having your mate sat on the edge calling you over for what you think is a bridle and pin check only to say “your sister has a hairy arse” and leaving the object - cause he fucked her the night before……….. About to leave the object on 3-2-1 and having your mate fart a long loud multi tone arse biscuit for you to sit back down and compose your self after fits of giggles and to laugh in freefall – even in the face of terror farts ARE funny! Running from a B canopy in hand etc to be faced with a drunk guy who double checks you, shrugs his shoulders and walks on………… Arriving in France and sitting in a park with tramps sharing a beer and smoke before making your way to the first object……… you have never experienced a countries culture until you have drunk with their tramps! ………..to be honest many many times you will have something happen that’s surreal!! It’s fucking great!!

and if you stay too long next to the stinger your video fucks up and its a waste of tape!!

skin stop posting and start working on getting your arse here! there are things to do and women and skydivers to insult! put away your league of gentlemen tapes and baby oil and get your arse to the homelands!! Be safe scablicker........... Love ya work!!! M

thats the right idea! just because someone has the "experience" to take a FJC or to be accepted as possibly skillfull enough to BASE its all about the mindset - someone with 200 jumps may be more mentally ready than someone with 1000 jumps - its a personal thing. Jump numbers are just a guide i beleive............ but stood on the exit - you will know whether you are ready - its so so easy to sit behind your pc with 500 skydives and some knowledge and say I want to do this - its a different kettle of fish to be on top kitted up saying I want to do this......... I "thought" I was ready when I had 200 skydives - How wrong I was! it took another 2 years after to "know" I was ready.......... As someone once said "You dont find BASE, BASE finds you" ..........fucking wind!!!
