  1. Why is Baseball not on the list? I think is is worse than Golf.
  2. Merriah is great. I haven't talked to her in a couple years, but I don't think she would have any problems with you contacting her about Freestyle. She is very passionate about keeping the discipline and bringing new fliers to it. Mark Klingelhoefer
  3. Wow, That is fantastic info. Thanks for putting this together.
  4. You don't even have to go that far back. I remember about 12-13 years ago, paying $0.87 a gallon.
  5. This one does it for me. It has to do with a memorial video for a skydiver I once knew. "Here Without You" Three Doors Down A hundred days have made me older Since the last time that I saw your pretty face A thousand lies have made me colder And I don't think I can look at this the same But all the miles that separate Disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face I'm here without you baby But you're still on my lonely mind I think about you baby And I dream about you all the time I'm here without you baby But you're still with me in my dreams And tonight it's only you and me The miles just keep rollin' As the people leave their way to say hello I've heard this life is overrated But I hope that it gets better as we go I'm here without you baby But you're still on my lonely mind I think about you baby And I dream about you all the time I'm here without you baby But you're still with me in my dreams And tonight girl its only you and me Everything I know, and anywhere I go It gets hard but it wont take away my love And when the last one falls When it's all said and done It gets hard but it wont take away my love I'm here without you baby But you're still on my lonely mind I think about you baby And I dream about you all the time I'm here without you baby But you're still with me in my dreams And tonight girl its only you and me
  6. Head down or belly flying is fine.....Just don't sit fly. That shit hurts.
  7. I am really a Serra fan, but it is hard to root against GSP. I so wanted to see Serra end Matt's career, and I was hoping he was going to retire after GSP handed his ass to him, but no such luck. I think I'm going to watch this one as a true fan of both fighters, and whoever is better that night will win. I know it sounds like a cop-out but that's my story and I'm stickin to it.

  8. SHHHHHHHUSH.......What part of SECRET do you not understand.
  9. I watched it, and you have to keep in mind that the training they are going to get from Griffon and Rampage is probably going to be a little better than they have recieved at "Billy Bobs MMA Fight School" in everytown USA. That guy that had to cut like 17 lbs was dead tired after about 2 minutes. Mark Klingelhoefer

  12. How about a nice game of CHESS? (said in my best 80's computer voice)
  13. Orson Scott Card "Ender's Series" John Sandford's "Prey" series Sue Grafton's "Alphabet" Series (A is for Alibi, B is for Burgular...) James Patterson ("Women's Murder Club", "Alex Cross" and the "Maximum Ride" Series) JK Rowling edited for spelling
  14. I used it in my job interview, but then again, it was for my current job with UPT, so it was a good thing.
  15. We can put them under the ring covers (Mudflaps) or you could put it on the chest strap. We have made CReW rigs with 5 hook knives (Both leg pads, both ring covers, and the chest strap) Mark Klingelhoefer UPT
  16. The web site is back up and running. Mark Klingelhoefer
  17. I'll let our IT guy know when he gets in. Mark Klingelhoefer UPT
  18. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this one, with everyone away at PIA, I've been busy. I just spoke with our engineers, and in the pull tests we have done with assembled ripcords, we are finding that they break at between 900 and 1000 lbs. Strangley enough, they have not been breaking at the bartack or finger trap, they are breaking in the center of the ripcord (in the middle of the elastic). We are still determining the best wat to test each individual ripcord for when we start selling them, but all will be tested to the same standard we test all of our standard ripcords (600 lbs for 3 seconds).

    Eclipse!

    I can't believe a whole thread about the moon without one picture of someone's ass. Look like HH's post about cleaning this place up is having some effect.
  20. Actually, the current (metal) ripcords are tested to 600 lbs, but the spectra is tested to break above its rating of 1000 lbs. (typically around 1,100 lbs when it breaks). Mark Klingelhoefer UPT
  21. The Spectra Reserve Cable has been held up with the FAA. We are ready to start producing them, however, we can not until we get the OK from the FAA (it is part of the TSO). Mark Klingelhoefer United Parachute Technologies
  22. My vote goes for Deland for the canopy coaching. Hard to beat Scott Miller and the PD boys.
  23. no, the one I gave is the "rejection" line. Basically a number you give to someone in a bar that wants your number but you don't exactly feel the same way. They won't know it till they try to call you, and hopefully, you'll never see them again.
  24. Jay's got nothing on you. You swoop machine.
