  1. I remember that jump. I gave him some "coffee" (beer in a styrofoam cup) to calm him and the guy that hit him down. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

  5. Tell 'em just send you the check. That's a new canopy right there.
  6. Are you assigning chores or this an exercise program? P.S. I think they prefer to be just called skydivers. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

  8. It can be difficult and time consuming to stow your slider behind you past your popped brakes. Not to mention while you are doing this you are in full flight vs. half brakes. Leaving your slider on your lines if you jump mini-risers without slider stops can be dangerous too as it can slide down and catch in a toggle. Perhaps: Sliders can only be collapsed and stowed after you have fully cleared your airspace and before you release your brakes. Kudos to your effort. I wish you a safe and successful record.

  10. In Brazil there is no landing strip to guide you. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  11. First off let me start by saying I have not jumped anything smaller than a Sabre2 150 so I am only going by observation and what I have been told. I'd love to try one someday, but for now I already have a pilot chute. Are Velocities, FX's, VX's, Xaos's, etc. Suitable for bigway jumps? I'm not talking about HP landings, just left hand pattern straight in. Depending on what group you're in you may be opening right at or just above 2000 feet. I have heard many swoopers say due the unpredictable openings and violent mals that can occur they like to open around 4000, and usually not less than 3000. Once open even flying "slow" you probably are overtaking other traffic. Should you have to avoid someone at the last minute the added speed may either save or hurt or kill you. I do realize it's the pilot, not the canopy that matters, but truly how many HP canopy pilots truly have enough jumps on their canopy to safely deal with all this, especially right after a big dive? I know a few HP canopy pilots have said already when they do bigways "They put the toys away." Was just curious what others thought.

  15. Easy man. Arrogant yes, selfish son of a bitch, nope. He made a fucked up mistake and paid for it with both his life and Bob's life. Name calling not necessary. I find this extremely ironic. A month ago, if you walked up to Danny and said, "You know what, you are an arrogant, selfish son-of-a-bitch!!!" He'd probably just look at you, smile that big smile and say, "That's Mr. Arrogant, Selfish Son-Of-A-Bitch to you, or just call me Mr. Asshole for short!!!"
