  2. Here's a good start: 7 cell vs 9 cell Edited cos I put the wrong bloody link in D'oh... sorry letsfly
  3. nope... never happened... I used to leave early, but only because I hadn't answerd some... Guess you're just smarter than me. Relax and be happy that you've done well...

  10. beer... especially after a hard day. Sleep... especially after a lot of beer. Altitude... after a lot of sleep. seriously. At some point, I've had people tell me that I only want each of these, they're not really neccessary. My reply? "Bite me".

    Sabre?

    I jump a Sabre 135 @1.14:1... lovely openings on all of them, never been modded. I suspent is really depends on the canopy...
  15. After a minor period of abscence... I'm posting from a new city, in a new job, in a new forum . Cool... I love being left alone in the office . Anyone else posting from somewhere new?
  16. just as an aside... aren't there any restrictions in place on jumping a camera in the states? 200 jumps and C license are needed in the UK...
  17. Would it be possible when writing a post to set a filter for replies? If I post a question in Gear and Rigging about canopy manufacture, and only want replies from riggers, couldn't there be some sort of dropdown menu to select the filter? Anyone who tries to post can read the thread, but is effectively locked to them unless they have rigger filled in on their account. This way people can set their own filters on things like jump numbers, ratings, time in sport even post number if they want. That way, people who don't want infomation from 100 jump wonders can just filter them out... Self-regulation type of thing? Will Admittedly, this may be open to abuse with people creating false ratings for themselves, but that's generally checkable.
  18. how many cells do paragliders have? aren't they like super-efficient?
  19. Nightingale is spot on... I've had exactly the same problem a couple of times with Sorz goggles. These sort it right out...
