it's nearly midnight here.. beer? Phwaahh... Whiskey in hand... hence the PWing

dude.. Waxing HURTS.... seriously ... sooo glad I ain't a chick!

Chopchop and Plaything are making a spirited bid for the title...

the trick is to pick the places you eat.. I never get stuff like kebabs after a drunken night out anymore after finding finger nails and such like in some ... Restaruants that show a little pride in themselves are usually OK and you can gererally tell by the way the waiters treat the food - iif they slap it down and generally don't care, there ain't a lot of motivation there... if they take some care over their service, it's probably ok.

any chanve you could put it back up Phree? I missed it first time...

Stroke 9 - 'how many people wanna kick some ass?' Collective Soul - Simple or Precious Declaration Mars Electric - 'Heavens Gate' all good look forward to the next vid... the last one was a blinder!

cool.. thanks for the advice... general consensus seems to be wait a while.. thanks, that's what I was looking for - just wasn't sure whether it was something good to practice on a lightly loaded canopy or only something to do with enough experience. Will

For those who are interested, I currently have 108 jumps, jump a Sabre 135 loaded at 1.14:1 and am happy to land it on my rear risers alone. I generally land using double fronts at the moment. however, seeing people swoop, many seem to start planing their canopy on rear risers and transfer to toggles later in the surf. When is the best time to learn to do this? When I have more jumps? Will it have any effect on my size canopy? Any advice would be appreciated... Many thanks Will edited to make the subject clearer

pretty much everyone in the pub I reckon

pub's getting busier..... you know you want to!

Carlsberg Export, followed up with some Asahi

Nope.. I get the same error..

DaKine do a grey, black and white camo pattern - give Chuck a call and I'm sure he'd be happy to help you work red in there somewhere...

try sending BethUK a PM... she jumps there.

This is one of the best flash anims I've seen! Sooo funny. A rip of backstreet boys ' I want it my way'.... The Snacktreat Boys proudly present 'I want a fat babe': just hit Watch film on the left... http://atomfilms.shockwave.com/af/content/regurge03 PS:takes a while to load, but worth it...

[replyI sit here puzzled Wondering what it could be Yoink, just what is Bead? d'oh, is what I meant. Bread not bead is made of dough. Hope this clears things up

Hurrah! I forgot! It's friday. Time for Haiku! bring it on people. Just been making bead with lots of flavours in it. Can't wait to taste it!

ROTF!.. not seen that before, can't breath.. crying. so. much.... brilliant

have a look at the post I made here: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=post_view_flat;post=915222;page=4;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;mh=25; It's part of a review of the Katana by Pete Allum. It suggests that the Katana is definately not suitable for Novice / Intermediate jumpers. I'd also advise reading the whole thread... Will edit: thanks Ian - I forgot about he clicky part...

the guys that wrote these have real issues with pengiuns... poor little fellas! ------------------------------------------------------------ And that is why you should never give a yeti a baseball bat...

This game is fantastic!!!!! ROTF at their little legs wiggling in the air!!! You're right about it being harder than the last one though! edit: 563.8

Just for interest, there's an article by Pete Allum in Skydive Mag reviewing the Katana. He was loading the 107 at 1.63:1 Some choice pieces are: "It shares many characteristics with the family of crossbraced canopies; high speed dives and long swoops." he rated it as completely unsuitable for Novices and Intermediate skydivers. and "I have been jumping 90-96 sqft crossbraced canopies for the last 2500 jumps and prior to that I spent 6000 jumps on a stiletto 120... [snip] ..This parachute is not for the faint of heart at mid to high wing loadings." Will

I've read most of the posts on skydiving involvement in the X-games before posting this one. I did so firstly because most of the other threads seem to lose focus after a while (hence the directly answerable questions in this one) and secondly because I would like more input, not on whether it should be involved, but how we can get it involved. It's that distinction that I didn't explain in my first post. As has been stated on all previous threads on the subject, is that there is a problem with merchandising our sport and the costs involved in getting into it etc. I do not propose to start up that debate again... instead I've been looking at it from the other way round. What can we offer them? How can we make it more spectator friendly? How can we sell ourselves to the public. There will always be those who don't wnat skydiving to be involved in the X-games, either for safety reasons or for the stigma attached to the extreme sports label. Both are valid arguments, but instead of saying 'we can't'... I'd like to try and say 'how can we...' This is where any help would be invaluable. Will

congrats dude.... all the best people are born in Feb Mine's in 5 days.... mmm... beer....

From interview: "And so I'd find myself tracking towards sombody who was deploying which is a totally different thing to do. I guess it's a little bit of a crazy thing to do..." The film looks stunning - it's just made my list of things to get.
