warning don't buy used gear from this guy
SafetyNate replied to azuleskies's topic in Gear and Rigging
Hello, I am a Senior Rigger and have been rigging since 1994. It sucks that your chute blew a cell, unfortunately that stuff happens. You didnt know it was gonna tear, your Rigger didnt know it was gonna tear, and Paul didnt know it was gonna tear. If you use it, it is the risk you take. The repair shouldn't be that expensive. Send it to Simon Wade in Boulder City, NV. He does amazing work at a fair price. If it makes you feel any better, i bought a sweet truck not so long ago and after about 2 weeks the oil pan rusted out and I blew the engine. I kept my chin up, didnt whine, and put a new engine in that bitch! Now it runs like a raped ape and still gets 6 mpg! Fix your flying machine and it will soar for you. The more you put in the more you get out! Cheer up, you will make it through this. Crater Nate -
Just talked to the athorities, They said I served enough hard time and that I get a fee pass for the boogie. I got insruance!

If they let you use the truck at night, you can use it as you see fit. If it has insurance, you can do what ever you want to it. Dont worry you big baby, you wont get caught anyway. Not even a ninja has as much natural stealth as you and your truck.

Hey Lee, Alex and I, (you know,the "problem children") have some video. But, since we are not "real climbers" you might not get "real" video! Just Kidding. Thanks for your help on the "Dirt Pile". Shoot me your address and I will send you my copy. I will tell Alex to do the same.

How many jumps did it take for you to accumulate 100 objects?
SafetyNate replied to base570's topic in Archive
I will let you know when I get there. Can I count that 270' A? Or do I need to come down there and jump it with a "functioning" parachute? By the way, we did that 160' S a few weeks ago, sick video! Congrats on 100 objects. Rock On, Rock On SATAN! Crater Nate -
Lonnie, Hows it going. I have 80 jumps stowed with a 48. I love it. I can show how to pack it so there is a nice hard "ball" to grab. It feels just like an internal handle. I can think of many reasons to go stowed with a 48. Going hand held is the same as leaving with a horse shoe Malfunction! Faber, What damage to gear can occoure if you take too long of a delay with an over sized PC? I have used a 48 for up to 5 sec and have seen no signs unusual of wear or significant change in opening. Have a good one, Nate

You never watched a live poop? One can learn a lot about poop once you see where it comes from. It really gets a bad rap. Anyway, have you heard of someone that can perform this manuver?
-
Some time ago, I witnessed someone poop with out giving up a drop of pee. Is there anyone out there that can duplicate this incredible feat?

Glad to see you had some fun out there. Stay safe for a few more months. We all think about you all the time. "just bring back my mother fuckin brothers sisters." - Sage F. ps. Jeff is gay.

Rock the F on! Missed you last night. 3 from 4.

Thanks everyone! That is what I was looking for. Glad to see other people have the same problems that I do. The blower was just not cutting it. Do you think the wind in free fall forces dirt on to the senser? Has anyone tried taping the crack between the lens and the body?
-
Does anyone know how to properly clean the sensor on the 20D?

Yall have internet at your towers? Nice job to Duh and and Britt. BASE is never going to be the same!

Ody, I have your black jack! It lands great. You have done enough for us back home, you didnt have to go and give me your brand new Black Jack. I was surprised how strong it was, the barb wire only put six small holes in it when I ripped it off the fence. Safety Nate

How did you feel when you were done? I stretched my nipple to a 6. I was juiced for about four hours. Adriline ROCKS.

Verizon. Having sprint, Nextel or cingular is like having no phone at all. Verizon alwaws gave me great service and there are no roaming charges! I use my phone all over the country, even in the middle of the desert in Moab. No extra charge. I talk free to other verizon customers all the time.

How you doin, Nice shot of your parents in the new Parachutist(pg 66). Did they send you a copy of TTN II? I heard it is the cats rectum. Have fun see you soon! Nate

What the hell. Here is the SKULL

I have 5 jumps from a 200' object that is solid concrete and 4 square corners. Very similar to a building. The exit point however, is in the middle of one of the sides (not a corner). I have dropped wind drift on all sides of the object just to see what happens. The down wind side was the most intresting. WDI went away fom he object, then down and twards the object, then hit the object and came right back up the wall to the top and started over agian. Wind was light, 5 mph on ground and less then 10 on top. My thought is no wind seems best, 90 deg cross wind is the best option if there is light wind, tail wind is a gamble and maybe your best shot for a jump that is anything but ordanary. How do some of you feel about crosswinds and B's. We are very nice to the up and commers in Ohio. We advise them not to jump these types objects until they demonstrate the approiate skills nessary for a safe outcome. Most of us have around the same jump numbers and we usualy (let) the lower number go first.
-
Rule of thumb in Ohio: Let the person with the least jumps go first!

Glad you liked it. TTN III is in the works! It will take a year or two to collect the footy. We are brain storming some shit that will blow your mind. I hope that nobody dies making this one. We are trying to work out the kinks when you mix BASE, Anal Beads, and glow-in-the-dark darts. When Alex heals enough to limp to the exit point, IT'S ON! Thanks to everyone for buying our video.

A couple years ago a BridgeDay, I had My 48 on my rig and took it through gear inspection. I was denied because it measured 40". That was a surprise. I had just free fell 235' with a 40" PC! It seemed to work fine though.
