I have a Renegade... it fogs up like an SOB. I'm going to deal with it by taking out the visor. That rat bastard scared the hell out of me once when I opened into the sun and couldn't see anything. I don't want to go there EVER again. Owned by Remi #?

Whatever happened to good old fashioned thread hijacking?

Aren't bunnies protected in Washington by some pinko, communist, semi-Canadian, democratic, environmental protection law that makes smashing them punishable by death in Texas? Owned by Remi #? -

I wonder how much storage space has been taken up with "dead kitten" posts? I think that I might search the forums..... maybe you could guilt people into contributing a nickle for every time they said "kitten" and a dime for every "boobie". HH might be able to buy a Cray Owned by Remi #? -

Hey.... storage space costs money too.... I'm not trying to be a spoil sport, I'm just trying to be a geek. Owned by Remi #? -

I'm too lazy to read all the replies.... so in case no one else said it: Multiple threads don't use more bandwidth. Only slightly more storage space. Owned by Remi #? -

Chest strap save on load, How common is this?
labrys replied to skydonkey's topic in Safety and Training
I sort of agree... I agree that it's harder to spot a misrouting when the strap is folded back over the buckle. What I'm not sure I agree with is that this is always done because there is excess strap. My rig's chest strap doesn't have a "foldback" at the end of the strap and the manufacturer's (Javelin) recommendation is to fold the strap back over the buckle and into the keeper. That does make the routing harder to see. I keep that in mind when I see someone else wearing a rig like mine. But I don't do it because I have excess strap. Owned by Remi #? -

My daughter was 0 years old when she was born. I thought that all kids were that age at birth... I was 18. Way, way too young Owned by Remi #?

Not what I meant at all. In your reply you mention that we should keep in mind why we are downsizing... ...and that's the exact issue I was trying to address by saying that we are "new skydivers". I am downsizing because I need to cross the line between the 290 student Manta I started with and the 210 Hornet I bought... I am a new skydiver. I am faced with new experiences every time I jump and I'm downsizing faster than an experienced jumper. I'm downsizing from a "super size it, please" to a canopy that seems like a reasonable wing loading to get experience on. I really appreciate the time and effort you took to answer. I hope that's clear. Owned by Remi #?

Being at about the same experience level as Nightingale and having had a very similar problem where I had to decide if I could land with rear risers because I had a stuck toggle... I would like more input here. What I think I'm hearing is that no one should ever downsize. Say I'm flying a 230' canopy and feel really comfortable turning and landing on rear risers. I jump that canopy for X number of jumps, exhibit that I'm skilled enough to downsize... and switch to a 210 or 190. Keep in mind that we are new skydivers.... So within the first couple of jumps on my new 190' canopy I get a stuck toggle. I'm just learning to fly the damned thing. I can't "upsize" mid flight. I need to decide NOW if I cut it away or risk landing in an unfamiliar, untested way at faster speeds than I"m used to? It really seems to me that under your rules nobody should ever downsize.

From Blizzards employment FAQ: "The basic idea is this: don’t give us any excuse not to hire you. This means paying attention to details and not making any mistakes. While we wouldn’t reject John Carmack for misspelling "Gouraud shading," we might snicker a bit. The less snickering we do, the sharper you look." Owned by Remi #?
