  1. That's a good observation about the DZ being downwind. Unfortunately, I wasn't thinking that clearly. I identified the longest stretch of what appeared to be clear ground and went for it. Owned by Remi #?
  2. I honestly felt really calm until 5am the next day. Then I melted down a little. Owned by Remi #?
  3. Large metal D ring, not even one of the low profile ones. God knows why it slipped out of my hands. Owned by Remi #?
  4. Yes, Conor. I found the freebag. If I ever can't press record, I definitely won't jump. Definitely. Owned by Remi #?
  5. Much of it is thigh deep water with cabbage palms growing under the surface. I wasn't really thinking about landing in the water although that might have been a safer option than the trail. I only had a few seconds to decide where I way going to land and the trail caught my eye before that clear spot did. I don't even remember seeing it. Owned by Remi #?
  6. Good observation about the reserve WL. Mine is really conservative. Owned by Remi #?
  7. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRbUES79HwM The video description explains what happened. Lucky to have survived the low pull and the sketchy landing. Owned by Remi #?
  8. I went to Skydive East TN this weekend with friends from Ohio and we were all amazed at what a great Dropzone this is. The only bullet points I rated less than 5 for the DZ were aircraft variety and rigging services, and that's only because it's hard to give a DZ without a turbine a 5 and I don't know much about their rigging. If I could have skipped those options rather than rate them lower, I would have. This is a lovely, warm, gorgeous DZ that deserves attention. Thanks for the good times, guys!

  10. A paid holiday for a lot of people who aren't veterans and just another day at work for a lot of people who are veterans. Owned by Remi #?

  12. Louie!!! That is freaking AWESOME. Well done. Owned by Remi #?
  13. Holy shit, Windsor. I've been lock step with most of the things you've posted here about religion, but this is petty, mean bullshit. The kid didn't go out one evening waving a bible and provoking someone into attacking him because he though Jesus would get his back... He walked out of a bible study and was attacked and killed. He had no tangible way to defend himself. He resorted to the only thing he had to work with, which was his faith. Even if you think his faith was misguided, there's no honor at all in being such a complete prick about it. Owned by Remi #?
  14. The knee-jerk reaction of many here to mock what happened to your friend is typical and sad, Conor. He was faced with an impassible situation and reacted to it the best way and possibly only way he knew how. The people joking about what happened to Dale are disconnected from the fact that he was a friend and companion and human being trying to connect to his world in his own way. Owned by Remi #?

  17. I stand corrected, Mark. Your information is much more informed than mine. Owned by Remi #?
  18. A USPA licensed jumper is required to know how to correctly assemble their 3-ring release. That means they are required to be capable of assembling all the components of the 3-ring release system. How does that not include being able to replace a cutaway handle? Owned by Remi #?
