Yes, those are all legal for personal use, but not for putting onto a commercial video. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

I would have liked to have partaken of the Booze Luge. Sigh...our past is slipping away. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

Santa Fe chicken sammich from Jason's Deli, hold the Russian dressing. Mmmm...it was tasty goodness. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

has anyone jumped with their ipod? (or .mp3 player)
Kris replied to superman0710's topic in The Bonfire
I occasionally listen to mine on the ride up, but I only put the headphone in one ear so I can still hear what's going on around me in case there's trouble. Then it gets turned off and goes into my jumpsuit pocket a few mins before exit. I listened to it a couple of times on cross-country jumps, but it's just too unsafe if there are others in the air. Hell, I have enough to focus on without needing another distraction on my jump. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™ -
It's hard to tell, but from where the slider is, it sure doesn't look like a tension knot. It looks like a classic lineover. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

*snicker* Well said. RW isn't going anywhere. I primarily freefly, but I still like to do low-pressure RW. Hell, it's all playing in the sky, and it's all good. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

Just bear in mind that you may not always have time. Getting stable before deploying your reserve is a bad habit to get into, and people have died trying to get stable first. Reserves are designed to be deployed while unstable. Congrats on saving your life though, there's no feeling like it the first time you do it.

Aircraft emergencies - freefall and canopy collisions
Kris replied to lintern's topic in Safety and Training
For me, personally, if i get out above 1500 I'm going for my main, below 1500 and it's straight to reserve. I know my Stiletto and I've done enough hop&pop's with it to know how fast it opens, and how to speed up the opening if I so choose. Either way, if you're required to get out and *immediately pull*, you shouldn't have a problem with anyone around you, as you should still have decent separation, even if you're all exiting immediately right after one another. Watch video of CRW dogs exiting if you want some reassurance. Just be ready to get on your rear risers immediately, as someone or yourself may open off-heading. As for the 45-degree rule, forget it, it doesn't work. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™ -
Seconded... Macca, with your body type, you would absolutely kill it in a GTi, man. Pour your tall, lanky frame into a GTi and you'll have an all-around suit that can hang with classic's or go balls-out with some S-series suits in mixed flocks. I'd thought about getting an S-3 once I hit 30-ish jumps on my GTi, but like Chuck says, if you can't jump an S-3 every weekend and keep that level of currency, it can be a dangerous handful. Just looking out for you, bro.

You're Sunshine's long-lost brother, aren't you? Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

Sunny, you are definitely your own food group. But, hon, don't ever change. I can't wait to see what kind of story-worthy nignoggery we're all going to get into at the SGC boogie and Rantoul this year. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

D'oh! That's doubly embarrassing, considering that I'm the one that finally completed Operation Melons and provided photo proof! Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
-
Oh....hell. The entire list of stories could fill a good sized hard drive. Spectre230, Skreamer's spotting, Operation Boobies... BTW, did you know that Sunshine is also a water-drinking lesbian? She loves to volunteer at the Food Hospital, too. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

Kris replied to superman0710's topic in The Bonfire
Why am I not surprised your mind works that way, Kel? Heh...actually, that's what I thought the first time I saw the pic. It looks like a practical joke that worked. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™ -
Mmmm....such a good girl. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

A'ight...here's a pic of me at the AOT boogie in '03. This was the jump where I blew up my Stiletto, knee, and hip. Ugh. Great pic though, and that makes it all worth it. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™ -

Agreed. Get it to a rigger to have them check it, but it sounds like you picked up some solid gear that should last you quite awhile, Missy.

Yeah, it sucks here in OK, today. It's almost 70 out. I even had to open the windows and the sunroof in my car when I went to lunch. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

The Z-Hills gang rocks. As soon as I pulled my suit out of the bag I had people offer to flock with me. Great group of peeps out there.

Hey there, stranger! I think we're going to have to put together a formation skydive of everyone who got kicked or ran off by the old owner. I wonder if the King Air is big enough.... Tell your bro I said hola. I should be back at Hinton at the end of the month once I get my rig put back together. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
