    Texas Record?

    You want to be in the wet T-shirt contest? BWAHAHAHAHA "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.
  2. Stated record attempts if I don't get cut "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.
  3. I got it with protions of everyones (except the pirate thread ) input. ramon "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.
  4. I was lucky enough to find a used 97. cut a cashiers check for the money, gave it to a rigger to hold and sent the owner a xerox of it and he sent the canopy to the rigger. I jumped it and decided to keep it so I sent him the check. I had to buy it I wiegh 190 and there are few VXs that size running around. You could probably get a Xaos27 to demo from Precision or send Icarus a deposit for a new one and get your money back in 30 days if you don't like it.
  5. Wow. Mine is from Precision and it must be packed very carefull or else. My friends FX from New Zealand opens great. My vX from New Zealand opens great too. stirring the pot.. You can tell where it is from by looking at the warning label. if it came form Precision it will have a stamp that says inspected by precision. If it came from New Zealand or Spain it will have a little parachute with an I on one side and a number on the other side. good luck. P.S. I have personally witnessed two instances of stiching coming apart on FXs form precision a 104 and my 109. r "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.
  6. I think I can find a little pink Tee for you too. You might need help putting it on though. "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.
  7. Dumb question I know. I am trying to learn Premere (bargain license with I/O card, the book is not so good) I am making titles and if I drag and drop it onto the timeline (say video 2) and all my video is on timeline 1, I can not get the title to appear in the project window when I run the timeline. I was looking in my book but I can not figure out what I was doing wrong, is there a special setting to overalp video 2 on top of video 1? thanks
  8. I have a reflex water rig (removed RSL). I know. but, the reserve closing loop will always loosten up after a repack. The pin can be jostled if loose enough and or something snags the wire coming out of the reserve rip cord. "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.
  9. which is a good policy considering the ditch at Waller is very close to trees and asphalt. I always left, unless I am going for the ditch or some other different landing area then I right. "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.
  10. It really does, I don't know why so many still use it. "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.
  11. but.... 200 lb bear? Seems kinda small, I know it's just a black bear not a kodiak or grizzly. Is that how big they are? I hope they found the cubs and put them in a zoo or refuge or somehting. r "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.
  12. I would really like to know what happened if someone else can figure it out. His reserve pin might have not been seated all the way and if loose could have been jostled (or the cable could have been josteled. Has anyone looked at the closing loop on the reserve PC for damage or looseness? (If it is undamaged or loose, then the pin was physically moved). When did he last check his reserve pin? Was his REserve ripcord hangin out the velcro? Please elaborate when you find out ramon "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.
  13. We got a light guy and a heavy good brave belly flier. Bell guy wore t shirt and light guy a freefly suit. while belly guy was flying the light guy sit flew over to his back and then surfed on his but. Piece of cake. "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.
  14. If you think your legs are wide their not wide enough. Hook your feet also. Practice a couple of headstands over in the packing area and practice making your legs wide while staying in the head stand (more for your back and hips than legs...old Mike Swanson excercise) that aught to get you down to 170 "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.
  15. 150-155mph. the big boys were wearing baggy RW suits and that will slow it down 10 mph at least. r "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.
  16. I'm still skeptical that is all. In time maybe... my vX is pretty unforgiving the way it is. I heard recovery arc is shortened also "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.
  17. Say dog, I have a two really tiny white T-shirts that won't fit my 7 year old cousin can Rachill and Krista wear them? r "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.
  18. Is that why you weren't out at the DZ? It was very nice..no wind .. spot was weird all day though pilot said something about major airport landing patterns..I dunno. ramon "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.
  19. wow Glad you have a velocity now. "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.
  20. At that wing loading I don't know if you will notice the differences between an FX and a velocity, except the velocity might open better.. You can put a couple on my FX before I sell it, but I definitely must put it for sale immediately. "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.
  21. You were flying a stilleto at 2.47 wingloading? I am pretty sure this must have been a misprint on your part eh? "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.
  22. I jumped and landed one straight in at about 100 jumps (170, low wing loading and I realized immediately that I did not have the skill) then went back to my triathlon 175 for another 100 jumps ramon "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.

  24. Movies are movies. The FBI's program is called Carnivore (do a search on the web) sabotage, espionage, secret, cocaine, explosives, coup, hack, crack, phreak, drugs, narcotics, piracy, warez, opium, hash, weapons, nukes, neutralize, asassinate, cosmic, ICBM, treaty, revolution, rebellion....etc are words looked for bu it on the web "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.
  25. Depends on what you call out perform. This has all been experienced by me and my friend Levin: An FX 109 at 2.0 and an FX 74 at 2.0 perform differently. 74 dives from higher up, lighter riser pressure goes fast does not surf as far. the 109 has a shorter recover arc, will float in deep brakes much longer, is somewhat slower in the dive and in full flight, but will surf a further. What is performance? "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.
