Until we people have a bigger lobby than corporations...sheesh. the best is the Diesel engine made by a man named Diesel was originally supposed to run off vegetable oil (no aromatic hydrocarbons), better emissions and renewable. Standard oil was in full swing and they adapted it for petroleum. aahhh... "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.

This is not necessarily bad, just weird/different. I saw this this weekend. A Texas swooper (friend of ours and realy close to Freaksis

Wow. Don't take offense. Several of us complain and it gets back to you, you register and respond with venom. Not that I am not grateful for the coverage you did provide. Last year It was fine. and I certainly did see several explanations in this thread for why you did not finish. And they are quite acceptible, seeing as how SDC completely turned off of nationals and people are having a hard time over there knowing what happened. But, a couple of us got together voiced our opinions here, got chastised for it by wreckdot kallend and had a fine explanation posted by Quade. The actual reality is everyone that is curious about nationals free events that did not follow this thread is talking about it behind your backs (assuming they do not have access to all the facts presented in this forum). We posted here, it got back to you and now you know. You don't actually owe us anything and we are technically not even your customers since you don't get a single thing from doing this, however it is like giving a dog a snack every day at 5:00 they come to expect it just like when gear manufacturers come here to put out fires about their product we may as well be BSing at the DZ but here it is public...

Hey If you decide against Cali, AZ, or Fla. come to Texas. We jump all winter too. "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.

POOKIE BEAR? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAA. Pookie, said, "I am a rigger/instructor/base jumper/scubadiver VX60 hooking freak...you can call me 'Pookie Bear' " haha "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.

toggle tops do appear to be out of the toggle keepers..that is true. Pablo might have some funky keepers, but you are right. "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.

yup "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.

also on my VX (extra persnickity) seems if I get sloppy putting it in the bag it spins. I have been keeping track of this. one side will open before the other and it will fly that direction. Same thing on my vengeance but less in a hurry if you know what I mean. "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.

He was flying straight. I had one that was only one twist and was really violent. depends on if your connector links are even "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.

also if you do not leave enough line left over after the last stow the snatch force will make the lines taught and as the lines are pulled through the riser chanel they can catch the reserve container and spin the D bag. I leave 18-24 inches...so do many of the pro swoopers (mind you loading a canopy at 2.2 or higher can make it really sensitive at openeing). ramon "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.

And hang with us.

we're just poking fun I'm sure there are worse people. besides there is also George Galloway marketing building escape base canopies to wuffos within weeks after 9/11... not to kick a dead horse or anything. This is the same guy that has a recall on his raven reserves that they refuse to call a "recall" however once it is due for a repack you are not allowed to jump it untill you pay them to fix it they won't do it for free..but hey it is not a recall just a mandatory stop usage until you get a modification.
