    But flying to Venezuela costs money. some of those guys only have trips like that paid for by sponsers..sponser don't want to pay for something with no coverage. I guess there will be an article in Parachutist or Skydiving magazine. Still that is an expensive plane ticket, to not draw random American skydivers to come and watch and look at booths set up by vendors/sponsors. weird

    RESULTS

    Thanks again for the results but... Who the hell hosted this thing and how on earth did they get so many famous hot shots to go when there is no advertiziing or website coverage? I know they did it last year simply because I accidentally found the results last year on someones home page. weird weird... Glad swanson came in 3rd though... ramon
  3. I will have to start over when I get back from abu Dhabi (I won't have my sources). "That is, because of, because of our, that is, we are attempting, the position is to withhold information and to cover up - this is totally true - you could say it is totally untrue." President Richard Nixon, from 1973 Whitehouse transcripts, discussing whether or not to hide evidence concerning the Watergate break in.
  4. I think I have the safest gear vector 3 micron with hard cutawy housing, a cypres, two audibles and an visual altimiter. I am anal as shit about exit order, the spot, and I have learned to gaze at the ground periodically during a freefly to look for canopies, and above me when I track off. but....I could have a jack the ripper knife and...well I could have two jack the ripper knives like super Dave did, althought my camera hlmet is fairly streamlined. - 1 point. I downsized faster than normal and have been slightly hurt and really embarrassed because of it. -2, but whenever I go to a DZ wih less wide opne outs than Spacleand I jump my bigger canopy which I am not afraid to land on a street in between powerlines, or downwind to avoid obstacles (which I have done and can stand up) +.5 So...7.5 I doubt I will ever want a smaller canopy than my fat FX 109 (as I have downwinded it 5mph and stood up and performed braked turns to avoid objects (strange small metal sign)...but until I feel like I could land it between a ditch and a front yard I will be taking an additional risk whenever i jump it. ramon

  12. A new series....humor only "I stand behind all my misstatements" Dan Quayle "Outside of killings, [washington] has one of the lowest crime rates in the country." Mayor Marion Barry "Hawaii has always been a very pivotal role in the Pacific. It is in the Pacific. It is a part of the United States that is an Island that is right here." VP Dan Quayle, during a visit to Hawaii in 1989
  13. I don't think I could abort my child unless the mother might die if we didn't. but... I still hate Bush and Gore and Clinton too I'd like to see Gore, Dubya and dan Quayle play a 3 way 'Chess' death match and have the winner figure out why we need Chlorine in Sewage plants "My fellow astronauts....." Vice President Dan Quayle, beginning a speech at an Apollo 11 anniversary celebration.
  14. Haha Neil Bush never served any jail time for his part in the S&L bail out we are paying for with taxes either. Neil Bush is best known for his business failures -- particularly the collapse of Colorado's Silverado Savings and Loan, of which he was a director. The bank failed in 1988, costing the federal government $1 billion and becoming a much-publicized part of the savings and loan crisis of the late 1980s.
