  1. Don't call me Sir I ain't that fucking Old. By the way your a guy right? Why does your avatar look like a shedevil? MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have. We must live life to the fullest EVERY DAY. Everything we do should have a greater purpose.
  2. Been there done that Stole the T Shirt... What is pictured is childish humiliation. If you think its funny ok, I thought pissing on the first person to pass out was too. But was 20 years ago. I had no regards for anyone other then myself and could care less about humilliating another human being. Guess I am getting old....

  3. Fucked Up...Not even funny. We did that shit in high school. How old are you guys? Dude with the little dick should have kept it in his pants. Karma is a mutha fucker and he ...well never mind looks like he has already been punished.. Glad I don't drink MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have.

  4. My Thoughts exactly. If god forbid something bad happened to a student this guy was with you wouldn't be saying well don't be to hard on him he might not have known it was dangerous, maybe we should ask him if he is sorry and just slap his hand.. You would be out for BLOOD Ron..So who are you and what did you do with Ron? MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have.

  5. Yeah but when your try to use your Main to save yourself from the "Blown Up" reserve it will still be attached where that video was of a guy trying to get rid of his main he cut away that was tangled with his reserve. But that could be a good thing though. It would keep you focused on something other then the crater your about to make MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have.

  6. SWEET! We are trying to (get someone) to organize a Pops Record Jump and some 20 ways. The Utah Pops is only 13 so that should be very doable. Oops I highjacked agian huh?

  7. That is debatable. I don't care how much time you have you ain't fixing a Main Reserve Entaglement Again it is not like these scenarios have been tested. I wouldn't suggest someome spend alot of time thinking about this stuff but at least have SOME SORT of plan to keep ya busy. It most likely will be a roll of the dice anyway.

  8. If I had a premie above 6-7 K and my Reserve "Blew Up" I would definatly cut the lines at the links. I wouldn't try cutting the risers but would cut the lines as a group. I am pretty confindent I could get both sets cut in time to dump my main. Under 6 K I would really think about it 5 K and under I would dump my main as low as possible and hope for the best. Reason i would ride the resevere down awhile is less time for it to fuck up. I would use the main for stopping purpose not flying purposes but again there are so many variables that can't be tested I don't think there is a wrong or right answer expect the Golden Rule~ NEVER GIVE UP~ So what ever keeps you busy tell your goggles fill with blood is better then waiting for the ground to swallow you up.

  9. You Vegas People need to come up for the Casa. Oh and nice read on your horseshoe JT. Hadn't seen/read that thread before and glad I did.

  10. 3 1)Tension Knot ~Jump 56 I think 2 & 3) Lineovers. 1 I couldn't clear and the second one I was at/below 2k and chopped without really trying to clear it becuase I was pissed. Good thing it was due for a repack but I still shouldn't have rushed the chop because I was pissed off. MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have.

  11. Yep thats the one. Still using the Container but I put a Sabre 230 in it. I put over 300 jumps on the Lazer. nearly 400 on the container. Not bad for $800 For a big guy the thing opened and flew nice. Canopy is still in good condition and airworthy. Oh and the reserve opens and flys really nice to MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have. We must live life to the fullest EVERY DAY.

  15. That why I don't open that low anymore. This Sabre 230 can take up to 1000' to open sometimes but is usually right about the 800' mark. Previous canopy was pretty consistant at 400' and since it was BIG ASS F111 Canopy it was still pretty soft I was always pitching at 2.5~2k. The Sabre gets scary slow dumping lower then 3 MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have. We must live life to the fullest EVERY DAY.

  18. LMAO Tell you what come to my DZ and tell the packers its sad that lazy people don't packand your gonna get all of us "Lazy" people to pack for ourselves. . I got grand in my pocket that says you end up duct taped nekkid and placed in the peas until you change your mind. MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have.

  19. Dude you should be careful who your calling ignorant. If your going to use your anology, it is like the Baseball surperstar not WASHING his uniform not like paying someone to run the bases. If your gonna use an anology at least get it close. Not sure if your just trying to throw your chest out proclaim your a big bad skydiver OOHHH AHHHH Packers provide a SERVICE which they agree to perform in exchange for $$$$. Just as your mechanic,barber etc. There is a reason the FAR reads like it does because just like any other profession that is supplying a service in exchange for $$$ there HAS to be a level of proficeincy and saftey and some sort of supervision/accountabillity MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have.

  20. Your scenario is one of Choice. SOrry but if your making $270 a WEEK thats a choice. The packers at my DZ have JOBS they pack 2-4 days a week as the DZ is open wed,fri,sat,sun. If your sitting around hoping to pack at a "full time DZ" then it doesn't sound very full time if your making $270 a week. Go get a job. I am nto slamming packers nor placing responisbillity for my life in their hands just not going to accept the whining about being under paid. If ti was so terrible you wouldn't do it. Your making TAX FREE CASH so don't try to make it seem soo terrible because if it was you wouldn't give up your jump time to do it. If my knees where in better shape I wuold pack my own and if I was younger would definatly be packing 4 $$$$. Two pack jobs and my knees are swollen and the day is over. I don't pack i'm good for 6-8 jumps. SO stop whining and act like a Highly Trained, Highly Paid Proffessionla. Sounds like Packing Cathy has that figured out and the rest of you should learn from her. As for Sparky and John and Airtwardo. You guys been doing this along time and I respect what you guys have to say and I understand that you paid your dues and are old school but don't try the guilt thing on me. I don't pack for a reason. I am happy to budget pack jobs into my jumping. I would have half the jumps I have if not for packers. I'm 40 years old with the knees,neck and back of a 65year old. Not matter how much shit ya give me I ain't packing unless it means I am gonna miss a load that I really want to be on then I'll pack it otherwise I'll be enjoying my saturday/sunday afternoons.

  21. I have no Problem with them making that money just as I have no problem paying to have someone else change the oil in my car. I don't enjoy it and see no reason to do it when there is someone trained and willing to do it. If the price was unreasoable or the service was unavailable/unacceptable then obviously I will handle it myself but I find the price a win-win for both parties.

  22. My comments are in regards to the people that think packers are 1. underpaid and 2. that you shouldn't expect anyting other then them putting it into the bag. i.e. your paying for putting it in the bag not the opening. As I stated early in this thread I wouldn't blame a packer for a Mal unless it was obvious but when a packer stuffs my shit in the bag and I get a slammer (Sabre 1) I will talk with them or like last weekend when the same kid that packed my first line over packed a second that concerns me. Dismissing it as well you only paid for the pack job not the opening is bull shit. At that hourly rate you are being paid as a Highly Trained proffessional ACT/PERFOM Like one..

  23. ROFLMFAO. Yeah right. SO if you take your car in to get new tires and the fucker falls off when you get on the free way you shouldn't be pissed cuz you only paid to put it on not to fucking stay on...My packers make more per hour then I do. I know I pay my packers 6-7 per pack job and it takes them less then 10 minutes to pack my rig so thats nearly 40 fucking dollars an hour. Yeah for that I expect the shit to be done right. How many of you make that an hour? I do not get this mentallity that it is ok to make $40 per hour and NOT be expected to do it right..WTF is up with that?

  24. Dude you ever been to Vegas in the summer? I was born and raised and will tell a dust devil sure can flip a plane. I watched one pic up a peice of 3/8" plywood and take it up several hundred feet in seconds. I can only imagine one catching the wings of the plane...

  25. My Neck hurts all the frigging time. All day every day.I have progressive osteo-arthritisis or thats what the chiropractor said after my LAST car accident. (my X-ray look like a picture of dying coral) Doc said nothing he could do before I started jumping so not gonna go ask if I should be jumping. Besides my neck feels so much better after a High Speed Adjustment Oh what should you do? Hell I don't know but I'd jump unless you got a lawyer trying to get you some cash out of the train wreck.
