Conundrum

I will probably be out at Perris Saturday but I'm not sure yet. I'll know later this week if I can afford to jump this weekend.

I'm pretty handy in Photoshop, but I'm not sure there's a lot you're going to be able to do with that picture. If I was at home I'd mess with it and see what I could do, but I'm at work.

Wow, that's really awesome! Good luck with the meeting!

No pie OR pool!!! I was shocked and somewhat disappointed. Thanks everyone for the congrats, I had a blast and the jump couldn't have gone better.

haha! See what happens when it rains in socal?

Did my 100th (finally) on Saturday. 13-way, went awesome. Had video and got some pics, thought I'd share! Thanks to everyone at Perris who was on it, and Dan BC for putting it together! I'm in the white suit!

I don't.

Looks like a good detailed description of the canopy to me, not an advertisement. You people are way to anal about stuff, this is the Gear and Rigging forum for crying out loud, and he's talking about gear.

Omg, you mean to tell me she has normal human bodily functions!!?!?! WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO!?!?!

Perris

Not sure what the rules are about dogs at Perris, but I'd love to bring him along one of these days!

it's furry

I'm so damn excited. I've been wanting and looking for Boxers for a long time now, and I found one I fell in love with. His name is Winston and he's 5. I met him about a month ago and today I get to pick him up! He's from a rescue organization.

I listen to di.fm daily while at work, all day. The trance channel plays some of the best trace ever.

I was 13 and my best friend Elena lived across the street from me. Our nieghborhood was on the edge of a huge canyon, great for hiking. We used to go all the time. Her backyard was actually part of the canyon so we'd simply hop the chainlinked fence and have some fun. There's a waterfall back in the mountains and we were determined to find it, so off we go. Through bushes and climbing on our bellies through muddy terrain because there was no other way to go, we finally got to a clearing. Problem was, to get to the other side, we had to walk across this really skinny, sandy edge of a bg drop off. No problem, right? We knew what we were doing. Elena starts her way over and about half way across, the dirt below her feet gives way, she falls and begins sliding down towards the edge of the cliff, but liuckily grabs onto a little bush sticking out the side. I leap onto my belly and reach for her. Of course, the branch she's hanging onto rips out of the ground and we are both screaming, no one can hear us of course, we are in the middle of nowhere. Just a second after she yanked the bush out, I grabbed her hand, but I thought there was no way in hell I'd be able to pull her up. I was scared to death, all this happend in less than a minute. Finally, we find a way to get her back up. We sat there in the mud for a second to re-evaluate what the hell we were doing. We decided to go back home. We never told anyone about it.

Holy crap! hahahahahhahahaha! http://abfhm.free.fr/basket.htm

Not a fan of the rain.

I don't know much about the Army Reserves but I know someone who is thinking of joining and being a pilot and I'd like to know more about it from people with experience in it. What does it entail exactly? Do you have to go through basic training? What are the chances of getting called to active duty? How much do you have to be away from home? How long are you enlisted for? 4 years? I've looked it up a little bit online, but it's always better to hear info from people actually participating in something. Thanks

I did it in the parking structure of the Virgin Megastore years ago. heh.

I was in Vegas over the weekend and yes, they had snow, within the city limits. It was.... weird.

Before I bought my own main, I was renting a Pilot from Square1. Great canopy, I loved it. I came upon a deal on a Triathlon that I just couldn't pass up. I bought it. First time I jumped it, come flare time, I ate shit. It flies much different than the Pilot and I had a hard time finding the right flare point on the Tri compared to what I was used to with the Pilot. I was landing badly everytime for a while. For Christmas, I got a new Pilot. () I'm somewhat nervous about going back to the Pilot, Im afriad I'm going to have to re-learn how to land it like I did when I got the Triathlon and I'll be crashing. Anyone have experience with going from one canopy to another then back to the original one? Is it "like riding a bike"? Sounds dumb probably, but I'm just nervous because I had some pretty crap landings giong from one to the other and Im worried about going from one to the other, again. Thanks

I'm slightly under my wingloading according to that chart.

No, you're not.
