  1. Phone number pimp ? Does that mean you're willing to sell the number ? Remi Muff 914
  2. Should be an interesting thread! I'm a tame one.... 1) What is the lowest you have intentionally exited an aircraft (i.e. no emergency, fallout etc)? about 2500 (tame I told ya.....) 2) What is the lowest you have gone WayLow intentionally (i.e. no loss of altitude awareness) ? about 1500 3) What is the most stupid/dangerous thing you have done in freefall? 3 way sit with only 3 or 4 sit jumps (had a blast too... body surfing)... i guess going to Quincy and doing (or trying to do) 15 ways with 70 jumps wasnt too smart either.... 4) What is the closest you have come to killing yourself? that stupid premature opening on exit.... not realy an intentional stupidity though.... 5) What gives you the biggest kick? not sure I get your question... do you mean "what BAD things do you enjoy most"? 6) How many times have you been grounded? none (BOOOORING.. told ya) 7) How long is the longest grounding 8) What do you get grounded for? 9) Any other comments………………….. I think we all have a skeewed view of the past when it come to "the good old days" (before my time)... I'm sure we all feel that things are more controled now, and they probably are, but the impression we have that things are not as BSBD as before probably come from the fact that what we remember from the past are the rememberable parts.... the boring regular jump stories wont make part of the collective memory... just my thougths....

  3. Thx for the clarification Rob! My local rigger though it was steep... and since I never bough spares before , I took his word at face value.... I think he was comparing to Javelins (pure speculation on my part) or PDF (but then PDF seams quite cheap in the UK compared to US gear). Remi Muff 914
  4. From the press. Skydiving, Issue 243, page 26 "Over a period of months, the company developed and implemented various fixes- different trims and different panel shapes..." ... fair enough, it does not mention the nose itself, and I'll be happy to modify my previous statement... They've been changing the design (not specifically the nose). And from the observations of others who have posted on this forum (you can do the search yourself). Remi Muff 914
  5. emma: meeeeeeeeeoooooooooowwwwwwwwwww pfffft pffffft!!!!! And 3: in the saddle at 2.2 !!!! thats high! lol... now all these threads about rules start to make sense! hope you dont stay out of the skies too long.... you can always change countries and fake a new logbook/identity (not that I would know anything like that.... no way.... nope) Remi Muff 914
  6. ...mmm.....just a wild though.... have you tried to call them? Remi Muff 914
  7. Yes, I know jumping has risks. yes I've read my labels and understood what they mean. I also understand that they are there to protect company's from trigger happy lawers. What I also know is that if i purchase gear, it should be made right. The fact that the nose of the Crossfire has been constantly changing to address whatever issue does not sit well with me. To me, sounds like the design was not stable. Also, now claiming that lots of canopies actually fall outside manufacturing specs and tolerences scares me. What kind of process was in place to check quality? So as a consumer, I see a product that appears not mature, and that has poor quality. Makes my choice for my next canopy easier. Remi Muff 914
  8. The reflex is not manufactured anymore (so I assume you meant one as a used rig). I have one, like it very much, but was gobsmacked by the price of spares! I had a reserve ride last month and lost the freebag, and chi-chink!!! about $300 Remi Muff 914
  9. This is getting more and more interesting my the week! Lets just hope everybody is doing the right thing and no one gets hurt.... Remi Muff 914
  10. If anyone want more "coverage" of the Bra jump Emma took part in, the October issue of the BPA mag has it! Remi Muff 914
  11. Saw the same post on wreck. And George does have regular posts there (or at least had.. it had been a while since I noticed one).... Looks legit.. allthough I didnt find such a statement on Precision's site. Which leads me to a suggestion: George, if in deed this is Precision's official position, can you make that statement on your website, this way there will not be any guess as to the authenticity. Remi Muff 914
  12. langar it is... Karen's rig is with John (awaiting a new repack later this month) and we left it with him.... otherwise some crew at hinton would have been a laugh! Remi Muff 914
  13. you know me all too well Ben... I sure cant take any heat.... and my pure competitive nature couldnt handle it! PS: I'm a RWer.. we dont bust moves..... well, we try not to.... PPS: where can you find good ribs in Empuria?
  14. thx for the offer.. but we'll only be there from the 21 to the 26 December.... Remi Muff 914
  15. MMMM.. dont know whether to say "Welcome to dz.com George", or to say nice troll Mystery Man! either way, should be fun! Remi happy to jump a stiletto.... Remi Muff 914
  16. I'm sure if one does a thorough search of the forum, one could find a couple of old links to some racy pics of the sis..... Remi Muff 914
  17. expecting company? slut.... have fun (with the skydiving that is... lol) ! Remi Muff 914
  18. mmm... he might be a cool guy... but.... A SHOE JOURNAL ?????? Remi Muff 914
  19. another way to make small changes in the direction of the canopy is to use the harness: just shift your weight on the side you want to turn into. Remi Muff 914
  20. Hi All, I know I teased about maybe going to FLA at Xmas, but vacation availability forced us to only take one day off.... so going all the way to the states wasnt an option for 5 days off... Anyways, who else will be at Empuria for Xmas? Remi Muff 914
  21. Clay, is that what your girlfriend is doing to you? lol Remi Muff 914
  22. PS: I dont base.... Remi Muff 914
  23. ahhhh!!!! the basis of every good relationship..... and of course, you can be 100% sure that it will never get out!!! after all, she'll be a skidiver once she finishes her AFF, and therefore she'll spend time at DZs... and we all know how tight lipped jumpers are.... LMAO PS: Ben: if she isnt keen on BASE jumping, tell her she doent have to.. she can be the ground crew! lol Remi Muff 914
  24. LOL.. I'm the same ... that why I always use http://www.xe.net/ucc/ Remi Muff 914
