  1. One thing that puzzles me is that you should look under the aircraft and every other axis if possible before jumping. This must take so much time that you have to start looking well before the spot. Is it possible you could miss the actual important hazards such as directly infront and below or off to side of jump run flying across because your starting your check too early?
  2. Scoop

    Monthly pay sucks

    I haven't got any left.... thats the problem Anyway with the rate of exchange due to the strong Great British Pound (* stands and puts hand on heart *) you'll have so many dollars you'll need a wheelbarrow to carry it around
  3. Sounds like a plan. My training and new equipment buy was a struggle. But I managed to do it all with overtime and therefore cash. Good luck with your progress and keep us all updated
  4. Great! Then you can get a credit card/s and pay for your rig
  5. I've been watching this thread evolve and wanna just intrude for a second... Don't you think making such a big deal out of this bill that is being introduced, on a public, internationally accessible forum is just going to reinforce to the parties involved, media out there spying and other local authorities who may be looking into the impact of this, that it would have the desired effect. People are already talking about putting off new jumpers and disrupting the industry. This is exactly what they want to hear. If they know its going to work in preventing BASE jumping then they will do it and maybe not just locally to New York, but more widespread. Whether thats Scoop's chaos theory in action or not I don't know, anyway, I'll drag my sorry ass back to the bonfire now. Stay safe
  6. If you were famous (we'll gloss over the has-been thing) would you wear a shirt of your own branding? Is it me or is that just kinda arrogant?
  7. This is the exact reason I never got a tattoo in foreign. You just know someone would be having a laugh. "yes, it means free spirit" *giggle giggle " why have you got 'cockend' tattooed on your arm?
  8. That is the most inspirational post I have ever read Its true too I feel enlightened. Like how the karate kid must have done when all he was taught came together and he realised why it was all neccesary
  9. There was a classic comment in the match today. One of the Italian guys genuinely badly hurt themselves and fell over holding his ankle. He didnt move and was moaning in pain. The commentator: "Oh yes, that looks genuine. That wasn't like a footballer (as in Soccer) 'I've been blown over by the wind' and then roll over 14 times" As for the NFL game without PPE. I'd like to see that too. It'd be funny. The presence of armour in rugby is getting greater though, paticularly when you look at the Italian team.
  10. I have to say Andy, this could be your best moment to date. This beats all other incidents hands down. Getting caught out like this is the best I cant stop pissing myself
  11. Not forgetting the biggest difference... .helmets
  12. Dude im sorry! That punishment isnt proportionate though. You know how much I really want to see that rig? Fucking weirdo
  13. Yeah they do, the trouble is, alot of the genuinely skilled and experienced skydivers who have proved themselves at high levels of competition are normally good people! No ego at all and give you all the time in the world. Its the people with delusions of granduor who make out they are great that are the arseholes!
  14. Well that was a shit game. Still won though and points make prizes
  15. The only people that make out its a big deal are skygod wannabes with egos the size of houses!
  16. Thanks I had considered 2 handed tuggin' ( ooer missus) but not a line. Give it a go next time im in the air
  17. Anyone else getting really pumped up about the match?! Please, all stand, for the national anthem Unrelated to six nations but I do believe I shit myself a little bit watching this vid of Tonga Vs New Zealand and their pre match showdown *gulp* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkVqZOFHnlk
  18. The best thing about rugby is they play on unless they get really smashed up. Often they get away with just changing their shirts and having a clean up to remove the blood then rejoin the play. In total on the last match Johnny Wilkinson received 14 stitches. That was during and after the game. No substituting off
  19. I think I'm pretty much the same. I might push my cheekyness a little bit furthur
  20. I love the music, very powerful. Similar realms of Massive Attack. As Zeemax says see if you can get away with using it. Its a sahme the little teaser trailer thingy on the website doesn't have more actual footage. The embedded movie player is cool though. Don't know what you used but I've not seen that before. Very nice
  21. THats nothing. When asked what drink I wanted at KFC I asked for Coke. As we left I realised I had a pot of gravy How the fuck could they mistake that. Revenge was sweet (in my younger, non responsible days). Threw the pot up the huge screen window
  22. Since when have you become a fucking diplomat?
  23. It looks surprisingly good as desktop wallpaper
