Scoop

Well, I've really given it some abuse and pulled on the lift web, pinned the container to the floor and pulled it every way I can think of, sudden shocks. I think that within the constraints of movement the fabric will allow, the pin won't move. It does pull the ball right up to the handle, but the pin isn't loaded as you said. With my other free hand I could still pull the ball out from the D handle a good few millimetres. I think I'll still e-mail Wings and see what they advise but it doesn't appear to be of immediate concern. Thanks

They've been taking this very seriously! Big campaigns to improve the image of the place. Haha, I suppse I'd be pissed if someone made up all this crap about my country too

I was wetting myself listening to him at the premier on the radio. Can't wait to see it

Thats what happens when they can't cut it over here anymore, they ship abroad to where the people are more easily entertained, its like a rebirth of a career for them

Yeah annoying aint it. MWAHAHA I hereby request all my fellow countrymen and welsh/irish/scots change their avatars to the union flag! Not Eire though, we don't want you

*SIGH* The sender used USPS standard parcel service, so I suppose it could be anywhere now All I wanted was a pair of boots and I was too stubborn to pay UK prices

Radio one has really overdone the Hoffmania thing. They are accountable for so much

I'm in, just tell me where to PayPal it, but its got to have some profound message to go with it!

Amazing experience. I wish I could go back to that day sometimes, capture the emotions of a first jump again Still, theres plenty more to do in the sport and everytime I do something new, I get a little bit of that feeling again

I'm going to the DZ and will speak to my rigger then but it appears that my reserve cable doesn't have much slack through the D handle. I suspect it might be something to do with either my measuring or my body shape (large) but when I actually do the rig up the length exposed dramatically reduces. I probably only have an inch or so. The pin sits fine in the closing loop, its not halfway down the shaft or anything like that. My concern is that having fun with people holding onto lift webs etc I could suffer a premature deployment. Obviously I don't want that. Are reserve cables various lengths? Do you buy one and have rigger trim it to required length? The rig seems to fit nicely, its very comfortable so I'm not concerned about the fit although I may have measured it a tiny bit too small over the shoulders I think, possibly causing this problem. Its a Wings container with 210 Silhouette main and Maverick 200 reserve. I'll try to post pics to better explain. EDIT: Added photos, sorry they are blurry, seems my camera doesn't like close ups whatever settings I use.

I can't help but gotta say wow dude, I admire your dedication

Flat tyres will make it hard for them to speed

So far I've been waiting for 6 weeks for a delivery from the states. According to the tracking number the item doesn't even exist... which is handy. Another item from within the UK has been 2 weeks and still not received, that was sent recorded delivery! HOW FUCKING LONG DOES IT TAKE!? So I guess I want to vent a little, but also share some comedy. I love this guy and despite me being majorly pissed off, this makes me smile every time... Lee Evans on Parcelforce

Nice to see someone do up a car with a bit of style an know how rather than bolt on fibreglass bits of shit and slam it on big wheels then wonder why it doesn't handle and it accelerates as fast as a tumble weed

Yeah, some sad people do. Try a search for GHB in google. Was a real concern for a while

Now if you die unexpectadely we'll know who to look at first

He would say that because its PC and probably the right thing to be seen to be said, why upset people when we can just appease them instead and get trampled all over? That and half of London is probably muslim and he doesn't want to check his car for bombs every morning before starting it up. He's a politician, its his job to talk shit.

Hush your mout' *sucks teeth*

But I never brush my teeth. Im IN-GER_LISH, yeah baby!

My ears are burning!

Awesome, its stuff like this that inspires me to find money from wherever and whoever I can and jump as much as I can. Its too slow at the moment, way too slow

Cats suck, they piss off all day, come back, eat some food, purr a bit, shit in your sandpit so the kids cant play in it anymore then fuck off again... Then they have the cheek to leave hair (or apparantly not now I read above posts) around which makes my eyes puff up! Rather have a dog anyday than a climby scratchy cat

No but I was going to ask them to sew little badges on their clothing so we could clearly identify them

Ok seriously, I've just had to pick myself up off the floor The imagery there was brilliant and surprisingly accurate!

Yeah, that is the flipside of the coin
