    Tipping

    tipping ? isn't that what you do with cows ? scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  2. I didn't know about the factors, but from the 1st second, he didn't "look right"... And IMO guns should be pulled from wannabe's... scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  3. can anybody help me identify this object ?? scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  4. the way I saw the video, it seems that both jumpers are at fault. One for not respecting the planned landing direction The other one for overtaking by his last turn. Lower canopy has right of way doesn't it ? And doing very little to avoid the possible collision just to prove that he is right. Both jumpers don't seem to have heads on a swivel. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  5. actually the dutch was suspended for cheating. Did Larry just pull the plug ? scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  6. I think there are 2 or 3 americans. The rest are Aussies, Kiwis, French, Italian, Canadian, Brits and Dutch, with a vast majority of Oz + Kiwis scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  7. Guns for the blind ? Aren't you supposed to identify your target ? http://www.examiner.com/article/blind-gun-permit-approval-iowa-stirs-gun-control-ada-debate scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

  9. why the hell do they refer to Oracle Team USA as "The Americans" ? do they not have the crew list ? scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  10. Kaboom TNZ 3 Oracle -2 there has been some beautiful racing and matching here. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  11. NOT him, he never mentioned anything about engineers scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  12. I don't really care who wins, just as long as Larry loses.it is going that way. Can't wait for today's races scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  13. TNZ 2 - Oracle -2 great work by TNZ, Oracle sailing great too, but Kiwis seem to be on the good track to bring the Cup back to reason against the cheaters. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  14. you need less flaps with their crappy PC spring scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  15. this sounds like a tension knot. good job on deciding high enough that you didn't want to land it. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  16. that job blows. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  17. on many rigs, specially the bigger sizes, the fabric of the reserve compresses a little, the spring takes a deeper sit in the reserve, leaving more "slack" in the reserve loop, and having rather loose springs. I don't know of many jumpers who do their regular gear maintenance as noted by the manufacturers. With a 180 days limit, the gear gets at least twice a year the chance to have SOME maintenance. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  18. 1 year for most gear. As a general observation, many jumpers do not know their gear enough to go back to the rigger before the year, should the gear need it. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  19. a closet zombie. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  20. The program is called : jumpalot & stick to th sport long enough scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  21. Is this the "old" aerobatics video with a wing breaking and the guy landing ? Iirc it is a semi-fake. Mixing real vid of a real plane with a R/C model clipping the wing and landing scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  22. dang that looks not very exciting to me http://laughingsquid.com/skydiving-in-the-oculus-rift-virtual-reality-headset/ scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  23. Doubtful as the rig is pre skyhook. He just needs a standard left hand side RSLdid you see the piece of gear he has received ? By the description it is the closest I can imagine. Would be more clear with a picture. I know what he needs. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  24. Is it a 9 shaped pin with the lanyard and shackle ? Not a regular straight pin ? Then you probably also need a new reserve handle and cable with th marine eye at the end scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
