    But doesn't flying in a straight line potentially puts at least one of the jumper into the next group's kill zone? Meaning one of them may end up flying alogside the jumprun. Just wondering.

    Whoever worked on that photo needs to take a Photoshop seminar! "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

    It's about time Good one though, as always

    In my (personnal) book, unless it's my reserve, a "partially functioning" canopy is not a landable canopy and will get chopped away. Unless I know I can fix it prior to reaching my hard deck (ie line twists). Once again, good job.

    That's what I was taught as well in the US. Slow right hand turn. But I have heard other US jumpers claiming that the best course of action is a hard spiral Quite confusing. I'll stick with the slow turn. I have a hard time believing that anything hard+low visibility=safe. But maybe I'm wrong...

    I won't argue with that Some among Pakistani, probably. Musharaf? Wants him out as much as we do. Part of the problem I'm sure you could get a deck somewhere. I don't think he heates freedom. I think he doesn't give a rat's ass about it. Then he's already being punished somehow That rat bastard! Because most people who are that badly wanted have the bad habit of hiding and not giving themselves up...

    Fresh baguette, butter, saucisson and sliced cornichons. Chased with a glass of absinthe. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

    Good job. In my extremely limited experience, you did the right thing. If you can't figure out what's wrong and you're getting spinned around, don't spend the precious little time you have left trying to wonder what could be done. I chopped my canopy once, and to this day I still don't know what was wrong with it. But it sure was trying to race me to the ground. Although I would assume you are jumping a lightly loaded canopy, some malfunctiuns can get worse by unstowing the toggles. At least you lived to talk about it and buy beer Listen to what your instructors say, and live & learn. See you in Perris... Edited to add: don't be offended if this thread gets moved to the safety and training forum

    I just got mine. You have no idea... "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

    ...wearing your Barbarella outfit? "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

    I thought so!

    Argh! Waited for you there, and waited, and waited... The drinks were getting warm! And many apologies, there's only one HookitT! Happy B-Day (or is it Bidet?)
  13. Frenchy68
    Uh... Hookit ventured into the Speaker's Corner, and is stuck there! Will someone go and fetch him? "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

    Fine, be that way Grab a chair, a cocktail, and join me into enjoying the slugfest

    Hmmm... I wouldn't read too much into it. Except for the good old "I'm still around, fuck you!" message Would you let your decision of whom to vote for be affected by this video? He's smarter than some people give him credit for. I believe his message was geared towards his followers rather than towards any potential voters.

    Happy birthday!

    Yep. You learn that right after the "toilet seat thang" and "cool muddy feet on the coffee table routine".

    Secret. I could tell you, but I'd have to kill you "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

    Well, you're assuming that we know where he is. The Russians spent 10 years trying to sort shit out and take out specific targets. And they were showing a lot less restraint than we are. They still came up empty. Afghanistan is not your regular terrain. US troops have little, if any, control over territories outside of Kabul. Warlords, tribe elders, etc... are in charge. Good luck...

    Took another one of them blue pill Brits? "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

    I agree with Tuna. And Musharaf would love to get rid of BL as well, but can't show as much zeal tracking him down as we would like him to. His regime is quite fragile. Imagine the fundamentalists taking over these cute little nuclear warheads... That may explain why we are supporting his dictatorship, and don't put much pressure on him.

    I myself do not lose any sleep trying to do so. I don't believe in god, period. However, it seems there is a concern among some religious circles that one can not have a scientific approach to the world and still have faith in the existence of a god. I don't think one negates the other. I know many scientists who do believe in God. They tend not to adhere to the "creation" theory though.

    " Now, a clever man would put the poison into his own goblet, because he would know that only a great fool would reach for what he was given. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool, you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me. ....... You only think I guessed wrong - that's what's so funny. I switched glasses when your back was turned. Ha-ha, you fool. You fell victim to one of the classic blunders, the most famous of which is "Never get involved in a land war in Asia", but only slightly less well known is this: "Never go in against a Sicilian, when *death* is on the line.".
