    My UN-EDUCATED GUESS would be: 1/ The canopy takes more time to open at sub-terminal 2/ The canopy takes less vertical distance to deploy at sub-terminal Nick "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 actually was (and still is) truly interested in your take on the Basque situation. I may have worded my question too aggressively, but I was really curious. Although any form of terrorism is condemnable, I wonder why you would mention the Basques and OBL in the same sentence. "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 had the same concern before I did my H&P. Everything went just fine. Remember that your fall rate out of the plane is nowhere near terminal, so if you take a five seconds delay, you will probably be only about 500ft lower than your exit point. I've always heard (and tested positively) that the best exit in this case is facing the relative wind (which would be the prop blast in this case). Out of curiosity though, if your hard deck is 3,500ft, how high do you usually pull?

    That or a Neck Brace. Also, switching to a BF that doesn't pretend to be a suction cup will help in the future... "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."

    Since you seem to be an expert, how much do you know about the Basques? Just wondering. "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 is, yet a good one. My favorite was a video (posted on skydivingmovies.com), under the BASE category, titled "Track or Die Hard", which would make (most) people drop their jaw!!! Can't find the link. but will email the Quicktime video upon request. Amazing...

    Isn't that the "draft dodging" of the rich? "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."

    That's exactly its design. Not to save innocent lives, although such can result from a successful decapitation strike. "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."

    There's always Mass... "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."

    Alright, you can stick around... Can they really make it retroactive and void it? Since it was legally performed... "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."

    Ron, it's hard to read your story and not laugh, mostly because of your avatar... "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."

    Uh... no they're not. They are meant to take the enemy's current leadership "out". 2 of the Husseins are dead; the 3rd one is put away. Shit is still happening there... "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."
  14. Frenchy68
    Bingo. Tested that theory. Twice... "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."

    If I rename myself after a funny Spanish word, can I become a Greenie too? I could handle the "self-induced malfunctiuns" forum... Congrats Tonto. Your life as you knew it has just ended...

    Fresh meat... OK, I'll volunteer. I'd do the DZ.com newbie... "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."

    OK. Welcome to DZ.com. Now enough civility and kneel. I am the BARON out of their tree. That pretty much makes me your pimp... ¡Nick! "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."

    Raw chicken. My mom had it in some lemon marinade overnight. Came home drunk and starving, had myself a couple of drumsticks. Then I proceeded to brush my teeth with hemorrhoid cream...

    None that I have heard of, but since I probably have not heard of ALL skydiving helmets manufactured, I was leaving myself a margin of error...

    This thread is a click away from heading to the Speaker's Corner... Uh, nah! I'll pass for now "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."
