Q: What's old and wrinkled and smells like ginger? A: Fred Astaire's face. Leave me alone, I've had a rough morning. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Hoping to set a personal record for the largest formation to ever float out of the top on me. Mich Ultra and Bud Lite it is. Of course, that means more Sierra Nevada for me. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

As I have received tentative approval to foray to North Carolina, I would like to add my name to the list: 1. Mouth 2. Raefordite 3. TonyT 4. Sunshine 5. PhreeZone 6. SkymonkeyONE 7. Dragontail 8. MonkeyLip 9. DaGimp 10. Lou Diamond 11. Mujie 12. Mischo 13. Somebody 14. Beemertec 15. flyhi ??? slotperfect Have read through the posts, and cannot find the specifics of this soirée. In particular, how much beer for the buy-in? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Realizing there is no approved solution here, but I guess I always thought that going to doublefronts at the end of a snap was merely a salvage move on a mistimed swoop. Granted I have found myself doing it because it allowed me to snap higher and give me a cushion at the bottom, i.e. if I was on or too high, I go to the double fronts, if too low, just don't do the double fronts. I thought the safety margin it offered meant less probability of having to dig it out at the end. Empirically, that has been validated. So which is faster, a perfectly timed snap that planes out at

No need. Just go airlocked. I fly more in the first 15 seconds after I toss than the rest of the jump total...but I still love my Vengeance. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Maybe the magic is just gone out of the relationship. They say that happens after the first year. Happy birthday. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Just checked my Emails and PM's and laurengreg is not Nick, Buddy, or Meat. I'm clear. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Great pics. Really clear. You might want to tell that guy in the red that if he continues to look up like he is in pic 5, he will continue to move as far away from the formation as he is in pic 6, and it will take him until pic 8 to get back in. I bet he hates the fact that the pictures are as clear as they are. How about posting some of Vic and Connie? I saw one of Vic at that last Byron Boogie, but it would have to be labeled NSFW, if you know what I mean. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Cats will always land on their feet when dropped from my fourth floor bedroom window. Note: I am not serious folks. I have owned two cats. The only two cats in the whole world who were cool. Swear to god. If this post upsets you, please PM Unstable. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

I thought Chuck was from the South, y'all? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

6.4139% includes prorating reserve repacks (assume every 120 days) and ~ $300/year for misc purchases (tube stows, goggles, batteries for Time Out, repairs,...). Does not include travel expenses, entertainment cost, or non-skydiving clothing needing replaced. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Good advice. Flat, trash, pro, or psycho - Our women; our pack jobs Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

The aviation industry conducts training (we do it annually) called Crew Resource Management (CRM). This technique is called Advocacy by Inquiry and is very effective as it does not make the listener defensive, initially. The best example that happened to a friend of mine () was when his copilot asked, "Would this be a good time to put the wheels up?" Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Put your gear in a closet and keep the door locked. That should keep the cat out, unless (s)he is really smart. No thanks necessary. I'm the idea guy. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Rogue tension knot that released when you flared? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Wished I had a dollar... Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Nice cat. How far can you throw it? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

or worse? Married? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

I took a course with Scott Miller at Deland and he had some video of a chick with 40 jumps that were really funny. It made the whole class worthwhile. In answer to your questions: I took the class after I downsized and, that same weekend, was faced with three-days of zero winds. It was very humbling. Scott did an excellent job and his sequence (as best I remember it) was approximately: 1. First Jump - Do what you do. Scott video'd and critiqued the jump. He discussed the entire process from opening to landing to include turns (toggle, riser, harness) and timing and altitudes. 2. Second Jump - Do what you learned on the critique. Briefings proved very beneficial. Did turns under canopy to determine altitudes and affects. Used critique from first jump for straight in landing. In depth critique of video'd landing afterwards. 3. Third Jump - Evaluated altitude lost by riser turns. Tried harness turns. Landed straight-in using previously critiqued improvements. Extended debrief. 4. Fourth Jump - did a 180-degree riser turn with another 180-degree harness turn. Also practiced flat turns at altitude. Used front riser assist on straight in landing approach. Massive debrief of video'd landing. 5. Practiced turns of choice at altitude. Worked on perfecting pattern. Did a ninety degree riser to final approach. All of the debriefs were excellent and highly beneficial. Confidence increased by 113% over the five jumps. I would recommend a canopy course for anyone and Scott's for anyone w/in his vicinity. I don't remember what I paid, but I know it was worth it. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Start with an electric and knock down the big stuff. Then use the shaving gel and manual razors to fine tune. Saves time, money, and skinnage. Good luck and feel the thrill. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Get there early. The sunset loads have been known to go at noon. Eat breakfast or lunch at the Haleiwa cafe. You're up there, might as well see it. No jumping on other islands unle$$ you are ready to pay. It would be cheaper to fly to Oahu for the day. Attached pictures of the view you will have. Stay away from the banana fields. Banana sap stains, I've heard. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Kinda like when Dad use to tease ya with the power tools, huh? You can't buy memories like that. BTW, what does: mean? Congrats and have fun at the boogie. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
