Check This One Out You'll love this one. Actually they have different colours and sizes. Good luck. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

"Gimme Me Something To Believe In"

Hard to believe it's been 8 years now. I haven't forgotten you. I just trying to remember the good times. You were one radical cat! Love ya bro. See ya on the other side. Oh, mind the angels and stay out of trouble. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

The easiest way to solve this problem is to buy a BoneHead FlatTop Pro. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

I'm overcome. Cool plane! -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

A deployed soldier that get's a living allowance each month to pay for rent/housing. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

Do you intend to install a quick release system, besides the one that is incorporated in the chin strap? Good job though. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

I'm a bonafide crazy soab, type "A" personality. Crazy as a shithouse rat! And i carry a shitload of weapons. I think anyone who jumps out of a perfectly good airplane is crazy to some degree. I also have a couple of 1/4 mile race cars that are crazy fast. Since Scott Kalita's death, i haven't been able to get in the cockpit as of yet. I can't get the visual of the wreck out of my mind. It justs totally f*cks me up. He was one good parachute away from living until that concrete wall at the end of the pit put an end to his all too short life. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

Not a ZenMaster, but my hands are so fast, they qualify for a repeating weapons permit. J/K

Javelin J-4, C-19 / Cobalt 170^2 / WL: 1:5:1. This was my first rig and i had a bad habit of not cocking the PC correctly. (Cazar 24" diameter) Always in a hurry to catch the next flight. Less than 168 jumps. It hasn't happened since i sold that rig and bought a new one and it hasn't happened again. I stand corrected, it was a PC in tow, not a baglock, pardon the oversight. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

One more time. What, is your reading comprehension in the frigging' basement?? And yes, i have cut a PC lanyard with one of my hook knives, I've also cut through risers as well. You know you can buy a $2.98 knive and have nothing, or you can spend close to $100.00 and have something that actually works. But then again you must know your limitations and the limitations of your equipment as well. This will be my last word on this subject, the floor is yours, I'm not concerned with what you'd do although I am concerned with what I'd do. My plans are made, I will not deviate from it. According to the original poster it was wrapped around his leg, so let it "dance" all it wants, it will be easy enough to cut while it's wrapped around your leg. ***If you want to act like 3 hook knives will make your dick bigger, it's literally your life on the line.Quote Listen, I'm 51 years old, ego is long past me, and i've got a great perspective on my mortality so I don't need any further lecturing from you. I've had at least 6 PC's in tow in my time, i didn't pull my cut-away and deploy my reserve, I simply reached around my back and yanked on the lanyard and deployed my main succesfully each time. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

Your opinion, not mine. I gaurentee you i could deploy my hook knife from my chest strap and cut the PC in less than 3 secs. I have made it abundantly clear that this is my plan and have suggested that no one else employ it, why all of the feedback? You do what you want in this situation, and I'll do what i want to do. Deal?

You're freaked out IMHO. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

That's cool if that's your plan. I merely related what I would have done, i made no suggestion that anyone else employ my tactics. Performing EP's before insuring that the main cannot be deployed could, would & may cause a 2 out situation at a very low altitude. I'm more than certain sensory overload would/could cause further complications with no time to deal with a second situation ending in a rather unsavory ending. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

I wouldn't wear that thing to a dog fight if it were the defending champ! -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

You exit at 3,500' AGL, your expereriencing this situation. I'm not going to give you advice, I'm simply going to tell you how I would have dealt with it. First of all time is NOT your friend. I carry 3 hook knives, one on my chest strap, and one on each thigh. If that would have been me (And it never has been) I would have cut the lanyard to the PC and deployed my reserve. I hope you realize how close you came to "going in." You were merely lucky this time. Before each jump, no matter what type of jump it is, always have a backup plan, always have an alternative landing location, and never give up. NEVER. Think of every scenario in your head before boarding the jump ship and make a game plan for each one. I really, really hope you understand the severity of this event could have been for you. Glad you're o.k. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

I checked # 1, the only thing famous about Valentines day is the St. Valentines day massacre. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

I'm sure i'm from his era where "Men Of Honor" had their way of doing things. What you should have done and it appears you did is let him pick up the tab and say simply, "Hey, Good Stuff" Thanks. He expects you to nail his daughter and if you didn't he'd probably be insulted. Ya done the right thing, fuggat about it! -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

F*ck Taco Bell! Their food is shite. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

I detest smoking dope. That said, people who smoke it in an atmospere that won't even affect other's lives, or lifestyles, get after it. The use of this illicit drug is against the law, if you want to take a chance on being a criminal, smoke away. The use of cannibus sativa also increases the onset of lung cancer and a host of other dieseases, Obey by the laws of your state. Prohibit the use of this dangerours drug at all cost where prohibited. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

I know i took one sentence out of your paragraph, but i felt the need to address it. Salvation is not hard to find at all. "Seek ye first the kingdom of god and all of the other things shall be added unto you" Salvation is a prayer away. If you invite Jesus Christ into you life, it shall be done, it's God's promise to us. Simple as that. God is a jealous God. Be ye not decieved: "God is NOT mocked." -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

Read the article in my post above. Thanks. I think you have the KKK and Mardis Gras mixed up.

History Of Mardi Gras Here No matter how or why it started, it is now and has been for years a "Celebration Of The Dead" And they make no "bones" about it. There's a lot of Voo-Doo & Black magic still being practiced there to this day. Trust me, I've worked with them. I've seen it up close and personal. Most unnerving. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

And you mine. This is your opinion, that's cool because you're 100% entitled to it. Although i might not agree with what you say, i will defend to the death your right to say it. Don't make me go "Statistical" on you, because John by far (With Kaelland in close second) Whine & cry and post more stuff about this topic than any other members. Do your own research before responding to his defense. If John wishes to respond in his own defense, that's a different story. Unless your his Private P.C. I can't imigine you stepping in on his behalf. I believe John is an able bodied gentleman and more than capable of speaking for himself. What I do know is John is not the persona at the DZ that he projects in these forums. When i see him on the DZ, he's so different, he's nice, cordial and is the first to help young SkyDivers out. Don't get me wrong, please I love him to death. If as many people cared about me, as do him, maybe JUST MAYBE i wouldn't be in trouble all of the time. I don't know you, but I'd like to do some SkyDiving with you. Take Care. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

I've known John, and of John for over 10 years. We jumped out of the same jumpship for a long time at SDH. Nevertheless, this is a place to certainly whine and cry about things you do & don't like. But jeez, enough is enough. All that to the side, we don't need people bringing these topice WITH PICTURES to everybody and their brother's attention. There are people here looking for just that kind of fodder. As i said, there are proper forums to post this kind of material, where even Dick Tracy couldn't get to the bottom of it. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"
