    thought it would say you have mail when someone sends you something....do you have cable connection or dial up... "Believe me! The secret of reaping the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment from life is to live dangerously!" -- Friedrich Nietzsche
  2. Paragliding sounds like a blast...How long are you up in the air? Last year I went snow skiing at Copper Mountain Resort in Colorado. We were skiing and a canopy came over our heads.. it was cool but sure bet it they were freezing their asses off. They used the ski lifts to take them to the top so Sounds like their ride to the top was much better than the truck ride from hell... Sweet send more pics if you have um "Believe me!

  3. ya know I was thinking... if you want to get rid of it the best way and smartest way would be to contact a school in your local area and see if there is a student that needs an instrument. Nothing better than to sell it to someone that could be the next kenny G.... "Believe me!

  4. hey man...pm me with a pic...I have played for 11 years and may be able to help you out if I can see the condition.. "Believe me! The secret of reaping the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment from life is to live dangerously!" -- Friedrich Nietzsche
  5. ok phillyKev I may have been out of line,... I am sorry. I just cant stand to see someone say such a thing when I have been over there to fight for the country and cant understand why someone would formulate such a conclusion "Believe me! The secret of reaping the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment from life is to live dangerously!" -- Friedrich Nietzsche
  6. Man that really sucks. I have never traveled with my rig but am going to virginia beach next summer with the rig. hopefully i dont run into trouble like you. I run into trouble all the time with the airlines with my hand gun. I can check it but for some reason they always hassel me about even having it checked. I think they just like causing trouble "Believe me! The secret of reaping the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment from life is to live dangerously!" -- Friedrich Nietzsche
  7. I think this statement to be very unsupported. Bin Laden if he is still around wouold do what he could to attack any western culture. Bush is the man... "Believe me! The secret of reaping the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment from life is to live dangerously!" -- Friedrich Nietzsche
  8. I have been all over the world lately and I have got the impression just opposite of yours. Bush is very popular in Romainia for example. Bush has done something that most would have been afraid to do. He got rid of the next Hitler. "Believe me! The secret of reaping the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment from life is to live dangerously!" -- Friedrich Nietzsche
  9. OK pccoder...fuck off. You think that our president would go and do such a thing. You have got to have some serious problems. "Believe me! The secret of reaping the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment from life is to live dangerously!" -- Friedrich Nietzsche
  10. Roman Catholic and thanks to God I am alive. Almost hit someone the other day...not good. "Believe me! The secret of reaping the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment from life is to live dangerously!" -- Friedrich Nietzsche
  11. Tarus PT 140 Millennium 40 cal. I carry it but also own a sig pro PT 2340. 40 cal as well. to large to carry durring the summer but good range weapon. The tarus is just a carry weapon.

  12. Quit the bitching and just jump outta plane... that solves everything right "Believe me! The secret of reaping the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment from life is to live dangerously!" -- Friedrich Nietzsche
  13. you really think that someone is taking the money and not putting it toward charity or anything like that "Believe me! The secret of reaping the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment from life is to live dangerously!" -- Friedrich Nietzsche
  14. Doesnt matter at all...its the thought that matters. People are supporting our troops....
  15. I watched someones video the other day and loved it. I consisted of just about every disipline. Exits and RW were my favorite. Mostly just little clips of landings. anything is really cool. "Believe me! The secret of reaping the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment from life is to live dangerously!" -- Friedrich Nietzsche
  16. Sounds like you are getting plenty of advise out there. What little advise that I can give you from my very limited experience I have is this... what I do is just relax it a turn and let gravity help my arch...my arch needs work but when you begin the turn take your time and make it count. Slow turns allow you more time to get it right, unless you really want to get turned around to look at your wonderful coach. "Believe me! The secret of reaping the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment from life is to live dangerously!" -- Friedrich Nietzsche
  17. Go to a new dropzone. Sounds like the DZ has more in mind than keeping students happy. "Believe me! The secret of reaping the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment from life is to live dangerously!" -- Friedrich Nietzsche
  18. When I started jumping i used to regular DZ student helmet and the small bits of plastic to cover my eyes. I wear contacts to see the LZ and on my aff jump where you learn forward and backward loops I had a the goggles lifted slightly off my face and air took my left contact. Not good hard to see with one contact in. After that I started wanting a full face helmet. Bought a Z1 about a month ago and love it. No air touches my eyes and I can see so much better. Quiet tooo. Love the full face... "Believe me! The secret of reaping the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment from life is to live dangerously!" -- Friedrich Nietzsche
  19. not really sure if I passed at 8...I know i didnt have to redue any of the jumps but no one ever said to me you passed AFF. I am now almost done with my A license card with 19 jumps so I cant accuratly answer your question. "Believe me! The secret of reaping the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment from life is to live dangerously!" -- Friedrich Nietzsche
  20. Man I wish I had a professor who was alive enough to go out and be a little crazy!!! "Believe me! The secret of reaping the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment from life is to live dangerously!" -- Friedrich Nietzsche
  21. sweet . I hope I have a kid like yours. That would be a dream come true. Thats awsome. Congrats to both of you and good luck in the future. i have always admired the military skydivers so I see what she is so excited about. I admire the PJs where I am stationed at currently. Good luck and Blue Skies! "Believe me! The secret of reaping the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment from life is to live dangerously!" -- Friedrich Nietzsche
  22. To me the Home DZ is were you feel at home. People accept you and you have fun. That is what it is to me and you could always find a new home. "Believe me! The secret of reaping the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment from life is to live dangerously!" -- Friedrich Nietzsche
  23. DZ should sell them "Believe me! The secret of reaping the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment from life is to live dangerously!" -- Friedrich Nietzsche
  24. yup, me college edukated, thats why I jump from a perfectly good airoplane. Im an Oklahoma State College Student. Im just starting in the skydiving thing but think that I am going to be crazy in the air just as much on the ground. I think that your on to something. There needs to be more young people brought into the sport. I am the youngest at my dz and im 22. All the others are maybe 10 years older. Not a bad thing but its nice to have someone your age around. "Believe me! The secret of reaping the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment from life is to live dangerously!" -- Friedrich Nietzsche
  25. Im not to qualified to answer this question but I can certainly help you to understand. From what I know the drogue chute is designed to create more drag and lower your terminal velocity which is making your decent much slower and offers a softer opening. The pilot chute is thrown out to grab the wind and create drag to pull the canopy out of the container. When you are soloing you arnt pulling a drogue chute. If I am wrong someone correct me but I am just using basic physics for the reasoning. "Believe me!
