2.5 min for 9000ft on a Classic? Sounds like you're already acheiving the impossible! t It's the year of the Pig.

Who are you and what have you done to Rhino! t It's the year of the Pig.

I said I was afraid. You said you were scared. Yoda said "Fear leads to anger - Anger leads to hatred - Hatred leads to suffering." I guess Yoda was right... t It's the year of the Pig.

You're the emotional reserve, well packed, and well maintained - and you've just threatened not to work. Her relationship will not last. Not the way she's behaving, anyway. t It's the year of the Pig.

It's just a point of view. One shared by many living outside the US, and filled with generalisations. I'm just afraid of what Bush will do in his second term. A terrorist with one dirty bomb is scary, but someone who has got the world at war, old allies at each other's throats and has more than doubled the oil price as a result of it - with almost limitless power - is a lot scarier for those of us on the outside. t It's the year of the Pig.

I don't think so. I'm over 50% off your upper limit, and double your lower one. I know of and have jumped canopies with over 5000 dives on them. t It's the year of the Pig.

Jeez.. Doesn't that hurt? t It's the year of the Pig.

Hi Michelle. Seems I hit a nerve. Read the thread title. There is no argument that will change the truth. The US has an obesity problem, and it's killing thousands of people. t It's the year of the Pig.

Well... I beg to differ. My Stilleto has over 3000 dives on it - only 200 since the last lineset, and lands just like new. I'm loading it to 1.8, but it is packed indoors on carpet. t It's the year of the Pig.

No. You don't live in the world. You live in the US. The rest of the world doesn't run rough shod over other nations. The country where the "World series" has 2 countries playing, both on the same continent. The country where visitors from other countries are refered to as "aliens." The country where you eat too much - even if it is in calories. You're eating 4000 - 5000kj a day. I think that's a lot. It's more than I eat, anyway, and I'm (conversion done for you..) 165lb 5'10. t It's the year of the Pig.

Well - this week I'm following the Catch-and- release program, so you're free to go! Sorry if my post offended you. t It's the year of the Pig.

I think you're a long way off the mark with this. I'm in Africa. If you think money is more freely spent here.. then you don't watch the Discovery channel enough. There is not ONE BMI in Africa. My closest BMI is Australia, Europe or the USA. Since the USA also has a few BMCI's, that's where I'm heading to do my BMI course - Just like I had to go to the USA to do my AFFICC all those years ago. I know from experience that what I will learn, whether or not I pass the course, will benefit MANY jumpers here for MANY years to come. In the overall scheme of things, the price/time difference for you to get to Florida or Eloy or California is nothing compared to what I'm going to spend - and I think I'm getting a good deal. So there are 4 suits in Texas? Over the last 6 months I've built our flock to over 20 suits at our DZ - with another order about to be placed. If you want to make something happen - you will - and Birdman Inc will be right off your wingtip to help keep it safe, and your customers happy. t It's the year of the Pig.

So what's that in Kilojoules - for those of us who live in the world? t It's the year of the Pig.

The fact that I was drafted by the government of the day does not make the statement "however, none have been ethnic cleansers." correct. The US wrote the book on ethnic cleansing and manifest destiny. t It's the year of the Pig.

Same here, although I'm in Africa, but our DZ is also 5000ft ASL so it can be very cold at altitude in winter time. t It's the year of the Pig.

Treason? Check my profile. I'm no american. t It's the year of the Pig.

Wrong. Several were ethnic cleansers. Ask the native Americans between 1840 and 1890. t It's the year of the Pig.

Of course he understands. They're cut from the same cloth. Heavy handed - and always on vacation when their country needs them. t It's the year of the Pig.

And two more in Africa, Casper and Robbie.. both did great! t It's the year of the Pig.

Well... you're close. The slang term "Batting on a sticky wicket" is comparable to "sloppy seconds" on your side of the pond. t It's the year of the Pig.

And sticky wickets.. t It's the year of the Pig.

Well, firstly, you've blown it. Rule 1. Never let anyone else know you know - because now you have a motive. Had you not told us, the next step would be to get drunk with the dude. (Mainly get him drunk.) Once he's drunk, the options are nearly endless. People stumble into each other. They fall down stairs, or into the bonfire. Or they pass out in dangerous places, like under a pick-up, or during a swim or on their backs.. when they've been throwing up. Sometimes, they stumble into the traffic at just the wrong time. If they're not that drunk, often they will accept a dare, like walking along the edge of a building, or retrieving their car keys from a yard with pit bulls in it - where you threw them to keep him safe. I think it's important to use your imagination when it comes to these things. t It's the year of the Pig.

They have failed. You need to add "Battery and Maintenace" to your list. Edit: Sorry - I see others picked up on this too. Didn't mean to flog the dead horse... t It's the year of the Pig.

No. The pilot can be compared to Sabre2 and Safire1 and 2. Not the Stiletto. Aerodyne's Vison would make a better comparison to the Stiletto. t It's the year of the Pig.
