Conversation may go like this: You: I wanted to go take some pix of pink elephants. Wanna come? Cutie: Pink Elephants? Mmm. That's wierd... Why? You: O.K., how about Sunday? Cutie: Are you avoiding my question? What's up with the elephant thing? You: What time's good for you? Cutie: Um - You're being a bit pushy... No. I don't want to go with you. YOu: Great. Let's trade numbers, and we'll talk on Friday, o.k.? Cutie: Please leave me alone. You're a bit strange.. I don't want you stalking me! Stay away from me, OK? I'm always amazed at how many women will sit and wait while oportunities pass them by, while telling every (male) friend they have to go ahead and ask women out. Men stand in line. Women choose. You're in the line. It's her move next. t It's the year of the Pig.

I use a G3 too... no lumbar support or deluxe backpad. Also no movement. I'm sure Mirage will have the info you need. Keep me informed, OK? t It's the year of the Pig.

Sounds like the harness is too big. My G4 doesn't budge regardless of what body position I'm in. t It's the year of the Pig.

About 20 years ago I was jumping a Swift main for around 200 dives. It gave me good landings at that time, although 220 7 cells were then considered the cutting edge of canopy performance. They'll land you just as well now as they did then, but the flare is very fast and not very powerful. Use the forward speed primaraly to avoid obsticals rather than try and fly over them as the glide path is steep. They open FAST and reliably, but can be trick to land if you've only jumped ZP before. Your call. t It's the year of the Pig.

anyone know anything about the Chute Shop 21cell Peregrine ?
Tonto replied to Jumpmunki's topic in Gear and Rigging
Hey. I have about 200 dives on a Perigrine. The later ones, (Around end 1991) had a ZP topskin. They were indeed an Excalibur copy, in that they were "21 cell" and were renowned for their "seek and destroy" type openings and high pack volumes for canopy size. I don't think you could compare it to todays rags. At 700 dives, I'd steer well clear if it were F-111. I sold mine and bought a Jonathan, which was a huge step up - but is completely outclassed by even very old ZP designs like the Stiletto. t It's the year of the Pig. -
That is dorky.

Wrong. There were 16 fatalities. 14 jumpers, 2 crew. http://www.planecrashinfo.com/1992/1992-19.htm http://members.aol.com/jaydeebee1/crash90s.html http://www.ntsb.gov/speeches/former/hall/jh970920.htm t It's the year of the Pig.

Yeah? But you also KNEW there were WMD's in Iraq, so you may be off the mark on a cure for HIV being just around the corner too... I didn't say it couldn't happen. I said I had not seen it happen. I also said that if it did happen, that that person should be told so that they could get antiretroviral treatment. t It's the year of the Pig.
-
I think you're wrong. I didn't say anti viral. I said anti retroviral. If you never get it - you can't have it forever, can you? That's what antiretrovirals do. They help minimise the chance of HIV infection after exposure. Anti -pref opposed to; counteracting retrovirus -n RNA virus forming DNA during replication virus -n organisim capable of causing desease t It's the year of the Pig.

Your right or my right, if we're facing each other? I thought it was the other way round? My right is for cutting away at any time, right? Even if the main is not malfuctioning? Or if I pull the handle and there's no malfuntion it won't release. OK? I'm not sure I want to pull the other handle. I was taught on my first jump course that the handle on my left starts the deployment sequence of my reserve - but you tell me it's for releasing my reserve. I'm not sure if I've already cut my main canopy away, that I'd want to release my reserve as well. That sounds dangerous. You also say "Just in case." Just in case of what? What possible senario would there be for me to want to release (Here the word means, let go, Oxford says "that unfastens something") my reserve? Could you explain this please? I'm very confused now, and I hope I don't have a malfunction before you answer my questions. t It's the year of the Pig.

My thoughts exactly. If by some small chance you do end up bleeding into your student's open wound - and I havn't seen that in 19 years of skydiving - then tell them so they can choose to get antiretrovirals. Otherwise - mum's the word. I admire your courage and honesty. t It's the year of the Pig.

Josh. You reply to my post with a one liner, and then call me a Jackass. Stick to the gear discussion, OK? If you don't want to pay for secondary riser covers, then don't buy a rig that has them, but there's really no need to attack me or call me names because my opinion differs from yours.

This can make it very hard for the student to interpret some hand signals, so those using them should be sure to go through them with the gloves on to ensure the student understands. t It's the year of the Pig.

So you have no reserve in your container, right? I worry about people like you. t It's the year of the Pig.

I didn't shoot anyone down. I answered the post using my experience. You get no taller chopping others off at the knees. PM'd you. t It's the year of the Pig.

I used to have very long hair - that's where the nick came from. Doing 10 dives a day, without a helmet - long hair requires too much maintenance. This is real low maintenance. It's a rock climbing thing. Nails don't work. t It's the year of the Pig.

Mmm. I have my hair cut at the DZ (A No 1) every second weekend between load 1 and load 3. I cut my nails in the bath on Sunday evening, or at work on Monday if I forget. I shave every Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning, and no one notices day 2 anyway. Am I a metrosexual? t It's the year of the Pig.

Go Mirage. 4 weeks, and it could be lying on your living room floor, and no one is going to point out your flapping pin or riser covers on video. t It's the year of the Pig.

What's the largest completed RW formation You've been on?

There was a 126 way in Europe - Belgium, I think, between the 100 way and the 144 way diamond... t It's the year of the Pig.
