  1. I got him/her. Sort of. Since we're down to a few pixels I had several options picked out - but that one showed the rope. If I'm not mistaken they're about 4 piches under the nose, right? t It's the year of the Pig.
  2. Moderators have every right to post their opinion. If you feel that the work on this site should exclude the benefit of enjoying it - you're dreaming. You can phrase things any way you like. It certainly looked like a personal attack to me. t It's the year of the Pig.
  3. I judge that the 100 jump wonder jumping a canopy loaded to the gills is going to be moaning when we ask him if he can move his toes after a landing that pushed dirt up his nose. t It's the year of the Pig.
  4. And the remaining 20% are not Buddhist. Less than 4% are, which is still a bunch of a Billion people... t It's the year of the Pig.
  5. Gotta try! t It's the year of the Pig.
  6. I dont know if its a rush or not. Well... I don't know either - exactly. I've been shot at - and I shot back - and I won (2 - 0) and that was a rush! (You need to win your first gunfight if you ever want to win another..) I think the waiting.. while they get all their stuff ready and you're standing around... that's got to get your knees wobbling thinking about how you're going to get out of this one - and coming up blank.! t It's the year of the Pig.
  7. I see no one has said Adidas.... All Day I Dream About Skydiving! t It's the year of the Pig.
  8. I used to jump in flipflops. Even easier is putting a rubber band (the big kind) around your big and second toes. Just as secure (at least it was for me), and a lot more comfortable. Wendy W. Yeah. But you're a girl. We'd lose the rubber bands... t It's the year of the Pig.
  9. Your religion's as bad as his geography! Hindu info here! t It's the year of the Pig.
  10. Well... We have no death penalty... and I'm OK with that. I like the idea that they're locked up while I see summer coming and head for the DZ. It's a time trap. Incidently, I'm with you on the firing squad. I'd like to stand - and I'd like to watch. That's gotta be a rush - knowing what's coming. t It's the year of the Pig.
  11. Well... if you've read it... its not secret anymore... t It's the year of the Pig.
  12. With you here. I figure of eight it so I can position the knot where I want it. t It's the year of the Pig.
  13. There are more ways to break your legs than swooping. More performance puts the control in the hands of the jumper. Less in the hands of those governing the spot, conditions, etc. Just a thought. Use it - don't use it. t It's the year of the Pig.
  14. You're here. That means you made the right call. In SA, jumping through cloud is not illegal. If our DZ were near a mountain, higher elevation, large lakes etc, I'd have a problem with GPS spots through cloud. It's not, so I don't. Stay within your limitations. Let others stay within theirs, even if theirs exceeds yours. Blue Skies, t It's the year of the Pig.
  15. Your Geography sucks dude... Yak info t It's the year of the Pig.

    Ditto... t It's the year of the Pig.
  17. You may want to put a bungie round the bit between the toes - and loop that over your big toe. Works great on anything other than large linked exits off a tailgate. Me - Island Styles. I have a large scar from losing the skin off the top of my foot after a swoop about 11 years ago. I wear shoes and gloves now. t It's the year of the Pig.
  18. That's certainly more likely. Sorry if I over reacted - I'm just so tired of beer swilling oafs jumping on the "I have great genes" master race band wagon... t It's the year of the Pig.
  19. Don't get married dude... Nomatter how good she looks - you're only with her cos some other dude couldn't take her shit anymore, and if you're tired of the script... wait till you spend 20 years with the narator... If someone paid me good money to read bad nursery rhymes to skydivers... I'd do it. It's all about the money. Anything that pays for airtime is goood. t It's the year of the Pig.
  20. That's if they left because they were adventurous. Maybe they just couldn't cut it and ran away. They also never all turned white. Some turned yellow. Still others went to Oz and stayed black. Whenever I hear theories about how adventurous and intelegent white hetrosexual males are - I'm reminded of how they desimated just about every culture known to mankind. The next time you think you have better genes than other humans, read Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies publisher: W.W. Norton & Company author(s): Jared Diamond t It's the year of the Pig.
  21. I hope you know that those "ancient white people" you're refering to were black when they left africa some 60 to 40 000 years ago. The physiological and visual differences of race are a very recent change - having occured within the last 40 000 years. Physiologically, we are unaltered in the last 20 000 years. If you took a child from 20 000 years ago and put them in a crib - no one would notice the difference. We're just tool users. Club, knife, cell phone, rig. Just tool users.

  22. It's a script, dude. He's just reading what some dude wrote, not making it up as he goes along... It's the year of the Pig.
