Jeb Corliss Gets Set For World Record Landing Attempt
Tonto replied to JeepDiver's topic in Wing Suit Flying
2000 ft per min? That's slower than my canopy on full drive. The Sugarglider was developed here - but I've never heard numbers in that range. t It's the year of the Pig. -
Ditto. t It's the year of the Pig.

Safire 1 comments only please. t It's the year of the Pig.

I think your viewpoint is horribly skewed by you being white. This "slipping" during the 1st 4 years of freedom occured simply because the countries available resources were being used by the entire nation - and not the white 20%. Argue away. t It's the year of the Pig.

I'll be there. I'll also be doing some freeflying, and hope to split the day with freefly am, Birdman pm. I'm sure I'll learn tons! t It's the year of the Pig.

How far have you come since your 1st post?
Tonto replied to AggieDave's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I signed on in May 2001. Since then I've done about 1300 skydives - weekends only, of which roughly 1100 have been AFF 100 have been Tandem (I'm no longer doing Tandem) 100 have been Birdman Goals for the very new future.. Go to the US (Next week..) Do more dives Learn to sit Long term goals Do more dives Improve t t It's the year of the Pig. -
That looks worth going to. I'll be in LA for a few days between Eloy and Perris/Elsinore. Maybe... t It's the year of the Pig.

Mmm. Any idea where I can get the specs for that mod? t It's the year of the Pig.

I think he would regret it more if his marriage ends and he realizes he could have done something to save it. Do what ya gotta do to be happy. Giving up skydiving will never save a marriage. You're feeding the monster, and when you have nothing left - it will leave anyway. I suggest you leave skydiving out of discussions with your wife. Talk about both your and her past relationships. Why did they end. If all your relationships end for the same reason - it's not your (or her) partners that are the problem. It's you. (or her.) I've been divorced 9 years now. My ultimatum was "No more World Meets." Ironically, since the divorce I've stopped competition skydiving, but for the last 20 years, the sky has been my constant companion. Never lied, never cheated, never decieved, and has offered rewards I could never have imagined when I began down this road. How many relationships have you had that were that honest? t It's the year of the Pig.

Well - I think it's positive that we can all have fun and drop the serious stuff when we choose to. In the entire world - there are probably less than 100 000 skydivers.. and the truth is - I'm glad I'm one of them. t It's the year of the Pig.

How many dives does she have and what's she loading it at? t It's the year of the Pig.

I think what you're doing is hugely positive, and will help your skydiving. I think you're also forgetting that we live in a dynamic form, and the pictures are useless unless you KNOW you were trying to fly a straight path at the time. t It's the year of the Pig.

Well... If it makes you feel any better - the weather is splendid here - 30 deg C - and soon I'll be leaving it to meet the likes of you! Ahh. Life's little sacrifices! t It's the year of the Pig.

Well... Here in the 3rd world I'll need to wait for the Incredibles - which only releases on Friday.. But I'll make a point of seeing it.

Nac - when I see what other side-kicks have to wear - I'm really glad LR was nearly dead when I found him. He wanted me to wear this "Cow-girl" type outfit. I just acted dumb and made like I never understood. He doesn't have a girlfriend either - and I think he has issues with his horse too.. t It's the year of the Pig.
-
He did look foolish! Lying there, in Black and White, with his 5 Ranger friends pretending to be dead cos being buried alive was better than riding with THAT ego.. C'mon. You know what this guy pays me to be a side kick? Then he uses silver bullets? Is this a Werewolf fantasy he's in? He has issues dude. I may be called Tonto, I never got to choose my name. He hangs out with me ALL THE TIME... and still calls himself the "Lone Ranger." How do you think that makes me feel? t It's the year of the Pig.
-
Well I know where he is. I'm his sidekick. He'd be dead lying next to his 5 dead Ranger friends if it were not for me - and he screws up in EVERY episode and I'm the one who had to save his masked ASS each time. I think he wears the mask because he has low self esteem about the fact he was rescued by a native American. I don't know. I was chatting to Zoro about this - and he things that chicks think that capes are cool. They're just not for me. Truth is, I feel a bit uncomfortable in a headband.. t It's the year of the Pig.

Cos they don't think that a hero's way to go is to be shot by his own side? It's one of Murphy's laws of combat. There is no such thing as friendly fire. t It's the year of the Pig.
-
Culture... ok... But I still don't understand how you make people afraid by letting them know you're too scared to show your face. t It's the year of the Pig.

Well what's he got to hide? Tonto never wears a mask. t It's the year of the Pig.

You Dutch people killed the last Dodo, dude. t It's the year of the Pig.

I may be sitting pretty - but feel that many with less than perfectly proportioned bodies - or any athletes - are probably overweight. There is more to the measurement of the human airframe than simply height and weight. What about wingspan and fuselage cross section? My GF's BMI is 17.5 - and she has muscles. Where would she be without them? t It's the year of the Pig.

21.9 I'm normal... but I think this is bullshit. For a 6ft man to weigh 176 and be on the edge of "over weight" is just bullshit. t It's the year of the Pig.
