Not all that awesome, really __ My mighty steed

Remains to be seen what ill effects this may cause 60 generations down the road. Some things really shouldnt be fucked with. Introducing genetically altered insects into the wild could have unforseen consequenses. __ My mighty steed

There was indeed. Several notable vendors didn't attend the convention. That didnt affect my decision to go and I had a totally awesome time.

As of today we are 4 months out

Full story: ABC If scientists developed a pill that would erase traumatic memories from your brain, would you take one? My bad memories are part of what makes me who I am. __ My mighty steed

Sad but true. The added safety is not magically bestowed simply by having these devices in our rigs. We have to choose to skydive as if we did not have them in order to take advantage of the added safety they offer. Thats what I try to do, and I believe that because of that I do offset the risk just a touch more than if I didn't have them. __ My mighty steed

That should not be confused with "Dont get a skyhook, because if you do you would be tempted to cut away really really low". I think some folks are of that very mindset. Thats the same mindset that thinks the added safety features we have available today actually make people less safe because they will then push the envelope farther than they would otherwise. Fact is, if we take advantage of the additional safety things like the skyhook offer by exercizing common sense, not relying on them to save our asses, and NOT pushing the envelope farther we actually ARE safer. __ My mighty steed

Dunno. Dumb, helpless chicks are a turnoff and a bore. __ My mighty steed

I'm glad you didnt use the word "taut" to describe it. I hate it when movie critics describe movies as taut. __ My mighty steed

I will hate you forever for that __ My mighty steed

Could be trouble. Could be no big thing. You might be getting ahead of yourself. Cant say I wouldnt do the same thing, but then someone would probably tell me that I might be getting ahead of myself

A reduction is price if the seller is ugly? There goes my gear resale value!

How to address someone who has created an unsafe situation.
ChrisL replied to DAVE619's topic in The Bonfire
Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. Even skygods. If I screwed up and someone approached me in this aggressive, loud, confrontational, and humiliating fashion, I would hurt them. Give respect, get respect in return. It's as simple as that. An old lady screwed up a few weeks ago and rear ended me on the road. Should I have gotten all up in her face because she did something unsafe that could have resulted in me being injured? Grow up. __ My mighty steed -
Good call

Did you learn on a Cruiser in order to have that opinion? I learned on my Harley Fat Boy and it was a cake walk. Softails have such a low center of gravity they handle awesomely at low speed, parking lot driving and are rock steady on the highway. I cant imagine a better bike to learn on. __ My mighty steed

You normally bill $5-600 bucks in titty bar expenses to your company? All I can say is... __ My mighty steed

Was that a skyhook deployment? 150 feet from cutaway to open reserve is pretty damn fast. __ My mighty steed
-
I'd have to say that someone with an attitude like that isnt worth the effort she is demanding __ My mighty steed
-
No, but you may be the only one that finds those particular thread titles funny __ My mighty steed

I cant take too seriously anyone that thinks they know what I "should" like and compiles a 200 item list telling me what they are. __ My mighty steed

Question about working for a drop zone.
ChrisL replied to scuba5k's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Nope __ My mighty steed -
Openings are not "loooong". They are sweet and consistently on heading. I've owned 2 Sabre2's and neither one of them could make those claims. The Sabre2's opened squirrely (off heading to varying degrees) more often than not, but they flew and landed great. Sabre2 is a good canopy, but if you are specifically lookin for a comfy, consistent opening canopy then Pilot is better than Sabre2 __ My mighty steed

Yep. Weird. __ My mighty steed
