Well as long as you are getting a free spanking out of it I suppose it would be OK... You'll have to tell us about the spanking, though, so we can live vicariously through you

I quit a 25 year long, 3 pack a day habit cold turkey 5 years ago. Full strength Marlboro reds. I never tried to pretend that my craving for a cigarette was a valid excuse to be rude and obnoxious. Know why? Because it isnt. Be a man. Deal with it. Dont take it out on other people. You can do that, cant you? __ My mighty steed

Eye for an eye I say. Duct tape their hands behind their backs, wrap them up in blankets, and shove them into a closet until they are dead. __ My mighty steed

A word about packing these canopies. All 4 were brand new when I got them. 160ish packjobs on brand new sabre2's and more recently 34 packjobs on brand new pilots. The Pilots have a bigger pack volume and are a bigger pain in the ass to bag because they seem to want to puff back up (reinflate) a lot more than the Sabre2's did. Packed rig looks more bulgy than it did with the Sabre2's in it. On the other hand, the color coded line attachments on the Pilot make flaking the canopy a lot easier.

Dude, you have your facts way wrong here. At 253 jumps I dont consider myself nearly experienced enough to advise people. At 28 jumps you definitely should not be giving out advice. __ My mighty steed

Yep. Its called the "Skydivers Information Manual" or "SIM" for short

Some other words of wisom might be appropriate too... "Shut up and jump"

I jumped (in order) Sabre2 210 (96 jumps), Sabre2 190 (66 jumps) , Pilot 210 (15 jumps) , Pilot 188 (19 jumps) I'm still with the Pilot 188 and plan to stick with it for many jumps to come. Gotta say I like the Pilot better. Sabre2 had a more powerful flare. Pilot has better openings. Once I got used to the difference in flare I land the Pilot just as well as I did the Sabre2. Both my Sabre2's had comfy openings but squirrely and off-heading more often than not. The Pilot opens consistently soft and on-heading. Both fly more or less about the same (IMO) My bottom line, the Pilot is a better canopy for me. __ My mighty steed

Do you want your canopy to go into full speed flight immediately upon opening? That could make for some hairly moments trying to avoid collisions. I understood that brakes are set to reduce the canopies forward speed initially. __ My mighty steed

Running from the room seems like an awful lot of work. I just turned it off when I couldnt take anymore. __ My mighty steed

I usually ask which way the pattern goes, and I like to make a point of finding out about the best outs in case of a shitty spot __ My mighty steed

What if you fell out of an airplane without a parachute?
ChrisL replied to Vertifly's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Wrong. If you are tracking properly (flat track) , your rate of descent is decreased. With good form, your descent rate can be significantly less than your normal belly to earth fall rate. __ My mighty steed -
Tips on Healing Up Broken Femur...?

You forgot to mention that once the tussin gets to the bone you have to push real hard (like taking a crap) to actually get it into the bone -
I'm not a rigger, but I think it would make packing into an exercize in pure hell. If you cant force air out through the seams your pack volume is going to go up to the point where you'll never get the thing into the container... It'll be HUGE __ My mighty steed

The caustic guy is amusing, the plot is riduculous. How long can you believ he is a good doctor when he mis-diagnoses his paitient 12 times per episode and is totally convinced he is right EVERY TIME. __ My mighty steed

Sweet! That means it works!

Nope. Dead is something that used to be alive but is no longer. Before we are born we simply dont exist. Of course "non-existance" is debatable depending on your religeous beliefs __ My mighty steed
