  1. There is no "better" way. My vote is for whatever gets you to the point that you are a safe, responsible, licensed skydiver. I myself followed the [crackle hissss hisss crackle] method and that worked just fine for me __ My mighty steed
  2. nothing years and years ago. Repeatedly. Old news. Quit bragging Dave __ My mighty steed
  3. I bust up laughing every time I see your new avatar __ My mighty steed
  4. Pretty much depends on the gun, I'd think __ My mighty steed
  5. Wasnt me! My 220R is a .45 Besides, I just got it a couple days ago
  6. Thats the beauty of coming down sick. You dont have to book time off in advance __ My mighty steed
  7. Most of the top rigs out there will serve you equally well. Vector 3, Mirage, Javelin, Icon, etc As far as innovation, RWS has innovated some of the most significant features in modern skydiving gear, but all of the top manufacturers out there have incorporated them into their own gear with the possible exception of the Skyhook RSL which I dont think has yet been licensed for other manufacturers and at least right now can only be found on the Vector 3. I expect it will be licensed for other manufacturers to use soon if not already... __ My mighty steed
  8. When he saw me looking at the semi auto pistols, the guy at the store took one look at me and said "You have .45 written all over you" He didnt have to work too hard to convince me since thats what I actually wanted anyway

    9mm vs .45

    Well having just bought a new Sig P220R less than an hour ago, I'm gonna say I prefer the .45 ACP __ My mighty steed
  10. Used to own a few pistols 20 years back. When the first bun was in the oven my wife leaned on me to pack em up and move em out. She is pretty supportive of me in almost all things so I went along with her on this one. Missed em though :-) Well with my son heading out for Marine Corps boot camp its back to just the two of us again so I went out and after trying out 4 or 5 different models, bought myself a shiny new Sig Sauer .45 ACP 220R Damn but its nice
  11. 3 or 4 seconds of freefall at cypres fire altitude pretty much puts you in the dirt. __ My mighty steed
  12. I'd jump it without the AAD till the AAD shows up. Then I'd have it installed and jump with the AAD
  13. There a few black guys at Cross Keys I've jumped with... __ My mighty steed
  14. Exellent! Hopefully, if even more new info comes to light, they will keep that under wraps too
  15. Obviously you didnt see all the movies with Christopher Reeve. Lois and Superman most definitely did the deed. She even discovered that Clark and Superman were the same guy. Clark gave up his powers to be with her but then General Zod showed up and started wrecking the earth. Zod! Clark went and got his powers back for the sake of mankind and caused Lois to "forget" that Clark and Superman were the same guy for her own good. The new movie obviously takes place 5 years after that
  16. If I was in Atlanta and needed a ride to WFFC, I walk there before I'd ride all the way to Rantoul listening to disco I'm goin there for the same days only comin from SE PA. 12 hour drive each way. Hope to crap the weather is nice Saturday and Sunday
  17. She did not. Where did you get that? __ My mighty steed
  18. So what are the odds that you'll be jumping out of (say) a DC-9 before heading out there? __ My mighty steed
  19. I know you couldnt pay me to jump a rig that was packed in a packing contest __ My mighty steed
  20. I havent missed the landing area yet...as long as you consider the golf course as part of the landing area __ My mighty steed
  21. HUGE landing area People that jump out west dont seem to think so. I've actually heard people complain that its too small and it makes them nervous. __ My mighty steed
  22. No job is worth that shit. What the hell would you EVER go back there for??? __ My mighty steed
  23. Its the fact that it produces many much bigger problems __ My mighty steed
  24. I think I qualify I'll be there! __ My mighty steed
