Well, if Remi doesn't watch out, then I will NEVER go to his house again, eat his food, drink his whiskey, pass out on his couch and leave his bathroom a biological hazard...

Nice try, but I think the 'Resmter' kinda gives it away...

JT, you have to bear in mind that that was a column - ie one person giving his views. IMHO that column was aimed at the couch potatoes who consume/drive/whatever the products, ie get the consumer thinking that using product ACME would make them extreme/cool/whatever because the adverts showed people doing extreme/cool/whatever stuff while promoting product ACME. This was a column in a paper giving one person's opinion, not a factual news report/article. I think it was well written and gave good food for thought and don't understand why it got you guys up on your high horses. A bit over-sensitive perhaps? Will

Yes, bum boy, I really hope you can delete that post....

Yeah, I hear your wife really likes the strap-on version too...

What exactly is your guys problem with that article? I think it was well-written and made some very valid points. You guys are only being judgemental because you are part of the "extreme" crowd mentioned in the article, but it is totally not aimed at any of us. That article is aimed at the great unwashed who think that because they use some product advertised using extreme sports, that by association they will be extreme too. I think that was a fine article and you people are a little too over-sensitive. That article was obviously aimed at the consumers of those products, NOT the people practicing extreme sports. Will

You mean you don't want people getting your face tattoo'd on their belly buttons???

QuoteOn my first jump there i did nothing but look at the scenery in freefall. Quote Thank god for your cypres, hey?

Aaah man!! I got my first rig/RW suit/freefly suit from Ryan. He (along with JP) and the others at Action Air are such a nice bunch. I hope he makes a full recovery! Condolences to the student's friends and family. Will

Howdy everybody (that found the batty door to get in) Thought I'd share this story with you. A friend (Steve Park) had been on 999 jumps for 3 weeks. The weather was always crappy and he didn't want to do a low lob for his 1000th, however he was getting pissed off at not being able to jump. So finally this Saturday he organizes a big way (Let load - 17 way), weather was good, we dirt-dived it, all set to go. However they were trying to break the world record for tandems at Hinton on Saturday, so they asked if we could rather do it on the first load Sunday morning. As a treat we would then get '15 000 (they got special permission from Air traffic control). So, next morning we get geared up, dirt-dive it again quickly and walk down to the plane. We get to the plane and both pilots are shaking their heads - the hydraulics is phuqed and the Let is out of action for the day... Steve then decides to do his 1 000th from the Cessna, 5 of us (me, Steve, his wife Elaine, spindoctor and captainquim) then gear up and get in the Cessna to go to '10 000. The plan was the other 3 get out first, then Steve follows with his hand tube and I come out last. The other 3 would break off at '4 500, Steve would pull in place at '4 000, I'd film his deployment and then pull at '2 500. Well, that was the plan... We got to '10 000, but couldn't see the ground, so Steve took us down to cloud base ('5 000). The dive plan for Steve's 1 000th was THEN, the other 3 do solos, Steve and I launch a 2-way and I film him pulling. So, I'm sitting hunched up in the tail, the other 3 lob out, Steve exits and I dive - as I dive my right ankle hits the door and I flip out. By the time I recover Steve's 1 000th jump has gone from being a 17 way to a 5 way to a 2 way to a solo.... THEN he pulls and gets bad line-twists on his Extreme, has to chuck the tube and chop!!! Yep, for his 1 000th he got to do a solo and got a cutaway thrown in for good measure! He made a nice stand-up landing in the square under his PD and even he was laughing at his luck. I think he is glad to now have it behind him cos it was just starting to become a pain in the arse to him!! Will

Yeah, but that still doesn't mean any of us wanna take a shower with you and play a game of 'where's the soap', so stop asking already, OK?!?!?! "Look before you jump, don't die until you're dead"

Yep, I agree. Buy her the slowest one and it will be fine. Our design team has 4 G4s of varying ages and specs. The only thing they have in common is 256Mb of RAM. They're using all the usual shit (quark, photoshop, illustrator etc.) and there is no significantly noticeable difference in performance between any of them. Maybe if she is going to do video editing she'd want the latest and greatest, but I'd recommend buying the cheapest G4 and then just getting more RAM if you want better performance. Will "Look before you jump, don't die until you're dead"

Noticed the BASE vs. skydiving numbers in your profile - now THAT is pretty impressive!!!

Woohoo!!!! Thanks for reminding me, man!

You can't judge Brazil by how shit the other big teams have played. If you look at all their games Brazil have been convincing winners in every one. Even with 10 men on the field they came pretty close to scoring again against England. Now they have Senegal/Turkey in the semi and then probably Germany/Spain in the final. And, even though I was happy to see them go out, Italy were royally screwed over by that ref. "Look before you jump, don't die until you're dead"

Yep, even when they were a man down Brazil still looked the better team. Yesterday I put money on Brazil to win the world cup - yeeeeehaaaaa!!!

Yeah baby indeed!!! Put on your drinking shoes and hat and come to Hinton!!

What is the maximum speed you could reach in a downplane? (using dedicated CReW canopies at a loading of 1.2 or lower) If you could give me some figures using meters per second as the unit of speed I'd appreciate it. Thanks Will "Look before you jump, don't die until you're dead"

Also, what are you going to be loading these shoes at? "Look before you jump, don't die until you're dead"

Now that you've got Clay's attention.... "Look before you jump, don't die until you're dead"

Doh a dear? "Look before you jump, don't die until you're dead"

True dat, especially with his prediliction for big black booties (of the none RW jumpsuit kind).... "Look before you jump, don't die until you're dead"

Hey, at least he used lots of kewl colours!!! "Look before you jump, don't die until you're dead"

Dumbass, I thought you were updating us on a Head Down crash, not a Hard Disk Drive crash..... Will PS I trust you managed to save your collection of adult viewing material too??? "Look before you jump, don't die until you're dead"
