Hey Joe, You and your grandma are in my prayers and thoughts. *hugs and vibes* _______________________ aerialkinetics.com

You just have too much damn energy girl! Givin off all that heat... _______________________ aerialkinetics.com

I gather that the military parachutes commonly used (MC 1-1 and T-10) are compatible with their purpose. With a hundred canopies in the sky, static lined from 800 feet, with 100 lb gear, its much more practical versus a ram-air parachute. Listing equipment is essential in certain situations. Such as someone turning too low on a canopy they are not familiar with, or beyond their level of competent flying. I don't know exact statistics (in fact they might be in Parachutist) but most incidents are jumper induced, not failing gear. Heck every manufacturer claims they have the best container/canopy and give their reasons. You have to decide which is best suitable for you. Gear maintenance is important to your jumping career. Other than your setup being inspected and repacked every 120 days, you should have your own checklist as well. Here is a good start. _______________________ aerialkinetics.com

All the things you listed above are free. And if needed, a new main closing loop. _______________________ aerialkinetics.com

You guys are awesome! Keep up the good work, I'm thrilled at the progress. _______________________ aerialkinetics.com

And just how would we determine that? Not sure. I suppose it depends on the situation if fault can be determined. I was just posing an "if." _______________________ aerialkinetics.com

What about people like Outrager, who have clearly already paid their dues? Sorry, didn't clarify. I was referring to the post I came across mentioning those who had plenty of base jumps w/o knowing how to pack, not those who are packing gods but simply lazy Kidding about the lazy part. _______________________ aerialkinetics.com

Where I come from, learning to pack is part of paying your dues. If you want to be cool and jump with the big boys, then you will learn to pack too. Elsewhere it may be different for obvious reasons. I'm down with packers at Bridge day where an off heading is no big deal. But at a cliff where a 180 can kill you, and its the packer's fault... now that would suck I suppose its personal preference and I'm fine with people doing whatever they want to do, but I'm sure not going to put myself in that situation. _______________________ aerialkinetics.com

In continuance, I am in agreement. In fact, to take it further, most of what I'm reading are slams to those with faith, when in fact I don't read one person standing up for God who is shoving anything down anybody's throat. Sure religion has caused wars. Sure people have used and abused it, taking it to extremes, fighting in the name of whoever and not realizing what a bad rap they're giving their religion and worse, those who truly love God. One big offense that turns off many is that they have seen people claim to be christians (or substitute other faith) but yet live like a heathen. This is a turn off I do agree. Claimed believers who are out intentially harming others, or engulfed in a lifestyle that is obviously not based on faith, should focus on what their problems are before imposing their views on others. In fact, there should be no imposing in the first place. On the flipside, there is no one righteous. So I'm thankful that i'm incapable of doing any good on my own. Because if I was, there would be no need for grace. I expect to be ridiculed for my faith. I expect to be ridiculed for my hypocracy. I've said this before, but I am in no way an example. If you look to me, I will fail you. These are my personal views. I'm totally down with discussing these or different views with people. I'm not imparting a thing on anybody. Hey, this is how I am, everybody's entitled to their own beliefs and thats awesome. Free will. I see no shame in standing up. Christ has fulfilled my life, and then some. If smoothies fulfill your life, then good for you. _______________________ aerialkinetics.com

*shrugs* Well I'd like to live life to a ripe old age, but I have a notion I won't miss the world too much. After all, now all my flights are free. You are now free to move about the country *bing* _______________________ aerialkinetics.com

Lol, server error after the last questionarre page. Awesome. _______________________ aerialkinetics.com

I got it from download.com and it completely hosed my hard drive, to the point where I had to format the entire thing BUT I wouldn't blame it on ad-aware, my comp already had a virus on it and when I tried using ad-aware afterwards, it erased some vital stuff too. I think the buggie had something to do with it. If you're system is fine, I think ad-aware will do you good. _______________________ aerialkinetics.com

Have you tried doing that bendy thing (your avatar) in the sky? That'd be a rad skymove. Just my .02. _______________________ aerialkinetics.com

Dad: Have you thought about what you wanted for your 18th birthday? Me: No. Hey lets go skydiving, that'll be a good present. Dad: Yessssssssssss! Me: Well at least I made somebody's day... _______________________ aerialkinetics.com

LOL, yeah. Brit: What is that hideous sound in freefall? Zen: Uh, I think its Tom's pants. _______________________ aerialkinetics.com

its cool, i've steered a trash bag in my dreams before. you know, the kind with the yellow collapsable handles. _______________________ aerialkinetics.com

I've never been told one is right or one is wrong. As for me, I've always flown whatever's comfortable honestly. If I've gotta go faster, I usually find myself palms down, If I'm at a comfy fall rate, usually 'shaking' hands, and if I've gotta put on the brakes, I'm delivering those pizzas. Same thing when I'm taking a grip, the other is semi-controlling fall rate (subconciously). _______________________ aerialkinetics.com

Its a lot more entertaining than driving down Houston freeways, where I'm TRULY scared. _______________________ aerialkinetics.com
