  1. Nice guys don't finish last. I can't be bothered typing it out again.
  2. This is Bonfire; why would you expect a serious response?
  3. Hot: Lots of good people Skyvan, Otter, Turbine Beaver Well stocked bar Not: Showers and bunkhouse.
  4. Bonehead used to make shoe-mounts for cameras.
  5. I'm running a pair of blue ankle-height Adidas Goodyear driving shoes. Stylin'.
  6. ...and I hear the women are ugly. /runs .
  7. That's a pity. I like the taste of sweet stuff
  8. I don't pull below 3k, except on bigways. Even then, 2k5 is about as low as I want to go. If that precludes my future participation on really really big ways, so be it.
  9. The Guinness would be wasted if you didn't have a proper tap system. Bass you could probably get away with. Harp is reasonable, but I think Rolling Rock is just as nice a beer for a whole lot less dinero. If you want the keg to get finished, make it something easy to drink. Lagers like RR, CL, etc. will go down quickly.
  10. Yup, B&H's store is huge. They've got a really odd system where there are different counters, salespeople, and queues for each area. Your purchases get put into little carts that move around on an overhead track and get delivered to the central area where you pay for the whole lot. Very strange, and more than slightly paranoid. Still, they're a large, well-established, reputable dealer.
  11. Yup. If your slider isn't fully up against the stops you could be in for a sore ol' back.
  12. Brian Germain was relating a very similar story this weekend just gone though, in the story he told, the pin stabbed through the bridle before pulling out of the closing loop, resulting in a total. The jumper in question failed to identify the cause of the total and so, one reserve repack later, had another total . Very much at the far end of the distribution curve, but it obviously happens occasionally.

  14. I do hope you've got slices of lime to go with that Corona.
  15. No it isn't. He has a 100% success rate at staying alive. Skydivers don't.
  16. The Cresco and XL750 are different aircraft, though both made by PAC. Cresco = 10 people XL750 = 15-17 people.
  17. Why not just borrow one for a jump to see before spending the dollars?
  18. For those of us outside the USA, could you provide a little more info on the article contents?
  19. Nope. Speed is for the racetrack. Public roads are for getting from A to B without killing some poor innocent.
  20. Bring a case of beer to the DZ, and put the rest in the retirement a/c. Or the drugs and hookers. Either is good.
  21. You've never jumped a full-loaded -200 series Otter on a 35C+ day, have you? That's slow.
  22. respirated. But chaoskitty's answer is much better.
