    Time to call and see if you can borrow a rig... it'll be fun jumping borrowed gear on a 150 way, won't it?

    Getcha. I must be being particularly slow today .

    Nice. She's got talent.

    When I did my first hop n pop with my own gear I counted to five seconds in about one. 'Twas a diving exit from a Skyvan. I threw the pilot chute, which hit my leg, started to wrap it, cleared, and everything deployed normally. I was not the most composed of students .

    This is a sport and a site that occasionally requires a thick skin.

    My DZ has absolutely no issues doing a pass at 4k, though it does cost the same as a ticket to height. Getting out between 5k and the top is significantly trickier because of Air Traffic Control restrictions.

    Pity it's so fucking difficult to make a phone call on one, eh? Data coverage looks brilliant. You'll be able to post to dz.com from the dz...

    Worth repeating.

    Yes, but I've been getting out of the pond (mostly)! I've seen a couple of others damaged, and I'm certain that the Protektor would be crap for a large-scale dunking. It's got a hole in the back - right over the unsealed opening into the Optima/Viso's case!

    What about SDC? Kallend could tell you if it's bum-friendly, but it should be busy enough this season...

    Every time I see that photo I want to throw it out of the airplane and watch you pile after it trying to get the thing back .

    Anyone know if there's aftermarket waterproofing that actually works? The Protektor is inadequate.
  13. bob.dino
    Confirmed that this is still a fairly major problem.

    There was problems with the indexing part of this site around that time and it looks like all those posts may not be available through the search engine. I'll post in Bug Reports and see if we can't get Sangiro to sort it out.

    We don't have that on either of the two I've jumped. Got a pic? I'm curious.

    Ditto. 'Tis a bit of a pain...

    Yup. You could also make the same arguments about a trip to McDonalds - he'll like it, but it's very bad for him. It just acts more slowly. Should taking your kid to McDonalds be a felony?

    They're legislating their assessment of the risk. Your assessment differs. People are very bad at assessing risk. Whether you're right or they're right is a different matter.

    How do you determine that doing a tandem has no inherent benefit to a child?

    Yoga & meditation helps many people.

    Yeah, it's fun. It may be illegal in the USA - there's different rules about clouds there.

    If you're asking the question it's unlikely you're complacent. Welcome back

    Yeah, you call her "mom" Touché. I got nada.
  24. bob.dino
    Hey, she could hold your rig on her lap. Problem solved.

    Not everyone jumps at Daddy's DZ.
