    Not sure how visible it'll be in low-light conditions...

    You do know he spends half his life running around with his cock out, right? It's Douggs...

    Don't. There's three types of information - that you must know, that you should know, and that you could know. Almost all the information in TP&IP is, at the moment, in the "could know" category. Eat breakfast, show up fresh, and listen. Your instructors will teach you the information you must know.

    BTW the 990 does say 35/hr wk And my last two job descriptions said 40 hrs/week. Not what I worked at all...

    $102k / year for an Executive Director is not excessive. Remember, he doesn't get to jump for a living - he gets to run all the boring, thankless, politics, budgets, and paperwork stuff. As to whether he does a good job, I'm in no position to say. I'm not a USPA member or a resident of the USA.

    Why? There's an Aussie designed & built RDS that's used by several of my mates, and they take it to terminal all the time...

    Yes you are. We've got plenty of pisshead lobster-skinned Poms here already, thank you very much .

    Why not email Cookie and ask? He's pretty good about answering emails (except between Christmas & New Year, 'coz he was at the Picton boogie...)

    It's full of hot Swedish backpackers. Seriously.

    Yes it might, because they'll call that number to a) check what the hell a 'parachute' is, and b) get your credit card details so you can pay duty. If they don't have a working phone number for you they may just bill you on delivery or they may send you an invoice which you have to pay before they deliver. Why not call them (13 26 10) and ask?

    FedEx to Sydney are pretty good. I got a canopy in about three days. Based on my experience, shortly after it hits Honolulu, you'll get a call from them to pre-clear customs. You can then expect it the next day.

    Email L&B (contact details are on their website) and ask them.

    Pause the video. Wait until the dark red bar has proceeded completely to the right - the video is then cached on your local machine. Then press play. No jerky clips or randoms stops while the video buffers. If that doesn't help, I have no real ideas - it's a Flash player embedded in your browser. Apart from proxy servers trying to be smart or basic bandwidth issues, there's not a whole hell of a lot that can go wrong. Unless there are bugs in the version of the Flash plugin you're using, which will be the same across both FF and IE. Try updating it to the latest version...

    Or maybe he should call Chris, arrange a time & place and pick up a dirt-cheap Ryanair flight to France for some one-on-one instruction? Much easier

    Why don't you just email Ned Luker at the address provided by masterrigger1? Surely if anyone knows what PISA is doing, it's PISA?

    It's Thailand. It's infested with backpacking tourists, especially on the Southern tourist islands. If you get off the beaten track you may meet more Thais, but if you don't meet heaps of backpacking Euros I'd be very very surprised.

    When you make comments like "Icarus will always be on the forefront of cutting edge canopy design", you should probably disclose that you have a commercial relationship with the company. Not that I'm disputing the truth of your statement, just that it should have a disclaimer on it

    To jump that Cypres you'll have to have it serviced, and then you'll have 2 yrs left on it. There's a handy Cypres value calculator available (use Google), that you can use to determine if it's worth doing.

    Joe Bennett is golowjoe here. edit to fix url.

    It's my belief that being out of trim does contribute to weird openings. However, someone more qualified than I (riggerrob, masterigger1, sparky, etc) can comment?
  21. bob.dino
    Yes, you can.

    I know of an XL-750 that has had a wingsuiter hit the tail.

    Water. Electrolytes. Coffee if you need to be awake. Sorted.

    You need new friends. NYE always sucks if you go out partying - every asshole that can't hold his or her alcohol is out making a fool of themselves .

    No you bloody well don't! You intend to land by the student cross. How well you do that is open to question, but the intent should be obvious . Come say hi next time you're at Picton.
