    It's a big wide world out there. Open your eyes.

    Nice for some! The rest of us have to stay here a little longer to cover your slack arse .

    I take it your not a hunter? It's not generally considered a food animal, so you can take it that I'd be rooting for the bear.

    Not so cool.

    Where are you from again?

    Old joke alert: Why are New Yorkers always depressed? Because the light at the end of the tunnel is New Jersey.

    I'm kind of puzzled by this.... we're skydivers. We throw ourselves out of airplanes, and that's what we spend our disposable income on. Or is everyone here using debt to fund their jumping?

    They're the ones that pulled the trigger. Personal responsibility: if you shoot an unarmed civilian in the head in a revenge attack you deserve to be put on trial for murder. If you didn't do it, you'll be aquitted. That I agree on.

    You mean apart from being slagged off at your own funeral for trying in-air rigging instead of stopping the skydive? George: we're not having a go at you. I think we're both just in slightly odd moods today .

    Toogoolawah is the biggest one near Brisbane. They have a bus service - contact them for more. There are other DZs nearby that I'm not familiar with - you could try asking on the Aussie forums.

    I would think so. How well does it fit?

    Couldn't I just stow the released brake back, and use rear risers in this case? Someone want to chime in on the con's of in-air rigging? ...or even how easy putting a brake back in a catseye then stowing the toggle when the line's under tension would be...

    Umm, errr... bugger.

    You do know it's winter here too?
  15. bob.dino
    Prove it.

    I was under the impression that the cloud manuals had been suspended for the time being? I hadn't heard anything along those lines, though I know there have been problems getting new manuals through CASA. I'll ask around and let you know...

    Did you or your fiancé do anything special when packing the Mamba?

    Even green? What's a good color? Dark greens can hide well against trees on a dark day. Yellow/Orange/Red/Pink are much better at being visible. I don't think every cell needs to be bright, but I think at least one or two should be.

    Actually, it's Your Mileage May Vary. Yup .

    Nice

    I really dislike all blue/grey/green canopies. They can be bloody hard to spot, especially on a gloomy day.
  22. bob.dino
    This bears repeating. It's damn good advice.

    Umm, you do know you're not usually wearing 8-10kg of rig in the tunnel? In my very limited tunnel experience I was arching much harder than I ever have in the sky. If you have IC going over, and OC as the centre of the compress, then good work getting down & out by the OC will make the IC's job easy at pretty much any fall rate. That said, you need a fall-rate which puts you in the middle of your range - if you're struggling to slow enough to build the top of the block, there's no way in hell you'll get the 'pop' you need to scoot on over. And I ain't no expert on this either, but that's been my experience.

    How can a 12yo have credit? They can't enter into a legal agreement.

    It looks fine. Is it a 3-button jacket? If so, take your hands out of your pockets, do up the middle button, stand naturally, and take a photo. Preferably in natural light, without a flash.
