    Also, if you have a small canopy and swoop, your place in line will move up considerably.

    On my 2nd tandem, the vidiot lost his camera and it landed only a few yards away from the packing area. Good spot...

    I thought they all left after swooping was banned?

    YES, I've only done one hybrid and thought my back was going to break. I will not do another one, at least not as a bellyflier.

    Question, the SIM says in the Cat B Quiz : "If part of the deployed parachute is caught on the jumper or the equipment (horseshoe),what is the correct response? Cut away and deploy the reserve." Why is attempting to first clear the entanglement (altitude permitting) not taught?

    This girl is pretty hot. Too bad they don't post their phone #'s too. http://www.pascosheriff.com/webapps/IMS500R.pgm?TASK=disp&rrn=000064169&rnd=19027

    hell, I'll say it. His salsa was never that great. He seemed obsessed with it though. I always thought he was a little weird...

    Ok, fair enough. I have to admit though that I'm a little uncomfortable with the idea of choosing to land off before landing in the HP area. It may not be a big deal at some DZs but I'm thinking of several that have very few outs, and the outs they do have are pretty sketchy. If given the choice of landing in trees, a tight back yard, or a nice open area that's designated for HP landings, I'd have trouble not choosing the open area. Maybe I'd hook it just to stay within the rules.

    What would one do if non-HPL jumpers are forced to land in the HPL area due to the spot or some other situation? Pick an out and walk back. I'll say it again then. What would one do if non-HPL jumpers are forced to land in the HPL area due to the spot or some other situation?

    [sarcasm] If I pack my Talon 2 without using Sandy's clamps-galore technique as perscribed in the T2 Manual... am I violating the mfgr's packing instructions? [/sarcasm] This is actually a question I'd really like a (non-sarcastic) answer to.

    While on the topic of tasteless Steven Hawking jokes...

    Very nice... I like how they even got the slant in the "T'

    so who wins, the person in the picture, or the person who took the picture?

    I once found a live snake in a container of grapes I bought at the grocery store... Can't look at grapes the same way anymore...

    There is one DZ I know of where all the cool kids deliberately keep their excess line unstowed. So it's definitely real (although very stupid).

    You may be using the ISP progression card. It's longer, and more thorough. It's good but it's just a pain to fill out
  19. jheadley
    Any skydive counts, but you also have to complete all the tasks on the A license Proficiency Card, which the DZ should have already given you. Be sure to ask for it the next time you go and start getting things signed off. http://www.uspa.org/PUblications/form.pdf/A_Lic_Prof_Card_09-06.pdf

    What makes it possible on one and not the other?

    Quote Mine did... (drop the ball) My first line twists at 30 jumps I did not look at my Alti - and I had to kick out of 9 twists. I lived, but was not doing what I should have done. I now teach what I do. For line twists: "Kick once, Kick twice, Alti... Kick once, Kick twice, Alti." Quote Great idea, I'm going to stat using that.

    I once made one for my old BMW. It was just a novelty, no real practical use. In those old BMWs, you could also program a start passcode on the on-board computer. Now that was cool

    I hope to be at the June 2-3 event. Hope to see some familiar faces there (I don't actually look like my avatar).
