  1. o.k. I'm going to study and go for it in a couple of weeks... I have 4 night jumps.. Is that enough?
  2. Anything from I-beams in construction to car driveshafts.. Just SNAP.. No reason.. Defect in the metal. Things break all the time for no apparent reason. I build redundant security systems, computer networks.. Everything I do pretty much has a backup. Why shouldn't my rig be the same? I have a reserve parachute? Why not have redundancy in other possible points of failure? Rhino
  3. Damn!!! I didn't know you have to buy beer for a D License?

    Back Problems

    My back keep hurting right between my shoulder blades...
  5. They were practicing for Desert Storm II..
  6. Not designed to Hook?? Have you seen Derek hook his vx60? He does a pretty damned good job for something that isn't designed to do that.. lol
  7. I am also having the same type of webbing that a chest strap is made of run behind the hip ring from the top piece of webbing to the leg strap. The the hip ring will maintain it's flexibility and I will have a 1 in 100,000 backup for that hip ring. Built in redundancy if you will. Arrows illustrate.

    Back Problems

    Find a REAL chiropractor... The ones that don't guess.. They run an analyzer down your back that detects muscle heat and tension.. You get a print out of problem areas and when they do work you immediately feel results. My wife "6 months pregnant" was having severe back pain. She went in and these people target specific vertibre. Her back pain has subsided. Not only did they do the adjustment she gets a really cool massage before hand to loosen her back muscles. I was skeptical at first but man has it done her allot of good.. Rhino
  9. Maybe we should say to hell with the UN.. Pull out of the Middle East.. Pull out of Asia.. Sit back and wait for the first mad man that we let be come after us because he wants to be a big dawwwwwg... Or maybe the bombs should already be falling on Saddham.. The longer we wait the more time he has to dig in. We are telegraphing our moves. The longer we wait IF WE ARE going in the more of our boys are going to die.. Rhino
  10. I got the rhino back.. what do you think??
  11. My eyes stayed on that pond when I wasn't in the air swooping over it myself.. Tent was not far away either
  12. What performance characteristice are you looking for in going crossbraced? I thought I wanted to go crossbraced. I bought a new Xaos21-98 loaded at the time at 1.8 and it felt like a boat! Dove slow, turned slow, responded slow.. Slow compared to what I was use and accustomed to with my Diablo110 that I was jumping. Jumped back out of crossbraced to the Crossfire2-97 now loaded over 1.95 "I've gained weight". No performance comparison at all other than bottom end. Crossfire2-97 in comparison to the Xaos21-98 turns faster, dives harder, responds MUCH quicker to any sort of input. I think to get the type of performance out of a crossbraced canopy I would have to be in a wing loading I am simply not going to put myself under.. 2.2 ish probably. I can't say enough good things about the Crossfire2.. Maybe you should demo one before going crossbraced.. You might be suprised? Rhino
  13. Got to give Bush credit for trying...
