  7. THAT IS COOL!!!!! Blue Skies and Smooth Rides!! http://www.aahit.com
  8. I totally agree.. Children shouldn't feel guilty about seeing either parent.. She tried to alienate him against me when she took him but it didn't work.. He was 2.5 and luckily we had a strong enough of a bond she couldn't break it. And I maintained phone conversations with him for that year. I had a Texas judge sign an order stating I would get phone time with my son or he would swear out a warrant for her arrest.. lol. God bless Texas!! :) Rhino Blue Skies and Smooth Rides!! http://www.aahit.com
  9. You know what is frustrating guys.. The other side is a pathological liar. She has been lying for so long she believes it.. I think.. She is unwilling to put my son first because of her own hangups?? I hope I am explaining it right.. So I have to be twice as nice as I should have to be to play her games against her. It is even harder because I have had to lay down my sword so to speak so my son doesn't witness conflict. Thanks for everyones support!! My son loves the DZ also.. He hasn't been in 2 years but it's coming!! I use to take him camping out there all the time.. HE loved it! He would walk around with sprite in one hand and pretzels in the other sharing with LADIES only.. Kind if funny actually.. Blue Skies and Smooth Rides!! http://www.aahit.com
  10. I listened to this song every morning for a year when my son was kidnapped.. I was so afraid that the next time I got to see him he would be grown up and resent me for not being there and that I would be rejected. It brings a tear to my eyes just thinking about how painful it was. All in all.. I did not lose my sons youth and when we got back together "1 year after her was taken from me" we were closer than when his mom took him from me. I pick him up this afternoon for our first 3 night weekend in 2 YEARS!! Here are most of the words from the song.. IT helped me through a hard time. May the good Lord be with you down every road you roam. And may sunshine and happiness surround you when you are far from home. And may you grow to be proud, dignified and true. And do on to others as you would have done to you. Be courageous and be brave and in my heart you will always stay, forever young. May good fortune be with you may your guiding light be strong. Build a stairway to heaven.. May you never love in vain and in my heart you will always remain forever young. And when you finally fly away I will be hoping that I served you well for all the wisdom of a lifetime no one can ever tell but whatever road you chose I am right behind you win or lose. Forever young. I know their are more of you that have or are going through a nasty custody case.. It sucks that people don't play fair and that they aren't honest. The system sucks.. But the payoff for persistence is a happy child that knows "the parent" loves him or her. Don't give up.. EVER.. That little soul that thinks you can do no wrong is depending on you.

  12. The velcro was fine on my rig.. I sent it in for the modification.. Now it will have tuck tabs and no velcro.. It is VERY comfortable.. I for one don't have any complaints..I paid 800 for my brand new shadow racer NOS 2 years ago.. It still looks like the day I bought it. Rhino Blue Skies and Smooth Rides!! http://www.aahit.com
  13. Yes.. As far forward and above your ears as you can get them.. Because to nail the optimum position is very unnatural.. It takes TONS of effort to stay in that position.. Blue Skies and Smooth Rides!! http://www.aahit.com
  14. Here is your answer from John.. I'd put my $500 on a racer,, Rhino Dear Robert, This guy should see the video "Cutaway" it has a sequence of a Racer cutaway. The deployment is in about 2 seconds. Additionally, he must be a new comer and has never see our poster of the 2 second cutaway. Additionally, we have a double cutaway rig which he is welcome to use if he promises to do at least one cutaway with the RSL and video and his own main canopy. The reason for the RSL is to take the amount of freefall time from release to pull out of the equation. The method of comparison is "Time". Time from pilotchute release to full canopy. Canopies do make a difference but we commonly do it in 2 to 2.5 seconds. Anyone who has witnessed a Racer reserve deployment knows this to be true. He should ask the competition for their results and watch them squirm. They will assert that we can't do it and then assert that they can do it as fast. Several weeks ago I challenged Mark from the RW Shop to video a cutaway and then give me the reserve he used and I would do the same. I bet him $500 that we would do it in half the vertical distance. He hasn't responded and I don't believe he will. The formula for converting time to distance is 1/2AT^2 + 2T. Newton wrote this one. If the guy on DZ.Com wishes to see a sequence of the competition that is difficult because they are ashamed to publish their performance. However, the Relative Workshop has a sequence in their Vector II sales video. It is a sequence of Niki cutting away over Deland with the camera angle from the cutaway canopy. He is using a Swift reserve and at 4.98 seconds with the reserve still sniveling the frame changes. In a later video they have leg mounted a camera pointing into a convex mirror with a digital altimeter adjacent to the mirror. They talk about the altimeter being a "precision" altimeter. In fact the read out is in meters and the update rate is every 2 seconds. Put a watch on it and take the data for yourself. I hope this is enough for you. Just remember what John Ruskin said.

    I would like to know how they CONFIRMED him being dead.. There has been no body? Blue Skies and Smooth Rides!! http://www.aahit.com
  19. The meaning of the term failsafe has not changed.. It means if there is a primary stitch failure anywhere in the harness the jumper will not be ejected from the harness.. basically. Blue Skies and Smooth Rides!! http://www.aahit.com
  20. You guys are in for some fun in a few hundred jumps.. I'm hitting my Diablo110 at 1.7.. I lean in the harness and it moves.. The turns can be initiated with weight transfer.. In my Diablo I can initiate a front riser turn, go inverted, bury THAT leg in the harness and the canopy continues to fly in a slow corkscrew STRAIGHT DOWN AT VERY HIGH SPEEDS.. And my canopy isn't that high performance.. Imagine hook at 3.2 on his VX60.. I am just beginning to experience the fun of high performance canopy flight.. It is a blast!! Be careful and plan well.. Have fun!! It gets better :) Rhino Blue Skies and Smooth Rides!! http://www.aahit.com
  21. I am not a rigger but I can confirm one piece of webbing goes through the entire harness.. There is an article on JumpShacks web site you can check out. Blue Skies and Smooth Rides!! http://www.aahit.com
  22. My last tracking dive was fun as hell.. I was tracking with 2 other jumpers. Only they were falling a good 30+ degrees as I was pulling away from them. Derek is right I was exhausted when I was done. It almost looked like they were in freefall and I was almost still. They were falling away that fast. I flew a circle around them before deploying 2000 feet above them. I have 5 jumps on a wing suit also. That was fun.. Slowest fall rate on the wing suit was 59, not good I know.. I haven't jumped a protrac without a wingsuit. But It would be interesting to compare. Blue Skies and Smooth Rides!! http://www.aahit.com
  23. You get the error but the messages still go through. Blue Skies and Smooth Rides!! http://www.aahit.com
  24. You should check out Mullins DZ... It's not in Ca but you might be able to work something out. He has a DZ in Tn and Az.. Blue Skies and Smooth Rides!! http://www.aahit.com
  25. Definately in the design and loading.. I could barely pull the front risers down on an fx114 but my Diablo110 will let me.. Maybe it's the speed, the g's, how fast you enter a turn, angle of attack.. Your not going to get a whole lot of front riser thrills out of a big canopy.
