Idiot.. Troll...

I get JUST as much speed if not more speed from a 180 hook than anything more.. Plus I can control my lane, plus I only use a small lane of airspace, plus I fly down a runway ALWAYS knowing my out, plus I have complete control of my altitude loss and my plane out, plus I can enter between 700 feet and 450 feet and let off the front risers whenever I want.. I appreciate the lane control of the 180.. My swoop mentor did it.. His reasons were very sound in my opinion and I would be safe saying I will always prefer the 180 hook.. Rhino

Frankly I hope it goes to $5 a gallon. Or even runs out.. That way people would be FORCED to be economical and move to cleaner forms of energy. Maybe even ride bikes to work or work from home..

How the hell do you know? Do you speak baby? You probably weren't aware of the after affects of ANY type of anesthesia on a new born baby. Most people aren't aware. Just because you don't think he was tortured doesn't make it right.. Why don't you go down to the local Dr's office and have your parts numbed and cutt off. Maybe in 40 years or so you will forget it ever happened? Aside from my frustration at this subject I do admire the fact that you were at least there. And at least you had the heart to make sure he was at least slightly numbed.

Agreed.. If I have 10 more boys NONE of them will be circumsized.

NOT A FACT, BUT AN OPINION.

Oh My God... Some of you people are CLUELESS AND SELFISH.. I'M OUT OF THIS THREAD BEFORE I START TELLING THE "LOP IT OFF" PEOPLE EXACTLY WHAT I THINK OF THEM. IGNORANT TO SAY THE LEAST. IF YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE YOUR CHILD CIRCUMSIZED AT LEAST HAVE THE BALLS TO WATCH IT. THAT'S RIGHT. DON'T BE A COWARD AND LET THE DR'S WISK YOUR CHILD AWAY AND WHEN THEY COME BACK THE DEED IS DONE. GO WATCH IT, HOLD YOUR BABIES HAND AND LOOK HIM IN THE EYES,, IF YOU DON'T YOU ARE COWARDS, THE DR. WON'T LET ME IN YOU SAY? WHY DO YOU THINK THAT IS? NOT BECAUSE OF STERILITY. THEY KNOW YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO HANDLE IT.

No.. There aren't...

I made that same mistake with my first son.. Studies show that men that get circumsized later in life lose a CONSIDERABLE amount of pleasure. Almost to the point of missery. Our sons won't complain because they won't EVER know what they might me missing.. Rhino

This was an issue that was raised before my son was born.. We chose not to get him circumsized. That whole cleanliness thing is a crock of shit. The foreskin HELPS keep him clean. He has never even been red or slightly irritated in 9 months.. Do a search for the videos or circumcision. Watch what they would do to your child. They strap his arms and legs down and lop off a piece of skin that he was meant to have.. Birth and thereafter isn't suppose to be a hellacious process for a newborn. They develope neuropathways in their brains very early. That panic, emergency experience is simply unecessary. More and more parents these days are chosing not to have their children cirsumsized. That would be like cutting the clit out of a female baby? That would be completely unecessary.. I was circumsized.. So was my son Daniel.. Why? Because I didn't do my homework and because "I was that way".. I thought that was just what you had done. I was wrong.. Our son Ethan will be able to make that choice himself when he grows up. Even if he is 16 and has to go through the process that is better than a baby doing it with no coping skills. I would vote against it. All the reasons people list are MYTHS.. Watch the video. When I saw the HORROR that newborn baby went through I was out for good. A newborn shouldn't have to do that and we don't have the right to make the decision to have BILLIONS of "pleasure" type skin cells cut off of their bodies. Rhino

My vote on a lightly loaded elliptical canopy would be for the Diablo. Very capable and amazing canopy.

I did my first 2 the season the day before yesturday. Gentle carves. Couldn't feel my hands well enough to be agressive and don't want to risk dropping a toggle. Feels good to be back in the saddle.. Rhino

ALLEGEDLY is a huge word. Rhino

Diablo is great...

http://www.theinterviewwithgod.com/windowmovie.html I wanted to share this with you all

What is the standard video frame rate?

Cool.. I'll check that out.. Mucho appreciated :)

What type of video compression is best to use?

Cool... I'm putting videos on the net so I need to make the quality / size realistic..

What is the highest compression video format to create? Best bang for the size I guess? AVI? MPG?

Yep.. spaceland... I had to take it down.. I REALLY have to watch the bandwidth at the new host. Someone can put it in the video vault.. Rhino

I've got 450+.... I was right around 100 jumps at the time...

Coming down in 5 minutes.. Maybe someone can add it to the video vault as an example of WHAT NOT TO DO...

It didn't hurt until that night.. BOY DID IT HURT.... Corona and Alieve helped very much.. I felt so stupid I didn't show my face at the dz for weeks... Rhino

I did a 90% to the right and 180% to the left front risers.. Pretty stupid thing to do.. Just imagine how stupid I would have become had I nailed my first non-planned, 90-180 swoop!! I would have ended up in the incident reports after being convinced that I was totally the shit! SPLAT!! I'm glad I bounced... Rhino
