  1. As a new freshman in HS, I saw this senior picking on a little scrawny freshman to the point of tears. Did you know you can get thrown out of school for sneaking up on someone and smacking them in the back of the head with one of those rather large dictionaries?

  5. Can you look like you're standing up to go wee wee? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  6. Mirrors can be used with the explanation of "jumpy with someone behind me." The Win+M keys minimize everything. EDIT: I am the boss Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

  9. OK... I'm there. I didn't even catch the 147/4 - currency's going to make me agree with everything said on here. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  10. Now THAT was some funny shit. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  11. Perhaps it wasn't the camera so much as it was the L bracket. Would you have any objections to start doing RW with a side mount as a learning path with 147 jumps? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  12. He now has 147 jumps... Enough to get a Coach rating and work with students, but would be considered "reckless" to learn to fly with a camera? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

    Ahhh... eat what you want and get bigger freefly pants. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  14. My being a skydiver helped when I got my PPL too. Most PPL's I've had as skydiving students do a great job with canopy control and allow me to communicate with them using a common frame of reference. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  15. Sounds like you did well. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

  23. Dave, Like you said in a further down thread, it just becomes a floating hackey, but I still found it a bit unnerving on the second one where it had floated up and little high and my pinky happened to graze it so I knew where it was. Took it to my local rigger nd had him sew a _small_ piece of velcro to the FF handle and the opposing piece on the inside of the right closing flap. As with any velcro, just got to keep an eye on it, but it hasn't floated since. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
