Clicky Edit to add: That's an annoying subject line! -
No discussion necessary. It blows my ass! Actually that might be enjoyable whereas winter isn't!!!
-
...if you shot yourself in the head?
-
Do all AM towers have insulators or could you get a low power AM tower that wouldn't need them?
-
We're only cool on the BASE side of the fence. We found that out early on and that's the real reason we got into BASE. Although, I guess it's good they don't know who Abbie is!
-
Ooh...Multiplicity!!! Yes?
-
You bastards!!! Hope you're having a good time. Abbie, don't jump, let the ankle heal.....you pussy!
-
Ok, there's NO way I'm letting you EVER set up a static line or anything else for me then!
-
What's to stop them from just saying you were doing harm in some way and throwing you in jail without access to any lawyers? This is heading towards the Speakers Corner huh?
-
Ok, then forget it. My comments were useless. Although I'd say you should be shot if you bought that thing at Wally-Mart. You probably lost at LEAST 50 IQ points just driving into the parking lot!

HOLY SHIT!!! You're the first woman I've ever heard say that! Oh. -

This is similiar to why people drive Porsche's or Corvette's or Ferrari's when they have no intention what-so-ever of taking them to a track. Why have that kind of car and spend that kind of money on something when you'll never use 90% of its capabilities? And yet people do it...many, many people, probably several on these forums! Just a thought. -
My concern wasn't the price. If the carabiner breaks before the breakcord does (because it's a piece of junk! ) and didn't produce enough force to open the container and extract the canopy then you'll be relying on your PC to do the work. Ok I've just stopped to think about that again and I'm realizing that the breakcord doesn't see much force until the canopy is already at line stretch huh? How much force do you think is required to open the container and extract the canopy to line stretch?
-
One disadvantage to using a carabiner instead of a rapid link would be that after the main breakcord breaks and the bridle is pulling the CWY SL off the object there is a possibility of the carabiner hitting something on the object hard enough to open the gate and catch itself on the object. I guess this is what the second bit of breakcord is for but still...
-
I think a rapid link would be fine that wouldn't scare me but that wal-mart junk does.
-
You don't worry about those piece of junk fake carabiners breaking before the breakcord does. This might bring up the whole debate about 80lbs. vs. 160lbs. needed to break the breakcord. 160lbs. on those junk 'biners kind of scares me.

I love Coke with lime!

That's funny. In the end after my trip I called and left a message with the woman I had spoken to several times previously. I told her I thought it was really unprofessional of them to just not call back and then told her the story of the great things they missed!
-
Yeah, I had talked to them several times. They had plans on filming me. They were going to come out to the Potato Bridge with me earlier this year. I called them back one time but I never heard from them again. That was fine with me because I had changed my mind about wanting to be on TV anyway. I can tell you they would've had a good show if they came! That's the trip I ended up breaking my femur and needed a hip replacement. They also missed all the fun contraptions and silly testing we did in Tom's backyard.
-
This one? Edit to add: Same one as above (bad timing), but mine's clicky!
-
And because saying you got BASE gets you hot chicks! I mean take a look at the hotties Abbie has gotten... Ok, well, maybe scratch that idea.
-
I jump with half a hip replacement. I had the femural head replaced but not the socket.
