This weekend seems to be the 4th in a row where it's too cloudy, too windy and way too cold.

ROFL...that's my favorite! I think, if you would show them one of Jebs or Dwains clips, they wouldn't react like they do...

would like to add: -playing guitar =/

Hey, it's one of the first 3 things to learn in a new country: 1. How to order a beer "Ein biere, bitte" 2. How to ask where the bathroom is "Vo ist der toilette?" 3. How to swear "Ascheloch!!" So, I give you..... *note : spellings are more or less phonetic* ascheloch (pronounced ashloke (roughly)) scheissekopf (shys-kahpf) Obviously not Hochdeutsche, but that's asshole and shithead, respectively... Hehe, it's more like: 1. How to order a beer "Ein Bier, bitte" 2. How to ask where the bathroom is "Wo ist die Toilette?" 3. How to swear "Arschloch!!" My favorite is "godverdomme" (it's dutch, don't know the spelling) which is "gottverdammt" in german and goddamn in english.

Nubi question: Why do you want a canopy to stall? Has it something to do with saftey?

OT: What is a "beer line"?

Bought it right after I finished AFF because i got a discount on it. As sad before it's designed to protect your head from getting hit by your (surf)board which on weights a few lbs but I think it's also good enough for some easy RW stuff. Until today I wrote four emails to GathSports to find out, where to obtain a SkyPack for it, without a reply... I think, I'll sell it on Ebay's surfing-section when the season starts.

I have a Lvl 41 Undead Mage on Skullcrusher but didn't played for nearly 2 week.... Got 231 in Tailoring, so if anyone need some 12 slot bags on the server, PM me...

I always hear Mustang....how about something new?

No more then the rest of us Install Battlefield 1942 and do some BASE jumps... ;P

1. When I felt into a river during winter at -5°C as a 10 year old boy. 2. When I was climbing a 30 Meter wall free solo and found no grip near the top...that was the most scary moment in my life.

Like this...? ;P

That really depends on what kind of Riesling do you got. There are differend levels of wine in Germany. QbA, Kabinett, Spätlese, Auslese, Trockebeerenauslese and Eiswein. QbA can be really dry, especially a Riesling, Eiswein (Icewine - the grapes getting harvested only at an outside-temperature around -0°C mostly in January) are the sweetest. Robert Weil from Rheingau is making one of the best Riesling ever imho. His Eiswein is about 250 Euro/Bottle. ;) I'm selling the Spätlese for 21,90 Euro (here in Germany...). That's a really good wine which everyone should taste if you like Riesling. (common) good wines for a good price: Vitiano from Falesco - Italy (awesome) ~ 9 Euro Le Serre Nuove (2001) (2nd wine of Ornellaia) - Italy ~ 30 Euro Pesquera Crianza - Spain ~ 16 Euro (Riserva and Gran Riserva rocks you but they are (too) expensive) Lorinon Riserva - Spain some of the 3-4. Cru from Bordeaux (expensive) Try to get a Brancaia (Italy) if you can. It's Merlot with Sangiovese from Chianti...my favorite!! =) I'm selling old vintage wines mainly and made some tastings in the past. Thats how you can earn money and drink some of the best wines in the world at the same time. ;P My one-and-only favorite is Chateau Petrus 1961...thats really one of the best out there!! When you have some money left, try to get maybe a weaker vintage of Petrus (1973 or the '70s in general (don't pay more that $300)). It's a Merlot but not to compare with any other Merlot I've tried yet...

that should really depends on what city he means... ;P

Thanks for all the hints! I'm still waiting for my Cypres to be returned from it's 8-years check so I could finally jump one of my packjobs. ;P It's getting better but I still have the problem, that the canopy spreads out to much while I'm kneeing on it and "getting the bag around it". But I guess it's just practice... ;)

Yeah!! that worked really good, thanks mate!! =)

Salve, I'm pretty new to skydiving and packing a canopy. I got a used Spectre 190 and was wondering how to get it into the d-bag. Using the search button, I found out that psycho-packing helps to get it into the bag but also slows down the opening. As keeping in mind that the Spectre is already slow-opening I doesn't look like a good idea to me. My problem is, that after laying the canopy on the ground and doing the s-folds, it is to wide to fit into the bag and unfolds itself when I try to "force" it into the corners of the d-bag. I made it 2 times, but can't remember how... ;) Anyone have a suggestion to make it a bit easyer?

Yeah, would be really cool if someone could add it to skydivingmovies.com Have a heart for non-us-dudes... ;)

damn, only tryed .com... ;P

Is it possible to buy it (in english) somewhere in Europe? $14.40 just for shipping seems to be alot for such a little book...
