Lol ... just imagine something like this landing at your dz in the middle of busy day
-
Got this from Russian dropzone site.
-
Ok then ... it is not only me, my cell phone or reception area ... Time to say good bye to them
-
Well ... that's a different story. I don't think there is a perfect phone company that does not have any reception problems. I was OK with Sprint until recently. Now, after having to explain several people why I did not reply on important calls, I am seriously thinking about switching.

I had exactly the same problem last weekend. Several messages were left on Friday and I didn't get them untill Saturday afternoon.
-
Does anybody else have this problem? The voice and text messages are delivered with 1-2 day delay. This is extremely irritating I am ready to switch to different provider but first I would like to make sure that this is not "Provider specific" problem.

Last summer I saw a very experienced JM/Canopy pilot landing his reserve while holding a main D-bag (with the main still packed) between his knees. Apparently, he had a baglock, cut away but the main D-bag with all the mess did not separate. He pulled the silver. I wonder how would your algorithm work in a situation like that Plus, in a low speed situation there is a chance that after cutting away close to AAD firing altitude, you will NOT generate enough speed for AAD to fire.

Well ... I think if you choose the targets with people on them you are not trying to score the points

I recently met this guy who inspired me to create this poll. The question is do you imagine shooting real people when exercise at shooting range with paper targets? Thanks for voting.

The public opinion is pretty much formed and influenced by mass media. Everybody knows about Saddam. I wonder how many know what happened between tutsi and hutu in Rwanda. There was no need for precise bombing or large scale military operation to stop the genocide, but the whole world was watching and letting them kill.

Lol ... Hi! I just got back from team meeting It only took us 7 hours and God knows hoe many bottles of vine ...
-
, , ... Phew, Ok, I feel better. LOOOOL .... someone else said that! Edited to add: HOLY SH*T that is THE UGLIEST focking cat I think I've ever had the unfortunate experience of seeing!!! Makes the above quoted comments all the more meaningful...
-
Bahahahahaha Ron, this is hilarious. You posted this at 1:26 PM. Still did not sober out after last night? I am going to go ahead and vote for her ... I mean for cat, but dude, are you sure she is a type of girl you really need? I mean ... don't you think some skydiver chick would be better for ya? P.S.: LOL ... Man, look at the results!!! I cannot believe she's winning. You gonna have to buy a lot of beer for all dzcommers after you get laid

Not sure about riding it down part People do all kind of fun staff after completing the formation. Just don't piss the judges off
-
I'd recommend to learn some basic 2-way terminology before you progress to larger formations star cat sidebody compressed accordion open accordion ect. Memorizing the simple 2-way formations will definitely help to learn the formations containing more people because they all built using the same principles. In addition, the names of larger formation are often based on 2-way terminology.

Well, since I'm a doctor I would like to offer some professional help. It is not going to cost a lot, only $5 per pack gob Significant improvement is guaranteed after one weekend, but the actual results can vary.

One old Indian said that man should never talk about his dreams. I always follow his advice
-
Plus you can read your alti while still in track.
-
Huh ... I did not realize that NSL sells them for only $25 Thanks!
-
I like Neumans – they are pretty comfortable and can be easily washed. The only downside is cost. Could you post a link when you are done with research?
-
Just wanted to add that having a freefall reference is quite helpful for improvement of tracking skills. Video is good, but usually it only captures the first few seconds of track after break off and the angle is not ideal for evaluation of your body position. Every time you make a skydive with someone whose tracking skills are proven to be good, try to notice your position in a sky relatively to that person immediately after break off and during track (of course, the safety is a first priority and you should not sacrifice it for this exercise). The things to pay attention to are the distance (can you track as far as that person?) and levels (are you on the same level, lower of may be even higher?). But once again, tracking dives with free flyers are not the best way to improve flat track since they usually use different body position.

High: Stopping by in a neighborhood bar, meeting four very attractive and well educated girls and chatting and drinking beer with them all night. Low: At the end of the night, having to answer a whole bunch if regular whuffo questions after a bartender who knew me brought up the jumping out of planes thing
-
Well, I guess I will have to agree with you
-
It's not that I am trying to deviate from the major topic of this important discussion, but I find that Internet is full of smart and brave people
-
Just on the internet... Oh well ... at least internet relationships are pretty safe
