Ha, yup. I've been all over the US in Mexico and Canadia. I lived in the Azores for 2 years, but I was a toddler, so I guess that doesn't really count. So you haven’t really seen a lot of Russian girls

Have you actually been outside ?

Nice try. You know what I'm saying, even though you're trying to pull attention away from the purpose of this thread and start a side debate. LOL ... what I am really trying hard is to finish analysis of huge chunk of data and go out tonight

So the criminals are not people?

Oh man. Your butt will be in trouble when she becomes a better fighter than you are

Not really.

So lets say, I have two degrees (masters and advanced) and I speak several languages other than English. According to you I am ignorant?

Why would it matter to anyone else what languages that you speak fluently? Well, it doesn't. It's nobody's business. Speak whatever language or languages that you want to speak. That same respect should be given to others. This thread nicely demonstrates that ignorance and lack of tolerance to other cultures / nations perfectly correlate.

Oh, I see

Wow. As an immigrant from Eastern Europe I would like to ask you to elaborate this statement.

Sorry for your loss BIG HUGS

Swiss German (dialect, but Germans normally don't understand it...) German Portuguese Spanish English Some French Some Italian Quite impressive

Good post

I am curious how many of those who actively participate in this discussion (except for VanillaSkyGirl) fluently speak more than one language?

Yes, you got more power on lower legs. Initial steepness depends to a great extent on the way how you leave the formation. One very common mistake people make is turning around and starting to track as quickly as possible. As a result, you transition to your flat track position through some sort of delta (more appropriate for diving) and loose altitude. De arching and grabbing the air before you turn around, during 180 and first second of tracking will help gaining altitude relatively the rest of formation. The second issue is body position during a track. The most important details you want to pay attention to are - de arching (upper body and center of gravity) - brining the shoulders up and rolling them in - brining arms close to torso and keeping them low (not behind your back) - fully extending the lower legs (bending the lower legs is very common mistake) There are several very good articles about tracking here at DZ.com. Do a search for Hooknswoop's posts. P.S.: I don't think that tracking dives with freeflyers are helpful for improving the flat track.

LOL Most ridiculous statement I have recently heard ...

I also heard some rumors that Mr. Putin plans to ban vodka

Guys sniff women's panties? That's just sick! Absolutely There is always scientific or close to scientific justification of human behavior. The same answer - Phermons!

I am sure a lots of guys will now rush to video stores to rent it

LOL That's exactly what we do – mess up with genes and see what happens

Real code is actually quite boring - just four letters in different combinations

You are right ... The last immunology class I took was in Russia

I suppose they refer to main histocompatibility complex (MHC)

Yup. There is nothing new, the general concept is more or less understood, but of course there are a lot of details to uncover. I believe the term chemistry comes from 'biological attraction' which is regulated by several factors (voice, visual appearance) with phermons playing a major role. Basically, chemistry is biochemical compatibility (simplified explanation). Everything else is attraction that can be supported by biochemical compatibility or can be not.

Not true ... Actually, the fact that hi posted in this forum indicates that the gap between disciplines is closing. What we need? I would like to see more serious canopy control articles in Parachutist! Edit to add: Gotta appreciate the loyalty of RW folks - the post is still here and has not been moved to general skydiving discussion
