Pete.... stop throwing your handles!

Next time, bring your "woofo" girlfriend out to the DZ. Someone there is bound to make her happy. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

That same plan killed an Australian jumper last year. Had an aad fire while doing a HP manoeuvre, opened into a stable 2 out, induced a down plane and went in under a down plane with his hand on the cutaway... As always.... Altitude awareness is critical! But, good point. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

So when will Kawasaki be putting this into Ninja's?

Shameless bump... I've been using the G-10 for a few years with good results, but, the frame rate is slow. I just looked at the G-16 at National; 9 frames per second in continuous mode. They went back to the solid mounted screen eliminating the swinging door screen making it even smaller! Has anyone looked at this camera or is anyone using one? It looks like they've solved the frame rate issue? It still has a remote port for a tongue switch... $499. US

That's quite the tail! Thank you! But, how do you like my new ride? Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

Oh hell Sandy, Iowa's practically in Canada. Go pick it up? Of course, you'll have to stop in and say hello as you pass thru..... Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

I've been away from the forums this summer. Because, when I'm not jumpen, I've been riding. Pic taken near Deals Gap. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

If you've ever done a down plane (CRW) you know how fast the two canopies fly away from each other after you release. I've always told myself (this advice is not for students) that I'd induce a down plane and then cut away from a two out. However, I guess I never thought about line twist in a two out??? This definitely creates cause for concern. So, who's up for some "line twist CRW"? Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

I've bought a couple canopies from Canada... It was not a problem. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

I have a fair number of round jumps, including round reserves both belly mount and piggy back. I always describe it like this... Stand on a 4 foot box, and jump to the ground. However, in those days, I only pushed the scale to 160lbs. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

Yup! But back to the incident being discussed... Just out of curiosity - Has anyone voicing their strong opinions regarding the character & alleged reckless behavior of this BOD member actually spoken with him about what happened? Or for that matter anybody talk to Tyfani to get her take on what happened? Maybe it's just me, but when I step back and look at the big picture as far as the discussions thus far - it seems a fair amount of speculation & hearsay is being considered absolute and verifiable fact. I've seen a few 'testimonials' given by people that say they were there and witnessed the incident, yet even their recollections don't seem to match. I see where there have been a couple investigations by the governing body and their findings didn't seem to deem expulsion necessary. Again...maybe it's just me - but I'll reserve judgement until ALL the facts are on the table & that just isn't the case here...yet. I've been following this thread pretty closely. That being said, I find it interesting how so many are calling for this, demanding that, opinionating on everything, and wanting immediate action. The bottom line here people; USPA has a procedure in place to cover this whole situation... VOTE! That's right, you (each and every one of you) have the right to cast your vote. So, VOTE! It's that simple. Stop bitching, crying, complaining, making up facts, etc. and VOTE. Yep.... it's just that simple. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

Most DZ's I've had the opportunity to visit have been wonderful. And, I'm guessing, most of them have had bad days. Some day, give the first DZ another try. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

... I was just going to guess they are one and the same? Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

No doubt! It's definitely easier to have a ready made product. I've been dabbling it electrical engineering since I was a kid, so hacking the remote wasn't a huge issue. I don't really see many people going this route. Interesting stuff... But the best part of the hype-eye is the indicator lights. I love knowing what my camera is doing.

Pot, meet kettle. Wow, JP. I've always had more respect for you than that. Coming from you I take that as an unnecessary insult and don't feel it was deserved. Oh well. Chuck... I read sarcasm into that post? But, then again, I'm the guy who taught the pot how to be a pot and the kettle how to sit on the fire.

Hmmm? This might be a good time to post from your "other" computer? Those "other" shots that could strengthen your case would be interesting to see. I would agree with Fast above... this may not be the best way to make friends and succeed in skydiving. In fact, from my seat, I smell sour grapes. So, those other shots.......?

I may have mentioned this somewhere before, but I almost had a date once.
