Does anyone on here jump there, or spent some time there recently? I did my AFF and spent a few months jumping there back in '01, and just curious who's still there. Staff and fun jumpers. _________________________________________ "If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?"

Hey, I had that as my background for a long time as well. All I know about it is that it was taken in Hawaii. Check the two HI dz's web pages...it may lead you to your answer. _________________________________________ "If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?"

When I was in the market last year I found them to be pretty much standard across the board. I suppose since they're still new, and there's nothing better out there yet, nobody needs to get rid of them bad enough to have a special sale. $.02 _________________________________________ "If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?"

I really don't think it adds that much to the visuals in races or football games. I guess every now and then they get a good shot, but it just doesn't seem worth it to me. _________________________________________ "If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?"

QuoteI drink cold coffee if that is all there is in the truck. *** Mmmmmm...so good. In the winter months the coffee is hot and fresh in the morning on the way to work, and cold and refreshing on the way home. Excellent! Summer time, on the other hand...just not the same...but still do-able in a pinch. _________________________________________ "If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?"

Domestic: Sam Adams, Boston Lager; Boston Ale is pretty damn good too. Import: Ayinger, Ur Weisse (sp). German hefeweizen with a very subtle fruity after-taste. I'm drooling just thinking about it; but it's very hard to find for me. _________________________________________ "If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?"

How far will DZO go in insulting you?

Could it be that he IS preoccupied with caring for his dogs while he is at the dz all weekend? _________________________________________ "If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?" -

I don't think the no dog policy is at question here; it sounds to me like the DZO's dickish attitude, and rude, uncalled-for repsonse is the issue. It says more about his character than his policies.

14 yrs old, broke my hand when I hit the padded wall in the high school gymnasium after loosing a wrestling match. 19 yrs old, New Years Eve, I was hammered and apparently running my mouth to someone not so drunk, I turned away for a moment then quickly turned back into a fast moving fist. Never saw it coming; not that it would have mattered, I'm sure I didn't have the reflexes remaining to duck anyway. Resulted in my orbital broken in two places which required reconstructive surgery with titanium. Plus multiple soft tissue injuries, pretty much all the standard ones that active American males get. _________________________________________ "If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?"

Sounds good Doug. Thanks for suggesting I come along on that one, it was pretty F'n cool. As for the fish...I think it's a Bullhead. I don't really remember, the cooler was empty by that time. No, not really, just a funny picture I found. Later Dan _________________________________________ "If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?"

APPLAUSE!! That is rare. All this time I thought it wasn't allowed or something. But I must say, there was SOME pretty good off-topic additional info given here. _________________________________________ "If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?"

Jumpshack offers a 164 sq.ft. Firebolt (I jump one, it's awesome) (Anyone): How does a hybrid hold up compared to 100% ZP? Anyone else have any opinions to add on the Firbolt?

What do you not like about your current main is maybe the first question. How will doing a half downsize help that problem? The openings either beat the shit out me, or take 1200 feet. The flare sucks; I've tried it several different ways, and it just feels worn out. Bottom line is that I've set aside the money and I am going to buy a new canopy. I'm not an aggressive pilot, and not eager to get under a rocket-chute any time soon if ever. I want something that's suitable for me now, and that I won't want to downsize out of over the next few hundred jumps. If a "half downsize" is a possible solution then great. But as I said before, I'm just trying to be thorough and exlpore all options. _________________________________________ "If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?"

That was my initial plan, and possibly what I will do. I'm just being thorough and exploring all options to make this a logical, educated purchase. _________________________________________ "If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?"

No. No. When you build the same shape in different sizes it won't fly the same. So when most manufacturers introduce a new size, they build a prototype, jump it, change it, build another one, etc. Since the manufacturer isn't going to be able to "do it right" when making a custom size, some makers won't do it. Many canopies are cut with a computer controlled hot-knife or laser. Pattern availability shouldn't be an issue. Makes sense, thanks. _________________________________________ "If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?"

Is waiting to downsize until you are ready out of the question?
