Unfortunately, most Farmer McNastys became one because skydivers went onto their property w/o permission. Often damaging crops, fences or just being inconsiderate when landing off/looking for gear. I think we would want the next door neighbor kid to ask before looking for his wayward baseball that came over the fence, we should do the same. With a little PR and just being neighborly ourselves, most neighbors will understand living next to a dropzone will have a special feel to it. It just takes one f*cking idiot to turn neighbor to McNasty. I have heard of a few DZs that invite all their neighbors for a BBQ every once in a while to show them that we are normal, just enjoy falling out of planes. They share food, beer and NSTIWTIWGD stories. The neighbors get a different idea of who their jumping neighbors are. Just make sure they leave before the stupid skydiver tricks start. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

There is a dropzone that was finally able to come to an agreement with the local Farmer McNasty. Prior to searching for gear, manifest first called Farmer to inform him that cutaway landed on his property. Offending jumper brought 2 cases of beer as bail payment to get chopped canopy off of Farmer's land. Remarkable what a little pre-negotiation was able to do to come to an understanding. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

Never been officially evaluated, but have had several friends that knew me pretty well when they gave me their opinion of my type. All three said ESTP. After doing a bit of reading myself, I would agree. Too many people use this to pigeon hole others or themselves or explain away why they do something. I think it is good for creating conversation and make you think about yourself and how you interact with others. If I know a coworker is a strong J, I will send an email to get some info verses dropping in on their cube unannounced. If I need to get an opinion from an S/N, one will get all the details, one will get only the bullet points. Coming home after a party, I knew an exGF (an "I") would want time alone to recover where as I (an "E") was jazzed and could keep talking about what happened. If anything, it is a shorthand way to either better understand someone more quickly, or stereotype them. Just depends on how you use the ideas. 50 donations so far. Give it a try.

I use a ring in one of my rigs. The bridle did offset to one side of the ring. I was afraid the exposed ring might snag something. A couple small stitches holding the two sides of the bridle loops keeps them opposed to one another. Works pretty nice and stopped the wear caused by the barrel of the metal link. I found a heavy duty ring with smooth ends at the local hardware store. Cost under a buck. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

Michael, if you put just one tapered hole dead center of the mount, it would hold it on securely and the curved surfaces would keep it from rotating. The fastener would also be perpendicular to both base and helmet for good flush contact. It would go through the velcro strap, which would keep the strap secured to the base. Using a flat head screw mated into a sex bolt base would keep both fasteners low profile in the mount and inside the helmet. 50 donations so far. Give it a try.

Containers and canopies are of an expected pack volume, +/- some. So if you get a smaller I3 and a larger OP143, it will be a bitch to pack. Plus throw in a max size main and it will be stretching the side flaps to pack. Lastly, it will feel like a brick on your back. The again, might get a biggish container, smaller Op143 and it will be just tight-ish. I'd hate to spend that much to find out you are jumping a brick and have my rigger hate me. 50 donations so far.

Do you mean to attach the bridle to the dbag or canopy? Slinks are often used bridle to canopy. I have not seen the slink used for the dbag because a hard barrier like a french link is needed so as the bridle won't pull through the grommet. 50 donations so far. Give it a try.

Things to remember. Good and clear prebrief of TLOs. This is where the the hard work is. My instructor would do one eval dive where he would give you some things to correct to see how you would react. One eval dive would be of what the prebrief covered. He would do just as instructed. Good prebrief equaled easy eval. If you left an opening for confusion or didn't correct his misunderstanding, be prepared for Mr. Toads wild ride. All instructions are giving in the positive(do this, do that, etc) as compared to don't do ... etc. Full gear check(including data card to make sure rig is in date) at gear up, then standard check of 3s and SHAG just before loading plane, pin/handle check in plane. Helmet and seat belt check at taxiing. Student provides review of TLOs in plane. Provide any corrections necessary. There will be some. On exit, be ready for student to try to leave early when you are not ready, or hesitate and get you to leave too early. During dive, watch student and provide any necessary signals, all while maintaining altitude awareness. Make sure "student" sees you looking at your alti. If you give a signal, remember altitude that it was given for later debrief. Student often will bust hard deck. Do as you were taught if that occurs. Make sure you pull on time. During canopy ride, go over skydive to get it set in your head for debrief. At debrief, student will often have a different memory of what actually happened. It is coaches job to be confident of what happened to be able to assist in providing positive feedback on what went well and areas for improvement. And provide it in that order, praise then correction. If you look confident and are having fun, your jump will often go a little more as planned. 50 donations so far. Give it a try.

Tony didn't take any pics of the Venom when he looked at the suit standing in front of me at PIA. But he did eye it up pretty good. We are getting incredible suits with the most range in performance from various manufacturers. If it wasn't for that competition, there would never have been the push to go beyond a souped up classic. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

Used to use electric, but always hated how it pulled on my heavy whiskers. Used a blade and gel/foam/soap and hated it slightly less, but the shave lubricants irritated my skin. Then I found Kiss My Face lotion that works great and is easy on the skin. You use a tiny bit and work it into a lather. It is pricey compared to cheap irritating foams, but you get what you pay for. An 11 ounce bottle will last me for many months. Whole Foods and other top end grocery stores often carry it. I also found a razor that can be easily rinsed clean makes a big difference. It seams like the razor manufactures keep adding blades to make them better. Only problem is it makes them very different to rinse clean. I found the Gillette Mach3 turbo has the best combo of longer lasting blades and rinses well. Even with my heavy whiskers, I will easily get at least a week of good shaves on one cartridge. I rinse my skin with hot water, with hands still wet I put a small dab of lotion in my palm and lather it up. Apply it to my face and shave. I rinse my face when I shower. Total time to shave, about a minute. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
