  1. Sweet, Im tall with a shorter body. Like 6'2. I measured form my neck to my hip and it says its just over 17 inches... "In one way or the other, I'm a bad brother. Word to the motherf**ker." Eazy-E
  2. Can anyone tell me what a C17-1 sized odyssey means? I know the others, but just wondering what the -1 means? "In one way or the other, I'm a bad brother. Word to the motherf**ker." Eazy-E
  3. Anyone know where to find em? "In one way or the other, I'm a bad brother. Word to the motherf**ker." Eazy-E

    Hornet 170

    Anyone jumping one? My brake lines just got replaced and it still bucks somewhat under front risers. Do I need to lengthen them more? "In one way or the other, I'm a bad brother. Word to the motherf**ker." Eazy-E
  5. Everythings sorted! Cypres have treated me very very well.
  6. Nope, my baby stays in a cool cupboard and only goes into the car for the trip to the DZ. And the display is totally unusable. I looked at it very closely and there seems to be a crack coming from the side...but I have no idea how anything could have impacted there, or whether it was abused in a previous life and just needed something to trigger it? But back to my real question, anyone have experience with turn around times, and cost? "In one way or the other, I'm a bad brother. Word to the motherf**ker." Eazy-E
  7. On friday after a jump I found my cypres display cracked/leaking black stuff around the screen I went through the video of the jump and nothing even came close to hitting my rig... I jump a Javelin and it's very well protected against my back so I have no idea how it broke, or whether its just leaking... Does anyone have experience with getting a new display? Turn around times etc? I live in Australia and what makes it worse it that I just got it back from a 4 year service a month ago. And my DZ is a compulsory AAD one. So I have to get a hire one while it travels to Germany.(I think) Anyhow...thats my cry for the day. Im going to have a beer. "In one way or the other, I'm a bad brother. Word to the motherf**ker."

  8. How long until someone comes up with a Digi that changes colour(background colour) when down low? It is viable? "In one way or the other, I'm a bad brother. Word to the motherf**ker." Eazy-E
  9. Bob These are heavy army guys (see also: SAS) on 170's. Mostly. Some on 150's when closer to 100 jumps. Everyone else is between 0.8(light girls) to around 1.2 (heavier guys) Just saying it is being done. Though not by me "In one way or the other, I'm a bad brother. Word to the motherf**ker." Eazy-E
  10. So where does your conservatism end, with people jumping PD300's? Cause by your logic it should. If purely safety was the only concern, we would never jump in more than 5 knots winds with pd 300's... There is a point where people will trade safety for fun. At the moment that accepted equilibrium point is 1.1 to 1 for newbies(with really light people being the exception). 25 years ago it wasnt. It would have been crazy...

  12. Im from Aus, hee every man and his dog loads at 1.2 off student status, and some at 1.4 with less than fifty jumps. Lots of people are doing it and not dying. Canopies dont magically hook you in... "In one way or the other, I'm a bad brother. Word to the motherf**ker." Eazy-E
  13. Well, I jumped a PD300 when there were no other student rigs, and landed dead centre of the circles. Was alot of fun, although slow. I intend to give it a shot and see how I go. I'll also be able to land closer to the hanger (where the peas are) :-) I have a rig already, with a 170 Hornet, so not wanting really cheap gear. 0.7 would mean I'd need a 315 sq ft canopy, taking into account 30lbs of gear... Do they make em that big? "In one way or the other, I'm a bad brother. Word to the motherf**ker." Eazy-E
  14. Howdy Just looking for what sort of wingloading is used on accuracy canopies? Im 190 naked... Also since this would last one day in the classifieds, if anyone can hook me up with a canopy or rig for sale I would greatly appreciate it. I imagine there are a few that have sitting in basements and closets for years. "In one way or the other, I'm a bad brother. Word to the motherf**ker." Eazy-E
  15. so if on a hot day you had to land downwind of a tar road or a red dirt runway, what would be your choice? "In one way or the other, I'm a bad brother. Word to the motherf**ker." Eazy-E
  16. If the dangerous city thing were true, there'd be no skydivers from Joburg. "In one way or the other, I'm a bad brother. Word to the motherf**ker." Eazy-E
  17. 2 weekends ago I saw the mother of all dust devils cruising along the runway while walking to the plane. Apart from scaring the shit out of me, it got me thinking. Which is a rare occasion. Does heat create significantly more turbulence over even mostly similarly coloured ground? Landing always seems to be bumpy (temp was 42C or 107F) even though I land in the middle of an extremely large grassed field. "In one way or the other, I'm a bad brother. Word to the motherf**ker."

  18. In the ASM(australia) there were two guys with less than 150 jumps a piece who docked head down... And we don't have no stinking tunnels here.... PS. That being said I have far fewer jumps, and no tattoos or piercings. So I cant freefly. "In one way or the other, I'm a bad brother. Word to the motherf**ker." Eazy-E

    Anyone ride BMX?

    I want to get one. Im 6'2 so I think a 21.5 inch TT is a must. But I'd like it set up for general mucking about and maybe a hint of flatland...Any tips for bikes, frames or bit n pieces? I used to race (when I was 11) but cracked my frame and hence it ended. Also anyone had experience trying to race as an adult with little prior experience? wet dream is an S&M race bike... But I dont have that much cash.Or even better, anyone got a bike they want to sell? "In one way or the other, I'm a bad brother. Word to the motherf**ker." Eazy-E
  20. All the home school kids I've met have been pretty weird. Everyone gets bullied, its part of growing up. I know a now deceased family friend who got bullied mercilessly for years. Until he beat one of his bullies into ICU for a week with a steel frame back pack. So not all bullies are as lucky as yours "In one way or the other, I'm a bad brother. Word to the motherf**ker."

  22. had that 5 weeks ago. drank a bottle of whiskey(1L) in 3 hours while driving back from holiday. Though I wasnt driving. Apprently I abused everyone in the pub, slurped up an entire pint of rum and coke that I spilt off a table. Made a huge dick of myself in front of my girlfriends friends, asking fat chicks if they were pregnant etc. The moral of the story is: Dont drink scotch when feeling down and out.

  23. I apologise. But I'm still right Para-Service has it on their home page. "In one way or the other, I'm a bad brother. Word to the motherf**ker." Eazy-E
