  1. I am telling you that I do not think this way, but...you ever think that he may think that this country has issues??? Kinda like flying the flag upside down...like he was wearing it??? Just a thought. The way that the flag was hanging that he was wearing was backwards...a sign of a country in distress.
  2. Aerosmith actually said that they requested that the roof be closed. I didnt realize that was what they requested it for though...good stuff. Boston boys...at their best. Go Skydive Moab....
  3. I think that Kid Rock is a typical redneck patriot, but...anyone think that he was making a point???
  4. Kid Rock, although, I owne his discs...I would not call him a "well place citizen"
  5. he was wearing it backwards wasnt he???
  6. how bout dem apples????
  7. things get interesting...
  8. I cant wait to see their view!!!
  9. jimmy & marta...way to go!!!!
  10. any idea why Aerosmith was wearing BASE rigs???? well, I guess the BASE jumping in the pregame show would explain it....whoooooohooooooo!!!!
  11. I cant remember a superbowl for I dont know how many years now...just another reason to hang out and eat crappy food and drink good beer...I am "suiting up" for the game as we speak, go team!!!
  12. yeah, most people I know dont care either, but at least the commercials are entertaining...
  13. Happy SuperBowl!!! Today should be a national holiday...Go Pats!!!
  14. Actually, what caused me to flip onto my back was grabbing and yanking with both hands.*** Yep, that'll do it too...
  15. FYI...If you didnt already know, You probably flipped over on your back because you looked at your hackey. If you stand up in a normal arched position and then mimic looking at your hackey...see what happens to your arch...it goes away, probably causing your instability problems. Keep your head up, it will help you keep yourself square in the harness and stable. That should be your first step (other than packing techniques) in avoiding cutaways. As far as your cutaway and people giving you crap...screw em. you saved your life, good for you. You are the only person that could make that decision. There are always woulda, coulda, shoulda's... I digress....
  16. yeah, I had that problem last night...I had the same problem about a week ago too...I was able to get on in between though. Seems to be having some issues.
  17. Lesson to be learned here...Dont Play Basketball!!!
  18. Well, Go for it then!!! Dont worry I will only expect a 6 pack of your "kick butt" home crafted beers for my consultation services...
  19. Yep, I was there for that one...He got up and asked for a grilled cheese and a Mountain Dew...jumped the next day. Sick mutha!!!
  20. I saw a canopy color design that looked great. It was orange top and bottom skin with grey ribs. It shined really nice in the sky and looked totally different. The colors looked really cool as the sun shined through the combo of the two. Anyways, if this is your first rig...why not buy used??? I personally wouldnt recommend buying all new gear for newer jumpers because you will get rid of it sooner rather than later. Of course there are some exceptions to that based on what your objectives are in your jumping career.
  21. I am not sure which color shows up best against a blue sky...but I would ask yourself what color shows up best from above or what color shows up best on the terrain that you are jumping over. Its a safety issue for me. I would rather have something that shows up over green trees from above so the pilots above you know where you are at. Plus, a bright color canopy can be easier to find in the woods if you cut it away. I try to refrain from any dark colors for those reasons alone. I didnt answer your question, but I thought that I would give you something else to think about from a safety aspect.
  22. You havent met Dag have you??? Meeting him explains a lot of things...just kidding. Now that he got a sensible haircut, I am sure that he is far more responsible and running with the rest of the team at 5 am!!!! Seriously though, interesting debate...
  23. Its minus 9 out right now at the thermometer down the street...whooooohooooo!!!! At least we havent had too much snow and the days are getting longer. So I got that going for me...that and trips to Moab and Florida.
  24. I kinda prefer the term "asshat"
