  1. I read quite a lot of that and - what a load of tenuous nonsense. I could go through Lord of the Rings and find as many parallels to things happening in real life if i looked hard enough. This is where use of the bible becomes dangerous where people try and make out that it is something its not. Moral guidelines and to help people understand their being? Fine if you need a book to help you understand right and wrong. Predicting the future down to the last individual event?? I think not. Another poster who has "Studied the bible for many years " and "really knows the truth" unlike all us unbelievers says the bible predicts without a shadow of a doubt that the end of the civilised world as we know it is this year (or something like that). If he's right I apologise profusely!!! Never try to eat more than you can lift
  2. Nah don't get me wrong - i'll happily drink box wine - but if i was looking to impress its the bottle every time!!! (although the proliferation of screw tops now doesn't have quite the same impact as having to remove a cork!!!!) Never try to eat more than you can lift

  14. In which case - why not use rigid struts? You could use Carbon Fibre for extreme light weight and get rid of a lot of the hassles that come from inflatable bladders? My other question would be around the fact that when you steer a kitesurf kite, the deformation of the wing itself is relatively slight, however for steering a ram air canopy upoi need quite fine control and essentially be able to bend the canopy in half across the middle. would a bladder/ strut not make this difficult??

  20. I'm genuinely curious - why? Kitesurfing kites are designed how they are for a reason. As kites they are actually hugely inefficient compared to a ram air design. What benefit do you get from moving that type of design to a paragliding environment? Never try to eat more than you can lift

  25. No i haven't but the foveon sensor is pretty interesting, however don't get this confused, it is not the same as a 14MP nikon or canon. I found this explanation on another forum i read: A bit long winded, but basically its not an easy comparison. Other disadvantages: only 1 manufacturer of lenses etc. Previous reviewers have said the UI is not as well thought out as some of the Noink and Canon stuff Frame rate is 3fps i believe. Still pretty fast but not AS fast as a 20/30d fewer focus points - not such an issue for freefall i guess Having said that, its good to see valid competition in the market, with Pentax and Sony at the entry level, sigma at entry and mid level and Nikon all the way through thats good news for us!
