    Without reading all the posts again, who said this? The statement that a dog can evolve into a chicken for example is not really understanding how evolution works. They MAY have a common ancestor however, or they may not. Life didn't necessarily evolve all from one single organism, but it may have done. In the same way, noone is saying that we used to be gorillas. The likelihood is that we went through a primate style stage, but that is maybe where the ideas on niche development and speciation start coming in. Never try to eat more than you can lift

    Unusual Experiences

    Stumpy replied to Jib's topic in The Bonfire

    I did this too!!! Guess it was probably a different "Dr O" though, and the opium didn't do very much for me! I kitesurfed from 1 island to another in the Phillipines - had dolphins out there with me for part of the way. That was pretty cool

    Reasonably big DZ, i have only been during boogie time but it seems to have everything you would want! There are a few regular langar jumpers on here so it shouldn't be too long before one chimes in..... Never try to eat more than you can lift

    I have to echo everything Marcanadalysse had to say, Japan is an amazing place with so much to offer culturally and in any other way. I have been a couple of times and never cease to be amazed by how clean it is, how friendly the people are and how much of a "service" culture they really have. It amazes me that you can make a statement such as your last one obviously in ignorance without having any knowledge of what a place is really like. Never try to eat more than you can lift

    Symbi rock - mine fits like a glove and was done in about 3 weeks (I paid for a rush) You up at the DZ this weekend? I think between us we have got pretty much all the brands, feel free to look mine over. Will be there unless the weather is REALLY bad!! (like last weekend ) Never try to eat more than you can lift

    Unfortunately VG jumps in the UK so canopies in that size for that sort of money are a bit like rocking horse poo!! Oh and for information she is 5'10" ish and about 145lbs so she I don't think reach or loading should be a major problem Never try to eat more than you can lift

    If it is possible under a skydiving canopy i would envisage a "spin" as the thing i have seendone by top paragliders where the whole caboodle rotates around an axis running through the centre of the canopy and down through the pilot. Thiunk they call it a helicopter or something. Never try to eat more than you can lift

    diesel or gas

    Stumpy replied to mgerra28's topic in The Bonfire

    Dunno about your particular vehicles, but here in the uk (where fuel economy is important!! ) diesels have much better economy although the fuel is a little pricier, and dependingon the type, they can go on for ever. 151k doesn't sound like very much - just check to see what the major service intervals are and if there is a timing belt change coming up (i think thats the expensive thing - any mechanics confirm??)

    I did Aikido very seriously for a few years - throws locks that kind of thing, not the most fitness focussed though but has good principles and can be very effective. Am currently doing some kung fu and that is good for the fitness and flexibility, however for pure fitness and mental toughness, i once did a combination of kickboxing (3 nights a week) and boxing (2 nights a week), and that sounds like it might suit your needs quite well - or something like BJJ as well. For fun, and flexibility and some seriously spectacular moves however, you can't beat capoeira - check it out I have to say though, that the validity and training even in the same style can vary massively from school to school so your best option is to find all the schools in your area and go along to a few trials to see what you think you might enjoy. Good luck Never try to eat more than you can lift

    Man that looks like a lot of weight stuck on your melon!!! As a dumb question - why do you have the 2 vids - i'm guessing 1 is a PC series and the bigger one.... Hi-8? is that for failsafe tandems/4way/movie quality?? Also - what lid is that underneath all the cameras!? Cheers, Dave Never try to eat more than you can lift

    I think it will be for both - am not sure that there are enough skydivers in spitting distance to make it a feasible business proposition if it was exclusive. They are fortunate in that it will be sited to some other "extreme experience" type attractions such as an indoor ski-slope, so it will probably appeal to the stag party brigade Never try to eat more than you can lift

    Thanks for the pictures Levin - whats the thinking behind the biplane? Is it intended for a purpose or is it just a "curiosity" prototype? Never try to eat more than you can lift

    I hardly ever post in here but for once..... ..... I agree with PJ! I don't understand why our government went from being civil servants to civil evil dictators Problem with laser tag, is that a) we might actually enjoy it and b) they can't tax it any more than they already do.
