  1. Free gear, free jumps, and a monthly bonus for staying current. Best job around. SONIC WOODY #146 There is a fine line between cockiness and confidence -- which side of the line are you on?
  2. What...Did the Juicy girls start taking the week off? SONIC WOODY #146 There is a fine line between cockiness and confidence -- which side of the line are you on?
  3. Sign me up for some pink meat...as long as its not sauage. SONIC WOODY #146 There is a fine line between cockiness and confidence -- which side of the line are you on?
  4. Anyone correct me if I am mistaken, but this works because the data is actually burned on the top of the cd and then coated on the bottom. When you scratch a cd/dvd you are only scratching a sort of clear coating. Most gouges and scratches dont deflect the beam enough to cause any real damage, and the ones that do can be buffed out. I could be wrong, but this is how it was explained to me. SONIC WOODY #146 There is a fine line between cockiness and confidence -- which side of the line are you on?
  5. Why are these two activities so tied together? Is it the battle of the elements we desire, the thrills of doing something that the majority of the world fears, or simply we love the gear?

  6. I hold them by the edges, but the stack them on top of each other CAREFULLY! Doesn't really make sense! Luckily, scratches can be removed now. SONIC WOODY #146 There is a fine line between cockiness and confidence -- which side of the line are you on?

  14. Let us know how your progression comes along. blue skies SONIC WOODY #146 There is a fine line between cockiness and confidence -- which side of the line are you on?
  15. 1) yes....arch, relax, heal taps 2) Some family members never come around. They just see the news and know of the dangers. After you survive a number of jumps, they usually stop worrying as much....but not completely. Since you havent done your first AFF jump yet, dont get too concerned with spins. Just get out of the plane and go through the drills your instructors want you to complete. You have plenty of time to get to turns/spins.

  16. I agree. One of my friends recently had the same issue and relaxing with adding heel taps corrected the problem. Give it a shot, and dont get too frustrated. Getting through AFF doesnt really let you know what kind of skydiver you will become...except maybe a very relaxed, and patient one. Let us know what you decide and how it all works out.

  17. 27 minutes. Bit slow, but getting back into it. SONIC WOODY #146 There is a fine line between cockiness and confidence -- which side of the line are you on?
  18. true. But wasnt his focus on PLF? Am I missing someone in the show. The only CCI I saw was the one that explained PLF's and did the study with the pressure plates. SONIC WOODY #146 There is a fine line between cockiness and confidence -- which side of the line are you on?
  19. I'm not a swooper and I'm a toggle monkey on landings. However, at altitue I use dive loops...because I have them. I will say that before I had them, I never felt comfortable just pulling on the front risers, so I enjoy them.

  20. AHHH!!! Thanks for clearing it up for me. It was late and i just finished swimming a 1500 after a long day at work. Apparently I missed interpreted what happened to her when I was watching two instructors jumping with a student but listening to her speaking. But thats why I post here....for education and clarification! SONIC WOODY #146 There is a fine line between cockiness and confidence -- which side of the line are you on?
  21. It was supposed to be factual. It was stories from three people that survived bouncing in. At least that is what it was supposed to be. First person was doing her second AFF jump (said from 4k), but i dont remember jumping from 4K on any freefall. Hell, i dont consider a jump from that height a freefall. Anyway, they just said they lost sight of her when she pulled, no other information was given. However, the show kept making it sound like she just bounced (no canopy). Never made a reference to where her instructors where on the jump, how many canopies were open when they found her, where her handles still attached, etc. Then they interviewed her and she didnt remember anything. Second persron was a britich para. who on a static, had full canopy, released his kit and said the shock released one of his release latches on his riser. He burned in, shattered his tib/fib and had it amputated. This one is the best....Number three wasnt even a F* skydiver/jumper. Slipped off the side of a mountain on a hike in the snow. Sorry so long winded. It just pisses me off when TV and the media make our sport out to be so dangerous when they cant even get all/if any of the facts about accidents. Just venting to my fellow jumpers really. If you want a good laugh, or your blood pressure to rise a little, look out for the show.

  22. Has anyone else watched this show on tv? A fellow skydive and I watched this load of crap last night and I'm wondering how they are able to make such a show without anyone who's an expert, or even a skydiver having input.

  23. UH-1, HH-60, and an HH-53 Not sure how close to your helo's listed are to these three but fun fun fun. SONIC WOODY #146 There is a fine line between cockiness and confidence -- which side of the line are you on?
