    SUSHI

    BigSky replied to jtval's topic in The Bonfire

    Oh man this thread is making me crave sushi so bad Sushi is my all time favorite food, but I moved to Montana about a year ago form Portland and as you may imagine their is not much sushi here. There is nothing better than a nice slab of raw salmon on rice!! Thanks a lot for making me have sushi cravings “Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed.

    No repeats here. However I have tried the dive 100 feet to dock with an instructor for my A card three times now without getting it. Good thing coached jumps aren't as expensive as AFF

    I'm going to the LP boogie this weekend and It is going to be torture not having it. I wish I would have ordered it sooner “Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed.

    "did you get ones with the hard cable housings in the channel where you stow the excess cut-away cable so in the event you have a spinner with bad line twist the ends of the cut-away cables don't, potentially, get locked into the twisted up risers making it difficult if not impossible to cut-away?? " That is a good question. It is an Infinity. I dont think the student one I have been packing has that, but it has big risers.

    I am just a newbe and cant answer your question but I do have one question about your post. I have been taught not to cut away from a pilot chute in tow and just pull the reserve so if your main inflates it dosent snag the reserve on the way out. Wouldn't it be better to just have two out? “Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed.

    I ordered it with a red handle. Mr booth's reply summed it up pretty well. I wont be able to hear, smell, taste, or maybe even feel the thing so I may as well be able to see it! I also got the mini risers and an RSL. Thanks for all the advice. “Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed.

    Ok red it is! After some thought I think I care more about my life than a color matching pillow. Now the only thing left to decide it mini risers and rings or standard. I have read all the resent posts and still think this is a very hard decision. I want an RSL, but I would also prefer if my risers broke before my harness or myself. So mini and no RSL, or big with an RSL. I guess that is the decision. Thanks for all the advice! “Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed.

    I am getting ready to order my new container this weekend. It is going to be black blue and gray. I want my cutaway pillow to be gray but I've heard people say it should be red so as not to get confused. Is this a valid concern? I am going to order a D-ring for reserve so I really dont see myself getting confused. Of course I am going to talk to my instructors about it first but any suggestions or experience you have would help. As a side note, I can not remember the last time I was this exited to buy something, not even my first car.

    I had broken lines this weekend. I had a very very hard opening, and then a lot of line twists. the canopy looked very weird to me when I first looked at it and I almost chopped right then but I decided to get out of the line twists and see what it looked like. It controlled ok with toggles and risers so I landed it. It was one line below the cascade. It was either an A or a B line. It was very exciting to say the lest. This thread helped me out though, and I had just done hanging harness review that morning for my A card. Oh ya, my point was I'm glad I didn't chop becaues it got me to the ground safely without having to use my last chance! “Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed.

    Believe me if I could I would! And If I dident have to work enable to afford skydiving, I would quit “Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed.

    I will be there, but only on the first weekend so I will probably miss any drawing “Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and their hopes and dreams. If I didn’t drink this beer, th

    What I would really like to know is how I can get me one of the 50% off vouchers? “Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and their hopes and dreams. If I didn’t drink this beer, th

    No but now that you mention it, he did work on a John Travolta movie. If you have ever seen the movie Swordfish, you will see a very similer helicoptor lift up a bus at the end of the movie. “Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed.

    Na it probably wasent him. He works in Grease and Italy a lot. I was not suprised that he said no because He hates the fact that I am skydiving and I think he makes well over $200,000 a year so its probably not worth the risk. I have thought about it a ton though. He told me the crane could lift something like 40,000 pounds at sea level, I cant imagine how fast it could get you to altitude without a load. Man that would be sweet! The dude who did it is one lucky guy. “Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed.

    This is probably a stupid question but when and how does the sky hook detach itself from the main and your reserve? “Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed.

    Wow that could be my dad flying that thing. He flies for Ericson Air Crane and he works on a lot of fire contracts. He told me a really cool story about some skydiver that was working for them talking one of the pilots into taking him up for a jump at like 15,000 feet. I think bolth of them lost their jobs though and he assured me that I would never get that opportunity on his shift “Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed.

    Dear lord that sound scary! I just did my first hop-n-pop last weekend with my eyes wide open and I was still scared shitless! I really want to hang off the wing next time though. “Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed.
