  1. This is very interesting. I've been fighting my Ace since Day 1 to get it to open on-heading slider-up. Slider-down it opens just dandy, but slider-ups have been giving me consistent 45deg (+) off-headings. 460 and I have been kicking around theories, such as tail-rolling/folding techniques, but one thing I always do is attach a rubber-band to the left inner C-line and then take a bite of slider mesh to keep it up on the stops. My last jump was off-heading veering to the left and thinking back I'm pretty sure most, if not all, of them have been in that direction. So I'm starting to wonder if this might be the real source of the problem. Perhaps by having the slider rubber-banded to one side I'm creating asymmetric tension and inducing a turn in that direction. Then again I could be all wet. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon
  2. Sorry for the bad luck Suz, but like everyone said, good Karma has a way of making it back to you.

    What Is BASE To Me?

    Every now and then I write (bad) free-form poetry. Figured I'd share. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

    What Is BASE To Me?

    What is BASE to me? It's the moment the foot leaves the rail. It's the moment the door opens for the bull rider. It's the moment the pace car leaves the track. It's the moment the bulls are released in Pamplona. It's the moment you sign a mortgage, or swing a bat or say "I do" at the altar. BASE is being in the moment of absolute commitment... The point at which there is no turning back. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

  7. Actually, I play and enjoy golf myself. I was just thinking in terms of a snappy comeback. I enjoy golf because of the challenge. It's something that's impossible to perfect... you can always refine some skill. And it's multi-faceted. You have driving skills, fairway play skills, approach shots, short game, putting and course strategy. Plus, when you think that you can get an itty-bitty ball into a 4 inch cup from 400 yards out in 4 strokes or less, that's kind of cool. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon
  8. I suppose responding "Golf is for pussies." would have gotten you fired? - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

    base numbers

    One of the deals with the BASE numbers is that it is anonymous. If you have a BASE number you can tell other folks who you are, but you won't get anything out of Rick & Joy over who has what number. And that's the way it should be. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

    BASE in a day

    This forum or dz.com-wide? I didn't think the tone here was too bad, but maybe it's worse over in Talkback... I don't frequent that all that much anymore mainly because the same themes keep resurrecting themselves. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon

    I took it as a compliment to DW actually. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon
  12. Hey, I've tried to get you to jump before but you keep blowing me off for those grippy-suit people. But seriously, if you wanna do league, I'm game. Drop me a PM. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon
  13. Lesseee..... they all know I skydive, BASE jump (**ring** **ring** "You wanna make a jump tonight? Which tower? Hokay, catch you after work." ) and I openly wear all of my piercings. Nope. They may think (i.e. know) I'm a little odd, but they don't mind, - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon
  14. Yeah it looks like it. The one 3-way freefly pic looks like she's jumping with Jimmy Halliday (or Mike Knight, can't quite tell with the helmet). In fact, I wonder if she's the chick jumping with Jimmy & Mike in "Standard Issue". If it is she's a damn good freeflier. The one BASE pic looks like it's off the power tower that was also featured in "Standard Issue" and "Fistfull of F-11". - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon
  15. I'll make sure to keep my eyes open for her at this year's Bridge Day (if it happens ). - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon
  16. I've hookie-poo'd a couple of times, but it was because I was a little low in the swoop. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon
  17. Seems to me it might not be a bad idea to put heating elements of some sort on antennas that are prone to icing. Might prevent this kind of thing from happening in the future. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon
  18. HOOKIE-POO!?!?!?!?!?!? Oh God, Derek is SO not going to live that down! - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon
  19. The words "total chaos" were redefined for me when I visited Ann's and someone turned on the ceiling fan. A Great Dane having a psychotic break is not something you want to be within 10 feet of. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon
  20. I'm interested. Not sure how much of a team I have right now but I'm interested. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon
  21. How 'bout Neverwinter Nights? Anyone have any input on that? - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon
  22. Thanks Kerry... Any chance that some of us existing owners can get "betas" of those new tops for field testing? I'll be more than happy to pay for the final one when he gets the bugs worked out but I'd like to help field test as well. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon
  23. Here are the wallpapers off my two Windoze instances. The second one is me and Snowflake. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon
  24. Well, my luck hasn't been much better (except maybe not having to deal with the gay part) lately so you're in good company. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon
  25. Sounds like you ought to name him Whizz instead. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon
