  1. It's dangerously loud on the ground, but in the air with freefall noise and stuff, it's just right. I jump with mine on lous all the time without problems When I grow up, I want to be a post whore
  2. Do you get the problem of meeting people (say at the dz) and them "just wanting to be friends?" That pisses me off When I grow up, I want to be a post whore
  3. I still like the t-shirt that says "I'm a bomb disposal expert. If you see me running, try to keep up" When I grow up, I want to be a post whore
  4. I'm with Steve on this - I'm with ya, but if there's a chance of muff ... When I grow up, I want to be a post whore
  5. That's probably cos that's what they are
  6. True. So very true. When I grow up, I want to be a post whore
  7. As far as I'm aware, PISA don't do a demo program, but they offer a full refund if you buy a canopy and don't like it. When I grow up, I want to be a post whore
  8. [overload] So many boobies !! [/overload] When I grow up, I want to be a post whore
  9. I found if I roll the tail, I get a lot of slack on the lines. however, I if do what the guy does in the video and just fold opposite sides over, it seems to work ok. When I grow up, I want to be a post whore
  10. hahaha When I grow up, I want to be a post whore
  11. I don't think it's the weight savings that make the difference. It's the fact they're stronger than metal links, and make it easier to pull the slider down. When I grow up, I want to be a post whore
  12. no one is too young for that !! When I grow up, I want to be a post whore
  13. If you give up the social side, you might as well just give up skydiving. It's jumping with other people and shring experiences that makes this sport what it is IMHO. When I grow up, I want to be a post whore
  14. Nice graph !! That's quite impressive getting 45mph in a regular suit. When I grow up, I want to be a post whore
  15. Read this before you look at the attachment: Quite often we ask ourselves hard to answer questions, like, “What is a bastard?” Then we wax philosophic with metaphysical postulations, incomplete aphorisms, and inconsistent sophisms that make one more and more sure that the only true thing is that a picture is worth a thousand words. In this photo, the guy on the right is a member of a bomb squad in the middle of a deactivation. The guy behind him, …..well, he's a bastard. When I grow up, I want to be a post whore
  16. I meant they're only rated on PD reserves, but can be used on almost any main. I'm getting a set for my hornet as well
  17. Thermals coming off a runway will cause turbulance and your canopy will buck a little. In turbulence, you want your canopy to stay pressurised, and that means letting the canopy fly on full drive. Lightly loaded canopies like student ones will be more suseptible (sp?) to turbulence, but due to their big size, it won't be as much of a problem if one or two cells close off as on a smaller canopy.

  18. As far as I know, they make special reserve ones (which can also be used for tandems), but they are only rated on PD reserves and one other company's I think (maybe Precision?) When I grow up, I want to be a post whore

  22. It wasn't your fault - the planet moved down 10 feet after you took off. You made it ok, and that's the important bit. When I grow up, I want to be a post whore
  23. You're both on my turf !! My pimp ain't gonna be happy !! When I grow up, I want to be a post whore
