All I have to say is that shit happens I skydive, therefore I am

Skydiving is much safer sport sport than a lot of people think. Yes, skydivers do get hurt on rare occasion, but I'd much rather jump out of plane, than drive down a busy road. Especially on a bike. I'd definatly agree that if you aren't sure, visit a dropzone and take a look for yourself. I skydive, therefore I am

Whenever a rig comes in at Hinton, Maddy always sends me an email to say. There's always kits for sale, but being a student, I can't afford more than about £1200 so that puts half the rigs out straight away. I skydive, therefore I am

I don't really intend on doing this as i sounds a bit dodgy, but I just wanted to know exactly what happens. I skydive, therefore I am

I don't mean let go of it, just let it back up to normal full-speed-flight position. I'm always checking around me, even behind me - don't want to be in a bad position in relation to other people. I skydive, therefore I am

Instead of the sight I've seen quite a few people using A4 paper hole-reinforcers on their goggles. I skydive, therefore I am

Try it with the DMA setting switched off - it might make a difference as not all CD drives like it. I skydive, therefore I am

Are you copying cd-cd or Hdd-cd? If it's cd-cd, put the 2 different drives on different IDE leads (ie. one on the primary channel, one on the secondary). You've got a nice system, so I don't see why this is happening. I skydive, therefore I am

What exactly is a 'wingover' and how do you perform it? Is it when you stall the canopy and suddenly let go of one of the toggles? I skydive, therefore I am

I heard of one tandem passenger who landed and said that the first THREE parachute failed. but luckily the FORTH one worked !!! 4 !! She must have been on about the drogue, then the main, then the reserve p/c + free bag, then the reserve itself. I skydive, therefore I am

moronic gear question of the day..
SkydiveMonkey replied to NtheSeaOrSky's topic in Gear and Rigging
The best thing to do is ask. I know you'll never be put into a situation when you're a student where you'll be jumping something you haven't been briefed on, but the best thing to be in this sport is curious. If you don't know, find someone who does. Get someone to show you everything on the kit, and how it compares to an experienced rig (le. throwaway pilot chute) as you'll be jumping one before long -
I heard 1:250, but I expect this can change a lot between DZ's. I skydive, therefore I am
-
I currently use throwaway because I'm not up to the 200 jump limit on pull-out yet. I'd prefer a pullout system because of the no horseshoe possibility, and there being a much reduced risk of p/c in tow (which is the one mal that scares me). I might get my rig converted from a pin to a teflon cable though to reduce horseshoe risk. I skydive, therefore I am

On a golf tour in Ireland, Tiger Woods drives his BMW into a petrol station in a remote part of the Irish countryside. The attendant at the pump greets him in a typical Irish manner completely unaware of who the golfing pro is. "Top of the mornin' to yer, sir" says the attendant. Tiger nods a quick "hello" and bends forward to pick up the nozzle. As he does so, two tees fall out of his shirt pocket onto the ground. "What are dey den, son?" asks the attendant. "They're called tees" replies Tiger. "Well, what on de good earth are dey for?" inquires the Irishman. "They're for resting my balls on when I'm driving", says Tiger. "Feckin Jaysus", says the Irishman, "Dem boys at BMW tink of everything!" How do I fall? PHUKINFAST !!!!
