If you don't want to compete then fine. That's perfectly acceptable because not everyone does. If you want to compete - quit your bitching and get out there. You're only hurting yourself in the end. It really isn't any more simple than that. To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders. ~ Lao-Tzu It's all good, they're my brothers ~ Mariann Kramer

best.show.ever. Seriously.

Nope - we had tickets LOOONG before. We tried to get them when the CD first came out but the venues sold out in seconds. Least we got then this time around

You supported and enabled their actions for years. Why is this any different now? Just cause you're on the other side of the table? Jumping a sinking ship doesn't suddenly make you 'the good guy' Mike. Sorry - I can't say I feel particularly sorry for you. Don't get me wrong. I'm happy that you don't associate with them anymore and maybe I'm being overly harsh but you're going have to prove to me that your intentions were more honorable than financial - after all you were happy to take peoples money (and a paycheck) for years until it began to affect YOUR bottom dollar. For now, I'll remain the skeptic I am but I do hope that I'm proven wrong. To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders. ~ Lao-Tzu It's all good, they're my brothers ~ Mariann Kramer

hehe - I know. I was teasing you cause you replied to the guy who mentioned that most people hadn't read the whole post To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders. ~ Lao-Tzu It's all good, they're my brothers ~ Mariann Kramer

That's awesome to hear

Tomorrow night we head off to the show. Of the 3 best concerts I've ever seen, his Fragile tour (Providence, RI show) had to have been a 1 tie. Awesome. I am hoping he'll play some older stuff too. I think With Teeth is good and different (as he usually does) but I'm hoping some of the show will have sets with his old 'bite'. Blues

Ahh so Mark, you think that a textbook progression (after all that was the original question) should include old technology canopies? IMO (once off student canopies): Lightly loaded Sabre2 category canopy (1.0 or less no smaller than a 170 to begin). Gradually step up the loading over time by descreasing size until the loading gets to around the 1.6 area staying in the Sabre2 category canopy Katana category canopy at the same loading as the last Sabre2 category canopy Gradually step down and increase loading until loads are approximately 2.0 Velocity category canopy thereafter There are no hard or fast jump numbers to put the progression to, but there are definitely minumum jump number/experience categories. I think Brians Germaines (sp?) chart is a good place to start. In a 'text book' progression (i.e ideal) the Stiletto, Heatwave, Original Sabre and PD F1-11 range canopies (old or short recovery arc canopies) wouldn't even make the print. Blues.

Well, I'm not sure why you had such a bad experience with them - I'm sure there's another side to this story (Generally is). I can only say that our experiences were extremely positive and in fact Cedric went out of his way to do some things he absolutely didn't need to at all. We still stand behind our recommendation.

So that means we should accept it? If the sport is going to be taken seriously we need to accept that certain things will not be acceptable (as it is in other recognized sports). There are penalties for use in other sport arenas so I fail to see why this should be any different. I'm sure lots of olympic bodybuilders would like to use steriods. Granted I realize you're not necessarily talking about performance enhancing drugs but still I really can't see why we should be exempt. Blues.

If you want the sport to be taken seriously. Yes. To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders. ~ Lao-Tzu It's all good, they're my brothers ~ Mariann Kramer

Performance Designs offers demo's for $30 (excluding return shipping). That $30 gets the canopy to your doorstep and in your possession for 2 weekends.

YES! I just heard them and picked up their latest CD. Great stuff. Also I'm really enjoying Killswitch Engage right now as well. ps: And Chris - yes you're a poser but we like you anyway To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders. ~ Lao-Tzu It's all good, they're my brothers ~ Mariann Kramer

You'd never get how to say them correctly from spelling them online. There are a few south africans in that area so they can teach you to throw out a few sayings at the local pub.

You're right - so stop giving it or at least be careful what you say to others. You never know who's reading this stuff and what they'll try to do. Whether you realize it or not you are becoming a higher profile pilot. That means when you say things people tend to lend a certain amount of credibility to what you say. They might not understand what you meant, only what you wrote. Then why did you say use the fronts to S turn? Never said there was. There's a time an a place for everything. Your suggestion on WHEN was totally incorrect and, quite honestly, dangerous advice. That's the issue here.
