I've got a DB170. After I had TOO much fun on my Stiletto 135 and busted my ass, I called Square1 and asked what they had in a cheap 170, and that was it. I'm only loading at ~1.1, but I like it. It opens nice and it's zippy in the air. Flare power leaves something to be desired but it's not that bad. Planning on trying to sell it this winter and getting an X-fire 149....Anybody interested?

Last week I was living in Mexico and the temps were in the High 80's. This week I'm in Edmonton Canada and it's hanging right around 20. I got off the plane on Monday, hit the cold and my penis turtled. I'm hoping he'll re-emerge soon, I really gotta piss I got nuthin

Ahhhh CRAP! My wingsuit doesn't have a Thrust Vector Actuator I got nuthin

On my old Pro-tec I've got keyboard keys epoxied to the front that spell 'JUMP'. Stickers are so 2-dimensional I got nuthin

Is the guy who wrote that a packer? Is he even a skydiver? That doesn't sound like how I was treated when I was a packer nor who I treat packers when I use them now. I got nuthin

Unless it's an older rig with a bungee pilot chute. You still see one of those every once in a while. I got nuthin

Good Stuff! I've never had the pleasure to jump at LP, but I've heard nothing but good......Or maybe he's just sucking up because he wants you to buy him a good bottle for the save I got nuthin

Thanks for the responses. I'll go put some jumps on it this weekend and see how it flies/feels in the air before I return it. I got nuthin

For sure Lisa let me know what you need. I was thinking of you on yesterday: I was at the airport in Bogota and this lady had a cow-print suitcase. If I'd had batteries in my camera I would've asked her if I could take a picture I got nuthin

A Horny Gorilla is when everybody ties their feet together and leans back. If you picture a 4-way star, and at the same time everybody does half a back-flip, ties their feet together and lets go with their hands. I got nuthin

No, Bill's formula shows that if there is no difference between opening and exit winds, then the winds cancel each other out, and seperation time is independent of wind speed. Bill's formula: (Ground speed of the airplane + windspeed at opening altitude) * seconds between groups = distance. Groudspeed of airplane is airspeed of airplane - wind at exit altitude (flying into the wind), so we can make Bill's formula: (airspeed of airplane - windspeed at exit altitude + windspeed at opening altitude) * seconds between groups = distance. So if exit and opening windspeeds are the same, they cancel out and then Bills formula becomes: airspeed of the airplane * seconds between groups = distance. So if the winds are the same they don't matter at all. What most people forget is that after they open, the canopy is carried out of the way by the wind at opening altitude, so the stronger the wind is, the less separation time is required. I stand corrected and really need to pay more attention before replying, and rethink exit separation I got nuthin

You mean he's Tits McGee? I got nuthin

When there's no (or negligible) difference between exit and opening winds, and jumprun is heading into the wind, then separation time should be increased as winds increase (as Bill said in his initial post). The higher the winds, the less ground the plane is going to cover and therefore you need to wait more time to ensure that you're not getting out 'over top' of the group that exited before you. Winds affect a plane on jumprun a lot more than they'll affect jumpers in FF.

I bet the crew at Broken Lizards is pumped! I got nuthin

I'd say I am, but that's only because she's not on these forums I got nuthin

I dunno - back where we came from "UNEMPLOYED, in GREENLAND!!!" I hear they like to rhyme there I got nuthin

I hate my job right now, but my transfer should be coming through in less than 2 weeks

I haven't even seen weed in years, but we made a lot of bongs back in high school. The best was for New Years 2000. We made a 4-hoser out of a water-cooler bottle. It hit great at the New Year's party, but even better on New Years day after it'd been sitting out in the shed all night in -15 *C

Yeah but that's just because he couldn't find his car keys I got nuthin

I can not say enough good things about some of my great friends at Skydive Dallas (Thank you Shayne!!) who went to Walmart to buy me stool softener and Shiner Bock. Without those two items, Vicodin would've been a real bitch! I got nuthin

They're processing my visa now and hopefully I'll be living/working in Ft. Worth by Nov 1. I'll be out to SDD to crack you over the head with a water noodle again I got nuthin
