I was wondering about different ways of putting static line or IAD students out of a Cessna. In Canada I've only seen where the instructor is beside the pilot, and the students are facing the front of the plane when the door opens, then they shimmy on out and the next one comes up. Every time I've seen SL in the US they reverse the position, so that the student is facing the rear of the AC when the door opens. I'm not sure how common the method I've seen in the US is, but to me it seems a little more sketchy, in that the student has to do a 180 going out the door to get into position for a hanging or poised exit. I think this would introduce more chance for bumping somthing or falling. It also makes it more difficult for the next student to get in position, as he has to pass beside the instructor. Is there an advantage to this that I don't see? What does your DZ use and why? I got nuthin

Not to hijack, but FUCKIN roomates!!! I'm travelling for work and they couldn't find me a hotel so they stuck me in a staff house. I got up this morning and went to the bathroom only to find a half-nakid guy passed out on the floor. I guess I woke him up, as when I went to the other bathroom I heard him move (I thought he was moving to his bedroom). I went to the kitchen after that to make coffee and found him fully-naked and passed out at the table. I got nuthin

What's on your chest strap? I assume after 4500 you're off radio I got nuthin

I got a repack at Skydive Venezuela last January and dude was FAA cert. It looks like these douchebags opened the main flap and pulled the pin out with their grubby little fingers, took out the bag and the first few line stows, then threw everything back inside and left me with a big fucking mess Hackish, there was some shit on the forums a few years ago about some guy who was getting on the plane at a boogie when somebody noticed his reserve handle was zip-tied to the main lift web. IIRC he'd jumped it in that configuration. The best thing IMO is to route your chest strap through the silver handle a few times then put it through the buckle. If you've got soft handles then a zip-tie would be more secure and a fuckofalot harder to miss. I got nuthin

This may be a stupid question, but what difference does it make wether the flight is domestic or not ? I could understand customs wanting to see what's coming into the country, it's their job. But with domestic I don't think they should be fucking with anything that doesn't look suspicious. I used to alway do carry-on, but now I've got too much shit with me all the time...I travel a lot in some pretty corrupt countries and I always bring all of my electronic shite with me. And after I got my dumbass award in the form of a metal plate in my leg, I upsized my canopy which makes it hard to stick in the overhead I got nuthin

Yesterday I flew from Santa Cruz Bolivia to southern Argentina with a stop in Buenos Aires to change airports/airlines. When I got to Buenos Aires I got my bag that has my rig and everything looked normal. I checked it for the domestic flight and when I picked it up on this end I noticed that the straps were undone. I didn't think anything of it. I opened the bag this morning to get my work boots and saw my D-bag and lines out of the container. I had my rig inside my jumpsuit which was inside a big hoodie. I had the hackey stuffed into the BOC and the chest strap routed through the reserve handle. I didn't have time to look at how they opened it, but the D-bag and lines are outside of the main tray! The thing that pisses me off was that this was a domestic flight, and there's nothing in that bag that looks suspicious or has been opened up on international flights in the past! This airline apparently has a bad rep for stealing anything electronic they can get their hands on out of checked baggage. If you're going to be flying Aerolineas Argentinas, take your shit carry-on I got nuthin

You mean they sabatoged (sp?) somebody's BASE rig? I got nuthin

I've had problems with my weights in the past where they wouldn't let me on the plane with them because they were a potential weapon. Now I'm living out of suitcases and without weights, it's been easy enough to rent/borrow when I needed two, and I already end up paying overweight charges a lot of the time just because I've got my life with me in two suitcases I got nuthin

I was channel surfing last night and hit the debate on CNN. I'm not interested in American politics, but I heard Barack Obama's voice and instantly started laughing. Is it no EXACTLY the same as Dave Chapelle's 'white guy voice'? I got nuthin

I had one for work. After two of them bounced over Canadian Skydive on Friday's sunset loads, my boss let me expense my cell. I got nuthin

Thanks for having the balls to post that and thanks for not dying

well, you were the first to mention beer Yeah but I'm pretty sure it wasn't my first time mentioning beer. I got nuthin

Pull-up cord and some elastics in case it makes more sense to pack before trying to climb fences or such before treking home after an off landing. My rig's got a pocket on the backpad that serves well for it I got nuthin

Good on him sticking to his hard deck. Sucks to see a sweet machine like that trashed I got nuthin

So technically who owes the beer for this 'first'? I got nuthin
