TFFTD!!!

thats a badass hybrid dive in your avatar!!!!!!!! what was it launched out of?! ----------------------------------------------

Free dog! My neighbor is looking for a good home for their dog . He said it's really lovable and friendly, but his wife said the dog makes her nervous when it stares at her. She wants it out of the house. If you know of anyone, let me know. The picture is attached.

An ugly man walks into his local pub with a big grin on his face. "What are you so happy about?" asks the barman. "Well, I'll tell you." replies the ugly man. "You know, I live by the railway. Well, on my way home last night, I noticed a young woman tied to thetracks, like in the films. I, of course, went and cut her free and took her back to my place. Anyway, to make a long story short, I scored big time! We made love all night, all over the house. We did everything, me on top, sometimes her on top, every position imaginable!" Fantastic!" exclaimed the barman. "You lucky bastard. Was she pretty?" "I dunno... never found the head!"

I put in my D-# and came up with CHEEK AGE 35 AGED 5 CHEF 5 AIDE 5 BIFF 5

Best of luck to ya from Texas! You'll even be there to experience the new 372 way world record attepts!

Bleeding off the forward speed before running out of lift on landing, typically after a swoop.

Congrats! What's the old addage We don't stop living because we grow old, We grow old because we stop living.?

Hear,hear! Very well said!

I believe that the cypress hasn't armed itself below 2 grand. so eccentially it's off.

Yea that's Melanie and that picture doesn't do her justice! She's even H-O-T-T-E-R in person! Married,yes.

So Dan, Are you still stuck on 3 jumps?

I think unless they've had a B/A they look pretty ugly/painful in freefall!

Derek, I think that this is a misperception on his part. The canopy would be bucking like a bitch if this were the case. I know of no one attempting this.

Congrats Eric, It will take me another 4 years to see that #!

Unfortunately Paul without looking, what I apparently did was snug it below the grommet.

Hi Paul, If you look at the post above you, you will see basically how i stowed the excess except with large cat's eye, I pulled the cat's eye beyond the grommet on the toggle. When I went to unstow the brake lines the cat's eye was underneath the toggle grommet and I was freeking low!

BEER! Now get your head out ya ass!!

Phree, I posted it triple so that it could be read by all that could learn from it. I thought I was going to pound at first! I don't think that it should be restricted to anyone!

I think this should be posted here so that people can learn. After our friend spiraled in in Perris Valley with a stuck toggle from the Slinks, I changed my excess brake storage to the bottom of my toggle keeper instead of through the top of the riser. What I didn't know about was the fact that my new canopy has rather large cats eyes in the brake lines! When I stowed the excess on one jump today. I actually pulled the cat's eye over the grommet on the toggle! After a long spot, I flew in with the brakes stowed untill about 800'. When I went to unstow the brakes for final and landing. the front left leading edge, collapsed! I snapped quickly that for whatever reason, the left brake was still in a stowed situation. I could only fly staight by holding the right toggle down half way, Understand that I'm under a Xaos 27 cell 79' canopy loaded 2.4/1! I took a double wrap on my right toggle to even the toggles to brakes set mode and landed on rear risers. I flared the rears a little hard on landing and collapsed the canopy. I was happy to walk away from it. Having landed a stuck toggle before on a Xaos 80-21 helped me not make the same mistake but I never should have put myself in a situation below cutaway level to unstow my brakes. I hope all that read this learn from my mistkes an dont put yourself in the situation that I put myself today. Peace. Conway

Well, after a beautiful day in H-Town all day, some crap is coming in from the gulf and it's pretty solid. Maybe it won't make SSM!

Why don't most blind people jump? Scares the shit out of their dogs!

Rule #1. The green light gives you the "OK" to jump. You are responsible for your spot. If your DZ has a problem with you wanting to land on the DZ, find another DZ! The "experts" behind you are NOT responsible for YOUR spot.

What's up with that? Allen's email said today. I think you should call Allen personally and chew him a new arse!
