  1. How about this little baby.......water is fast too... http://www.ebaumsworld.com/fastboat.html ------------------------------ Controlled and Deliberate.....
  2. "feeling" the air is a common term for how the friction of the air feels upon your body. I have to admit that if that is all he said, it was a slight injustice, but the phrase is quite valid. In sit flying, there is a very difinitive air pressure on your chest if you are backsliding. That would indicate you should thrust your hips forward, which would straighten your back. In HD, feeling the air is damn near everything. A couple of times I have jumped solo being the first out, and closed my eyes for most of the jump. This forces upon you to use your other senses that can seem ignored when you are depending on so much visual stimulation. You can literally "feel" your movement as you fly. Its quite a sensation, and not for the faint of heart. I don't reccommend it if you are not able to have total bodily control with your eyes open, and are the only one in the sky. Like a Cessna load with only 1 tandem on it. Make sure you have multiple dytters and have some sense of time. Otherwise, your farked. Do this once, and you will realize what he was referring to. ------------------------------ Controlled and Deliberate.....

  4. V-9. Call Alti-2 and tell them about your problem. I had some similar issues after that shitty firmware patch as well. I sent it back and they "fixed" it. I got it back and while playing with it, it decided to do a jump all on its own. And even log it. It went nuts. It proceeded to freak out for whatever reason every couple hours making noises from the Ms.Pacman era. I called them again and they sent me a new one before I sent the old one back. They are a very good Co. with awesome customer service. And if anyone needs some older firmware versions, I have a couple that work.

  7. I am looking to add some lead to my skinny ass and need some direction to the tired and true styles and manufacturers. I'm not sure if the belt is better than the vest or vice versa. I am looking to add up to 25 lbs, in 5 or less lb. increments. ------------------------------ Controlled and Deliberate.....

  14. Betsy, hey. Thanks for the updates. Keep them coming please. Both teams members are cool ass dudes, but my vote is for Salcone and Guano. Give em Enfer Guano! ------------------------------ Controlled and Deliberate.....

  19. Does that have anything to do with the openings? ------------------------------ Controlled and Deliberate.....
  20. He must have brought lube, cause spit would dry up waaaayyyy too quickly with all that wind. ------------------------------ Controlled and Deliberate.....
  21. I dont have to wonder at all. The thought of it occurs all the time. I dont mean every jump, but often enough. Nothing galvanizes your mortality than spinning on your back with unrecoverable line twists that have created g-forces so strong that it makes it hard to cut away. Then on top of that finally being under my reserve at the 900' level. Then there are the highly skilled people that have died either pushing the limits, or just going on a normal skydive. Chris Martin on one side, and Holly on the other. It can happen at all levels of peoples personal limits. As far as death goes, it is all too much a part of my profession. I see it, and do everything I can to keep that person within this world. It sucks to not be able to effect that desired change. ------------------------------ Controlled and Deliberate.....
  22. No I have fortunately not seen anyone burn in. I hope I never will. If I say 1, will that not be enough? Or if I say 10, does that somehow validate my feelings on the matter? The 10th one you have seen, will more than likely shock you as much the first. Just a speculation though. I have had friends die, but the # is moot. Edited for clarity. ------------------------------ Controlled and Deliberate.....
  23. Granted: If the family of a deceased jumper does not want the video to be seen, it should not. Granted: If you yourself do not want to see it, you should not. What makes you think you can use words such as "I was very surprised to see how many thought that it was a defendable action." ? I mean "Defendable" against what? You mean Defendable against your attack,.. your belief that it is wrong vs. their belief that it is not. It may be morbid, but it is not illegal. It may be dark, but it is not up to you to decide it "totally wrong". BTW, there is an awful lot of things on the internet that are not educational. *sigh* Whatever dude, you live in your world, I will live in mine. I did not declare this wrong for the masses, I declared it wrong and unethical for myself. All I wanted to see is how many of you DZ.Commers wanted to see this kind of shit. I am truely saddended to see how many of you want to see another person bounce. I have been to a many dropzone, and I have come to realize, unargueably, that DZ.Com demographics does not reflect an actual dropzones demographics. ------------------------------ Controlled and Deliberate.....
  24. You might want to take a step back for a second and realize that I didn't have anything removed. All I did was make a poll as I wanted to know the DZ.Com demographic for desiring to see death of others in our sport. Secondly, if you are going to compare a seatbelt safety video to the skydiving snuff video, I am wasting my time with a person that obviously cannot acertain the innate difference betweent the two. ------------------------------ Controlled and Deliberate.....
  25. BINGO! ------------------------------ Controlled and Deliberate.....
