This song makes me want to dance, and laugh, and hope he's back at Summerfest this year. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86FLlOiKinA&feature=related "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.

probably Kim Possible, but they'd have to draw her a couple years older. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.

I think you'll find that the dz rigs will have added stuff that you don't need for your own gear. If your dz does AFF they are probably set up with a reserve side handle for the main PC. They may also have places for ripcords if they use spring loaded pilot chutes for the main. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane.

Do you ever smoke weed before jumping?
gearless_chris replied to surfbum5412's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
He and Duane weren't known as the chemical brothers for nothing. I quit smoking back in High school, long before I started jumping. I think the drugs are much more common with the old timers from back in the day. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane.

Especially if you wear contacts and/or think you might be getting lucky any time in the near future. Better yet, wear gloves when slicing hot peppers. Blues, Dave I have a box full of latex gloves for making chili. It feels a little odd to wear gloves to protect you from something you're going to eat .

I don't know if this is new info or not. I noticed my brakes are set very shallow, they are correct for front riser use, and it flares just fine. The shallow setting seems to make it less likely to spin with a premature brake release, broken line, etc. I've been able to keep my 170 flying straight with one brake set and the other released, by just using a little harness input. It's pretty easy to land all rear risers too(on my 170 loaded around 1.6, yours may be different), got about 30 or 40 of those. I love my Nitron, it was a nice second canopy.

Don't they do that anyways? At least Mine does, thankfullly! It's not normally part of the reserve pack job to do anything with the main, your rigger doesn't even need to have the main at all. My riggers all charge extra for a main inspection, but if you have a specific question like the O.P. has they will gladly help. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane.

There is a rap type version of Sweet Home Alabama by B.A.M.A., I like it a lot. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.

I have a AMD Athalon 64X2 dual core 5400+, 2.8 GHz for a socket AM2 in my newest computer, and 2 gigs of RAM. I love it, but they're up to 6000+ now with a 3.1 processor. My old computer has a Athalon XP 3200+ 2.2 GHz single core processor with 1 gig of RAM. If my old computer takes 20 minutes to copy a folder full of pictures from a compact flash card, my new one will take about 3 minutes. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane.

Yep, but he said recently, and I saw 2001: A Space Odyssey a couple years ago. I liked it, but I liked Event Horizon better. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.

rsl/skyhook disconnect for camera jumps?
gearless_chris replied to angryelf's topic in Photography and Video
Quote***FWIW, I had a very respected I/E, S&TA and Course Director dispute this second reason. He claims that there has never been a documented case of a spinning-mal/RSL combination getting a jumper hurt or causing a reserve malfunction (causing reserve line twists yes, but these have never resulted in an injury). I just red the new Parachutist (Feb. 2009) incident reports. ...and I remembered this thread. Now there's a documented fafality caused by an RSL. Also see this bulletin by UPT: http://www.uspa.org/USPAMembers/Safety/TheUSPAProfessional/tabid/78/ctl/Detail/mid/1451/xmid/5774/xmfid/42/Default.aspx We never found the reserve handle to PROVE it was a RSL deployment. It is possible that that he pulled the handles at the same time, or even in the wrong order. I assume they were able to prove that the RSL was hooked up at the time, and thus the ruling that the RSL deployed the reserve. How did this thread end up being twice as wide as my monitor?

I like the pro mouth switch Item: L1375 in Paragear. I think I've had it for two years now with no problems at all, ans I like the feel better than the other switches. I've used the bite switch, and tongue switch also, I broke the plugs before I got a chance to wear out the switches. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane.

I think the last one I got was the pro mouth switch. It was much easier for me to push up against the roof of my mouth than trying to push forward against the back of my teeth. The pro mouth has more travel so it "clicks" more than the other tongue switch. This is the case with the switches I got from them, but it sounds like there may be some variations.

Adrenaline Rush Hour on Discovery Channel
gearless_chris replied to iluvtofly's topic in The Bonfire
This is BSG night on SciFi, stayed on SciFi to make sure I didn't miss it. What kind of carnage did they have? Was it mostly racecar crashes, or did they have them of those skiing accidents where they fall down the whole mountain? "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane.

Difference between standard RSL vs Skyhook

an UPSIZING-thread for a change..

good idea! A lot of good advice there... I searched through those results and couldn't find any thing of, or on, value . "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.

Ah...the foam pit. At Summerfest 2008. Twas impressed and building the machine now. Andy was concerned because he had built two more and didn't have a chance to test them, his concerns were warranted. I don't know if he got either of the new ones to work bu the old one did after they got the soap concentration right. I bet the neighborhood kids would love you for testing it in the daylight so they can play

ahahahah. summerfest... +1 You three were the first in, but I think our group had the most fun, other than tripping over Bubba's cooler. I didn't care as much for it once the foam was well over my head. I was thinking more of the stories I heard about after most people had left the pit. But yes we did get the party started. I don't know what time I gave up, but there were still a few people left, and I'm pretty sure Rook had put his music away. I like Techno, but it's usually too loud. I hope they have Nice Peter back again, he was funny. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
