    I had never heard of McAlisters until this thread, then I saw one in Lafayette and would've stopped, but they were already closed. "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.

    There is some picture hanging wire at Walmart for under $1 that works fine, it's in the hardware section. "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.

    0:13:0 2 video for 12 way RW, 9 tandem videos, 1 music video video, taught some Pathetic Losers how to do a Mr. Potato head jump. I don't know anything about the music video other than the song is called "I'm Alive", and they wanted it to look like the singer was a real skydiver skydiving.

    The first 3 are from last year with my Rebel XT. The second 3 are this year with my new Rebel T1i. I have some more I may post later. "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.

    They are very easy to break off, I saw two of them lost on two different jumps at Summerfest this year. I barely bumped a guy on exit and off it went. His mount was still in place on the helmet, but one of those tabs had broken. The second was much scarier for me. There was a two way belly base that was spinning a little. One of the divers got into the burble and fell on it, then went about 30 feet low. I saw a little silver flash go by about 15 feet of to my side. His mount had survived the initial impact, but then the whole mount came off the helmet while he was below everybody. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane.

    I was one of "The Right Stuff" walkers, on the far right. It was awesome, they congratulated us on being able to walk in a line . "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.

    573 for me at the moment. I didn't make Olympia's cut either, but then I think I talked to Stanley Snagir on her wall more than I did her . "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.

    No. Rollerball was more about good versus evil, Whip It is about a girl and her mom. "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 like IAD, probably because that's how I learned, but also because you'll be concentrating on what saves your life, flying the canopy. You can make a couple IAD jumps a week for the cost of one AFF jump. I wonder if the number of fatalities under good parachutes went up as the push for AFF over staticline began. It probably has more to do with the invention of ZP material, but it seems like quite the coincidence to me. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane.

    I bet you'll find that a lot of people claim way more in their profile than they really have. I guess you might be able to look up license numbers to verify they are legitimate.

    135 lbs tandem instructor + 100 lbs student = slow fall rate 200 lbs tandem instructor + 200 lbs student = not so slow fall rate I did a tandem video a few weeks ago that was running 161 MPH , I was nice and cozy on that one.

    :2:no beer (yet) Only 2 jumps in this weekend. One was a drill dive with the coach of our four way team. He is recommending I wear lead. Grrrr.... So he's either saying you're not fat, or your team is, either way is better than the other 3 wearing lead to match you . "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane.

    Thanks, I'll be posting construction pictures on Facebook today after work. They'll need to be resized to post here since even at the low quality setting they're too big.

    I've been busy, but I've got a plan. "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.

    We'll have plenty of room to stretch out if it's just you and I . "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.

    So who's going to Summerfest this year? "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 haven't seen it happen yet, but it should as long as you don't add any extra straps to it. I fell on my team last year and broke one of their mounts with my body. They didn't have a camera on at the time, it was just the mount on top of their helmet, and I broke one of the ears off. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane.

    There's a bunch of them at SDC. The slightly curved mount works well for the top, just make sure everything is very clean first. Believe it or not, the sticky tape is just as strong as the mount itself. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane.
