    that quote is from post number 19 of this very thread. the user name and profile of the poster is identical to yours. that quote is from post number 29 in this thread. it now seems even more difficult to lend credibility to your statements. then perhaps you should stop speaking for them. you are the one who said, "other manufacturers support the speedbag". if you were not sure they would stand by their statements, why would you paraphrase them? i will admit that i admire your sig line. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

    then it's going to be difficult to lend credibility to your claim that other manufacturers support the speedbag. i searched that thread. i didn't find anything even similar to support from other manufacturers. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin
  4. darnknit
    didn't find any people claiming to work for other manufacturers that support the speedbag. since you don't seem to want to supply any names yourself, it looks like you may have been mistaken. i even dedicated an entire thread to your claim that other manufacturers support the speedbag. twenty-eight posts later i still haven't been able to verify your claim. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

    one to change the lightbulb, two to video it, one to show the guy changing the lightbulb a better way to do it, one to say that guy doesn't know what he's talking about, four to "creep" changing a lightbulb, one to change the lightbulb for you for five bucks, one to tell you you can't change the lightbulb until you initial this page of the waiver and show your reserve data card, one to bum a cigarrete from you, one to steal your beer, and one to beat your packer with a crowbar so about fourteen altogether. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

    if i recall correctly, precisions opinion was that the user had overloaded his reserve. was anyone from jumpshack involved in the investigation? can you be more specific? i asked this question a month or so ago, i didn't get any responses citing a specific incident. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

    so, are there any incidents where a safety stow freebag experienced line dump, or bag strip? or is bag strip, and line dump only a potential problem with a safety stow freebag? pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

    RTFM. new batteries every (plus or minus) four years or 700 jumps. there is currently a service bulletin on vigil cutters in certain rigs. customer service with regard to the problems in Thailand during the record attempts makes airtec look a wee bit better i would spend my money on a cypres. YMMV pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

    what (potential) problem needs to be addressed? the only TSO'd freebag design that i am aware of in current use(excluding the speedbag) that does not use a safety stow is the strong dualhawk with a master 425 reserve. that particular design predates the speedbag. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

    i think gravitygirl was just mentioning what worked for her based on her experience involving traveling with two rigs. i doubt people will try to help you if you criticize the solution offered. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

    there is no fuss, i'm just asking a question in an effort to learn more. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

    i don't know, but i am not aware that anyone has said that other manufacturers support the skyhook. i am aware that someone has said other manufacturers support the speedbag. i am trying to find out if this is true, and if it is, i would like to know why other manufacturers think it is a good idea. i am just trying to learn. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

    in a different thread in this forum, a post was made claiming that gear manufacturers besides Jumpshack supported the speedbag design. when asked which manufacurers support the design the answer was, "an engineer at RWS". i would like to here from people involved with manufacturing sport skydiving gear (outside of Jumpshack) what they think of the speedbag. my motive here is to learn. if a design can be praised openly by the competition, then it must truly be a good design. blue stuff, p.j. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

    first TFR, sugar? let me guess, your DZ was not located near a major metropolis that happened to be in a swing state in 2004. suck it up, slugger. it's not like it happened to you twice a month after a rainy weekend for eleven straight months. you mean to tell me that an extreme sports enthusiast can't handle a little thing like this? pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

    in addition to the rotten egg toss you are planning, swing by the packing mat and try out the new Whack-a-Packer game. it's just like the Whack-a-Mole games you used to see at the state fair. only instead of a plastic mallet, you get a real crowbar, and instead of a plastic rodent, you get a real packer's head. but there's more.... if the packer you hit has a riggers ticket, you get your choice of either a stuffed kitten, or an ice cream cone. play Whack-a-Packer, it's fun for the whole family! pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

    that really must be a great feeling. we just bought a house six months ago. i love looking at it as i drive home from work. doing it on your own should make it even more special to you. blue stuff, p.j. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

    extra altitude is the most common motivation i have seen. i would like to personnally thank a certain person i met last weekend. the pilot was obviously VERY impressed, as we got just a wee bit more than the customary extra 1,000 feet. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

    yeah, exactly my point! if the little punk behind the food counter had been the CEO of the fast food chain, he would have given me some salt and wished me a nice day. he would have given me the same respect that any given person would give a common waiter. you are correct! it speaks volumes of that tatoo covered miscreant. i gaurantee he wouldn't make it past the first episode if he was on "The Apprentice". thank you for reaffirming my point of view. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

    i signed out early today, so it was only 2:00 when i beat my packer with a crowbar. i hadn't had lunch yet, so i went to a fast food place down the road. the guy serving me was covered in tatoos, which i guess is better than scorpions(since it would have been possible to fling a scorpion on me, but not a tatoo). he wasn't particularly friendly, and wouldn't give me some salt when i asked for some, so i decided to beat him with a crowbar. all of a sudden, he handed me some salt packets, asked me if there was anything else i needed and then wished me a nice day. i didn't expect that. i thought he would not tolerate such degredation, but instead he became more playful and loving. just like my packer does when i beat him with a crowbar. so, have i overestimated the amount of respect i give to service industry employees(excluding packers of course)? i would hate to think i was handing out respect where it wasn't deserved. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

    130,000 feet. that's at least 65,000 people. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin
