  1. Oh, I have certainly been a fan of that for quite some time. My question is, where's the bush into play? mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  2. I would, on the other hand, like to be a bush badger, because I assume that to be something to be proud of. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  3. Sooooo, like fucktard is a good thing???? Hmmmmm. Nope, still not getting it. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  4. Guess that means I have to go back and have some of the longer threads I was heavily involved in deleted by calling some deserving people fucking morons. I'll get right on that. Screw this poohbah-fucktard shit. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  5. Well, check me the fuck out! Thanks to my reply to you in the assault weapons thread, I have just graduated! 2.5 years and I am one of you guys!!! ummmm, what exactly does this mean? mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  6. Actually, if excess is stowed correctly, you'll never have a problem with microline and velcro. If you let the hook-side of the velcro contact the line regularly, you will. There are drawbacks to many velcroless-toggle designs which put the user in a tougher situation than *possibly* having to replace lower control lines more frequently. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  7. No problem! I was surprised I didn't see that posted earlier in the thread. It's pretty logical to me. IIRC, Bill also preferred velcro toggles over other retaining methods (double tuck tabs), which also gave me a lot to think about. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  8. From what I was told by Bill Hallett when he was at Mirage, the F1-11 pilot chutes are standard equipment with new mirage rigs because of the kill line. He said that when a F1-11 pc needed replacing, it would be very likely that the kill line would also need to be replaced. This would give the possibly gear-ignorant jumper a new pc and bridle/kill line at the same time, rather than someone jumping a ZP pilot chute for possibly hundreds of jumps beyond the effective lifespan of the kill line. I traded my f1-11 for zp and am currently about 100 jumps from replacing the kill line. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

    Pirates

    After watching the movie, I found it interesting to hear that Depp based his character on Keith Richards. I think he pulled it off. edit for spelling mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  10. If you threw in another September, sounds to me like that's the perfect year. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  11. Hmmmmmm... Again...you're right...congratulations How 'bout a response re: the high jack? I seriously doubt you're gonna see much more response when you reply like that to people who respond. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  12. Wow, and not one mention of Full Metal Jacket's soundtrack? Any CD with Wooly Bully and The Marines' Hymn has my vote. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  13. YES!!!! Just like in the Meatrix! (edit: fixed the link!--thanks j.r.) mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  14. not to brag or anything, but i shot both of those rifles last month. mmmmmmm. The M4 upgrade system is very fucking cool. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  15. Niiiiiice. Isn't that the second reference from the same track from you today? mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  16. And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, "O Lord, bless this Thy hand grenade that, with it, Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits in Thy mercy." And the Lord did grin, and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals and fruit bats and large chu-- Skip a bit, Brother. And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three. No more. No less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then, lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it." mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  17. The ground has nothing to do with it. It's just as bad as the "45-degree rule." What gives true physics-based separation between groups is the differential between exit altitude airspeed and opening altitude airspeed. If you really want to know how many seconds of separation to give, plug the variables into Billvon's excel separation calculator and go. If you want to know how much horizontal separation you'll need at opening altitude for group size, use Kallend's spreadsheet. Edit: To add an illustration to why watching the ground doesn't work, I want to add Windsor's spreadsheet and the post explaining it: mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  18. Yeah, that was my bad for using the incorrect terminology (modifier) for the stall. I should have used the word static in place of the words slow-speed. Sorry if it was misleading. Thanks for the correction. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  19. So what part of the post is valid? I mean, are we talking about what some of the pros do? Are we talking about the belief that a canopy with a shorter recovery arc makes a canopy more tolerant? Are we talking about me needing more canopy training because what the three pro swoopers and one canopy manufacturer have taught me has been wildly misinterpreted in my twisted little brain? I am beginning to get a little lost (trying to learn Premier and this rum&coke ain't helping) on what part of the post we're actually talking about. help a brother out, if you please. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  20. Wow, you got that from chuck's post? I suggest you read his post again. I'll save ya the clicking trouble. Canuck said: To which, SkymonkeyOne replied: mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  21. I forgot to ask something. What do you think I should I believe if I am wrong about From the Big Air Sportz Owners Manual by Brian Germain: I also found this from his manual to be interesting and quite relevant: mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  22. Yep. So when you said a canopy with a shorter recovery arc is more tolerant, what exactly did you mean by that? Do you mean if you pass out in the turn? Do you mean the canopy is more responsive to corrective input? Now, this is something I haven't talked to anybody about, but it has me thinking. From what I have learned, trim is a major player in determining a canopy's recovery arc. Is a canopy with a shorter recovery arc more susceptable to high-speed stalling with the same amount (distance pulled) of input as the canopy with the longer recovery arc? (all things being somewhat equal) mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  23. So four canopy control courses wasn't enough? Damn, I better do more homework. If I have misinterpreted what I have been taught, I will surely be back to this thread with a correction. Not tight at all. There was about 4-5 inches of play to be able to use the front risers without deflecting the tail. Silhouettes at 1.1 can do that easily. Like I said, I had at least a dozen no-input landings with the toggles against the rings until I came to a stop. On another half-dozen or more, I was between a foot and eight feet off the ground when I came to a stop. And, also like I said, I had one that was about 30 feet off the ground. That was the one that really sucked. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  24. Again, I never inferred it, nor did I mean it that way. "Deep" in the corner to me is where toggles are the only option. How bout this one: 90 front riser right turn from at 300 ft. Get out of the turn too soon with no further input and the canopy planes out with no toggle or riser input and slow-speed stalls 30ft above the deck. After the stall, the canopy will surge into a dive. In the first part of the surge, your controls will be mush and will remain that way for a good portion of that dive. The flare will suck and the ground will hurt. Trust me, I know. The cool thing about that canopy was that I had a ton of no, or little-toggle-input landings. That wouldn't be cool if I was planing out more than 6 feet off the deck. Let's get to the root of the recovery arc debate. Wings being wings--something designed to create lift--with a common suspended weight, what is it that causes the recovery arc to be longer or shorter? mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  25. sure, I never said deep, nor did I infer it. Because it seems you contradict that statement with the second. What exactly is your definition of tolerance? btw, you did it again: To answer your question, I really don't buy it. Getting cut off and whipping a 180 from a lower altitude than what a pilot is used to is bad judgment in the first place. Continuing the turn with the same inputs when he already knows he's low is really bad judgment. Flying those controls into the ground is just stupid. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
