Sorry, I missed this: Oh, I don't assume that at all. I do think that you have more time to control the variables under a canopy with a long recovery arc than under one with a short recovery arc. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

Is what I said, and I stand by that. I still also disagree with your earlier statement I think that's dangerous posting for the often indiscriminating reader. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

As if it isn't bad enough that you attempt to insult me, why do you keep throwing out the word "DEEP?" Please show me where I have ever said that in this thread! mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

Sooooo, if a swooper is in the corner and digs out on the rears, he will have a high-speed stall? Maybe that should be "can," or "has a higher probability of a high-speed stall depending upon the amount of input he's giving the canopy." mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

I am sorry, because I can't seem to find something. Where exactly did I say "deep" into the corner? Can one not also dig out on the rear risers? Maybe we have different definitions of "the corner," but in the 3 pro events I attended last year, I saw the same competitors consistently using rears to dig from what i consider in the corner. (And no, I don't mean just using rears to plane out.) That feeling was also shared by people I talked to who competed at the events. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

There is a lot of power in the corner. I don't think anybody is gonna disagree with that. I have seen several competiters who consistently use the corner as part of their regular approach. So yes, I believe that for some, competing and getting the corner go hand in hand. That isn't my point. My point was that a canopy with a short recovery arc is not "more tolerant" than one with a longer recovery arc simply because it comes out of a dive more quickly. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

But WHYYYYYYYYYYYY?????? That's my point. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

Oh please! I did a search but I guess my criteria wasn't what matched your thread. Besides, could you beat around the bush more with that thread title? sheesh! Mea Culpa! mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

No offense if you've done it. Yeah, you've probably seen it just about everywhere. I got to ask: Why does a jumper feel the need to take the full-on birdman pose the minute he/she's got the suit on and there's a camera pointed at them? Do I do a headstand or get into the sit pose every time someone snaps me with my freefly suit on? Do belly fliers assume the boxman when they see a camera? Seriously, what gives? mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

The word was "can," dave. calm down. I wasn't saying you do. Back to the subject... Actually, I don't know if it's because I start higher, but I usually know when I need to abort a turn before I am half-way through it. Then, I still got 250 ft or so to use another input and finish. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

Talk about stupid. Dude's a member of ELF and they're burning cars? Ummm, Guess they haven't got any clue as to the amount toxins and pollutants caused by burning a vehicle. Sounds about as bright as the few pro-lifers who kill doctors. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

If you start both turns at the same altitude, yeah, that makes sense, but where i might start a 180 on a stilletto is probably about 200 ft below where I would start the same turn on my samurai. If I start my turn on my samurai at the same altitude as the stilletto and don't finish the turn on another input or simply stop the turn, yes, I am gonna bounce. Nonetheless, I don't see how a shorter recovery arc will provide you with a better chance to dig out--especially when having to dig out is not a neccessary or intended part of the approach, unless you are competing. I think we just spring from differing schools of thought. You can turn as low as you like and stab as much as you like, but I will always be working on turning high, building speed, releasing the turn and picking my own plane-out point, not letting the canopy pick it for me. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

Maybe it's just me, but I see a whole lot more digging going on from people flying canopies with short recovery arcs. Having flown a canopy that had a tolerance of about 15 feet for an entry point for a 90 (it wanted to be right at 225ft for my type of turn), I can say that a short recovery arc canopy gave me less time to finesse the turn and the approach than a canopy with a longer recovery arc. I now have a Samurai with a trim change that makes it dive more and the recovery arc even longer than stock. When I have danced too long with the devil in the corner, I have not had any problem digging out. So, from my experience, I disagree that the longer recovery arc can be less tolerant I really don't understand your logic on this, actually. If I am starting out low on a short recovery arc canopy, I will be planning out earlier. Correct? To me that says that I have less time to see what's going on, process the info, realize I am low and take the corrective course of action (finishing in toggles, rears, harness or just stabbing out like a mofo with his hair on fire). mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

Yeah, I think that's pretty stupid. I started wearing a full-face Z1 Sti when I had about a dozen jumps. It made a world of difference. It made things much more quiet and seemed to lengthen my skydive because I was much less distracted by the wind. It also made a ton of difference in the winter, because my head was warm. I never had a problem seeing my handles, but I could see that being something to consider. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

Right, right, right. Guess I don't have my head all in this tonight. I just was digging through a box for something and realized I have enough parts to build another 1911. hmmmmm what to do, what to do... mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

You might be right on some of the tactics being used. I guess the difference is that homosexuals have no overriding constitutional rights granted them specifically at the federal and state level. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

Well, proficiency in competitive shooting can earn you a scholarship to many universities and colleges. Can skydiving? mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

Both sides are trying to set precedence in this matter. If the lawyers succeed in one case against the firearms industry, they can proceed to other industries. On the other hand, if there is preemption legislation in place, yet another precedent is set, baring the suing of a law-abiding manufacturers of a legal, yet misused product. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

Bill, but if you simply break it down to the difference between what each group is named and what it predicates itself upon, I belive you will find a strong indication of the validity of each's claims. The National Rifle Association--That's pretty cut and dry to me. An association of gun owners for gun owners. The NRA was established to promote marksmanship in order to create a stronger national defense. When gun owner's rights started to be attacked, the NRA developed a defense system and infrastructure to attempt to prevent infringement of those rights. The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence--An association of people who want to end gun violence. Yet, their conception was National Council to Ban Handguns which was later traded for the name Handgun Control, Inc. They began life as a group which was for the elimination of gun ownership in all forms but began focus on handguns, because that's what the public was most afraid of. The organization renamed itself The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence as it began to shrink and die due to the exposure of myths it perpetuated as it worked toward the goal of the elimination of private firearms ownership. It renamed itself to create an appearance of centrism and took a more amiable position against gun violence in our society. Obviously, considering their strenuous support of recent legislation to ban an entire class of firearms which have only cosmetic differences from firearms, which they currently say they approve of. They have worked tirelessly to block passage of concealed carry legislation which has proven to reduce crime. In the words of HCI founding chair, Nelson T. Shields, III.: I cannot establish the validity of this item, but it is reported to be the notes of a White House meeting which took place in 1994 (edit: 1993, actually) and a rough-draft of a five-year plan, which looks like it was pretty accurate for their maneuvering at the time. It was posted on the Free Republic. Take a look. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

Well, that's because they are the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence! Silly boy! They're no longer Handgun Control! They don't want to ban all guns any more! They just want "common sense legislation" to eliminate the proliferation of guns by targeting and removing classes of firearms from society, one at a time, untill all the dangerous firearms are off the street and out of homes where children could possibly be. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

And my own studies have shown that if you base 100% of your diet intake on bananas, monkeys will fly out of your ass. Seriously tho, I am glad to see that Sen. Feingold had the nuts to present the truth in this matter. I am sure he just ensured his reelection bid among gun owners. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
