Dumbass brought a knife to a gunfight. Guess that's what crack will do to common sense. The homeowner needs a new load if the bullet lodged in the door. That's just overpenetration. I likes me some Corbon for my home loads. Not much comes out the back... Hornady's .223 TAP is also wonderful in an urban setting. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

Hey TK, We have straddle-type benches in our Super Otter at Skydive Orange. Everybody I know loves them. They are basically about 16-inch tall aluminum I-beams (with holes to reduce weight). They are capped with a padded and carpeted seat. We can put 8 jumpers on each bench and there's room for six on the floor, all pretty comfortably. Nobody is laying on your leg or pinching your foot to sleep. Pin checks are very easy with the benches too. PM me if you want me to find contact info on our otter owner for more details. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

This is how the selection process is supposed to work according to the WVA governor's website. I doubt voting will have anything to do with it unless the gov is looking at this site. It is, however, kickass to see how we can just take over a poll when we all put our collective minds to it. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

I was talking to Brian Germain about canopy names a while back. While the Japanese word for "divine wind" is cool as hell as a canopy name, it took on a whole new meaning on Dec. 7, 1941. Bummer... I'd still fly one... mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

I think the best part will come if there's a bit of competition in the prices of these units. Cypres has ruled the market. They dictate the market price. It is very much near the top end of what the market will bear. It seems to me, the competition is already rolling. Is there anything wrong with the Cypres that really warranted the issue of the Cypress 2? It sure does fix some of the added costs of an AAD. Was that in response to the vigil? I think a little competition will be nice to see, as long as both companies maintain high standards and continually research and develop their products. I for one am giving serious consideration to replacing a 6-month old cypress with a Vigil when they become available. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

Ummm. Yeah, I guess you could say that. Dude, that rig was built for you. I just borrowed it for a while. Hope you are enjoying it.

230 left after 45 minutes. I am curious as to why there were only 370 or so passes available when they went public? Did like 30 people warp through the e-forms?

We've been talking about doing night jumps on Fridays on a regular basis. It'll probably be just a Cessna thing, but fun nonetheless!

26290 reporting as ordered. I am in. Congratulations Kevin! Guess that was what that birdman night jump was all about...

What struck me was this: I wonder what reasons the canadian police had for this type of action. I'd bet a hundred bux that container comes back in pieces i.e. reserve popped, main cutaway, cypress reinstalled improperly. Kinda like tossing a radio into a monkey cage at the zoo.

I'd second that. It sounds sketchy as hell. Why not just bring whatever tandems he has lined up to a USPA affiliated dz? Would this not be considered a Demo since there is no normal jumping operation at that airport? mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

This isn't the first time this has happened. According to one story I heard, a pair of drunk Marines in their barracks room decided to try the same thing with a KBar and a flak jacket. Result: One dead Marine, one in the brig. I still cannot fathom someone trying this stuff out on a live human being.

I never said I doubted HER abilities. I doubted her ADVICE to a newbie to strap on weights before exploring body positon and suit selection. Good day, mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

Again, I have no problem putting on weights after you've optimized a body position, if a lowtimer has explored the other options and still remains floaty. Nonetheless, through that, the lowtimer will have gained valuable experience, worked out their body position and will have more time in the saddle. As to the fallrate differences, I have experienced the opposite end of the spectrum. On one of my first SDU jumps, my instructor, thinner and more floaty than I, asked if I would wear a longsleeve over my jumpsuit because he didn’t have his tight suit at the time. It was probably the worst jump I had. Maybe it was psychological, but rather than flying my body, I was flying the shirt. It taught me that a crutch may ingrain bad habits and body positions. I think the instructor needs to accommodate the student, not the other way around. In time, the tree will grow to bear fruit. Carrying on with the male/female differences, I am in no way jealous of the fact that most females are lighter. Under canopy is what really makes me feel bad for them or any other lighter jumper. Jumping a 170 loaded at .8:1 is very different than flying the same canopy style in a 230 size at the same wing loading. The smaller canopy, although loaded the same, will react to input much faster, as has been explained to me by two canopy manufacturers and one USPA regional director. It's still a smaller canopy with shorter lines, even if the proportions scale equally. Anyway, I liked this conversation, even if I sometimes seem rabid. I just like to err on the side of safety. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

This person has 32 jumps!!!!!! How could she even have a clue about her range?!!! I am not against weights. I am against weights for someone who is just starting out. I feel that suggesting weights for someone of this skill/experience level is bad advice. Weights should be the last thing you think about when it comes to adjusting fallrate. Fabric and bagginess of a suit would come before adding weights in my opinion, and body position should be a jumper's primary fallrate tool. If we want to talk about optimum body position, I think I would have many here who agree the mantis is faster and more effective than the boxman. The student progression teaches the boxman. If you really want to go faster, eliminate surface area while making more efficient use of what god gave you--flying the mantis. It's just plain safer than strapping on weights and hoping you can fly your more heavily loaded canopy to the ground safely. When you have a hundred jumps--80 or so on the same canopy, add some weight, if you feel you need to. When you have 1000, strap a 30-pound dumbell to your gut and have at it. That is MHO, after all. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

I dunno. I never wasted a penny jumping out of an aircraft, no matter how fast a diveplan went to shit. Every one is a learning experience. If someone needs weights to fly with a fourway, great. Wear em. I am just of the opinion that someone with jump #s in the 20s probably won't be doing many 4-ways and doesn't need to have added weight. It increases risk and becomes a crutch. Again, that's my opinion. I have gone 175 on my belly in a baggy ff suit. I have gone 110 in a tight rw suit. I can do mid 70s in that same suit in a track. If you wanna go faster, you can go faster. If you want to go slower, you can go slower. The mantis added 10 mph to my regular belly speed. I had to compensate my position to get back to about 125. Doing so made my turns faster. That's my experience. My experience with weights has only come lately as a way to increase wingloading. 10 pounds makes my canopy fly completely differently. So, I ask you, should a newbie have to basically downsize their canopy (increased wingloading) to skydive faster or more relative to a group? (remember, rarely is it the skydive that kills--it's the time between pitching the PC and finishing the flare on your tiptoes that are the moments which decide if you're ever going to have the chance to jump again.) mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
