What are jump prices these days?

Agree. I don't use weights either.

of course, that was intended I think i found something on the IRS site. You were wrong, top 5% actually pay 59.67% not 59.5% ok, ok, I found the source and you were right. added: Where did you find that 60% don't pay any income taxes? This number seems very big

Nothing against you, I'm just very skeptical when it comes to numbers without quoting source. because like 97% of those are straight out of people's asses...

Do you have a legitimate source or did you pull it out of your ass?

will vote if you post boobies

"They will have three minutes and ten seconds to spell out a Honda message to viewers before pulling their parachute cords." huh?

Answer to myself: His balloon floats away unexpectetly... MWAHAHAHAAAHAHAH that was the funniest excuse EVER Seriously, is this guy for real? His baloon floated away?

I have a car and am driving to Cross Keys pretty much every weekend. Going through Manhattan (LES) so you are on my way. Send me a PM, will be nice to split ga$ money.

sammiches?

Hi, no this is not Travis ... It's a stunt for Jackass that was "inspired" by Travis. Plamer with no parachute Nice one.

up up up Anyone doing Meeker Mondays at Perris tunnel?

possibly this: http://www.skydivingmovies.com/ver2/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=6957

cover it with a hook knife

/joey's voice on/ LisaH, how you doooooooin /joey's voice off/

Absolutely!! uhmm, I guess I'm out of the loop ... what does that mean?

Hi, I will have a few days in SoCal and am trying to figure out what to do besides too much skydiving. I'm not traveling with my gear, but will try to stop at Perris and Elsinore for a few hours, and maybe do Meeker Monday at the tunnel. Essentially, it's my first trip west and it kind of happened spontaneously so I have no plans. Could someone recommend fun/unusual things to do/places to see? I'm not a touristy type, so Disneyland (etc) is not gonna work. Also, any good hang gliding places? Would possibly like to try that as well.... Thanks in advance!

Your point being? I wondered about that. Made no sense at all. It does make sense. After all he is 16

yes, i dont know... you are hot... I am drunk. Good luck with everyyhing

Unfortunately it sounds like a scam and it's been done here before. I think it's even the same guy since I remember other people being scammed from 1300 (shipped western union to Italy) before...

It was funny but wikipedia is not the place to do this. Stick to dropzone.com. Removed the jokes from the text.) (undo)" LOL Atmonauti (also known as angled flight) is a skydiving term for a type of freeflying jump invented by JP Furnari when he fell in love with Andy Newell and both decided to go toward the sky. On Atmonauti jumps, the participants fly without rig because they don't need it. A guy named Marco Tiezzi saw JP and decided that since JP was an amazing and "astronomical" skydiver, he gave the technique a name. However, "astronomical" translated to Atmonautical in Italian so JP, with his Italian last name, now spreads the gospel according to Marco. Also of note is the fact that JP Furnani also invented the technique known as walkmonauti. Marco Tiezzi claims to have invented Atmonauti, when in actually, the typical skydiver will explain that Atmonauti is merely another form of body tracking. It is a hotly debated subject with skydivers at one position, feeling this technique is a glorification of a technique by a small group of people, and the Atmonauts on the other side, defending their technique with the fervor of a religion. Atmonauti involves an angled flight body position that places wind over the head before striking the rest of the body. The body is angled in a manner similar to an airplane wing, taking advantage of Bernouli's Principle. However, flatulence (common in Atmonauts) has a significantly beneficial impact on the AoA or Angle of Attack, as it provides thrust for the Atmonaut. Thrust equals speed, and speed equals lift. However, Atmonauts must be precise in their body position in order to enjoy any significant advantage generated by flatulence. JP Furnari demonstrated the benefit of CliffHanger nutrition bars and related flatulence at the Atmonauti Skydiving convention in 1993, where he demonstrated flight with horizontal speeds exceeding 100mph, and vertical speeds of sub-70mph! For those unfamiliar with skydiving speeds, this means he enjoyed nearly 2 minutes of freefall time, surpassing the abilities of many wingsuit jumpers. He is planning on doing an 'Atmonauti Landing' without a parachute, expecting to land on a snow-covered mountain top in either Switzerland or Nevada, whichever location will grant him a waiver to jump without a canopy. There also exists a sub-discipline, currently undergoing review by the AOBPA (AerOBody Pilot's Association) that is known as Furnaromonauti. The origins of the discipline are disputed; the technique is not. Rolling eyes skyward while performing a basic backtrack, right thumb in right leg strap, left thumb pointing horizontally (think of "Fonzie" in a horizontal position), the legs are held in a relaxed manner, allowing the head, back, and upper thigh to create an airfoil. Toe points are used to maneuver right, left, forward, and backslide. Slightly dipping the chin (almost in an act of humility, which is responsible for the debate of technique origin; Furnari would never humbly hang his head in flight) creates a strong flow of air over the shoulders and abdomen, generating significant lift due to the longer area over the upper body vs the shorter area of the lower body (similar to an aircraft wing). Many illustrations depict a Furnaronaut on his back in a near-classic Furnaronauti position. Even after the parachute fully deploys, a skilled Atmonaut in a Furnaronauti position will be able to maintain altitude and nearly match speed with, a deployed canopy pilot."

Zoodive.com has very good prices and customer service has been great so far. You could arrange to pick it up.

Hi, According to UPT, your container is fit for 230. I have V353 which they specify for 210 and have a Sabre2 190 fitting fine. Going down again to 170 requires padded dbag (at least for my and my riggers sake). So I would say, fitting 210 to your container should not be a problem (keep that loop tight) but 190 wouldnt make me comfortable but discuss with your rigger *edited to add: What's up Rod! See you on Saturday?

Hi! I don't want to get philosophical, just want to create a record I can look at in few years. Recent events threw things at me in a very unusual manner. I came to a realization of great things I can achieve, breaking my life from mediocrity. As a result I reevaluated my life, my goals my desires. I am starting a new life today. I found the following on the net and it's sums it up really well: "I believe people can change in an instant. That doesn't mean we'll lose fifty pounds overnight, or suddenly find members of the opposite sex throwing themselves at our feet. But we can make decisions that move our lives in a new direction. The instant we make those decisions is the instant we change our lives."

Wow. Just wow.
