    Let me get this straight. First you drink more than you should. Next you proceed to assault people, provoked or not, by punching or kick men in the balls. And you are pissed because you were bounced and then weren't given your coat back? Coat seems a small price to pay versus the expense of defending yourself from assault charges.

    downsizing

    DougH replied to charly's topic in Gear and Rigging

    Deployment bag is matched to the container, it stays the same. Smaller canopies, to a limit, will expand to fill the volume in the dbag. I won't touch the smallest size though, I don't have a G4, and even if I did I would want to see the canopy in the rig and the tension on the closing loop before giving you my opinion!

    Is there any websites that will match a flight number to a tail number? I am wondering if I have to call one of my clients in Ireland to tell them they lost a plane in the Hudson River!!! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

    I've got a whopping $2.46 in profit on my smugmug page. which means that so far I've made -147.54 But I too am not doing it for profit... I just have prices to help offset some of my costs... I'm not that outstanding a photographer yet either... I sold my first bunch of pictures last night. I never expected some one to buy my pictures, I but I liked the pro features! Only 120 bucks left to go till break even! Score! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

    I posted another 8 pages or so of pictures from the boogie. I hope you enjoy them!

    What were the mals on the main? Any idea of the mechanics of the event that bent the reserve pin? I never liked the tarp bungee slider keepers, but I have been using the new skysystems magnetic. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

    There a few variables and important one is conditions that rig was stored in. I trust that a properly packed reserve would function fine well in excess of the 6 month repack cycle if it was store in temperate dry conditions, that protected it from damadge. I am much less likely to trust it if the container has been store in the trunk of some ones car all summer!!! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

    Many life insurance policies don't pay out on suicide right? "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

    I just wanted to bring this thread back up to the top and thank every one for a great boogie! I know it was smaller than last year but I made about 35 jumps and I had a blast. I shot video and still the whole boogie, and I was lucky to get to take part in some cool organized jumps thanks to Airspeed, AZ Diveworks, and others. Here are a link to a small number of my pictures, I will get the rest up eventually, and also change out the watermark so it isn't the obnoxious PROOF! http://www.terminalstills.com/gallery/7082263_kvvYB#453931970_FpdS3 "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

    For some reason this comment made me spit my coffee out this morning!! That may be somewhat related to the fact that I was in work at 5:00 Am though. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

    I allways thought forward through plays some role. You get thrown forward at X speed, then gradually change speed and direction. So the net change in velocity is less than an exit from a stationary object. Then again I never was a physic whiz =P "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

    Is that website still rocking the dawn of the internet web design from 1994? I love that site. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

    Which month? Do you have any expectations for temperature and weather? Is the lowest jump cost a factor? "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

    I put it alone into my roll-on to keep the x-ray image simple for the screeners. Most screeners see rigs infrequently or they have only seen a rig x-ray image from a manual or internal document. I want to keep the visual as simple as possible. 50/50 they either let me roll on through, or swab the roll-on and the rig and let me roll on through. Simple!

    Pilots have higher front riser pressure from some, but you just may need to eat a few cheeseburgers. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

    That can't be right, maybe you should have verified this! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

    I call and ask for refrences. I have called fellow jumpers, rigger, and DZO. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

    It is warm compared to last year. I have been getting the chance to fly camera on some great organized dives. It doesn't seem like there are a lot of other camera fliers at the boogie. Last dive of the day yesterday I flew camera on a 44-way with one other camera flier.

    Awesome! That is music to my ears. I was hoping I wouldn't get frozen twice. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
