  1. Maybe the people sharing the same air space "give a fuck". "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  2. You have some life left in the season. Go to cross keys and get it done. I know the weather gods are all conspiring against you as a student, but you have almost two months!! How hard could it be! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  3. I thought he really liked his Nitro... what does he need to demo a Vision for? "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  4. Don't you know that they take away moderators humor in exchange for the key to the executive bathroom? As for the OP, I am pretty amazed you can't remember who sold you your canopy! How many canopies have you been buying! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  5. Don't tap it, they are fragile! That is why the rental alti's are allways so fawked up. Every student... tap tap tap tap tap... the whole ride to altitude lol. Just shake you hand a little if you think it is sticking. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  6. Haaaa!! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  7. Yup. Just wondering, how do you know he isn't a real jumper. Chances are he has more jumps than half of the posters here in chit chat. E-groupies. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  8. I am sure their designers are working on that problem right away. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

  10. Thats cool, I was just wondering if your loading was possibly very low on the pilot because your experince sounded so 180 from mine, but 1.1 is right around my loading when I first started flying a pilot. I have about 300 jumps on pilot over the past year, sizes ranging from the 188 to the 132. The 188 was my first canopy right after AFF, and I put about 150 jumps on a 168 at a loading of about 1.1. Even at the lighter loadings I never experinced a problem with getting the canopy to stage and land exceptionally well.
  11. That is too bad, but maybe you can share more information. What size was the pilot, what did you load it at. Did you move to a higher wingloading when you got rid of the pilot? "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  12. That would depend on what he wants to do with the canopy. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  13. Unless I am critical I am getting a ride to the ER so they can treat the injuries I sustained when cleaning the gutters. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  14. Woh!! You're setting the standards a little too high for around here! Most in here aren't picky about the pulse... or the vagina. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  15. Awesome thank you!! They have exactly the color I need. Now I just need to figure out how much I need to order. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  16. That video was awesome aside from the obnoxious sound effects! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  17. Wow what a helpful posts, don't bother elaborating! We wouldn't want you to strain yourself. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  18. I think so! You think so too, that is why you had the sucker in a container in the basement, instead of in your container heading for the basement. I think they outfly a pilot any day, but I love both canopies though, especially for new jumpers. Just don't over pay for a used hornet! As far as the new container and used canopies, why? The price for a new container is going to come close to what he might get for a whole used package. This may not be the deal for him, but he really doesn't need to spend three grand. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  19. Older hornets can be tamed by rolling the four nose cells on each side and stuffing them into the center cell. Free fix, and it makes the hornet open like a pilot. But he would be getting a later year hornet so it will already have the larger slider and it should open great. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  20. At least his posts are consistent. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  21. Can I help with anything else after I take them off. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  22. Back To The Top "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  23. If we all pooled money and started a little corporation I bet we could get enough scratch together to put together a great website detailing all of their shady dealings and get ads for it to the top of all the skydiving queries on google. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  24. Don't you need a good counter argument to play devils advocate? So because the skyride problem is difficult, and probably we will never see them fully go away, we should give in instead? "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  25. So you really can teach an old dog new tricks!!! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
