    Bonfire in.... 10 > 9 > 8 > 7... "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  2. Chop it how, with a hook knife? I thought that this was possible in the past.... but you would have to cut the lines off all four risers. I doubt you would get more than half the lines cut and then all you would get is a streamer for your hard work. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  3. So you jump with a mirror? "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

    Maybe you could search on the internet for one, just a thought. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  5. I am not disappointed, I don't own one, but I think you might be misreading my comments. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  6. Could you please explain what a tongue style is closing loop? I like to be on top of gear terminology, but this one is new to me. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  7. Well I certainly hope that a factory retrofit will work out. I know I would be sending back my rig, and almost all of my friends who own and ICON would do the same. I think you would have the demand for the service, I just hope it is technically feasible. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  8. I must be going deaf because my Optima sounds just right in the air! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  9. Just don't let it get to you. I have done over 125 jumps since I started that have been just plain fun. Some RW, some sit flying, goofy stuff like noodle fight and rodeos. I may never get to be the best at any discipline, but I am going to love every second of free fall. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  10. I hope that there will be retrofits too, but I won't get my hopes up. I don't think the Javelins can be retrofitted now that they are putting skyhooks in new containers, right? "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  11. Do share... how were the three jumpers orientated on the strut? "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  12. This sounds like fun, could you launch one from a smaller side door, say a C-206. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  13. If coke was legal, pure, and cheap I would use it no question!!! Better living through chemistry!!! How is it any different then people that drink alcohol, or take legal prescription drugs? "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  14. All I can think of is those kids from Harold and Kumar go to White Castle... EXTREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEMEEEEEEEEE!!!! Who cares? I don't seem extreme compared to my fellow jumper. My jumping might be considered extreme by whuffos, but I wasn't trying to impress them. Well unless they are blond, young, and hot. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  15. I just wonder if I can convince them to get freaky with each other.... "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  16. That is awesome... let me know when I can send my rig in for retrofitting.
  17. Do you have a slide show or was it just a talk? I wish I was there to listen to it! Edit: I just saw your post in this forum, thank you for sharing it with us! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  18. That video is shocking, I can't believe they let that guy exit!!! He wouldn't have been able to put himself back on the bench at that point!!!! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  19. I have skydiving dreams every night... I seem to have bounce dreams once a week. I also have dreams where I watch other people bounce, and when I go to investigate they are busy packing!!! LOL "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  20. How is a simple fraction going to confuse people? My instructor mentioned the concept in my FJC when talking about the parachute system and despite the overload I was still able to grasp the concept of my emergency procedures. I agree my comment in the FJC is a bit stretched, and yes I may be a huge asshole, so I apologise if I am out of line. This guy has no information in his profile and based on his questions he strikes me as some on that needs to spend more time talking to the instructors at the DZ, and less time posting questions on DZ.com "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  21. I have a much better idea... you can wear your protec, and I will smash your computer over your head. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  22. This question, along with all of your other questions, would be covered in a First Jump Course. Please take one already. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  23. What do you think... My real WL bounces between 1.15 and 1.2 depending on how many twinkies I eat. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  24. There are websites devoted to all types of conspiracy theories, but I am sure you already are registered on them. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  25. Personal choice. My thought was that my B license carried greater privileges like the ability to do night jumps, a lower minimum pack opening, and at most boogies the ability to get on helicopter and other special jumps. Since I my license carried more privileges I felt that I also had a greater responsibility to help others verify my credentials. It also makes it easier for me to sign peoples log books now.
