    Actually, plenty of people swoop substantially more than 400 feet nowadays on a regular basis, just not through a regulation course. The record is from a clean entry inside a course with five foot entrance gates. The point of the criticism was that it would have been MUCH better publicity to show your canopy being piloted skillfully through the course, or simply to show it away from such "constraints", out in the open. Still, I think it's a really cool looking parachute. I saw it at the PIA symposium.

    I got away with jumping an unmodified Jav (actually two of them) for a long time with only a long bridle, but still had a couple of hesitations, even packing pin to grommet. On a "square corner" rig such as a Javelin or Gus's superfly, I would absolutely recommend the mod that Morpheus does. I still can't figure out why they didn't do Gus's rig for him when he was in Z-hills.... On rigs with "wrap-around" bottoms, like my Wings, newer Mirages, and Voodoos, simply cutting the seam down and making sure the bottom corner retains a bit of structure is a no-brainer. None of those companies charge anything for that when you order them new.

    That is a good way to explain it, only very dynamic.

    Wow, what a fantastic site.

    Good one, Tony.

    Katie and I use XM and we paid for like four years right off the bat. It's awesome.

    Just fetched the newly-declawed and gutted feline from the vet. She is in good spirits.

    Damn! Mark Sunman in the house! I had no idea you possessed that knowledge. Peace, Chuckie

    I do it several different ways, each dependant on what I wish to accomplish. For really dramatic, tight "circle surfs", I generally nail one toggle just as I am coming down to swoop height. After I am sideways, I nail the other toggle a bit to get me penduluming around in a circle. Once I am around as far as I think I can get without my main going away, I nail the opposite toggle to get the canopy back over my head. For carves through long courses, I generally just steer through the course with my harness, gently assisting the turn with a bit of rear riser on that side (both hands on rears). I get the canopy clean over my head at the end of the course by adjusting with a bit more opposite brake.

    Mary, how did you NOT meet Amazon at Eloy?

    There are quite a few shots of cool people in there. Me, Katie, Winnie Chang! Hooty HOO!

    Got it. I completely spaced that this was concerning NG troops. I certainly don't know all of those. Still, as I said in my original response and what you concurred with: this isn't something people need to be donating to.

    Is he getting penile implants? Chris is a trooper; he will be fine.

    Speaking of kitties though, I have to go fetch our new one, Ellie Mae, from the vet in a bit. She got her front claws ripped out and spayed yesterday.

    I KNEW I could be of assistance in this matter. Another option would be to throw the cat in that green cesspool you guys call a hot tub.

    Jack Ceman is a big teddy bear and TLML is very nice as well. Both are fun to party with.

    Lock the cat into Sefan's house.

    Johnny Mulford will not be there organizing this year. He and the rest of the USASOC parachute team will still be training in Arizona until the end of February. I found this out yesterday. That said, I am better looking than Johnny and can absolutely organize RW as well.

    If I am going to draw my firearm, I am certainly going to discharge it... three times.

    And that is the crux of the matter. Landing downhill, head-first, with your arms strapped to your sides.

    1st thing I thought of when I saw that was.....CHUCK BLUE!!!! I don't have back hair, Kelli!

    Tell Cancer Chris I said "what up."

    You are assuming that all the schools are teaching proper ISP; they are not. There is not a single dropzone in the state of Georgia so far as I can tell that is doing anything other than "old" seven-level AFF. Too bad.
