  1. Write it off. What are the chances that IRS is going to review YOU? I know a dude who had not file taxes in last 3 years. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  2. Couple of my buddies knows that I do this regularly. So they turned it into atmo jump once. They intentionally made skydive shitty so I'll track away really high, and they all tracked with me. One of the most random, funnest dive ever. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  3. Exactly what I do when the skydive sucks. Break off at 7000 grand. Sorry guys,,,, my dytter was set for tandems........ Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  4. found something. study of raptors and its logarithmic spiral flight Having their most acute vision towards the side causes a conflict in raptors such as falcons, which dive at prey from great distances at high speeds: at a speed of 70 m s−1, turning their head sideways to view the prey straight ahead with high visual acuity may increase aerodynamic drag by a factor of 2 or more and slow the raptor down. Raptors could resolve this conflict by diving along a logarithmic spiral path with their head straight and one eye looking sideways at the prey, rather than following the straight path to the prey with their head turned sideways. Although the spiral path is longer than the straight path, a mathematical model for an ‘ideal falcon’ shows that the falcon could reach the prey more quickly along the spiral path because the speed advantage of a straight head more than compensates for the longer path. more here. http://jeb.biologists.org/content/203/24/3745.full.pdf So I guess it isn't quite the Phi ratio.......

  5. I remember searching dz.com for phi ratio and swooping couple years back and was surprised to see Jay's post and his theory matching mine. His post and theory was up here, but I can't seem to search for it. Also he said something about how the swoop should look like water draining down the toilet bowl. Starts out big and slow, and accelerating as it spins faster and tighter. My theory came about after reading the Da Vinci Code and little more than 8th of mushroom. I wonder how JayMo came about with his theory.... kinda cool no? How you can apply golden ratio to skydiving. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  6. it is just some bullshit that I came up with after reading, "The Da Vinci Code". The book made me curious about the Fibonacci sequence and numbers, and I was researching it, and one thing lead to another I ended up staring at the picture of Fibonacci spiral. As I'm looking at the spiral, and I was thinking, "That's looks like a perfect swoop path." And when you take a look at the spiral, every 90 degree turn gradually gets tighter after another, according to the "golden ratio". This golden ratio has significance, as it applies to architecture, cosmetic surgery, sun flower seed formation, the way your ear is shaped, ect.... Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  7. Can we somehow revive cobaltdan ? Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  8. Meth question of the day. You have pile of 95% pure cocaine, and you also have a pile of 55% pure cocaine. How much of each amount of cocaine is needed to make 1000 grams of 75% pure mixture of cocaine? Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  9. the phi ratio; fibonacci spiral = maximum swoop. imagine if you can stretch the finonacci spiral vertical and make it 3D? that is the nature's intended swoop path. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  10. x= pre tax price. 0.0825x=tax. x+ .0825x=1500 1.0825x=1500 x=? or your way is correct as well. You just gotta label what x and y represents, and try to put variables on one side. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  11. The whales are protected species. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  12. No. Maybe Yes, within 20 years. How often do you get tested? What method? Can you keep fake pee in your locker or something and have access to it when it is time to go? Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  13. But the DZO will insist that you wear one on your first paid jump.... That's if you are comfortable... Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  14. But I wonder, do you really want to survive the crash? I think I rather die than suffer from that much injury. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  15. Is one at Perris or Elsinore two point harness attachment sys? The one that goes over your laps? I think the general consensus of tandem instructors who takes the seat right next to the cockpit knows the fact that they are going to get crushed no matter what. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  16. What's the next question.... Has anyone skydived without an AAD? Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  17. So the dz is non USPA, and there is no video of tandem landing, continue business as usual? Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  18. I hope Mile High wins and buys a Skyvan. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  19. I doubt any wet reserve will open very well. I've only have two jumps on completely wet canopy(Icarus 330). One of those wet canopy opened normal, and the other one came out in one chunk and stayed that way for quite a bit and then it slammed open. Think about it, drogue collapsed, chunk of 330 over your head acting as a drogue, 175lbs person hanging underneath you.... I don't think I'll ever wanna experience wet reserve staying in a big wad and not catching air under 1500 ft. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  20. +1 for the Motor X pants. Get them and cut them shorter if you wish to... I've took off all the rubber decals, that makes it much lighter. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    pd pulse

    I've only put about 7 jumps on Pulse 120, on a rented rig on a back to back days. First landing I'd admit that I've landed like shit, but all rest of them were soft landing. Totally stress free openings, wouldn't say it is the softest. Loaded anywhere between 1.7 to 2.0 Good canopy for those who just wants to land safely to the ground. If you can't flair this canopy, I wonder how are you gonna land a F111 reserve canopy which has far less flair power. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  23. Lodi is legendary. Don't talk shit unless, you've jumped there. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  24. Too bad he will get out on a probation after a year or two due to POT SMOKERS overcrowding the prison. Those damn stoners. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  25. it is going to be impossible for USPA to enforce this when FAA can't even enforce the DZ to use seat belt. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
