    6 people split cost, 50 bucks an hour. I'll bet Europeans are taking advantage of this. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    I've read somewhere that the leg wing of Squirrel suit takes about 500 medium sized squirrels to make it. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    Perfect container for newbies is the "used container" buy one for around 1000 and put 100-200 jumps on it and sell it back. buying new shit for your first rig is stupid, but everyone wants their own colors. You can always go up one size and go down two sizes on most of the rig. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    Wouldn't you say that the things are much different from 20 years ago? I've heard that was the peak. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    People used to hang out after sunset, and drink those beers. How many DZ's still do that? Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    The country is at war still, so therefore General Aviation is limited to almost nothing. Lots of buildings to jump, but lots of power lines and signs. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    DZO of Taft, Lelo is one of the nicest guy you'll meet. Suvivor of gnarliest double tandem mal. Ask him about that story and he'll ask you "Which one?" If you are going to make it all the way down to Perris and Elsinore then why not include Oceanside? or even Skydive San Diego. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    hard deck

    stayhigh replied to tred's topic in Safety and Training

    Everyone on the load opened up around 1000 ft. It doesn't really take all that much altitude to open up if you throw your PC right out the door. Only thing I remember from this jump was that it took me like an hour to beg everyone at the dz to get on the load. Since it was weather day there were shit ton of camera next to pond, I was frothing to hit it, only get cut off by someone on sabre 2 190. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    Skydive Taft just acquired a turbine A/C. Beech 99, cousin of King Air. I've heard SDSB is a super tandem orientated DZ. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    Paragliding

    stayhigh replied to Stumpy's topic in The Bonfire

    Like I said, most take up shit ton of risk just to sit there and do nothing. Seriously, most of the paragliders do nothing. No SATs, No infinity tumble, not even a few helicopters. They just like to see how much they can climb and talk amongst themselves with the radio, and they talk about what kind of sandwich they have brought for lunch, and they listen to vario like it is music from heaven or something.

    Paragliding

    stayhigh replied to Stumpy's topic in The Bonfire

    I've done some ridge soaring. I've realized that being 50-100 ft off the ground isn't fun at all. Being 2-5 ft off the ground is fun but I'm too much of a pussy to do that. these guys make paragliding look fun, other than that I see bunch people taking up shit ton of risk just to sit there and do nothing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwPzCOp_hGo Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    RSL? who did that? Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    20 min in tunnel is way cheaper than several aff level 4. and know how to put your arm back in to socket before you do the tunnel thing. Tunnel instructors will not help you when you have shoulder dislocation, and sucks and hurts alot when it is out of socket for extended amount of time. I've seen two dislocation inside the tunnel, both of the student never had prior shoulder dislocation. Normal box man position will stress your arm socket even more, you'll need to learn how to fly in mentis position. Skydiving requires two arm, having to flair with one arm is very difficult, but not impossible. Think about all the possible scenario. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    it is relevant. it is stupid to see a person who barely loads their canopy at 1.2 and wanting full RDS. If you load it enough go for it. Contact Jojo at Skydive San Diego. His shit was legit 5 years ago so it has to be better now. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    Do you really need full RDS on KA 170? Unless you weigh like 245lbs. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    Guy named Yoyo, or Jojo. He used be/or still is down at Skydive San Diego. He made the best RDS system that I've seen in the market, super light rings, and most importantly super FAST to hook it back up. You only have to push the cable thru once per ring. I hate one of those RDS where you have to push the cable thru two or three times per ring. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    Serious question, how long does it take for you to close the rig? I mean after the canopy is in the d-bag and sitting in the container ready to be closed. When I was new to packing, it took me like 3-5 mins to close the damn thing, and by the time when I was finished fighting with it, the closing loop was trashed. I was not using the right technique with the pull up cord. I was pulling up the cord towards me rather than pulling the cord side ways away from the rig using the grommet as a leverage point. On serious note, talk to your rigger or your instructor, and ask them how make the closing loop out of used dacron or mircolines. I make my own closing loop out of used dacron lineset and I used to change them once or twice a year, and that's after 500-600 jumps. The pic below is my closing loop and I haven't changed them since sometime 2 years ago, and I've only put about 100 jumps on it. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    can't seem to take a joke dude. I make my closing loop with a titanium wire. fuck kevlar. Why did racer used that shit? I don't know, because they suck? My question How many racer do you see at the dz? Why are racer such a horrible looking rig? Why do people buy racer knowing that riggers hate them? I sound arrogant? You sound old.

    These swoopers who really need ass protector, is an athlete. They like the repeated ass pounding, and they wish they can impact harder if it means to go extra 5 yards or hitting the zone. Rest of the spine can careless. Drink some water and down some Advil and drive on. Hooah. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
