There is lots of thread about routing the closing loop pin in certain direction, non-smiley face method or the newer vector closing or PDF method. I've had PC in tow when my bridle got lock by my own closing pin. It eventually cleared with fat burn mark on my bridle. At the time I tried to reach for my bridle and couldn't do so. I had Mirage G4. MT. So I bang the fuck out of side of my container. You wear your rig, arch on the ground and see if you can reach the bridle. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

Cause I've seen premature tow-line breakage on a glider launch. Could've been non-fatal if the guy choose to fly straight and land in the bushes, but the dude decided to turn 180 at like 200-100 ft to land on the adjacent runway and nose dove into the ground. or this explains things clearer. http://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/wiki.php?id=68209 Bernie Sanders for President 2016

I would do it. For sure, sounds like fun adventure. But are you sure that the wing will only cost between 5k and 10k? and you get towed for between 25 to 70 bucks for 15 min flight? How do you land this thing? What happens if the tow line breaks? Does the wing have enough controllability to glide and land on it's own? Bernie Sanders for President 2016

How much $$$ will it cost me? Bernie Sanders for President 2016

Don't buy scuba anti fog, they don't work. I've used MotoSolutions stuff quite a bit. I found there anti fog stuff thru Square1, and I bought their Raincoat stuff for outside. I used to jump thru rain quite a bit. It worked on Phantom visor. I've never tried it on G2 or 3's Bernie Sanders for President 2016

MotoSolutions's Fogtech works great. Couple drops and wipe em out. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

Funny how all you think that posting something on DZ.com will bring some sort of changes, but guess what? Nothing. Thanks for playing. They are still hooking it, and that how it will be. Non of your post, or concern matters until UPT makes it official. If you want to bring changes, bring it up to Bill Booth. I've sent my letters UPT. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

Skyventure thinks that they are going to sue them once these tunnels starts making money. Hope they lose. We need something other than McDonalds, we want a Burger King, and Taco Bell right next to McDonalds. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

He has a thing for calling out names. What's my name again Doug? It's not slim shady. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

You can feel it sometimes. I've had like 3 or 4 that clumped up. That be my best guess since I have no idea what is happening behind me, but what I do know is that those 3 or 4 times, I'll feel the container pop and linestrech then nothing for a second. Every time when that happens, I wonder what can possibly hang up only with two rubber band. I never had on heading opening with those. They will always come out with couple linetwist Bernie Sanders for President 2016

I think USN gives out uniform now days. USMC still has to buy their own uniforms. Don't quote me on that tho. Not 100% sure. But going back to Wal-Mart. They should just issue out uniforms atleast the top polo shirt with the logo on it. and I want Costco employees to wear some sort of uniform or hat or something so I can flag someone down when I need to. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

Exact factor being forced to buy uniforms. I've met several at basic who didn't join USMC due to having to buy uniforms. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

I've met bunch of people who joined Army due to that exact factor. To me, it really seemed retarded to join the USMC just to receive less benefits and having to run extra full mile for the PT test. Air Force kids probably thought the same about every other branch out there. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

What is un-fair is that these employees who only makes 8 dollars an hour, now has to go spend 30 dollars or more. They have to work 4 hours in order to buy the uniform. I'm pretty sure that very few of the employees will complain, if the uniforms were issued out for free. I wish Costco has some sort of dress code for their employees. Hard to tell who fucking works there or not. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

After week and 122 replies went by. Guess what? Nothing has changed. They are still hooking it. Thank you for your voice of concern. Have a nice day. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

I've jumped on at 1.2. x-fire2 169. Did about solid 100 jumps on it. Nice openings. I never had issues of it collapsing or anything. But my friend who weighed the same went thru the dust devil with my canopy and it folded in half. Reopened in about 50 ft. I was trying to sell that canopy to him, and yeah, he didn't buy it afterwards. Was that the effect of wingload or the dust devil? Not so sure, but low wingloading didn't help either way.

Here in America it is OSHA. also here in Merica, we like to put blame on the others. It is never that kid's fault nor the stupid parent's fault. The fault goes to dude who owned the Gun range and legislature's fault. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

Again, I've got 86'ed from only one dz and that is not Hawaii nor Pacific. Now you are trolling and slandering. 4000 jumps in 30 years, you are worse than the other guy, who has done 6000. Whatever, at the end I win no matter what, you guys are old. I'm still way younger than you, and gets to fuck 21 year olds. I've done my jumps, I've walked away when it was time, and I get to surf everyday in my life. Yeah, you can have your dorkzone.com. I win. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

But I'm right about the tandem canopy flying. You go and jump at Hawaii for solid two month. You do your straight in approach and see what happens. While you are going to get thumped time to time, all the other ti that are doing 180 and 270s are standing their student up. When there is south wind blowing over Dillingham airfield, it is almost impossible to land softly using straight in approach. Believe me dude. The video shows atypical direction of landing, 85% of the time the wind blows from NE, ENE over there. Now these guys are all landing towards west, indicating that something is off. Whenever wind blows from south or SW the wind wraps around the tip of the island and over the mountain range and it becomes really bumpy, you think summer time at Perris and Eloy is bad? Go there when wind blows from SW. They stop when the wind blow over 10 mph from south. They all want to make money and they all sit at home watching perfectly blue sky on that type of day. Go jump there for a month and see how your straight in approach does to you and your passenger. That's why all these ti at Hawaii have a ego like no one else. Because they are the survivor of the fittest. Every season new instructors come out to replace those who leave the island. There is a saying, either you make it or you go home. I've seen many who refuses to hook or they simply suck at hooking it and they end up going back to main land, because the condition is too dangerous. Everything is extreme at Hawaii, from normal skydiving to surfing, speedflying, base jumping. Basically no kooks are allowed at both dz. Because they simply won't survive. Nature weeds out the weak. This is how good they are as much as I hate this dude for being so cocky, two years that I was there I've personally seen him NOT land on his feet less than 5 times. You have to respect that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0szKCKCGLE Bernie Sanders for President 2016

almost 15 years ago they were doing this. the video is so old that they are not even flying a crossbrace canopy that's how old this video is. artistic freeflying hasn't really much improved over the years. like i said, if it wasn't for the tunnels, can you imagine how good they would be right now? They were good back then. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

However I truly believe that if Ti can fly all axis with the passenger, I believe that they will never get into side spin. I truly believe that doing 180 or 270 is safe when done by competent ti, that includes every single ti that made over 2000 jumps at Hawaii. Because that's what they do. In fact they suck ass when they have to come in straight in, since they don't do that at all. I truly believe that Precision tandem canopy sucks ass compare to Sigma 340. I was bullshiting and trolling about extended drogue-less tandem jumps, just to get on someone's nerve. I still think that 6000 jumps in 30 year is weak sauce. Some ti now days do 2000 in a year. So therefore I'm weak sauce as well. It took me almost 10 years to get to 6000, that's only 600 jumps a year, which is nothing. Truth is no matter what people say over dorkzone.com. Dorkzone is still dorkzone. 95% of real skydivers that actually skydives all day long are not here reading this shit, and they will continue to do what they believe it is safe for themselves. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

again, my question still remains. How did you have a tandem terminal reserve opening? That was my biggest fear. I've seen un-inflated drogue in tow after going terminal. The tandem pair opened up normal, except the d-bag really slowly snaked out of ti's back. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

6000 jumps in 32 years is pretty weak sauce. I've done that in less than 10 years. But yeah, you are still jumping and I've quit skydiving so more power to ya bro. Don't get so eggy and shit dude, I'm just going off on dorkzone.com just like I used to when I first started off jumping. I can freely talk about my experience and how I feel because it really doesn't matter anymore. My ti rating is gone, my uspa membership is done. All I got left is talking shit on dorkzone.com. Was I trolling well enough? So again, how did you have terminal reserve opening? That was my only fear about going terminal, but once you go over 10-15 seconds you are beyond committed so at that point I was thinking "what the hell, I've reached my terminal anyways, might as well go further." Bernie Sanders for President 2016

How did you have terminal reserve opening? Only way to have that is to have your reserve closing loop to break. I've seen that side spin video. All of the Ti arched. That was the main problem. Thus completing the 4 blade propeller effect. I haven't had my student arch for the last 2000 jumps. In fact I hate when my student arch, so I tell them not to arch. I have one request for the student, and that is to keep the arms closed until I tap them on the shoulder. Only person that hates this is my video guys since it makes the tandem pair fall slower. Don't get so eggy and shit dude, I don't even skydive anymore. I'm just participating on a on-line forum just like anyone else tossing out my two cents. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

It is not several hundred dollars to go from permanent alien to full citizenship status, it costs several thousand dollars; mainly for the lawyer fee. You can file it on your own and not pay the immigration lawyer, but many choose to hire a lawyer just like many choose to hire someone else to do the tax for them. Filing for a citizenship is much more complicated than filing 1099 at the end of the year. Also you have to study for the citizenship test, which includes speaking ability and the basic US history. Most applicants often think that they have to speak perfect english and know the entire US history. Which isn't true, but that kind of perception discourages people from trying in first place. Do you think DMV's line is bad? go and try waiting in line at INS office. However it is couple hundred bucks to renew the permanent alien card and it requires no test. Which one do you think most green card holder will choose? Most of them wants to have US citizenship. US passport is like golden ticket so that people can travel anywhere in the world, and the government will bail your ass out if one gets in trouble. (most likely) Bernie Sanders for President 2016
