  1. Mom: If everyone jumped off a bridge would you? Me: (then) Yeah. Me: (now) Um...YEAH!!!
  2. There is a collegiate boogie. It was in feb in Palatka this year. I didn't make it, but I've been told it was a cool time. In the past its been in Williston and was a very cool event.

  3. My impression was that under risers (both front and rear), the performance and flight characteristics were essentially the same. It was the behavior under the toggles that I found objectionable. Specifically, the tendency to make a minimum of 90 degrees of over-steer after a deep toggle input. The degree of counter steering needed to compensate for this was time consuming and made the flight more difficult to manage. What I mean is the more inputs you have to make, the longer a given maneuver takes this is fine up high, but down low it can put you behind the curve. Secondly, if you compensate for this by not counter steering but slowing the entry and exit of the toggles, you still are wasting time. Maybe if I had one for more than a day I might feel different, but I don't see myself doing that any time soon. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway...

  4. It was gratuitously violent, blatantly anti-semitic, historically inaccurate and without a single redemptive quality. Other than that, it was typical religious bullshit.

  7. The real reason Iran will be vaporized is that the military is too thin to make a sustained operation there AND to avenge 1979. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door.

  8. Letters written by lawyers usually get their attention. Seriously. Don't let them paper you to death. Sue, sue often and fast. Let them reap what they sew. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door.

  10. The one I jumped as a demo had a very sweet opening, but was all down hill after that. My Katana flies and lands much better. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door.

  11. Paul shot the video for my 1000th jump. Jo was a fellow student (and hotel roommate) during my rigger class. They are both outstanding idividuals. I wish them all the best.

  13. If you can handle the traffic after a full king air load at C-burg, you'll have no trouble with the few additional bodies at Eloy. They have two LZs and plenty of space. Plus, there is miles and miles of desert if you can't make it. All in all, it's a cool place and not at all unsafe. Wish I could go with you. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door.

  14. We are more than willing to talk about this, but you need to be more specific about what your objective is. Your question is so vague that we think you are a troll. Clear the air for us please.

  15. Well, both issues come from the same origin: Fundamental christianity. Amazingly, neither one works and yet they both have a huge propaganda machine behind them to prop them up and hide the fact that they don't work. Meanwhile, kids keep getting less and less education while their parents whine louder and louder that kids are stupid. The mind boggles. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door.

  16. A big, huge, Cinnabon. Dripping with icing in all its hot, gooey goodness. mmmmmmmmmm
  17. Fly an SF 260. It just looks too cool not to.

  19. Yep, we have a few that are on the "bounce/biff bingo" list. It's just a matter of time. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink. (I never heard of you either!!) AA #2069 ASA#33 POPS#8808 Swooo 1717
  20. Sounds like bullshit to me. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink. (I never heard of you either!!) AA #2069 ASA#33 POPS#8808 Swooo 1717
  21. Which demonstrates the part about "open mental wounds are breeding ground for meme infection..." or words to that effect. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door.

  22. I'm 43 and will probably be permanently single. Not because I want to, but because I'm too old to be interesting to women. Somehow the fact that my head is now resting on my father's body has rendered me invisible to women. At least that's my story, and I'm sticking to it. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door.

  23. Broke ribs in a motorcycle crash (got seriously lucky on that one). Fractured leg from running marathons, broke a finger playing volleyball. So far that 's it.
  24. Baltimore here. I'll PM you with digits. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink. (I never heard of you either!!) AA #2069 ASA#33 POPS#8808 Swooo 1717
  25. Your slider was probably not seated all the way up. Even a deviation of 1 inch can lead to brutally hard openings. Make sure your slider is all the way at the stops.
