  1. One of the DZs that I frequent does something in their advertising that I consider, at best, deceptive. They Co-opt the names for different areas, e.g. "skydive Maryland", etc.. to appear as if they are located in these areas when in fact they are located in New Jersey. I could understand this type of thing if it were a case of a DZ struggling to make it or just starting up. This DZ is neither. This DZ is well established and does not need (IMNSHO) to grub for money in this way. They do well without the need to resort to such tactics. So why the deception? I just don't know.

  5. [replyIn my mind, Confederacy=Fucking traitors on the same level as Aldrich Ames, the Rosenbergs, Robert Hanssen, and Benedict Arnold... I whole heartedly agree. As a first generation immigrant (Germany), it makes no sense to me that people are hung up on fighting a 130+ year old lost cause. The civil war is over. The CSA lost. Get used to it.

  8. 0:6:0 I did get to demo both a Katana and a Velocity.
  9. Not for long. The Republicans have the goveners mansion, no further intrusion into the realm of fire arms can be expected. Once (in the next go round of local elections) the next cycle is complete, we can expect to see significant roll backs of the restrictions enacted under the previous, DNC lead, admisitrations.

  10. Well, it's looking more and more like it is going that way. The left no longer has any representation, the only issues that get attention are those that originate from the right and the party that represents the left, the DNC, is impotent. I sincerely hope that the left gets its act together, but the DNC must not be allowed to continue. They must be consigned to the dust bin of history. A new party, one that is in touch with its base, one that will truly understand its opposition, one that will truly fight for its base, must arise to replace the bloated losers that currently occupy the DNC.

  11. Nope. In fact I think Dean is what the DNC needs to finally kill it off. The DNC has no clue as to the damage he will do. Let them go I say, the sooner we are rid of them, the better. The DNC is the Whigs of the 21st century. Let them rest in peace. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink.

  13. Today, Senator Paul Sarbanes (D), of Maryland announced he will not seek a new term. Citing his age, he stated that he will step down at the end of this term. What that means for Maryland is now that the Republicans occupy the governors office and all but four jurisdictions (Baltimore city, Baltimore county, Prince Georges and Montgomery county) are voting solidly with the Republicans, a Republican senator is very likely next. Anyone who spends any significant time in the state will quickly learn that Maryland is much more red than blue. It is only a question of time until the rapidly collapsing DNC looses what was once one of its strongest states. With Maryland going red, can Pennsylvania, Delaware, West Virginia and New jersey be far behind? Which brings the next question: How long can the DNC survive if they have lost their base in the former stronghold states? I think not long. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door.

  18. I just put three demo jumps on one @ 1.6. At first I thought it was too hot, but then I REALLY liked it.
  19. You should be able to go up or down one size (from the size the container is made for) on any given container with little or no problem. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door.

  20. There is nothing about the split molar bag in a Wings that dictates anything other than standard packing procedures. The methods detailed in the manual are very straightforward and do not differ in any significant way from text book procedures. The Wings rig has some differences due to the material the freebag is made from, but once you get used to it, it is no problem at all. Why do you ask? Skydivers don't knock on Death's door.

  21. The physics are correct if you jump in a vacuum. The addition of weights simply makes it easier to equalize fall rates of two or more people who present the same weight but more or less surface area to the air that the body is moving through. In other words, it has to do with aerodynamic forces in addition to gravitational forces. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway...
