  1. I'm over 18 but I don't have a right to vote. I'm here on work visa and I pay my taxes just like anybody else, just not being able to vote on how my tax dollars get spent. My other ride is the relative wind.
  2. What's it say about cameras? Just curious 'coz I don't have the SIM yet. My other ride is the relative wind.
  3. I'm surprised nobody has yet to mention body shots. C'mon people! My other ride is the relative wind.

    You mean like the one pictured here? My other ride is the relative wind.
  5. No sunlight would definitely suck. But then it's probably the safest place to be during a nuclear war. Then when you are the only one left with the cockroaches, that's when the real SUCKS begin. My other ride is the relative wind.

    Most amount drunk?

    For the most part, that's something I'd like to forget and never repeat.

    Why don't you just get a tennis ball and fill it up with lead? I think it should weight about 3 lbs by the time your done. Can someone who knows better please confirm this? My other ride is the relative wind.
  8. I've been turning them into .PDFs since I was bored. Where shall I put them for us to share? My other ride is the relative wind.
  9. I'm surprised Mr. David Carkeet has yet to be the first person to land a Birdman suit My other ride is the relative wind.
  10. Stay calm Clay. Don't get all excited now. My other ride is the relative wind.
  11. I don't want you to get sucked into the engines, so I'm not loaning you $$$ for your safety. My other ride is the relative wind.

    I'm running Yellowdog 2.1. Yap, on a PowerMac 8500/120 My other ride is the relative wind.
  13. Most of the setups I've seen have the cable gaffer-taped along the edge of the helmet all the way down. I've thought of drilling a hole to pass the cable through and have it snug between the shell and padding, but drilling holes on an expensive setup makes me cringe. My other ride is the relative wind.
  14. In my case, I've got 7. OK here we go... A few fries short of a happy meal. One clown short of a circus. You're depriving a village of an idiot. My other ride is the relative wind.
  15. Go to www.canoneos.com and check out their ef lense line up. I've got an EF 22-55mm for my Rebel X. Don't you think the Elan is a mighty nice and expensive write-off in case you have to ditch it in freefall? Well, it's your money, it's your call. My other ride is the relative wind.

    I think it's called WINE. But check out this G3 Mac. My other ride is the relative wind.
  18. See if this is what you are trying to do: #include #include #include void main(void) { int iDone = 0; int iCounter = 0; FILE *inputx; char inputarrayx[20]; char buf[5]; inputx = fopen("datax.txt", "r"); while(!iDone) { if(feof(inputx)) { iDone = 1; break; } else { memset(buf, '\0', sizeof(buf)); fgets(buf, 5, inputx); inputarrayx[iCounter] = atoi(buf); printf("%i\n", inputarrayx[iCounter]); iCounter++; } } fclose(inputx); } My other ride is the relative wind.
  19. I think you'll find some useful info with the following topics - http://www.zct.co.uk/skydivemag/pages/articles/apr00/ontheedge.htm http://www.zct.co.uk/skydivemag/pages/articles/apr01/chicksrockapr.htm http://www.zct.co.uk/skydivemag/pages/articles/dec98/tipsfromthetop.htm I had the opportunity to jump a 2-way this weekend with a buddy who is pretty hardcore into RW. We exit the plane seperately and did compressed accordians until 4000. He pretty much flew the mantis position the whole time. It was SWEET! I wanna learn how to do that.
  20. I've got mine set @ 4500, 3000, and 2000. It's quite normal for me to hear the 3rd alarm, and see a nice Diablo overhead. What's scary was one hop-n-pop from 3000. I pitched as soon I left, and it never beeped. My other ride is the relative wind.

    Monday funnies

    And I was wondering who could have smeared glue all over my desk this morning. My other ride is the relative wind.
  22. Check out http://www.para-gear.com. They've got a super duper heavy duty Singer for sale. I hope you're sitting down when you see the price.
  23. Brewed 10 gallons of beer : 3 jumps saturday : 1 Happy Wlie Sunday morning!
  24. I think it should be just fine. I was wearing one made by Giro when I started. The only thing to watch for is the snap secured loop on the back of the helmet that's meant to keep your googles in place. It's a snag potential, so keep your head down as you look over your shoulders to check your canopy on opening. My other ride is the relative wind.

    Sexy smile

    I think I'll have that painted on my helmet. That's funny.
