  1. Will test tomorrow! Thanks! Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  2. Hi guys, I`m having a vigil download tool and the vigil graph application and I can`t seem to make the software work. The download tool is connected to the computer and we have no errors regarding that. I can also access the unit information but I can`t seem to access the graphs and the jumps. Anybody has experience with this tool and software. The reason we`re looking into this one is because one of our staff is getting speed close to pop up speed while doing his 720 acording to his viso. We want to double check and also to learn how to use this tool. Regards, Jean-Arthur Deda. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  3. I think we both know why is this happening. The skydiving culture needs whatever we can get in order to survive (financially and population wise). That makes the treshold for acceptance to be lower. I mean how often to you see someone who starts that has his head on the right track? Young, Dum and full of cum is what we mostly get. Time and experience makes them wisers. And when they get wiser it already exists a new generation of skydivers that is ready to hate the wise ones. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  4. End Cells were badly educated. LOL. Low wingloading, slow and long opening, some canopy designs are more prome to end cell closures and God. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

  7. There's a sequence in Good Stuff from Joe Jennings where a guy is filmed by a camera placed in the canopy and the camera is faching down. Does anybody knows how was that made with respect to openings and safety? Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  8. I like the 3 list idea. What do you do when a person is on more than 1 list? Let's say for instance and instructor Mr. Versatilium is on the Tandem and video list. Does he take the 1st job found for him and he's removed from the other lists rotation until the end of the job? Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  9. I think you're right. Considering that the guy had 0 linetwists then without disconeting and connecting badly the risers and then doing a shity pack job you can't fly backwards
  10. My brother from another planet thank you. Thanks and Keep it real like you know the deal, yo! Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  11. Some time ago someone posted a google earth link that does the accuracy trick for landing inside google earth. Does anybody remember that link? Thanks! Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  12. Hi everyone, Just a small question to see how other dropzones are organized in terms of priority between instructors. For instance at a certain dropzone lets call it XXL-Xtreme-2-cool-for-school-fool the tandems instructors are taken in a certain order, each instructor has a priority (based on the age in rating at DZ or sport or number of jumps, whatever). This means that certain instructors get picked more than the others based on that priority. How does your or what rules what ways of thinking uses your dropzone sets the priority for: - Tandems Instructors - Vidiots - AFF The reason I'm asking this is because few friends of mine want to find something that works best for everyone.

  13. Now I know why russians are naturally happy! C+ please! Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  14. Guys, are you trying to kill the thread with the boring stuff? I find that a lot of this new "research" are just big names for eldery teachings. The elders didn't charge for their teachings. danke schön! Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

  16. So, can we conclude that anger is a sign that: - either in yourself or in the people you interact on the dayly basis there's a missmatch in believes. Ex: An inteligent men living between idiots. - a poor understanding of the crude reality of life. Ex: An idiot that gets angry when for the 7th time the inflated water of the river gets his house destroyed, instead of moving his house upper. Does that makes any sense?

  17. > I wonder if he'd get angry if I walked up to him on the street and slapped him? I'm almost certain I'd see a spontaneous response of some sort and I'm pretty sure it would be anger. I kinda agree with what he said. He'll probably be surprised and angry because you've *believed* that hiting is something good. And he'll be right because if everybody hit when they wanted where would we go?
  18. > "Anger is not an involuntary emotional response to a specific situation. Anger arises from a philosophy--a way of viewing the world. At its core, anger represents an outlook of grandiosity, self-righteousness, commanding, and condemning." Totally agree with you. You've express in a clear way some of my ideas. Maybe with the detachment from anger I was meaning changing your believes on how the world is working. Is like we create a map of how the world is working with our believes but the map is just a map and not the real deal. Maybe a lot of anger comes from badly created maps and people way too attach to their maps. Interresting ideas here. For sure the only way to avoid anger is for all of us to have sync maps with reality. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  19. + 1 to what wmw999 says. And after 199 jumps when you buy yourself a new canopy, buy some spectra cord and transfrom the old pd170 into a traction kite. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  20. Can we also say that a certain detachment from the urges is happening? Due to the fact that angers puts the individuals in recuring bad sitations faster than the other "gifts" (that nature gives) at equilibrium, in each individual a dissociation between the anger and the individual is created. The idividual is no longer the anger but the person who is aware that has a choice to listen to anger or not. Does it holds any water? Probably this detachment happens sooner than with other urges nature gives. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  21. Mother nature give humanity, give us this thing, this concept called anger that finds ways to express itself. I know that everything has a good and a bad side. We all know the bad side of anger. But what's the good side that anger directly or indirectly brings? Or, to see it in a different perspective let's imagine a tribe of people that don't know anger and that live in equilibrium. With the introduction of this concept anger after a while when equilibrium is found how is the tribe changed compared with how it was before? What mentality they have now?

  22. Quick, is there a map for vagina deepness? Maybe we can organize ourself in a smart way so that everybody is happy Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  23. There's also time. Time before one had a certain opinion. And opinions forms somehow. Either from facts or some other opinions. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  24. I don't know how it works at your place but where I'm jumping the pilot and the DZO gives the OK for High Altitude Hop & Pop. Something about trafic and circling down (plane is a Navajo). I know that their decission depends on other people for sure but I've never asked how they decide/find out if we can go or no, I've just took it as it comed. But asking is the way to go.
