  1. Great Job man! Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  2. Just to see your opinion Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  3. Think this (like a pill without any rejections and elaborate on it) Think that you're just pretending to be unhappy. And the entire experience turns out to be kinda funny because you can't really pretend it well because you don't really know how. And everyone who's unhappy are just pretending too and you can read past their mask. You're not buying it!!! They are really trying hard to be seriously unhappy and fail in such a funny way because under that ridiculos mask there's someone funny happy trying badly to pretend. They know you're pretending to be unhappy and you know they're pretending and it's really fucking funny. Everybody is about to explode in a laugh real soon. LOL! Practice on this thought makes perfection. If you ever end up thinking the contrary of that idea ... well stop
  4. Wellcome to the metal team. I've broke my ankle (tibia and fibia) on a landing. I've got back to skydiving after 4 moths of winter. Yes, I've did physio therapy for some time but the biggest help was longboarding. For safety I've used ankle the rigid version. http://www.activeankle.com/products/rigid-vs-lace-up Practice thoes PLF like there's no tomorrow left for practicing!

  5. At the DZ you don't lose your girlfriend, you lose your turn .... with her! Also, on a un-related thougth, the idea behind over under started on the ground. Same thing for CRW rotations! Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  6. Your dropzone seems like the place to be. Do you guys adopt? I am the rocket man na na na na! Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  7. Funny, I saw, "So long, and thanks for all the fish!" So, you've found the next secret message. Awesome. May all your landings be awesome and thanks for all the fish! Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  8. By studying the blue thingy texture under microscope I've found a pattern. It seems to say: Skydivers are the Illuminati and they rule the world. Stay tunned for the next secret message! Either that or: Don't wory, be safe and have fun! You choose. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  9. That is quite an assertion. One that can be neither proven nor disproved. But I still wonder how you arrived at such a conclusion. An individual for which its own sexual orientation is more important than anything else (it tends to stay on his mind a lot) has less attention for anything else. I guess it depends how you want to define inteligent. These days everyone is called inteligent. For me this is someone very very inteligent White Rabbit From time to time nature creates amazing specimens. Rare people. I come from a corner of the world where people like the ones presented in that movie are valued. They crave for the plesure of understanding, of finding a different way to think a problem. I was never one of them because I'm stupid. But now times are changing.... other things are more important. I still miss the old times. From time to time I was understanding something and felt what they felt. Anyway I'm off to longboard. The concrete calls. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  10. > Why does someone else's marriage impact people? Are you talking about people that just express that same sex marriage is wrong without doing any discrimination or about people that take those kind of oppinions farther away into actions? 2nd group are badly educated. Mother fault. period. 1st group are people just like you. We want things in a certain way and we'll express that. Take your example for instance. The fact that sompe people don't agree with same sex marriage (which is their right to do so) somehow impacted you, even though you might not be affected by it. We tend to be affected by things that have litle to none real impact to our lifes. In reality, homophobes choosed to be homophobes just as much homosexuals choosed to be homosexuals. And the other way around. Me, I regret the times when people cared more about intelectual values than about beauty and sexual orientation. Times are changing. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  11. LOL! Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  12. LOL! Didn't you know that "There are only opinion". This concept that we are all in a one shared reality is just an opinion. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  13. I might be off by miles but didn't Rob Harris died due to a intentional cutaway? If I remember right, he had a 3rd canopy connected to the main canopy risers and by mistake he cutaway the main canopy (which was still in the container). Following this, the main began to be extracted by the inflated 3rd canopy in a fucked up fashion, tearing the container appart and rendering impossible for him to use the remaining reserve.

  14. Pretty original.Don't change! Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  15. Smart! Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  16. Great questions regarding patterns. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  17. If we had an "I like" button for each post, I would press it for your post in a heartbeat. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  18. I'm on the other side, outside looking in. The best things in my life comed from skydiving, not only the jumps but the entire vibe. The worst thing in my life comed from the wuffo life. What I hope to find is a chance to progress from what I am now (which is not much) to camera man and rigger while living (and making a living) on the dz. I just want to keep the best thing that happen in my life in my life. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  19. Man, I know I'm putting more gas on fire or salt on a wond but given those goals why in the world you want to downsize so fast (compared with the "accepted" progression)? Regardless of your real skills, you'll find this type of stressful reaction in most places you'll go. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  20. What are your skydiving and canopy goals? Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

  22. I've put most of my jumps on a spectre. Pretty damn good canopy. It was easy to land it. Tons of flare (You can easy pop-up if you flare too fast). Packing wise is the best thing for a beginner. Eaaaasy to pack. It has less ribs (less volume) and it forgives a lot of packing errors. I've land it on rears. On my WL 0.9:1 it didn't stall on rear risers and this gave me a lot of confidence to play with rears on landings. Is it a good canopy for the 1st 100 jumps? Even if you end up loving a Sabre2 it accelerates the learning curve a lot. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  23. So, the BB nest close to the food (hence the name Bed Bugs), Kitchen is almost never a place where you'll find them. They are attracted by CO2 emition and warm bodies (think a human sleeping - we exale CO2 and we are warm) and also they hate the sun light. They nest (lay eggs) near their pray hiding in small cracks of almost everything (bed frame, mattess, etc). Out of the 5 room we had them in only 1 room (spraying with product force them out and they were hiding in the screw holes of the bed frame) and the rig was in the basement far away from stable CO2 emitions and warm condition. Basement was clean (no BB exit as we spray it) so we decided to keep the rig in plastic bags and outside in the cold (outside) for some time. Don't use garbage bags as they are treated with a product. Hope this shades some light over the situation. I'm also looking for reserve repack if any of you riggers out there feel men enough to handle a rig that has the moral stains of co-existing nest to BB drop an email. Lol. I'm kidding. I never pack my reserve, I always Paper Pack it. LOL. I'm kidding again. Some of you will pack my reserve. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  24. Done, the exterminator clear the rig because was too far. It's outside in the cold cold weather. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  25. How about drift and 4way or tandem filming? Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
