  1. So if he didn't knew that his GF is in the house I can somehow understand. Fear of someone entering your house can make you imagine that unknown "someone" - that just sneaks in the dark with weird intentions - a very threat full person and then, with anger, you just dedicate yourself to one idea: Neutralize the threat! Anger like fear is very very immersible. Meaning your entire attention goes to one scope. Mother nature wanted it to be this way! Thanks Mom! Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

    First solid sit

    poor baby, looking for love on dz.com and crash by an asshole. The drama, the tragedy, will he make it? ... heck you'll be fine. Just listen to what that guy who has 5000 jumps said (I've forget his name but I will re-edit this post to place his name here: Dutton). AA is a problem in FF no matter what you write here. Edit as I've promised. Edited once more just to place this redundant line. Edit to add: track on back is an important thingy. Its not cool but it's important for separation.

    First solid sit

    LOL I've been caught by the beep while doing FF with people. Here people jump with 2 auditives. solid sit includes skillz like: front-back movement, side move, stand, duffy, side docks, front docks, double docks, track on the back. How's your back BTW? Congrats on your solid sit jump and good job feeding that ego of yours. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  4. > If one really enjoys the free fall and canopy time Skydiving is for fun! We're full of fly savy people that only love their cool image. I pee on them from a 180 twist on landing as I flare with some lines I grab from over the twist. That's fun! They get pissed off when I do that and I find that verry funny because they've just been pissed on. Stay safe and remember:whenever you do things for the others you'll end up being disappointed!

  5. > When I try to put the excess brake line through the elasticized nylon band that's sewn onto the risers, it often frays as it is really hard to push through there. I use a power tool or packer boy to stow the excess brakes on wings. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  6. http://www.bpa.org.uk/doc_uploads/ellipticalleblanc.pdf Not sure if is in any way helpfull but is something that comed in my mind when I've seen this subject. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  7. Makes sense Mr. 25 cents and thanks! Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

  9. I see what you mean. I had 1 hard opening and now I'm keeping an open eye to everything related. To whom might be interested I've run across this little doc http://www.performancedesigns.com/docs/hrdopn.pdf I've identify by packing a lot and opening each pack job on the ground that the way I pack moves down the slider down 1-2 inches. I've address this thing. I'm using reverse s folds. But now, I've realized that my line stows are not holding 8 pounds. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  10. > One example that I've experienced when I was a brand-new jumper (living proof that even a moderately loaded Spectre can spank you) is being head low on deployment. The resulting "pendulum" as your body swings back up can be somewhat more violent than a stable opening. It wasn't "break bones" violent, but I wound up with a good riser smack and was seeing stars for a couple of seconds. Did the spectre inflated fast or it snivel and then open up as usual?

  11. - Check your spot and refuse to jump if you don't like it. Ask your instructors "how would you check your spot if you were me?". - say "catch you later" to peer pression. - Kill your ego. Prefer to be wrong and well than right and injured. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  12. In my little book, if you can go on with your life as normal as before is not a hard opening. I had one opening that made me sleep in pain and walk funny for 2 days. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

    Next step after AFF?

    Hey man, most rentals are not freefly friendly. Also, without knowing playing with free-fly you might slide into the next group. Go tracking alone and see how much you travel. Just track perpendicular to the jump run. FF also involve hybrids Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  14. From time to time my sabre2 gives me a hard opening. I have 3 now. One really hard that give me a lot of pain. They seems to be related to open from a track. Can a track really increase that much the airspeed to explain an opening in less than 1 sec? Edit to add: I stop the track, I wave off. I just don't flare off the track. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  15. The only thing that I insist on Wings containers (and I insist because this has been missed by my rigger on 2 containers - mine and a friend of mine) is to make sure that the cutaway cable goes through the riser hard hosing. On wings, the riser hard hosing are cover with a piece of fabric that doesn't have a hole in it. More than this, the cutaway cable can be perfectly routed outside the hosing and it looks alright. Your rigger needs to make the hole in the piece of fabric that covers the hosing. In both cases this was new ordered wings. I don't have cut in laterals and I can free fly fine (back and sit). Chuting star recommended me a low po pilot suit. Don't get spandex BOC. Get the free fly handle. Get the small profile reserve handle. I have a reserve to sell Also if you want to order from chutingstar then know that I was more than happy with their service and advices! Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  16. I like it! It's like tracking but only cooler! Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  17. Dude, after jump 30 go an buy a 230 spectre, easy to pack, easy to land in no wind, with rear risers and has some penetration. Speaking from experience here! Same weight! Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

    logic puzzles

    Lets call the one that knows everything and tells the truth ET (everything truth), the one that knows everything and always lies EL (everything lies) and the guy who knows nothing but pretend to know everything (telling whatever or imitationg) W (whatever) To the question: Do you know everything? we will get ET: Yes! EL: No! W: Yes or No or Whatever. case 1: if we got 2 no answers (N shadows EL) and 1 yes answer then we know that the person who answered yes is the ET. We're going to ask him who's the other guy that knows everything and we got them all with 2 questions. case 2: if we got 2 yes answer (N shadows ET) and 1 no answer then we know that the person who answer no is the EL. We're going to ask him whos' the other guy that knows everything and since he's always lying we'll reverse the answer. case 3: it's all clear. the person who answered yes is the ET, the person who answered no is the EL and the other one is infected with bullshit(TM) and probably will become a manager or something like that Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

    Come on people, put your brain together and ask yourself how can we answer the last puzzle! Exchange PM, run scenarios. I'll give you a hint: what would each person answer to the question: "Hey, psssst, do you know everything?" Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

    I got a maximum of 4 questions. In the worst case: 3 times the same question to eveyone to identify one of them and then another question to the one that I've identify to get the other two. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

    Indeed! I'm thinking a bit later about your puzzle Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

    logic puzzles

    Forget to post the answer so I'll give you Kallend mail: For brevity, they are A, B, and A&B Take one from the box marked "A&B". Let it be an "A". Then since the box can't be "A&B" by the parameters of the puzzle it must actually be "A". We know the box labeled "B" can't be "B" from the parameters of the puzzle. We also now know it can't be "A" since the "A&B" labeled box is now known to be "A". The "B" labeled box must therefore be "A&B". So the box labeled "A" is actually "B". and heatmiser partial answer (but solid logic) Ask for something from the box labeled drugs and condoms. If you get drugs, then the remaining two boxes are Condoms, and Drugs and Condoms. The box labeled Condoms, actually contains drugs and condoms, and the box labeled drugs contains drugs and condoms.Smile Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

    Another one: Presently a mother called "Mom" has 21 more years than her daughter. If in 6 years she will be 5 times older then her daughter where is the father and, bonus question: at what age should he bring her daughter to the slaughter? LOL! As usual serious answer in PM and goofy ones, well, goofy answers put them right here! If you can't be good baby then be bad! Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
