Extended AFF's more the better or throw in towel
d123 replied to Bluebaby0108's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
> 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!

> 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!

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!

> 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?

- 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!

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!

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!

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.

Wings owners, lend me your ears and opinions.
d123 replied to npgraphicdesign's topic in Gear and Rigging
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! -
I like it! It's like tracking but only cooler! Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

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!

I think it's the time for me to learn something from you, again

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!

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!

Driving fast from the land of threads&posts comes someone who introduced the concept of wrong to the 45 degree separation rule.

> Ok, I think you're cheating! Is that a clue? So, let me see, you say that you think, so this means that you think therefore you exists! Is that the answer? Anyway, we've got one good answer to the last simple puzzle. Ladies and gentlemens from the the land of personal messages comes with a short and fast answer: Give it up for THE ONE, THE ONLY: Heatmiser!!!!!! The roof, the roof is on fire!!!!

Here's another one, a simple one this time: The Devil catches you and tells you this: Hehehehe, fool, I have a puzzle for you and if you don't do it right, your soul will be mine 4eva fool (yes the devil was trying to be hip, like Mr.T). Here, look, we have 3 boxes. In one box we have drugs, in the other one we have condoms and in the last one we have a mix of drugs & condoms. Each box has a label: on one label it says Drugz, on the other one it says Condomz and on the last one it says Drugz & Condomz. The label of each box is lying (as in what the label says is different than what's inside the box)! You can ask me once and only once to give you an item from a box that has the label that you've choose ... and like, after I give you the item you should like, tell me how should I label my boxes correctly and why because otherwise I shall bitchslap you until the end of time! Now make it fast because I'm running out of time. Mwahahahahaha! Word! As usual (Kallend pay attention) serious answer in PM and goofy ones, well, goofy answers put them right here!
