  1. Statistic data: number of times fun was used [123092] vs number of times serious was used [36644] any funny thoughts? Edit to add: Shit I've added 3 "fun" and only 2 "serious". I'm changing the balance so might as well go "fun" fun fun fun fun fun ... I'm going to go and post the new numbers. Shit that's it post your new numbers :) this is fun! Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  2. Unless you're doing back! Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  3. Man, sigh ... they don't understand the light that you have seen. It's not their fault man. Its just you and me, again, and I still believe in you. PD does too. Don't let them old experienced skydivers, who lived plenty of good years in skydiving take your entusiasm down, on internet, with their "experience" (or whatever you call that thing that makes them good). They're wrong and they don't know that. They don't know that it's a new air that we're breathing now. It's thinker and more! It's swoopier! I'll keep my Sabre2 but I want 2 b a stiletto brother with ya! I like your style BIG! PD Recommends Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  4. Clasical spoiled kid. Parents if you read this please don't spoil your kids! Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  5. > This dude is either a troll or a fucking idiot why are people still responding to him At work, bored, nothing good on the TV. You know, the usual reasons. I've made 3 good jumps sunday. one 3 way FF back and sit. I've actually succeeded to do a sit fly exit out of navajo. I've played more with docs from sit (not there yet). We've open high and we got close under parachutes (I love that, I could play for hours and hours) nothing radical just geeking at eachother, looking at the beautifull sky and having fun while getting high on life. Last jump hop and pop from cessna and I've landed in a light downwind to have a long flare. Don't know who you are but for me it makes my day and it last for few days. When I talk about it I re-love/live it
  6. Just to clear my intentions: When you invested the time to search and resurect this thread, subconsciously you were looking for something. That something is my prev post, so forget about the other old geezers talking about weird stuff like safety, recommendations and things like that. If they really want safety they should stay on the ground with their grandmothers. I know that I seem to say different things to them but that's only to make them feel good about themselves. I'm on your side BIG. Hook it BIG! I believe in you and the message that you're reading right now is what you have been searching for in this thread. You've invested personal time to find this message and now you've found it BIG! Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  7. > Hell you can't even buy a larger elliptical. Hell But forget about them BIG, they don't surf as stiletto do. PD believed in you BIG! I believe in you! Don't forget the swooping had begone the fuck away ... sorry ... swooping began with a stiletto and someone who believed he can do something with that stiletto, yo! Do you believe in yourself? Stiletto zzzeeeee weeeee zooom Go for it BIG! Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  8. I see, It's like the difference between knowing and doing. It's not important to know the difference it's important to do it! It's the difference that makes the difference! Do I know it right? Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  9. It seems that nobody here has observed his canopy flying either. Maybe he should let his flying do the talking
  10. Do you think that this chatting loop that we see here is fuel by the fact that nobody here wants to respect someone who's crying for respect? Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  11. how big the cliff, how many everyone and how long of a delay is "right after"? Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  12. The B2 (Stealth) Bomber is black. Does that suggest anything to you? Still, one has to distinguish between the types of conditions and ranges where one wants to see things. After all, the Brits very carefully chose a high gloss BLACK for their BAE Hawk jets in training use, for HIGH VISIBILITY. I'm only commenting on what might be an overgeneralized comparison, not the specifics of a particular colour in a skydiving environment. Actually I'm more on the kallend side due to an experience of mine. I have to be way more careful now that swoopers might not see me. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  13. > What, in your view, indicates that a jumper is ready for an elliptical? Logical answer: when PD recommends it
  14. Never knew why the B2 black Bomber was called Stealth. Shit! I've made a bad choice, fuck! Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  15. What about black color on top skin. Mine is like that and I've thought it's easy to spot and such! Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  16. I'm doing various formations (RW or FF) with size somewhere between 3-6. In every jump the separation looked homogenous (meaning to me it seems we all have the same distance between eachother on opening). The incident forum made me think that maybe I'm just lucky with the separation we have. Do you know/have any ways of validating that your (or your colegs) tracking skills are more than enough for the formation you're about to build? Edit to add: Shit, I'm an idiot and I didn't see the other tracking thread that exists right here. My appologies for the spam. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  17. PD said it's OK! This has to mean som'thing! Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  18. http://www.ehow.com/how_4860242_swoop-a-parachute.html Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  19. C'mon man! Can I feed him a little bit? Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  20. No, no man, think about PD. They believed in you! Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  21. That could be true man. Do you think that eventually, he's going to make up a story how this alter ego died? Fucking awesome idea!!!! Great job Ron! I like him more! Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  22. Wasn't disconcerting to me when I first jumped one. Same behavior as most airplanes and all gliders; it was pretty much what I expected. clicky clicky clicky Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  23. What the fuck I know but hear this: I fly a Sabre2 190 WL 1.1 which opens really weird; sometimes it gives me 360+ in a line twist. I have close to 200 jumps. Me and a couple of my friends that get the same type of openings are glad that we didn't jump stiletto as students. Maybe on this side of the world people are stupider but I feel good that I didn't and currently don’t see ant instructor here saying "yeah bro, jumping a stiletto as student is cool”. Heck, people are soooo stupid, on this side of the world, that we still have students that lose stability at 11 jumps and open at 3500 and not 5000, we have students who land in the trees, one students that broke a finger on exit from cessna (the finger stayed inside) and one student who broke her back from turning left, instead of right as the radio guy said and then correcting with a low right 180 turn into the hospital. By pure statistic: Hell NO! If we want to bring more people in our sport (even the students that I've seen quit because of a landing accident) then students should put on canopies that have very similar characteristics (open/flying/landing) as the reserves because there’s an historical statistic reason why reserves fly like they do.

  24. Is the DZO the kind of person who wants to be in control? If yes maybe he's offended that he's the last one to know and pointed a sharp tooth at you. He only talk/bark but didn't take no actions. You've should presented this information directly to him and not allow that other people or eavesdropping takes it to him. If no ... I can't relate Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
  25. So, semantics wise you'll probably win. It was a mistake from my side to tell that the decision altitude is 1000ft. I should have made reference to pressure instead. However, I think that you agree with me when I say that if I've just been stood up by the main opening on 1000ft the cypress will fire no matter what is wrote in that pdf document and this is the real good lesson for everybody can take out of my affirmations. All that been said, have a good one and take care! Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!
