  1. WTF? What NJ bureaucrat did you have to blow to get permission for that? Methane Freefly - got stink?
  2. The ones you listed are for snowboarding. The field of view in those things is seriously limited. I certainly wouldn't recomend that for a new jumper. Why not order these? Methane Freefly - got stink?
  3. I've been thinking about that since I first saw a video of a wingsuit. I think that the extra drag the suit would create during the downhill portion might be a problem. Methane Freefly - got stink?
  4. Anyone know if there is a way to get pictures from a canon 20d directly onto an iPod? Methane Freefly - got stink?
  5. Step 1: Wait until someone has their head down in a pile of nylon. Step 2: Start walking in the victim's direction. Step 3: Rope one when you are about five feet away. Step 4: Circle victim twice. Step 5: Walk to the other side of the hangar, watch and wait.... Methane Freefly - got stink?
  6. While your checking, see if you can find the place where it says someone with 5000 jumps isn't qualified to operate a DZ. Wow, did you go to upstairs hollywood medical college too? Good job! Great way to spend your time. While your at it, see if you can find out if DB Cooper had a valid USPA membership at the time of the highjacking. Your posts remind me of a Howard Stern show. I don't want to listen, but I can't tune it out. It's just too absurd. Maybe if you and your DZO spent more time thinking about what's missing at your DZ and less time sniping at the competition, you wouldn't be where you are now. Methane Freefly - got stink?
  7. The second post in the thread is by someone claiming to be at the council meeting. Methane Freefly - got stink?
  8. You forgot: 1 to make the URLs clicky. Methane Freefly - got stink?
  9. The economy had been trending down for a while, which was a resul mostly of the .com bust. It may not have been "in the crapper" but it was certainly walking towards the outhouse. Then, 9/11 happened, and completely removed any momentum that was left in the economy. I don't really blame the .com bust or 9/11 on Bush or Clinton. But they were the two major factors that put us where we were in 2003 and 2004, soaring unemployment and a sagging economy. At this point, I think most economists would agree that we are just about recovered, economically, from 9/11. Now, was it because of the tax cuts, or the adjustments made by the FED or was it because the economy just healed itself? No one really knows. Methane Freefly - got stink?
  10. On my old javelin, when I first had the rsl removed, the rigger covered the hook with a peice of pile. To answer the question, "Why remove the guide rings?": After a couple of repacks, I noticed that the guide rings were causing a dent in the reserve flap. On the next repack, I had the guide rings removed. Methane Freefly - got stink?
  11. Another good one is where you take a screen shot of their screen, then set it as the wallpaper, hide all their icons, and the start bar. The screen will still look like their desktop, but nothing will work. Methane Freefly - got stink?
  12. That makes no sense at all. I am all for citizens being armed, and I certainly think that if they were, at most one or two would have died before she was taken out, but it would not have prevented it. If the woman's goal was to sneak in, kill a couple people and make a clean gettaway, sure, knowing everyone inside was armed may have stopped her. But she went in on a suicide mission, a few guns on the other side would not have prevented this. It may have mitigated the harm she was able to cause, but that's it. Methane Freefly - got stink?
  13. handlaunchaerobatics.com has a bunch of info on how to take a stock zagi and make it kick ass. The site is owned by a former skydiver/base jumper and he is pretty good about answering questions. I just ordered my second plane, I bought a XR Glider from combatwings.com, none of me nor the guys I build with have tried this one yet, so I would recomend staying with the zagi 5c, which you can order from hobyhorse.com. If you have more questions, PM me. Methane Freefly - got stink?
  14. No, but I know of a couple of cases where thw waiver held up in court and the case was dismissed. Methane Freefly - got stink?
  15. "....and if you are going to have a freefall collision, try not to have it with someone who weighs 200 pounds." If stupid didn't hurt, we wouldn't learn. ver 1.0 - If you're gonna be dumb, you'd better be tough. ver 2.0 - If you're gonna be dumb, you'd better be tough, but lucky will also work, and it hurts less.

  16. I did it at Quincy once. I was rushing to make the king air, and since the ride up was so short, I never noticed it until freefall. I dumped and grabbed each shoulder with the opposite hand. I was also jumping a spectre at the time, so the opening was fortunately quite soft. I grounded myself for the rest of the day, and since, I've become a bit of a chest strap nazi. My favorite is to look for someone with low jump numbers running to meet the plane in the boarding area. I would say 3 times out of ten, you'll find something wrong with their gear, be it a twisted legstrap or a misrouted cheststrap. Keep your eyes open! Methane Freefly - got stink?
  17. Has anyone tried any of them? Are there any problems with tape flutter or any other pitfalls? Search the P&V forum returns a few threads, but I was unable to find anyone who said, "Yes, I jump one, and it rocks." Methane Freefly - got stink?
  18. Hey at least I wasn't inside when I popped! Nor was I in a conveyance of any manner....now pub golf, that is another story. That was from the year that I took home the gold. Methane Freefly - got stink?
  19. There is no way Bobby and Bubba should be allowed on the same team for Beer Olympics. That's like sending a highschool team up against the Philadelphia Eagles....well, the eagles from a year other then this one. As a previous gold medal winner of the Beer Olympics(2004), I have to say, this goes against the very spirit of Beer Olympics. If they insist on being on the same team, I think they may have to have a three shot handicap. Methane Freefly - got stink?

  21. HOW TO REALLY POOP AT WORK We've all been there and we love to tell storys about it. We all love a good WORKPOOP. For those who hate pooping at work, the following will probably seem repulsive, but for the rest of the normal people out there who love to thump one out, I'm sure you will love it! CROP DUSTING: When farting, you walk briskly around the office so the smell is not in your area and everyone else gets a whiff but is unsure of where it came from. As they start to look around and try to figure out who it was, point and double over with laughter removing all doubt. FLY BY: This is the act of scouting out a bathroom before pooping. Walk in and check for other poopers. If there are others in the bathroom, leave and come back again. If there are no people in there taking a leak, leave and come back again. You don't want your stink lost in the stench of someone else, or worse yet, them getting credit for it. Also, you don't want to waste it on an empty room. ESCAPEE: This is a fart that slips out while taking a leak at the urinal or forcing a poop in a stall. This is usually accompanied by a sudden wave of pride. If you release an escapee, exclaim, "whoa! Nice one! Wait till you get a wiff of that!" Never pretend it did not happen. If you are standing next to the farter in the urinal, inform him that he is a dirty bastard, and you know it, but make sure he understands that this only increases your opinion of him. Never miss a chance to make a crude joke about a bodily function. JAILBREAK: When forcing a poop, several farts slip out at a machine gun pace. This is usually a side effect of diarrhea or a hangover. If this should happen, do not panic. Quickly shout out, "Fucking chilli dogs!" COURTESY FLUSH: What are you, Martha Stewart? WALK OF PRIDE: Walking from the stall, to the sink, to the door after you have just stunk up the bathroom. Quote Ace Ventura and make sure everyone in the bathroom(and the hall outside if your really potent and proud) knows that it does stink, and it was you that caused it. IN THE CLOSET POOPER (ICP): This is a colleague who poops at work and follows those stupid HOW TO POOP AT WORK rules that circulated the internet when it was still in its infancy. They should be riddiculed and publicly shamed. THE POOPING FRIENDS NETWORK (P.F.N): A group of co-workers who you know won't report you to HR, cry to their therapist, or worse if you do any of the above things in their pressance. SAFE HAVENS: A Safe Haven is a seldom-used bathroom somewhere in the building where one can least expect visitors. Try floors that are predominantly of the opposite sex. In the closet poopers like to seek these out. Wait till one of them goes in to thump out a loaf, give em about 5 minutes to get there stink on, then barge in with a, "Jesus christ, is that you? What the hell did you eat?" TURD FRIGTENER: When an ICP is in what they believe to be a safe haven, barge in and try to enter the stall they are in, don't worry, it will be securely locked. Pretend you are a complete moron and keep shaking the door. It will scare them so bad, their turd will run back up and hide. Enjoy the comedy the rest of the day as they walk around partially bent over from the intestinal cramping and constipation you, and their ICPishness has caused them. CAMO-COUGH: A phony cough that alerts all new entrants into the bathroom that you are in a stall is called a Camo-Cough sometimes used in conjunction with an ASTAIRE(see below). A camo-cough is a clear sign that you have an ICP on your hands, time for a Turd Frightener! ASTAIRE: This person is suffering from sever ICPism, time for a Turd Frightener. Shake the door extra hard just for fun. WATERMELON: A watermelon is a big poop that creates a loud splash when hitting the toilet water. Follow up a watermellon with, "Jesus Fucking Christ, it's like Normandy in there." HAVANA OMELET: A case of diarrhea that creates a series of loud splashes in the toilet water. Often accompanied by an Escapee. If you wasted this on an empty restroom, you really should be ashamed of yourself. Assuming someone is in there, laugh hysterically, and announce that you will never eat buffalo chicken fingers again. STAGE FRIGHT FREDDY: An SFF is a person who will not piss or poop while someone else is in the bathroom. These people are suffering from a sever case of ICPism and need to be bitch slapped into reality. They can be fun to torrment by, stoping to tie your shoe, adjusting your tie, or, if you have a member of your PFN with you, the two of you can discuss last nights football game, in its entirety. Poop free and proud america! Methane Freefly - got stink?
  22. I had $5 on Palacheck...who won? Methane Freefly - got stink?
  23. SCRAPPLE!!!!!!!!! It was the official breakfast meat of team methane. Methane Freefly - got stink?
  24. You should argue that that is a good reason to give you custody. You may not be around too long, and your kids should get as much quality time with you as possible. They can spend all the time with their mother after you lose your life due the dodgy equipment we all jump. Methane Freefly - got stink?
  25. Ok, now I'm pissed. I don't need my mother sending me tearful emails about this shit. People, if you are going to be stupid, try to keep it to yourself. Methane Freefly - got stink?
