I think he'd secretly like it though... _Am __ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

Yeah, but I think you'd find you'd lose a lot of movement in the neck. Specifically, I think it'd be pretty much imposible to look up and see your canopy. _Am __ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

One of the things that makes skydiving so cool, is that we are wildly accepting of anything non-standard. Whether that's tatoo-covered freaks, people of different nationalities or sexual orientation, generally - it just doesn't matter. It's all good as far as I'm concerned. Not only would I jump with you, but if you're a half decent guy I'd be happy to call you my friend. I might even try to hook you up with someone.... _Am __ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

I never have.... I've always wanted to. I wonder if there'll be any naked jumps at WFFC? Hmmm....? Do I hear another dz.com record in the works...? _Am __ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

Oh, come on. It wasn't THAT bad of a funnel...? ya wanna talk fun funnels... when I corked a 10 way hybrid, THAT was a "holy shit" funenl. Nah, I'm glad you're getting a cypres - it's a no brainer decision. But you do need to spend more time on jumps that funnel! _Am __ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

OOOohhhh. Paula and Christina. I want video. _Am __ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

You go! I know about some of the comments from the people at your DZ, and all I can say is "mean people suck". it's surprising where it'll come from, sometimes. Don't let those piss-ants ruin YOUR day. This is got to be one of the coolest things I've heard. We're all proud of you. _Am __ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

I don't give my hotmail account out to anyone, cause I never use it. The only way they would've got it is if they had some 'bot' scaning webpages for email addresses, which is a pretty common practice AMONG PORN SITES... The 'bot probably picked up your hotmail account off your profile, just as it did for me. _Am __ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

Yahoo didn't filter mine, neither did hotmail, neither did my work email. They got all 3. There's very few things in this world I hate more then spam. ASC should know better. _Am __ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

I made my contribution the minute I heard about it. How could I not support lisa's boobies? I've DREAMED of supporting lisa's boobies... Aparently they're quite nice too. Here's hoping she gets to her goal, I wanna see for myself! _Am __ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

Not only can you, but you should. If you can't, there's some people who'd say you shouldn't be flying your current canopy. At the very least, you shouldn't even consider downsizing until you can: a: land downwind b: land crosswind c: hit a small target, ten times in a row. d: (debatably) land on rear risers. plus a few others. where's billvon when we need him? Personaly, I refuse to apply for my 'd' licence even though I have twice the jump numbers, until I can hit the 10 foot target on my stiletto at 1.6, 10 times in a row. I'm getting close. Before I screwed up my ankle I got to 8 in a row. _Am __ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

WooHoo! Gonna Getsum! (brownies, that is). Should I fake a limp so you still feel sorry for me? _Am __ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

Have you ever seen somebody die? I mean watched as somebody hooked too low, hit, and felt that sense of sorrow that even though medivac is on the way, it probably isn't going to help? Have you ever been standing in the middle of the landing area, and heard the sound of someone impacting 10 feet away? Well I have. It happened about four weeks ago, that sound has resonated in my head ever since. If you hang around this sport long enough, you'll see some pretty ugly things. What's different now then in the past, is that these ugly things are happening under perfectly good parachutes. People are screwing themselves up simply because of pilot error. The guy that hit 10 feet from me, he a pretty good canonpy pilot. Despite this, he was still in double fronts when he hit. The explanation, was that he thought someone was in his way, and brain locked instead of avoiding them. He's lucky, he'll live. He's got a broken back and a torn aeorta to deal with, though. I personally know a lot of the people that are telling you to reconsider. I know what their motivation is too, it's because they've already been to too many funerals, and seen too many broken backs, too many people FUCKED UP because they thought they could handle something, and when something small went wrong (like a guy standing in their way on the landing field), they did the COMPLETELY WRONG THING, and biffed in. I have no doubt you can land this canopy, hell, I have no doubt you could land a hell of a lot smaller canopy. I think I could too. What I don't believe, is that when something goes wrong, when you find yourself low, or with an obstacle, or with something just non-standard, that you'll be able to react properly in time to deal with it. If, and when that happens, I hope I'm not around to see it. _Am __ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

d'oh!. NEVER MIND.

I have my instructors rating in skiing, and I was on a racing circuit for 3 years. I also have my instrcutors rating in canoeing - but I don't think this is what you were looking for. I was into street rating (honda prelude) for a year or so when I was in Toronto. _Am __ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

Ummmm not even close. 6:44pm central, or 7:44pm eastern. You might have your offset backwards. _Am __ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

sorry... had to leave. I'm back now though! _Am __ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

yup, I use trillian, too. it does a half decent job at everything. I don't need to run 18 different programs, and can keep in touch with everyone. _Am __ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

Hello.... wednesday night anyone??? _Am __ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

It's on their website.... Since they designed the interface before IRDa ports and XML were common, they had to difine their own protocol, which isn't documented. From their faq at http://www.l-and-b.dk/asp/faq.asp?mode=Jumptrack _Am __ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

I'm with ya paula, RW girls all the way. But, if I can borrow from BillVon.... Girls who go both ways... like Country AND Western, Freeflying AND RW, now THAT's something to celebrate. _Am __ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

Just out of curiosity I emailed sony, and they recomended me taking it an authorized repair facility, and have them remove the strap so I don't void the waranty. Which isn't a problem, since I bought a third party waranty anyways. _Am __ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

Sunshine... that so sucks! I know what you're going through, except I'm always the guy hitting the other person.... lol I'm glad to hear you're ok. I saw the subject line and got scared.... that I wouldn't get my brownies. Nah, it sounds like you've had a rough day! Car accidents SUCK. _Am __ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

Why...? I thought you were showing up on thursday? _Am __ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

Well, there's now three Canadians living in the US on here. Myself, I'm from Toronto and living in Chicago working as a webgeek. GrumpySmurf is from Ottawa living in Chicago as a Sun hardware geek, I think. Welcome! Now get your ass to chicago! _Am __ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.
