  1. :5: 5 Wingsuit Beer owed for first PAC 750 XL jump. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  2. Safe planes, safe pilots, and cheap jumps! "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  3. Don't worry about the tab. Sure, you started it and put a dozen drinks on it but you don't have to pay it, you only have to leave a tip ... Sure, some guy built up a drunken tab at the bar and left without paying. But then we took his seat, they handed us the bill, and apparently - in a genius move to pay the tab, - we decided the best way to get it paid would be to buy a few rounds for the entire bar and the bars next door. That'll get it paid FASTER. I'm hopeful.......

  5. Yes. Also, having democracy doesn't mean there is individual liberty. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  6. Why should there be any tax benefits for married people or people with children? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  7. I don't think the government should be involved in marriages or civil unions. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  8. If you've met all the criteria than you have the license. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  9. One time a Master Rigger who has been at it longer than I have been alive told me that "true line dump will kill you". I do not know if that is an accurate statement but who am I to call bullshit on someone with such a great deal of knowledge and experience. I thought that line dump can lead to a hard opening which can lead to a broken neck, broken back, torn aorta, etc... which can kill you. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I should add that getting line dump before line stretch isn't what can kill you (although it can lead to a malfunction). What can kill you is getting line dump and canopy inflation before line stretch ... once again, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  10. Are you really surprised that our government is bowing down (and kissing up) to foreigners when our government and economy are supported by foreign investments and oil? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  11. If James offspring do have superhuman abilities can I have some of their stem cells? I promise to use them for good and not evil ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  12. you just like any exit where you can pretend your sitting side saddle on a pony while wearing a dress "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  13. Thanks, I'll keep that one in mind for any new wingsuiters this summer. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

  15. I'm not sure if I should be ashamed or proud of how fast I derailed this thread ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  16. Dynamic Corners "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  17. I'm unfamiliar with a sitting student exit (I was never a "student"). Can you please explain? PS: I always do inside exits on solo jumps so that the pilot knows when I've left. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  18. This is my concern. With the limited number of wingsuiters we don't need to do outside exits but it would be nice to do outside exits on occasion (at least front float). "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  19. We have a PAC750XL instead of a Twin Otter this summer and I'm wondering what the thoughts are on outside exits. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  20. That's probably the weakest form of gliding and can barely if not at all be categorized as gliding... I've met some trackers that could give some wingsuiters a run for their money. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  21. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  22. People with wingsuits - glide, people without - fall. What about trackers? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  23. Our scientists don't agree. Anyways, I've grown tired of this discussion. Feel free to go back to your home under the bridge ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  24. We're never going to agree on whether we're falling, gliding, or flying. Does it matter? Not really as long as we're all having fun! PS: I'm just excited that the season starts this weekend! Time to go . "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  25. like a giant olive, mmmmmm yes, like a giant olive - but with lots and lots of little children and babies living on it
