  1. There is a lot bigger differences between sport and tandem rigs than the amount of "fabric above their heads". BASE 1384
  2. Have you tried the shake weight? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4S3C4AC908w BASE 1384
  3. Just smuggle a low profile rig under your shirt! Actually I doubt they let you anywhere near the roof without a harness and something to secure you. BASE 1384
  4. Open up BASE world......... BASE 1384
  5. Even so, do we really want new jumpers getting in the airplane with unpacked parachutes in plastic bags?? The best practice for NEW jumpers is a hanging harness, because it is the exact same procedure as you would do in the air. (Only my opinion of course.) BASE 1384
  6. Thats what I was thinking as well. He basically took a slider down deployment at terminal. Ouch! BASE 1384
  7. I dont think Paul was recommending that newly licensed jumpers should do this to practice their EPs. It really wouldnt help with that anyway, because the process is totally different. BASE 1384
  8. What size PC was it? You suck! You sold all of your gear for a one month subscription to a minority midget porn website again? BASE 1384
  9. I think he was just the cameraman here. Teigen is pretty amazing with cameras from everything I have seen. BASE 1384
  10. +1 (Just landed my one and only parachute a few minutes ago First slider up tower of the season!) To the people in the video: Thanks for the stories, and a really funny video! BASE 1384
  11. Meh. Hank Caylor did that in Denver years ago, but in the opposite direction. (One of my favorite segments from "the sharp end") BASE 1384
  12. You're right, I don't know him. My bad here. Anyway, I have a Micron on order and since this a very disturbing topic, should I be worried about this reserve PC problem (what exactly is the problem, doesn't the PC work properly, is it prone to extreme hesitation?), if I should, any solutions you peeps could suggest? You have a Micron on order? I know you meant an M series bc that would mean you are going to jump a small main and a small reserve with not many jumps? Dude, he can't be cool if it doesnt say micron on the side. BASE 1384
  13. Did it really go unnoticed? Or was it one of those "Something here doesnt look right, but i'm not going to open it and check" type deals Pretty neat that the camera rotated perfectly to see you in the beginning stages of reserve deployment. I gotta agree with what the others have said though about the camera. Just take the fucker off for a few more jumps. You would have cut away way faster if it wasnt on your head. BASE 1384
  14. Here you go. I call it the "Winkler mod" BASE 1384
  15. What the story doesn't say is that he was a P.D. washout turned detention officer, Arpaio's finest. A real Barney Fife. Altho I'm for the passage, I wouldn't carry one of my arms concealed unless I had a need. I don't have a CCW. A month ago I saw an idiot 20 YO kjid wearing a Ruger P85 (POS 9mm throw away) on his hip. We were in a grocery store. It made all uncomfortable. All it does is to draw police attention, criminals attention and make most feel, "why the fuck do you need it?" True, but that is open carrying, which I agree is a really bad idea. If everyone can see you are carrying a gun, it makes other people very nervous, and you become a target. I'm sure there are many people out there who could take a gun off my hip and kill me before I turn around. There is no reason to open carry out in public, leave that for the police. I much prefer that many people are carrying, but nobody knows who is. If the bad guys know who has a gun, it really takes away the best advantage that citizens have. BASE 1384
  16. +1 My experience sucked balls. I developed 2 dry sockets as well, which just prolonged the pain. BASE 1384
  17. I sure love this place. BASE 1384
  18. Please do this If Erin were smart she'd just CUT AWAY! Think you mean Elin BASE 1384
  19. Please do this BASE 1384
  20. Looking for some material? Thats the first I've seen of that ad. Kinda strange. Seems kinda like cashing in on your dads death. BASE 1384
  21. I have a couple buddies that live in Boulder City, which is pretty close to Vegas. I think they said they get a nice discount on their electric bill due to the Hoover Dam being in the city. BASE 1384
  22. what measuring method are you using to come up with 1200ft ? +1 1200 feet to open is a malfunction that happened to clear! BASE 1384
