And just *when* did she hit the public eye? Oh, yes...during the campaign, when she was already pregnant. That one doesn't pass the 'sniff test', Chuck. She's telling other kids "don't make the mistakes I did" - sounds like a pretty good example to me. it's always easier to ask for forgiveness than.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

yes-yes, you can! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

PD website says Velocity is fine down to a wingloading of 1:1. I still don't believe they would let me demo one at my jump numbers. some say that crossfires only really start kicking ass @1.8+, and it doesnt make really sense flying one before. some say that's not true. i tend to believe the first group if that matters. so i kinda assumed since a velo is xbraced, same sort of thinking would apply. @dragon: at 1:1, that would make a nice student-canopy! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

the Vengeance 120 is no longer available for demo. V = Velocity besides that, does a velo at roughly 1.6 even make sense? does PD recommend that? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

i'm a big fan of icarus/nzaerosports.. i've had a "dealer problem", and when i called them guys up to clarify things with them directly, i wasnt halfway through telling my color-pattern and he knew my 2nd name (only gave my first name when i called). "you will have your canopy very soon!", and voilà, two weeks later the courier was at my door..

from what i've heard, about five of 2008/9 national championships speedriders are dead by now. yes, it's that dangerous. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

i dont doubt it would be a blast, further up i posted a link to an answer that was posted very recently that seems to fit well in this thread. talking about tertiary rigs (?) and problems associated with those, with real-live anectotes of a testjumper. needs a cool-headed motherfucker to deal with them. then mixing that up with a 90 velo.. mhm, you dont think that's a good idea either. i'm not the poster-boy for what is considered a "safe" progression on here too, but even i think that katanas should be left alone until someone has something like 400 jumps minimum, and that's a dedicated canopy-pilot. then the dude comes up with his plan on flying a velo? my toe-nails are curling up.. where i jump, it's pretty much banged into your head from day one on, you're licensed, do what you want, just know what you are getting yourself into. and if you want to do something, i better tell you HOW to do it, because you will end up doing it anyway, and if you fuck up, i might feel bad for NOT having told you how to pull it off safely. i'm all for that. but, again, flying a katana at 200 jumps, bad idea, continuing with a velo at that number of jumps, well, worse idea. and to keep ranting, another relatively recent thread about back-risers on landing.. i was being told to leave those alone for a LONG time. not much you cant do with toggles only, but oh-so-many-more chances to end your day badly adding them. but hey, that's just what i was told.. @d100965: foxy looks like a fun bitch to play with, can i have one!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

my reply [url http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=4072043#4072043]here, first line. flying a katana at 200 jumps.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

looks like somebody posted coincidentally about the same question under a different username. really, must be coincidence! good answer there: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=4070974#4070974 “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

that's pretty cool!

what about 50!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

Then why are only SOME of the units base 10? Where is your base 10 watch? Where is your base 10 calendar? Where is your base 10 compass? What -exactly- makes base 10 so special? Why not binary? Time is based on the mathematic properties of physics and geometry. As is direction. Calendars are based on solar cycles and other astronomical observable properties. NEITHER of these are metric or imperial. It seems you are trying try distract from your leaking theory by citing an irrelevant conclusion. (red herring argument). @quade: further up i gave you perfect examples of calendar and time in METRICS. you just ignored them. other than that, calvin is right.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

doesnt upset me; i just think you're full of shit. but what does upset me is that there are people on here that seem to be supportive of your idea, encouraging even. people known to be "canopy nazis"; but whatever floats your (big) boat.. remember: breathe, relax, smile; and dont die! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

k... and you come to this forum to ask about it, why!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

so u're just lending or renting it!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

docpop can do anything; just because he is AWESOME! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

True, but a person with 1765 jumps would be a more reliable choice than someone with 1765 previous partners. dude, whatever you may think about your girl, someone, sonewhere, is sick and tired of her shit already! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

that's an offer i almost cant refuse! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

I only have 2 locking stows. Gotta love freestowing! havent gotten around to get an mpod yet.. Me either, I got the UPT one. they still have locking-stows.. i'd rather get one without some at all.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not.

Someone who has held 1765 different jobs in their career isn't going to understand much about holding down a job. but they'll understand a hell of a lot of GETTING one! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

great advice, and if she let's up a tad too much, she'll smack right into the ground and can be happy if a sprained ankle is her biggest problem after that.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

funny commercial! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

That's called 'walking the bag', great if ya can do it...us big ole fat guys with bad knees don't mind buying a new drag mat every decade or so! i only do the locking-stows, then walk back to the rig where i stow the rest.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

Um, fucking literally thousands of guys? ...I thought that would be obvious. What she does not look any less pretty? It was her JOB, get over it. I'll make this very easy: There are two beautiful women who are perfect matches for you, but one has had sex with 1765 men, 25 of which were at the same time. The other is a virgin...who do you pick? It's similar to choosing between two perfect candidates for a job, but one doesn't have that college degree. the one I got along with the best regardless of how many guys she admitted to having sex with. Virgins are really overrated and can be really boring. +1 and the other girl may teach even an old dog some new tricks.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
