UPT Vector 3 M-series Question
virgin-burner replied to BlunderHog's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
ok, you didnt take my "good" advice; how about "buy a parachute with a really, really small number, like 69, preferably one that says "velocity" on it's side. then go to the dz, say you want to jump this. then report back to us!" “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

+1, although I know a guy with 40 jumps and 4 cutaways j. well, in some cases, skydiving may just not be for you! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

Getting stable after cut away - Altitude?
virgin-burner replied to hcsvader's topic in Safety and Training
usually open at 800-900 meters.. “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've had 3 too, all with RSL on. Out of those events, I choose not to use it anymore. Get it, different experience - different point of view. It's nothing more than personal preference which comes out of personal experience. I see no system that prevails in judgement 'what's right'. maybe you guys should start a support-group; or take a packing-class together. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

Wearing Vibram Five Fingers while Skydiving?
virgin-burner replied to hokierower's topic in Gear and Rigging
boobie bones ?? are all these broken bones due to barefoot jumping ? that's the story i got; you know her too! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda -
you had 3 reserve-rides in 187 jumps!? i dont think your main-problem lies in wether having an RSL or not.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

Germans illegally own 20 million small arms
virgin-burner replied to JohnRich's topic in Speakers Corner
Nice diversion to a third world comparison, or one where the firearms owners overwhelmingly have prior military training. Thanks for proving yet again that it's cultural issues and not guns. You mean you're FINALLY going to make one, after all these years? So you think the USA is socially more similar to Jamaica than to Germany. Interesting. It was not I who started the Germany/USA comparison. The OP was about Germany and DaVinci brought up the USA. You brought in the extraneous and irrelevant extras. Even your precious Switzerland doesn't permit unlicensed people to carry weapons except under special certain circumstances such as travel to military training. Owners are legally responsible for third party access and usage of their weapons. Licensing IS REQUIRED. for switzerland, that is not really true. yes, you can carry your gun to or from the range, or to or from military service. but it's got to be visibly unloaded and you're not supposed to have ANY ammunition on you. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

Once again proving the inadequacy of the metric system!
virgin-burner replied to quade's topic in Speakers Corner
Quick! How many litres is 13.3kg of gasoline? The point here being, unless you're talking about pure water at a specific temperature and pressure, your argument falls to pieces. wouldnt matter about about gasoline either then, right!? as the volume would also change with pressure and temparature... “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

I have to buy beer for The Farm. Help!
virgin-burner replied to Divalent's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Absolutely! If you don't go through the ceremony, you don't get to pour...ever! that brings up the "chicken or the egg"-question.. your logic is flawed! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda -

virgin-burner replied to quade's topic in Speakers Corner
Really? Split an hour into three parts. Where's your "metric" time? here! Yeah, I can see that's really catching on. Where's your "metric" calendar? you havent read the article, right!? here's your metric calendar! oh yea, of course, it's french, cant be good right!? pretty much catches on like your imperial system, doesnt it!? that's why pretty much all countries except the US and england are still using the imperial system.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

Germans illegally own 20 million small arms
virgin-burner replied to JohnRich's topic in Speakers Corner
Nonsense... It shows gun laws do not work. What is the firearms homicide rate/100,000 in Germany, and what is it in the USA? What is the firearms homicide rate/100,000 in Switzerland, and what is it in the USA? What is the firearms homicide rate/100,000 in Jamaica, and what is it in the USA? Nice diversion to a third world comparison, or one where the firearms owners overwhelmingly have prior military training. Now, back to a RELEVANT comparison... u're not trying to say switzerland was a 3rd world country, right!? tough the majority (of males) may have prior military training.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

virgin-burner replied to quade's topic in Speakers Corner
Are you saying that the Imperial system doesn't use fractions and the metric system does? fractions, yea, right, wasnt it you with something like 2.4 inches!? so, that's 2*25.4mm, but how much is 0.4 inches!? 4*2.54!? if i do a calculation, i do it in metric numbers. not a third of this and half of that really.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

Renting, not buying; They always want it back when you're done with it. you're right of course, i meant buying, as buying a slot or time.. maybe slot is the term better fitted. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.
