  1. 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.

  2. maybe you should ask people in the knowing; like doctors, instructors.. and not the people from the internet. and maybe you shouldnt be so short-tempered, 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
  3. +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
  4. 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
  5. 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. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. right, there's this instructor friend of mine, she used to jump barefoot. she has now two artificial hip-joints at age 35. she broke bones in places i wouldnt want to mention. she doesnt jump barefoot anymore. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

  9. 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.

  10. 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. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
  11. 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
  12. 8 posts to invoke Palin Way to go billvon sarah palin is like superman; she can see RUSSIA. it's right THERE! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
  13. even if it didnt, it still be mm's, and that would STILL be double-digits; hopefully! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
  14. 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. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
  15. Really? Split an hour into three parts. Where's your "metric" time? here! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
  16. why dont you make a jump first!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
  17. 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. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
  18. 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. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
  19. Wrong forum. more boobies! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
  20. what an ugly bitch; if it was tila tequilas memoirs, i might read 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
  21. 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? asking questions when asked a question is poor form; or just shows you're not 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
  22. No, I'm not serious. I'm just pointing out that even by his screwed up logic he has nothing to complain about! ok, just had to make sure.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
  23. 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. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
  24. dude, u're asking a MODERATOR on dorkzone.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
  25. Yeah and where is our beer? And was she checking out my junk? I mean really! I am more than just a big head, thin shaft and small (blue) balls you know! there, fixed it for you. dont forget, with those qualities you only need a big enough wallet according to nataly.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
