  1. you got so dirty thoughts, i like 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
  2. no, i deleted it myself.. “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. so you can start wingsuiting and videoflying once you blow your 3rd candle .. that's next summer ? me thinks in the thread you related, that many people come to skydiving with a couple of goals, which are what they saw on videos... Wingsuiting, BASE jumping etc... but don't realise all the efforts you have to put before even starting to think about having the tenth of the skillz of starting such disciplines. you're absolutely right, some havent even made a first jump, so.. one can only hope they'll be scared so much out of their mind that they pick up collecting stamps instead.. i fear, i must admit, i've been rushing with things in the past, and maybe i still am, but some things take longer to realize; there's this good saying "you dont know what you dont know"! and predicting someone's gonna die will not help the "stoopid n00b"! so, actually putting a time- and jumplimit which would need to be enforced in place seems to be a better way than just saying you need X amount of jumps to do this.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

  4. i thought it was funny and true in some way.. someone else didnt agree, so.. “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. Numbers + Time + Skillz for the time, I'd say 3 years minimum i'm in my 3rd year, so shut up.. “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. [conehead-voice] ya, just flare when it beeps, no matter what! and how about a proxyalarm!? maybe someone should invent a gps-based autoflight-mode, you know, skydiving's all about freefall and stuff.. and soccer-moms! dont forget soccer-moms! i got no game, but with skydiving, i'm sure i can score soccer-moms!

  9. jesus, what country is that!? i pay that amount for pretty much every value.. its called "simplified import" or whatever.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
  10. i paid something like 30$ for customs/taxes.. not such a big deal! jenn's a real darling!
  11. in all fairness, a healthcare system can only go bankrupt if it exists in the first place, for a majority of people that is, not only a fifth.. “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. drop jenn@alti-2.com a mail, she'll be glad to get one to you..
  13. Another helpful reply from JohnRich, gold star! I flat pack it and that way i can arrange the tail in such a way that once the canopy is laid out i can simply grab the top of the "brake" line (thats for John) and push it further up into the canopy giving it tension. Sure there is a way to pro pack it like that but never tried. Its a parachute though, its probably gonna work. Sabre = flake it well, roll the nose, roll the tail. Lots. just stuff the nose, roll the tail, roll the stabilizers, make damn sure your slider is quartered, all the way up and pull the nose side maybe an inch or two out.. -sabre-survivor for nearly 200 jumps- “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

  14. fancy-prancy, looks like you're up and over the hill, maybe you should get your ass to the dz and get some jumps in! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
