haha, how rare is 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

depending on how old, that's not too bad a question! i gave a lecture in french classes this year, when one of the other teachers knew about it, their class joined too. brought the gear including a wingsuit and showed a couple videos. out of planned 20 minutes became like an hour and a half. let them hold and touch the gear, did a little packing-class. everyone was amazed and fascinated. not many have seen or really heard much about the sport, except the one or two tandems. some pretty standard and not-so-standard questions. it was fun and good!

Avaicom stops production of Argus for sport market
virgin-burner replied to PhreeZone's topic in Gear and Rigging
Are they all like a cypres, where it takes turning it off and on again to make it run through the initial self check is required to test the cutter continuity (test for a fired cutter)? Doing that every jump is perhaps a good idea with no downside. well, isnt the whole idea of an AAD to "turn it on and forget"!? might be a naive question, and maybe a bit of a biased one, since i jump a different product and feel quite safe in doing so; one of the reasons being it's mandatory 4yrs check. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

It's amazing the things planes can do. I once saw one take off AND land on the same strip of solid pavement. Quite impressive. ha. ha. have you noticed his "wobbling", too!? quite impressive.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not.

Can we have a recap on the thread so I can see what I missed? It wasn't a thread so much as an assault. rocco went and bumped a bunch of Funks threads with a one line reply usually something like "Oh really?" or "Tell me more" 23 or 24 times. The whole front page disappeared. It lasted an hour or two, fun while it lasted, but you kinda had to be there. I think it was inspired by you or DBCooper. here i am, complaining it's slow, and then i miss all the good shit; life's unfair sometimes! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

Ya, and wtf does blaming the victim and laughing at their death say about you? maybe he should of just shut the fuck up and sit down instead of waving his mickey mouse book around and he'd still be alive!? doesnt take an MBA to know that.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

Someone named Rocco revived dozens of old "sex" threads by Funks. The moderators pushed them all into the recycle bin. Rocco must now be sitting in a corner wearing a dunce cap.

stabbing like that out of the corner will bite him eventually YOU try to beat that into his stubborn skull - mccordia, myself AND others have done our part; and we're sick and tired of it. we just hope he wont turn into someone.. I am just now responding because honestly that flying sucks and it pissed me off to watch. Keep stabbing it out and one day you will be in the corner too deep and not be able to pull that off and that is when you will shit yourself. you dont mean me now, do you!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.
