A few ideas: - Coke - Galliano - orange juice - ice - lime-aid SCR #14809 "our attitude is the thing most capable of keeping us safe" (look, grab, look, grab, peel, punch, punch, arch)

Was that someone freaking out at the door near the end? Hard to tell what the person was saying. Good video Lee. - David

Pulling cut-away cables fully out of the housings
denete replied to denete's topic in Safety and Training
? ? I'll rephrase the question a little bit: Do you (and I mean literally YOU, not me) pull to a full arm extension, or do you pull to a full arm extension and then grab the cables and keep pulling at them until they are all the way out of the housings? -
How many lines breaking/snapping would cause you to cutaway

I know what I was taught...and I aint sayin. SCR #14809 "our attitude is the thing most capable of keeping us safe" (look, grab, look, grab, peel, punch, punch, arch) -
Pulling cut-away cables fully out of the housings
denete replied to denete's topic in Safety and Training
A while back, a skydiver at the dropzone was recounting his cutaway experience. He mentioned that some people don't pull the cables all the way out of the housings, but that he was sure to pull them all the way out. With a dual system, is there any advantage to pulling the cables fully out of the housings? I would assume that pulling them fully out would happen after reserve deployment, and that it isn't something to worry about while trying to provide a stable platform for reserve deployment. What do you do? -

Yeah, a very good tune. Nah FlyinDawg, that was more of a Sublime commentary on Andy's mornings. But I did hear it on one of the planes oddly enough...and then Justin wouldn't stop singing it.

As heard over the PA on some jump plane not too long ago... "Early in the morning, risin' to the street Light me up that cigarette and I strap shoes on my feet Got to find a reason, a reason things went wrong Got to find a reason why my money's all gone I got a dalmation, and I can still get high I can play the guitar like a mother fucking riot ...

If you like doing airfoil simulations (especially to see how your favorites work at low Reynolds numbers), you should try xfoil from Dr. Mark Drela at MIT. http://web.mit.edu/drela/Public/web/xfoil/

Time to find a 10.5 sqft canopy. Congrats guys!

What's funny? I need a good joke. Douva's video to Myspace. The one-car garage was my favorite bit.

You guys have a blast. I HATE that I wont be there (stoopid gig in Pittsburgh). Break the deck in (not literally) so I'll have a place to flounder next weekend. [Heck, with the twin otter, I could finish my A in a day...right? Maybe if I cut out all of the pre-jump and post-jump meditation.] - David -

I am sad to say that I no longer have the largest Deck on the DZ. I now have to learn to deal with Deck envy. What is it with you guys always going around whipping out your decks to compare size? -
Brian Germain's Book: Canopy and its Pilot
denete replied to hackish's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
You're right about the calm being "catchy". You would have to ask other people who've seen me at the farm about whether I'm generally relaxed or not. I like being that way (mellow), and it makes the "highs" even bigger (for me at least). I read "Transcending Fear" first, and "The Parachute and Its Pilot" second. Because I had already read TF, it made the later part of TPAIP pretty disappointing. Not that the information was the same, but because the delivery was kind of blah in comparison to TF. I did like the segment on visualization, and I've always been a huge proponent of this technique for practicing anything out of context. The segment on teaching was also good to read. Brian has some good analogies, and definitely presents information in enough ways to get through to almost any reader. - David
