Similar experience to you Justin, but I was at fire fighting school. They have a smoke filled maze thing that you go into, real fires etc, but no BA. The longest snot contest leaves some pretty vivid images in my head....

legal age for starting skydiving in USA

"Where would we all be at if we had been able to start when we were that age?" In the Bankruptcy courts??? Seriously, where would the sport be? I think Charlie, Rook, Missy etc are great examples of what can be achieved if you start them young....Look at other sports that have high risk factors...say downhill skiing for example. There's no age limits that I'm aware of on the slopes....I 'm not advocating carte blanche that we allow kids to skydive, but I wonder what developments we would see if it were allowed? -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

"If I've screwed this up, my punishment wll be to calculate the level of perfection required in each participant in order to reach 50% probability of completing a 1000-way in under 100 attempts. " Nope your punishment will be explaining why there have been something like 100 (Anapa, Ubon Ratchatani, Chicago, and still counting at Eloy) attempts to build a 300 way already...... Statistical anomaly? Hehehe, statistical probability explained....its the million to one shot that shows up nine times out of ten.... -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

"obsessed with Christmas music and likes to play it while messing around " This guy, did he have like a long white beard, bright red underwear, drive a sleigh and say ho-ho-ho a lot?

"A sub-terminal static line opening is a scary thought on canopies like that, though. " Slam, spin, spin, Plus, who wants to s/l anyways? AND you'd have to wait for the plane to land before you can pack the thing, so no back to back loads doing hopnpops all day....AND the performance advantage is limited to those already squeezing everything out of their canopies, and even then it is minimal.....

Does the minimum age only apply to parachute training then, because I definitely saw Charlie having way too much fun for a 12 yo, at a USPA dz......Name witheld, cos it was a cool place that treated us well...But like I said, it was a while ago. -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

"Anyway the absolute minimum age nowadays in the U.S. is 16 with parental signiture" Ummm, I have a problem with the term 'legal', I recall a very young Mullins kid jumping at a USPA DZ in 94, when he was something like 12......And he had heaps of jumps, as you can expect when his dad owns such a bad ass jumpship. So what is the story there then? -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

Trent, I was going to suggest spamming the guy back....Entering his e-mail all over the place in the way that is likely to encourage spam. Registering at porn sites etc etc etc..... But the wee tale you posted was way funnier! Nice one my son, as we say in Wales.. Hope things are going well for you over there in Oklahoma.

Have you jumped your reserve?

Yeppers.... Previous reserve rides on Lopo 26 (2), phantom 24...ouch, Raven, and most recently a PDR 176 I was under a Lopo at 11 grand after an FXC misfired once.....eerie sensation. -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

Ian.... Is it a 1-way scart, does it have 3 or 6 leads with composite connections (connections the same as you get on the back of your stereo) if its a 3 lead scart does it have an in/out selector. Some scart leads are one way only, some are two way with selector switches, some are two way with 6 leads on the end.... If you can plug a TV into your vcr and see a picture, then the fault may lie with your camera. PM me with details of your set up and I'll try and help you out....
