  1. what a weird community this is. a goof thread turns serious, and serious thread go straight sideways into fuckery.
  2. in the middle of the 'O' on the runway at skydive chicago. also, in the back seat of a 25th aniversary edition thunderbird (1980?)... while it was in the showroom. after hours, i had a key, i was working as a janitor in high school.

  3. javelins (generally) have 3 canopies that will fit in them (as per sunpath). if it says it will take a 170, that means it will take a 190 (but be a bit tight), a 170 (just right) or a 150 (a little loose) a 135 would be too small.

  4. that came back as a hoax / viral ad for something else. nice renders though! "Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart." MB4252 TDS699 killing threads since 2001
  5. if you start with picture 3 and work back to picture 1, it looks pretty much like the packing instructions in the sunpath manual. not really dangerous, just kinda messy looking. i was shown a couple of tricks to deal with it, but it can be tricky to get everything to stay put.

  7. paint it? that would be expensive. nope, no bluetooth headset, but the lease is up on the bimmer and i've ordered a new mini clubman with integrated bluetooth, does that count? "Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart." MB4252 TDS699 killing threads since 2001
  8. so what about people who drive a bmw because it is a well-built, well-engineered, reliable, fun to drive and efficient car, and don't give a flying fuck if it impresses people or not? yes, i'm talking about me and my '06 325i. and my gear matches too.

  9. the only person who ever had everything done by Friday was Robinson Crusoe. "Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart." MB4252 TDS699 killing threads since 2001
  10. at the risk of sounding stupid (i'm used to it), what is a terminal lake? "Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart." MB4252 TDS699 killing threads since 2001
  11. like others have said, if you're buying all new gear, it doesn't cost any more to make it match. my stuff (rig, main, jumpsuit and free-fly pants) was all ordered new and all are red, white and black. i get called a 'gear fag' but who cares? i bought it for me, not them.

  12. i say wendy wins. i stole half of my solution. "Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart." MB4252 TDS699 killing threads since 2001
  13. how about using the monkey fist to knock the keys off the tape, chew up the gum, stick it to the monkey fist, use that to pick up the keys. unlock the shackles, pick up the dynamite and matches, unlock the door, then go find the prick that put you there and shove the lit dynamite up his ass.

  14. wave at them. then they know they aren't invisible. "Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart." MB4252 TDS699 killing threads since 2001
  15. so where's version 2, come on will! "Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart." MB4252 TDS699 killing threads since 2001
  16. ....and inspecting everything. that's the part i find takes the longest. "Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart." MB4252 TDS699 killing threads since 2001
  17. no love for Terminal Velocity? dumb plot but more or less believeable skydiving sequences, some funny bits too. at least i thought so, ymmv. "Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart." MB4252 TDS699 killing threads since 2001
  18. nice design will! we were looking at serge's new camera last night, and it looks like you have the locating pin and the mounting hole reversed. but more importantly, what colours will it come in? it has to match.

  19. if you have an iphone (or touch) and an airport express you can stream music wirelessly from your computer to the amp, and use your iphone/touch to control it. not the cheapest, but probably the geekiest way to do it. yes, i have this setup.

  20. i got my lotus with the course discount, $1500. that put it just over a pilot and just under a sabre2 (dealer prices) at the time. it would be almost double that to replace it! "Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart." MB4252 TDS699 killing threads since 2001
  21. this is true. $2800 is a lot of money, but i wonder what the actual street price would be. i haven't talked to any dealers, because i'm at least a year away from a new canopy. "Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart." MB4252 TDS699 killing threads since 2001
  22. thanks! i have a lotus (built by pd) and was considering a same-sized samurai for my next canopy. having it made of low-bulk fabric would justify a smaller rig. "Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart." MB4252 TDS699 killing threads since 2001
  23. i posted this over in gear and rigging, but got steered to this thread. does anyone know if aerodyne will be building the lotus and samurai as well? "Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart." MB4252 TDS699 killing threads since 2001
  24. probably this one. "Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart." MB4252 TDS699 killing threads since 2001
  25. so, aerodyne is building the sensei, pd is no longer building the lotus or samurai. 1. is aerodyne going to build the lotus and samurai as well? 2. if so, will they be using their new low-bulk honeycomb fabric to make them?
