  2. good thoughts there... my problem wasn't that it was too tight, it was just much tighter than i had expected. this was my first boc jump and i had done a bunch of practice pulls on the ground to make sure i could find the handle. it just required a harder pull than the belly band pocket. no problems after the first, i knew what to expect.

  3. 'try once' try twice' go for silver' is the mantra taught to first jumpers at our dz. on saturday, my first jump of the year and first ever jump with boc deplyment, i had a harder than expected pull. all of our student rigs had been converted from belly band to boc over the winter, as a result, the pockets are still quite tight. i rached, grabbed and pulled as usual, but my hand slipped off the handle. i reached again, found the ball and pulled harder. it came out fine, but as the canopy opened, i noticed my left hand was already on the reserve handle! muscle memory is a good thing.

  4. i never jumped anything but a 182, and i did the full pff course out of it last summer. they are fun, and like others have siad, you get to spend quality time with 3 (or 4) of your new best friends on the way to altitude. we go to 10.5 most of the time, but 12's are done if conditions permit. (meaning if the dzo is on the load!). we have a pretty solid line on an otter for july, if it comes through, it will be the first (beer!) time an otter has flown skydivers in the maritimes. i'm scared half to death (but really looking forward to) jumping a big turbine for the first time!

  5. :3:? woohoo! opening weekend at skydive moncton and the weather couldn't have been better! up until thursday it was cold and rainy for two weeks straight. friday dawned bright, cloudfree, low winds and it stayed that way all weekend! unheard of in these parts. it was a long weekend for us so we were jumping right up until sunset last night. not sure about firsts though, i did my first jump on my shiny new solo certificate, did a jump with video to try my a lic. style series but fell like a rock, video guy had to stand to try to catch me and just went by me as i opened. call me anvilboy i guess!

  6. there once was a jumper named bunky, who flopped around in the air like a monkey. he'd chip and he'd slide, always getting a wild ride. as a result his openings could get funky. "Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart." MB4252 TDS699 killing threads since 2001
  7. the season is finally here in the eastern part of the great white north, skydive moncton opens for the season tomorrow. our plane should have arrived from la belle province this afternoon, ready to jump tonight! i get to go try out my shiny new solo certificate tomorrow! wooohooo!

    i think that during your starup phase, where you increased your press, but not your weight, you lost fat and gained muscle in equal amounts. once you leaned out as much as you were going to, you continued to gain muscle, which would account for the weight gain.

  15. Hello, my name is Carl and I suffer from the guilt of not forwarding 50 billion fucking chain letters sent to me by people who actually believe that if you send them on, a poor 6-year-old girl in Arkansas with a breast on her forehead will be able to raise enough money to have it removed before her redneck parents sell her to a traveling freak show. Do you honestly believe that Bill Gates is going to give you, and everyone to whom you send "his" email, $1000? How stupid are we? "Ooooh, looky here! If I scroll down this page and make a wish, I'll get laid by every good looking model in the magazine!" What a bunch of bullshit. Basically, this message is a big KISS MY ROSEY RED ASS to all the people out there who have nothing better to do than to send me stupid chain mail forwards. Maybe the evil chain letter leprechauns will come into my house and sodomize me in my sleep for not continuing a chain that was started by Peter in 5 AD and brought to this country by midget pilgrims on the Mayflower. Fuck them. If you're going to forward something, at least send me something mildly amusing. I've seen all the "send this to 10 of your closest friends, and this poor, wretched excuse for a human being will somehow receive a nickel from some omniscient being" forwarded about 900 times!! I don't fucking care. Show a little intelligence and think about what you're actually contributing to by sending out these forwards. Chances are, it's your own unpopularity. The point being? If you get some chain letter that's threatening to leave you shagless or luckless for the rest of your life, delete it. If it's funny, send it on. Don't piss people off by making them feel guilty about a leper in Botswana with no teeth who has been tied to a dead elephant for 27 years and whose only salvation is the 5 cents per letter he'll receive if you forward this email. Now forward this to everyone you know. Otherwise, tomorrow morning your underwear will turn carnivorous and will consume your genitals or genitallia.

  16. i posted pretty much the same poll about a year ago. it was on the last version of the site so the poll is broken now, but i found that a more interesting question was 'who has moved to be closer to a dz?"
  17. arcade: robotron 2084 (never was any good at it, but couldn't stop playing!) old school console: river raid on atari 2600 (used to get blisters on my thumb.) genx console: zelda - wind waker on gamecube. (i bought it for the kids, but it sucks you right in!) computer: abe's oddesy or age of mythology. (love abe!) web: currently crash on gameblast, used to be whatword on the zone.

  18. our dz used pullouts for iad (with the pilot chute in a left hand pocket on the side of the container) and pff (with the pilot chute on the belly band). this year they are converting all student gear to boc for a couple of reasons already mentioned... there would be no transition period for students getting their own gear (which would likely have boc depolyment) and a boc encourages a good arch, as opposed to a belly band throwout..

  23. i think so, but it ain't a shotgun, it's a rifle. there's a ton of them on there. flew right out of one guy's hands! they usually just stand there and laugh afterwards, but it's gotta hurt..

  25. an insturctor on a course i took last week showed me this site. i'm not a hunter or a gun owner but i found it funny nonetheless. apparently there's a bunch of guys in the middle east somewhere with too much time and money, so they bought themselves a gunsmith's lathe and started making custom rifles. they came up with some dandies. the best stuff on the site (accurate reloading) is the video page. check out anything with t-rex in the title. the t-rex is a .577 calbre rifle that packs a pretty mean punch. if that isn't enough, they built another one that's a .700 calibre. they're nuts!
