Didn't need to see it. I have mad skillz behind the wheel of a car. Muff #5048

So I did my Muff Brother jump out a LP this year. It was a 17-way speed star (I was the base) and Mad John organized it perfectly. I will say that I'm not a huge fan of that combat RW shit (specially with stupid looking earmuffs on my head) but it worked. Fun times. Muff Brother-5048 Muff #5048

Or you can tell any random person that you'll give them five bucks if they let you use their phone. I also carry a pullup cord in the jumpsuit just in case I have to field pack and have a long way to walk to get to civilization. Muff #5048

Thats more like it. Muff #5048

I always keep a few bucks in my jumpsuit as well. Always nice to be able to make a phone call from a pulic phone if you need to. And no, I DO NOT jump with my $400 iPhone. I would rather carry $5 in $1's and a few quarters Muff #5048

So I just got 2 Vigil II's in and was looking at the serial #'s on them. The first one is 19999 and the other is 20001. Does Vigil keep the 20000th one? Just curious. Muff #5048

So heres a video of me and my brother flying canopies close to each other. Not really anything super cool, but fun to watch...... Unless you're my mom, then you'll just get sick. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvDXqi9NH1M Muff #5048

Yes, definitely a Mirage! The best rig out there! And just what, EXACTLY, sets a mirage a step ahead of say a Wings, Vector 3, or Icon? Muff #5048

To me it's pretty simple. Read, DO with supervision, do again without but have a check by the rigger. Ive assembled many mains to a set of risers then to the rig. I do a line check every time. I also have a rigger check my work. Assembling a main parachute to a set of risers and risers to a rig IMO is something any skydiver should be able to do. As far as PAYING someone to do it for you because YOU aren't certified to do it yourself, I say hogwash. I can do a brake job on my car and not be ASC certified, but that doesnt mean I dont know what I'm doing nor does it mean that I dont have an ASC guy in the shop check my work. My point is this guy is on the right path learning about his gear and wanting to do some minor work by himself then having it checked to make sure he did it right. Now, going back to the car analogy, I WILL NOT assemble or pack my reserve or install an AAD (though I will watch and ask questions). This would be like me not installing an airbag or other SRS on my car (again I will watch the mechanic do it). Everyone's mileage may vary, but I'm one that wants to know how to do the work and if possible do it myself. I also like to know how things work, which, for me is learned by seeing/doing the maintenance on the parts/rig components. Muff #5048

Dude, you're on dz.com. It's not like in those 2 minutes you were gonna cure cancer. I was actually on Youtube for those 2min 20sec. I easily could have been watching something WAY better. I demand reimbursment for the entertainment I could have had during that time. Muff #5048

I demand to be reimbursed for 2min 20sec of my life. Muff #5048

HEY! I resemble that remark. Muff #5048

Used to happen with my pilot 210. Doesnt happen at all on my Pilot 188. Possibly a higher wing loading inflates it more quickly. Either way it was never a problem. Couple pulls on the rear risers and they popped right out. I was kind of thinking the same thing here. I fly a Pilot 150 loaded up to about 1.35 and its never had closed endcells in the past 50 or so jumps Ive put on it. My Sabre2 170 on the other hand... Every time. Muff #5048

Just bumping this one for a worthy cause. Got to jump with John and Vallinda today and am so happy I was able to jump with them. Comon guys. Get some tickets. You may win some really cool stuff or at least a pretty huge discount on gear while helping research along for one of our own. John, V, GREAT time jumping with you guys. You're always welcome back here whenever you can make it out. Maybe next time we can get dinner.

Holy shitski. Am I the only one who pulled off a succesfull rodeo out there? Anyway, my contribution. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sy7KevpP23k Muff #5048

John remind me to buy some as well. I totally meant to at Prairie, but somehow completely forgot. Least Im not too late. BTW, I think you're going to recognise the plane when you get here. Muff #5048

Got 21 in at LP. Few wingsuit jumps, few of Mad John's bigways, couple ff jumps. Good times Muff #5048

They also do a segment on him in the video "Good Stuff". Muff #5048

7 More hours until my trip begins. Pretty darn excited. Muff #5048

You need a Vector Micron, Velocity 75, and a PD Optimum 99. That should be a perfect rig for you, but it might set you back over $5K. Muff #5048

They're here (see pics) on mine. See if you can find them in the same location on yours. Muff #5048

FAIL Muff #5048

Sorry about that. Ill close the 27 browsers I have open to that site. Muff #5048
