  1. The kind that go bang. But seriously, I belive they are some form of artillery shell designed to detonate at some predetermined agl. Muff #5048
  2. Thats actually got me wondering. On a standard non-collapsible PC I would say that is definately true, but what about a collapsible one? What I mean is, on a collapsible PC it exerts force until the canopy comes out of the bag at which point it immediately collapses because the kill line allows it to. So I wonder does it actually put sizably more force on the attachment during deployment than in flight (the PC I mean)? Not that it really matters at all. People have been jumping gear like this for quite a while without too many issues. I'm just one of those guys who likes to understand the physics of things, and forces involved. Muff #5048
  3. I have velcro-stowed toggle's! And I agree that as long as you're diligent with your packing and setting the brakes then they are no problem at all (Ive never had one). Muff #5048
  4. Anyone doing CRW What's the reasoning behind it? Muff #5048
  5. Who would want a non-collapsible PC? It was my understanding that the drag from the inflated PC will likely cause more damage to the attachment point than anything else while the canopy is in full flight. I can understand someone who buy's used gear may encounter a non-collapsible PC (or maybe even a spring loaded rip-cord style), but that can be modded on most (if not all) of the rigs Ive seen. And a brand new kill line PC is only like $100 from paragear. Muff #5048

  7. I was under the impression that his NEW name was Pink Mike. At least that's what was burned in the ground at Z-Hills when I last was there. Muff #5048
  8. Im sure that some parts would. They would likely, though, be the times I was drunker than shit so watching that movie would be news to me. Muff #5048
  9. I would be happy to. Unfortunately they wont let me take the entire day of Friday off, but I will be heading down that way around noon. When do you need to be picked up? Edit- I think Brad lives in St George you might try looking him up if I'm unable to help. Muff #5048
  10. Fuckin-a man. See I told you what comes around goes around. Muff #5048
  11. Well since he gave me the rig too a mat is warranted. Muff #5048

  13. This guy claims to have maintained level flight in a WS for 30sec with jet engine assistance. That beggs the question, could he have actually climbed? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eS2rjcVcaqQ Muff #5048
  14. ***I usually walk away with a few more dollars than I started with and a few free drinks. [url] Statistically its cheaper to buy your drinks at the bar (personal experience). I do admit that if you bet on the "no pass" bar on the craps table you DO actually have a chance at making something. Odds are always on the house though. BTW, I no longer believe in "Hot Rollers". I think the dice are weighed to give an advantage or disadvantage depending. Muff #5048
  15. Would it be possible to use a mercury barrometer as an altimeter with any degree of accuracy? Yup I'm bored. Muff #5048
  16. Yup, you're married!!! Ain't that the truth. Now I remember my theme song... "It's the same old ball and chain" by one of the heavy metal bands, can't remember which one. Social D perhaps? Muff #5048
  17. I like to do many curls with a 12oz can. And whats even better, the more reps I do the lighter the can gets. Muff #5048
  18. That's complete horseshit unless you think you have such insightful and inflammatory comments to make that you could actually affect the good order and discipline of the armed forces, or bring discredit upon the service. Sorry, just sounds a bit "drama queen" to this old chief. Whatever you think "Chief". Muff #5048
  19. You're high again are'nt you? No biggie, I'm inebriated. Muff #5048
  20. As an active mil member I cannot give you my truthfull response to this question. Muff #5048
  21. And I want another liver but its just not in the cards now is it? Muff #5048
  22. Ah. Ill be sure to wear one. I usually hang out at the bar when I'm at casino's due to the $1.50 beers. I cant see giving away good jump money though under the false hope of gaining more. Muff #5048
  23. Unfortunately that isnt the direction I'm going. Now if, say, you lived between Ogden and Mesquite I would be more than happy to ablidge. Due to the AAA/HC inspection next week it doesnt look like Ill get down there until Friday night sometime. If anyone is going to hang out that night please let me know. Alcohol serving establishments just love a bunch of skyivers drinking in one place. Muff #5048
