I was on a load yesterday where a guy jumped a paracommander that was last jumped in 1975. No WDI and he damn near landed in the DZ's PRO circle. They had pictures of the gear at the 1975 Nationals in Muskogee, OK and Smitty the Jumper was in the middle of the picture wearing an Evil Kenevil style jumpsuit. Pretty bad ass in my book. They exited at 7k and I went on up to 10k and told the pilot to give me the exact jump run as a guy on a 24 round makes the perfect WDI. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude.

Venturi effect. Wander over to the physics building and look for the fluid dynamics lab or ask a jump pilot about it. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough. That's fucked up. Watermelons do not grow on trees! ~Skymama

I go poised of the 182 all the time though I prefer to hang when flying a 4-way. So the way I was "taught" to go off the setp is: Lightly rest hands on the strut and get all the way outboard on the step. Dangle your right foot off step. I give a count with my right leg (aft, forward, aft) and on that third movement with my right leg swinging backward, I sort of hop off the step with my left leg. (Dont hop up, hop off) Dont push out with the arms but release the aircraft and let it fly away from you. Then you have to fly the relative wind that is comming from your front (the prop) until you get off the hill. The attached pic is from a jump where I was poised and he's hanging taken at exit. You should look just like this after you come off the step and onto the hill. He's relaxed, arching and flying the relative wind which is comming from the prop or the left side of the picture. Both hands are up like he's flying belly to earth but he's flying the wind comming into his chest. So he's just really floating but delaying the transition to the belly to earth position. Notice the chin is up and he's focused forward at the line of flight. I initially had some trouble with all of this because I was kicking both legs out which put me face to earth quickly. You don't want to do this. You want to let the aircraft fly away and you fly the hill so you sort of slide down it backwards, if that makes sense. Hope this helps you. edit to include boilerplate phraseology about "never seeing you in an aeroplane much less poised outside said craft and I'm not an instructior so you should find one at your DZ to run the above by first. Skydiving is a dangerous activity and should only be done by those with proper training who wear tinfoil caps...blah, blah, blah." It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude.

1. How could JJ say he did not know the mike was on when he was sitting in a TV studio, the sole purpose of such place is to RECORD shit for posterity. 2. Not many Reverends I know use such language when talking about other people. Oh, JJ is self-appointed, my bad. 3. He's pissed because "there's a black man stealing my show!"

Now that answer is so much better than the standard B.S. of "I've never seen your life skills in action so you should consult your instructor". There actually is valuable info here occasionally.

I just jump in those $5 black water sock things from SuperChina*Mart. They don't have any snag points and have a hard sole but allow me to feel the air on my feet. If they tear up, so what just get some more. If you're into the cool-factor thing - you can say they're ninja. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude.

The tweaking meth mite crowds are stealing all of the metal they can and selling I guess to unscrupulous scrap yards so there may be some value there. Or you could shortcut the process and leave it running near a "known area" and then call the insurance agent with "it was there when I left it". But if you do that, you didn't hear it here man. A Tahoe is probably chock full o' scarce natural resources. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough. That's fucked up.

4:0:0 Nix, nada, bupkiss. Freakin' Kansas weather. Forcast said Peggs boogie probably was not going to fly and I just couldn't see driving 2 hours at almost $5/gal just to shake hands with Jimmy Coiner--Midwest FF Legend. Nothing against Mr. Coiner but bowling just ain't my thing. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough. That's fucked up.

Last weekend had the DC-3 at Tinker AFB show in OKC and the mil gave her 600 gals of fuel and 13 gal of oil, payment in kind. Kinda funny that they had to drive a bowser over from Rogers because FSD don't run on JP-X. Drop in the bucket compared to that C-17 that flew racetracks over the show box for an hour or so.

I think it was long ago & I was probably 18 or 19. I got drunk, she found out and when confronted in the state of inebreiation, I threw the F-bomb at her. She punched me in the nose all buck o'five of her reared back and threw the jab right into the air sucker. That pretty much ended the argument as I could not see and I was stunned that an Episcopal School principal laid the smack down on my nose. Don't argue with mom and never never drop an F-bomb on her cause she has nukes you don't know about. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough.
