    go to start -> run -> type CMD hit then type: ping 127.0.0.1 If this fails your ethernet card has taken a dump. Just a suggestion since you have gotten the release renew and flushdns Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night.

    I heard everything from 100-130. Your guess is as good as mine. Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night.

    I personally buy steak from publix since you can pick the steak you want and get it cut the way you want. The fresh market is nice too but very expensive and don't really know how "fresh" it is. In reality enough people buy the steak from random people to keep them or the distributer in business. Aside from the fact they have been in a cooler all day, the person selling them is just as much a stranger as the local butcher at a grocery store. Maybe the guy had just finished picking a wedgie cuz he was scratching his junk too much and then picked his nose just b4 handling the steak. - Maybe too graphic but you get the idea.

    thanks for the replies. I will show this to him when he comes over this evening. I don't think he had the intention of making a cutaway.. just opening and using a reserve as the first option. I don't know his motivation. So far the answers i've gotten seem to go with what I thought all along as in.. no way to cutaway from a reserve without a knife and that a d was needed to do an intentional cutaway. I liked how someone added "your friend". I would like to make it clear this is not one of the.. I know a guy who clearly isnt me.. situations To be totally honest i do not think he has a full grasp on just how serious what we are doing is. I get the feeling his attitude is more of.. well nothing bad has happened yet and I got away unscathed so in turn i feel he will keep upping the stakes.. jumping in conditions he should not be.. things of that nature.

    Like some of the others have said you will probably constantly move your legs to make fine adjustments. like driving a car you don't keep the wheel in the exact same place. This is a video of one of my skydives and I THINK actually shows the leg movements people are speaking of. correct me if i'm wrong about this and I will remove it. There are also a few bad habits here. I am by no means saying try to be like me.. i figured this might help to show the movements. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yKHipRYr8U Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night.

    the running leap was great. We also launched a 6 way hybrid off of it. Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night.

    Agreed.. I got a steak from wal-mart once that was green on the bottom. I've had the same guys try to sell me steak also with the same excuse about someone down the street and discount prices blah blah. Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night.

    I can relate to the waiting to get in the twatter .. one of my aff jumps or early on the pilot had the flaps down and the cabin was... Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night.

    This video does not have the free fall since I only have 80 jumps and cannot fly a camera yet. Start takeoff and exit. I am the last one out of the plane. There is also a shot of paul meahger (Did I spell it right?) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMxb-sy9tC4 Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night.

    This may not be the right place to post but.... Myself and a friend did the AFF together and he has been wanting to use a reserve.. why... I don't know. He does not want to cutaway then use one or anything like that, but wait until it is near date to be repacked. He has 84 jumps, is this possible? If he uses a reserve then he will not be able to disconnect from it to get the main out unless he has a knife correct? I heard you cannot make an intentional cutaway unless you have a d license is this true? This would not be considered an intentional cutaway would it? Sorry for all the questions.

    To me the smell of jetfuel in the air means jumping is happening. - Gotta love the sound of a turbine starting too. Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night.

    So this is probably a repost and I'm sure to look like a tard asking but.. here goes... How does someone sit fly? I've tried it on numerous jumps.. can get myself up but usually flip over backwards.. I am trying to keep everything at 90 degree angles and press my heels down. On one exit I tried to go out in a sit facing the rear of the aircraft and looked up to find the plane right in front of me.. It felt like I was in a vertical position rather than flat to the ground but I did not stay that way very long. I am also wearing a pretty baggy swoop suit by tony which is probably not the best for free flying. Pretty much what I'm asking is.. what can I try doing with my body on next jump? Also I have tried flying on my back but cannot stay there as I instinctively roll out of bed. Thanks for taking the time to read, and I appreciate any answers.

    In comparison to some... mine doesn't seem so bad Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night.

    Like the last guy here said, relax maybe over thinking it. All I can say is and I quote from several experienced jumpers "Reach with your legs". Also something I did early on that made it hard was when I got below someone trying to dock I would keep my eyes on them in turn making me fall faster since I was arching more. I was told to turn 90 degrees to the person and look over my shoulder. To be honest I cannot tell if it helped or not. Now I just "hug a big beach ball" to slow down.

    I don't consider it sawn off :) I wanted to know the same thing.... I've started taking my camera on the ride to altitude and leaving it with the pilot sometimes and these guys are right.. generally more attention gets paid to the camera but I don't forget my gear checks and safety either. I'm planning to go with a mount that is on the front of my helmet rather than the top or side and simply start recording several minutes before it's time to jump.. no need for bite switches n wires etc for me anyway. I figure the more stuff you start piling on the more there is to worry about and go wrong. Just my opinion and probably not worth much.
