    What does having a decent attitude have to do with descent? Do positive thinkers fall faster? (Can we correct spelling errors in thread titles? Otherwise they're difficult to find in search.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_attitude Your rights end where my feelings begin.

    I don't know about this, seems wholly unsanitary. I mean they're like almost naked. Your rights end where my feelings begin.

    Doesn't the store bought peanut butter usually have like a lot of sugar in it? Usually I just make my own so I get exactly what I want (roast/salt levels). Your rights end where my feelings begin.

    According to the comment section on the video its an advertisement for some insurance company. Your rights end where my feelings begin.

    So you want the inexperienced and the clueless to run the show and make up the rules? Like I said, get into BASE, no rules and you can do what ever the fuck you want. There are plenty of terminal walls out there and if you could get stable on your first skydive in 15 secs then surely you'll be able to do that off of a cliff. Do it, the BFL is waiting for you.

    To my eyes it looked like that dude tried to slow the red car down but didn't really understand that a car vs. human is always a lose-lose situation for the human. Is the GoPro Grand Prix shot entirely with GoPros? Your rights end where my feelings begin.

    The way I've explained to myself is that a lot of (most?) people can't deal with life without having problems so they create BS problems out of nowhere. When I realize myself doing it, I rationalize myself out of the thinking even though it might be more tempting to bitch about nothing really. Even at the moment, I found out that the project I've been working my whole time at the company I work for, is going to be transferred to China and they're probably going to layoff something like one third of the workforce at our site, which would give a perfect opportunity to to whine. However I see it as an opportunity to possibly make big move in my life i.e. move to another country with better sky/BASE-jumping opportunities. Your rights end where my feelings begin.

    I don't understand how this reduces pimping though. Wouldn't a state operated brothel be more effective against pimping? Your rights end where my feelings begin.

    What you need to do is to start BASE jumping. No dumb rules and you can wear as many GoPro's as you want. Plus the videos you get will look helluva lot more awesome on facebook then some boring 50 seconds of freefall on solo student jump videos. Your rights end where my feelings begin.

    Is the difference in price worth the peace of mind you get from doing it at the familiar, more recognized DZ? Your rights end where my feelings begin.

    I use Brian Germains method to pack my PC which makes it near impossible to pack it if the PC hasn't been cocked. Your rights end where my feelings begin.

    Did you try to move your hands on the strut after you had let your feet off the leg support on the landing gear? Your rights end where my feelings begin.

    Doctors told him he'd die on the operating table, he would need to be castrated or that it would cost him at least 100 grand to have it fixed which is why it took him a while to get it fixed. Well actually until he found a specialist that would do it for free. Your rights end where my feelings begin.

    Why would it be harder then with a wingsuit? Have you ever pulled from full track? Your rights end where my feelings begin.

    When I work with students, after the radio is checked/tested with the ground person, the radio is not touched/turned off until the student has landed. Batteries are so cheap that I don't see the point of turning them on/off after doing the radio check. Your rights end where my feelings begin.

    Without it I would never have been exposed to the awesomeness that is people like HowToBasic. Very usefull and helpful guides like How To Insert a Tampon (SFW). Your rights end where my feelings begin.

    At what point did you see the other jumper? Your rights end where my feelings begin.

    It doesn't bother me and I do it myself most of the time. It makes it far more obvious on who or what you're replying to then just randomly pressing Reply on someone's post. Your rights end where my feelings begin.

    Just to let you know, I have seen a cutawayhandle on a paxharness. A big red handle where the warninglable is and 3-rings at the topattachments. The poor student wearing it probably had no idea Do you know why that kind of setup existed? Your rights end where my feelings begin.

    Says a lot about what Huffington Post thinks of modern women if that list is outrageous. He is basically looking for a good looking, fit, educated woman a with a decent personality who is not a total hick. Your rights end where my feelings begin.

    After I had my hard opening (I fractured a rib and got some minor damage to my sternum) I was back in the air in about 40 minutes or so. I just basically landed, packed and manifested straight away. It was weird though, during gear up, ride up to altitude or even the initial free fall I felt fine, but then around 6k feet I flipped to my belly to get ready to slow down for opening (the only explanation for the hard opening I could come up was the fact that I was doing about 277 kmh/172 mph when I deployed) I immediately had this full body anxiety where I was just expecting to receive a lot of pain. I think it took something like 50+ jumps before I could relax again during deployment. Your rights end where my feelings begin.

    Do you mean videos of the training jumps that are done to gain Tandem Instructor proficiency? At least for Strong Dual Hawk certification I was told that those jumps cannot be videoed, but I'm not sure about other manufacturers, however I doubt they can be filmed either.
