  1. Hey Darius, Lots of others have already told you not to get the 120 ish sized reserve. I agree with them and i will give you another example. I have a few more jumps than you. Like you, my canopy skills are pretty good so far. My canopies are much smaller than what you are talking about but the principle is the same. I bought a rig to fit a main, with little concern of reserve sizing. I had a mal, chopped it, and flew that reserve for the first time. It flew fine and i landed safely in the peas. I was so concerned with the "what if's" with a reserve that small that i sold the rig and got one with a larger reserve. Remember that a reserve is your last chance. I know i could land that reserve safely if and when everything else was ok. What if i was unconscious, arm broken/dislocated, etc. In that instance, i didn't feel that I could land that reserve under abnormal circumstances. Selecting gear can be a trying time, listen to your instructors and choose wisely. There is always other gear available.
  2. Have a great birthday Scott. Hope you get lots of spankings. Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.
  3. I was half expecting to see one of you swooping the Crew dogs at Ballunar liftoff. Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.
  4. I like the video, i own it. I used it recently to make a newer jumper who had been doing a bit of digging that day watch the opening sequence/swoop. Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.
  5. Whew! I thought i was the only one OK Slap, what sport are we talking about here??? Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.
  6. Sweet, i had not heard of someone buying it. That would be great news for you guys.
  7. Hmmm, from OK to FL. Isn't that going from suck to blow?? Have a good, safe trip and watch out for bambi along the way. (no i will never drop that) If you and the Mrs. need an a/c guy in Tampa, i have a friend down there. Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.
  8. Hey Don, i think you might have picked a bad time to go to Temple. I heard they are shutting down for an extended period of time. Not sure when but i think it is pretty soon.
  9. Dave, we set our jumprun up so that isn't usually a problem EXCEPT: Freefliers exiting after a four way RW group have a tendency to get to deployment altitude much faster than the group in front of them. When they open and start flying back toward the dz, then yes, they are flying into "hostile territory" Under those circumstances, i have a habit of flying perp. to jumprun (when i am one of those freefliers) until i see the first group opening up.
  10. For me? A Sig Sauer .40 cal. Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.

  13. Jenn. most definately Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.
  14. Ewwwwwwww! I am going to flood your e-mail with pics just to make sure you can't burn that image from your mind. Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.
  15. Not necessarily directed at you: Voodew posted a video in the Casa--wingsuits--haloween sanmarcos thread. It shows footage of a high speed pass from inside the casa and his own perspective.(Red V-1) I saw it first hand, he definately climbed on exit. Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.
  16. Sweet. How come you cut the footage of the second smoke jump short?? I still can't get over the visual of watching you disappear above the tail from inside the plane. F'in awesome. Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.
  17. I know they don't have any demo's avbailable yet. Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.
  18. Same here, we will be there in Dec. We are going to swim with Dolphins and do a treetop canopy tour. Other than that i think we are going to hang out at the resort. Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.
  19. I like TX wines and only drink reds. Becker Vineyards, 2004 Cab. $12.99-$14.99 Messinahof Merlot $15-18 Sister Creek vineyards, Cab, $9.99 Flat Creek is good also but i haven't found it yet so i couldn't tell you the price. Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.
  20. It is a commercial for my company. A/C and Heating. This show host does live call ins with prompts that we send him for our commercial spots. They give a more personalized feel than having a radio voice just read a script for an ad. Well, that is the theory anyway. I think i owe beer!

  21. Thanks JT, i needed to laugh. Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.
  22. Cause i am. I am getting ready to do a live radio commercial and i am nervous. Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.
  23. Dude i can't tell you how awesome that visual was of you exiting on that high speed pass. Watching that red suit leave straight back then disappear above the plane was incredible. Yeah, i don't know who that low guy was, for a minute i thought scary perry had shown up. Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.
  24. Steve, I chose not to compete in the CPC this year but it had nothing to do with the fact that i don't fly a crossbraced canopy. For me it was because i had not been jumping prior to the start of the season and i had just changed wings, i did not feel current enough to be running gates. I DO plan on competing in '06 and it will NOT be under a crossbraced wing. In our first CPC event, I think Yoshi placed second under an Xfire2.

  25. Don't mind him, he is just touchy cause he is the vidiot for Vibe. Jon and Brandon get all the chicks while poor DJ doesn't. Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.
