  1. Bonjour mademoiselle Remster
  2. Any red-headed-left-handed-lesbian-rocket-scientists in it? Don't answer that.... Remster

    Because it's not on Fox News Remster
  4. Our team did 8 jumps a day, over the weekend, on 1 rig each (well except the 2 losers who had a reserve ride lol), and we were done by 2 pm each day. That's with creeping or debriefing between jumps. You don't need 2 rigs to do the numbers you are looking at. You need a good DZ with plenty of lifts. Remster
  5. True for smaller DZ's, but larger DZ often have marketing managers, office managers, operations managers, and the likes. Remster
  6. That's because he was a scary catholic in a land of protestants. Remster
  7. I've been competing in MX pants for 4 years. And not one single gold medal. Proof you need capris to win. Remster
  8. They have a WalMart with a nail salon. Oral pedicures included. Remster
  9. Tarantino is a self professed foot freak. Remster
  10. Are you 150 and 5'6, or 150 and 6'3? Keep in mind you may end up wearing weights during some (or most) of your jumps, depending on that answer. Remster
  11. That feeling? In your belly? It probably is dysentery. I'd get that checked if I were ya Remster
  12. My opinion. Consistent back to backs: you need to have a plan in place before the day as to what your jumps will be. You will have no time to prep in between jumps. Most people who do that have a 2 or 4 jump plan at a time (say, 2 different jumps, repeated, already prepped). Why? jumping just to add another digit top your log book won't be that effective in improving your skills. If you do that, have 2 rigs that are carbon copies of each other (or as close to it as you can). The odd back to back, or the packer is getting behind once in a while: a pair of carbon copy rigs would still be ideal, but, in reality, 2 -about the same- rigs will do. And, a back to back day should be easily 10 (at the very least) to 15-18 jumps. Plan for that, both for food, energy, planning. If you feel that's too much, you don't need a second rig. Remster
  13. He did get the middle of no-where part right. Remster
  14. I'll put up my PS enhanced photo against anyone's! Remster
  15. Anyone can get giant gonads now: http://www.neuticles.com/ultra.php Remster
  16. I guess it's just lost in translation. To a english reader, Max Suspended Weight is the maximum that should be loaded on that canopy, period. If as you say, it's the Max Recommended weight, then that makes more sense. Thanks for the clarification!
  17. Really? You're recommending to a newbie with 30 odd jumps to do a back track, when they have no landmarks to keep a heading, and they already are swooshing around the sky on their "head down" solo? This is why you need to talk to people in person. Remster
  18. Meanwhile, in science: http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pcbi.1003518 Remster
  19. This place is already a sausage factory. We don't need more. Remster
  20. Wow. That's not a very high max sus. weight. Remster
  21. Here's an idea! I know, it's kinda out there, but it may work. You jump at what is possibly the DZ with the best skydivers and coaches available in the world (no offence to any other DZ, but ya'all suck ). Why don't you ask any of the experienced folks in the hangar? I know any of the LO's would be happy to chat about this and your progression. Remster
  22. Have a great day, celebrating Jennifer... If I was the in the area, I'd definitely want to be there... Remster
