    You must be thinking of Skydive Space Center in Titusville, FL Skydive Spaceland is near Houston, TX Also you must be thinking of Summerfest which is in Chicago, but Skyfest is at Skydive Spaceland in TX.

    Hey man chill out. All everyone here is trying to tell you is that you are not really stacking the odds in your favor.

    Can't forget those that were there till the 11th hour.

    That was the most uncomfortable rig I have ever put on, and scariest looking.

    Great I would love to see more people interested in CRW here. It would be great to have CRW jumps done more often here. I would love to see it being done most weekends. That would make it worth me buying new gear specifically for CRW.
  9. beowulf
    You could always get with Lee Hardesty about trying CRW. Joe has a few Lightnings laying around that he has always been willing to lend out. I am sure we could put together enough people here to get you on a 4 way plane.

    I have never had any return of my symptoms and it has been over 10 years since.

    I have only been to a chiropractor for one problem and it really helped me a lot. The MD that I was seeing was just giving me muscle relaxers that were not helping at all. After one adjustment from the Chiropractor I immediately felt 80 percent better. The Chiropractor was able to show me on an xray what the problem was and what she had to do to fix it. I would have no problem going to a Chiropractor.

    These Muslim terrorist are not fighting for anything near as noble as what you state. They are fighting to spread Islam. If the US pulled out of every Muslim country and made sure to never kill any Muslims it would not end the terrorists campaign to spread Islam. Jihad translated means effort in gods service. They believe as many Muslims generations before beleived that it is their god given obligation to conquer all nations and make the world Muslim.

    I don't think it is necessary to know EVERYTHING about your gear. But how an RSL works is one of the top things that you should understand. It should only take 30 seconds to explain how it works. It isn't that hard to understand. If you don't know or are unsure of how something works ask. Make sure you understand by telling the instructor how you think it works just to make sure you are correct.

    The only difference that I know of is the foam on the inside that holds the camera steady is a different thickness depending on which model of camera being used.

    No one in this sport should be standing around waiting for someone to teach them about their own gear. They should be proactive in researching out their gear and asking questions. It is the jumpers responsibility to makes sure they understand their gear. It isn't rocket science. She failed herself. She failed to make sure she understood her gear. She failed to pull her reseve ripcord. It isn't that hard to figure out. Apparently her life isn't that important to her since she didn't make sure she knew what she was doing before jumping. I would never blame anyone else for my own ignorance. I am responsible for my own education. All teachers can do is provide information and explainations. It is up to me to make sure I understand.

    If she is dumb enough to reach her current level with out figuring that out on her own then she is better off playing golf or bowling.

    Most of the tracking dives that we do at Skydive Dallas start out somewhat steep and then gradually go very flat. This makes for a great way to learn flat tracking. I have gotten less then 90mph vertical speed in many of these track dives.
  18. beowulf
    yeah about the same thing.
  19. beowulf
    sure why not seeing as how he only exists in your imagination.

    I think it is silly to attribute what we don't understand to an invisible being, rather then accepting the fact that we don't understand everything. It is better to study those things we don't understand, even though we will never reach the end, then to just give up and attribute it all to "God". I personally am happy not knowing all the answers. I don't need to know what happens after death. I just try to live life the best way I know how.
  21. beowulf
    God and Religion are two totally seperate ideas. One is a belief in an invisible higher being, the other is what people setup to control other people by setting rules that people must follow to make God happy.
  22. beowulf
    God is what people use to explain what they can not understand.

    Are you trying to increase the range on your WiFi? Some brands of WiFi access points offer higher gain antennaes and WiFi range expanders. Linksys is the one that I am most familar with and they offer a WiFi range expander which should work with any access point.
