Freeflying is alive and well here at Skydive Dallas. We have two VFS teams and pretty good size group of freefliers jumping for fun. This next weekend Team Vibe is putting on a head down skills camp for anyone wanting to learn head down and anyone wanting to improve their head down skills.

Team Vibe will be there. We have a new team here at Dallas named Evol. They are planning on being there also. I expect to see more intermediate teams at Nationals this year. I really want to see this take off and one day have numbers similar to 4 way RW.

The magazine on the rifle is curving the wrong direction. Do AR-15's take curved magazines?

Great explaination! I couldn't have said any better. To OP. Think pressing down with your heels more and sitting up straight, this will help your sit flying form.

I think that about sums up everything you have to say.

Do think a jump pilot has a reason to be angry when this happens?

I think it is really bad form to air this shit out on a public forum. If you have a problem with someone then confront them personally. Doing it online makes you look bad. -
The Optima does not log jumps. I recommend the Neptune.

ahhh the classic don't question god because we don't and can't understand him.

But but you have to believe in Zues and repent before him before you can see the light and reap the benefits!

It's kind of tough to pursue both avenues when one has evidence and the other has none.

Would you still jump with your.....
beowulf replied to napvid's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I would have to buy an AAD first before I could jump with it out for maintenance. I have never owned an AAD and the only jumps that I have with one are the student jumps and the very few where I borrowed or rented a rig. Yet some how I managed to live! -
Because there is lots that we don't understand does not mean there is a god. You use faulty logic to arrive at your conclusion.

>Hope is empowered by love. No it is not. One has no affect on the other. >Our love comes from the testimony of Gods love through Jesus. That is only your belief based on what you read in a book. >Believing in something as a child is different than believing in something as an adult with the heart of a child. No it is not any different. Age has no affect on this belief. >The love has proven itself real in my life, seems to make sense that it is real. That is only your perception that has no tangible evidence to go with it.

There is no evidence that there is anything for you to gain. With out any evidence you are wasting your time believing in a fairy tale.

Yeah that's been said for thousands of years. That threat has lost it's effect.

yeah well There is a sucker born every minute. Was it PT Barnum that said that?

Do you still keep a paper log book? -

My numbers in my profile are accurate. I have not had a cut away yet. Does that make me a less competent skydiver? It's not like I chose not to have any cut aways. I didn't do anything special. btw I have 139 jumps for this year and almost 300 jumps for last year and over 300 for the year before. -
You write some of the silliest and goofiest stuff here. I find it hard to believe you actually believe any of it.
-
Yea no kidding! It had never occured to me that anyone would ever cut away above ground. When he pulled his hand out of his toggle the thought that went through my mind was "How is he going to flare like that?"
-
This thread really got me remembering that incident. I try not to think about it too much. Every so often it runs through my mind and reminds me not to take anything for granted in this sport, to not get over confident and make sure you think things out thoroughly before you do them. I wish he had said something in the plane. I and others would have done our best to talk him out of it.
-
I thought he was dead. It happened so quick, his expression never changed. He hit the ground hard and didn't move. There was a pretty big crowd there. I have never heard a crowd get so quiet so quickly. I think we were all in total shock.
-
It was a hit n chug. He apparently had a bright idea and thought it was a good idea to cut away his main right as he was about to touch down. Then he would have a head start on chugging the beer. He didn't quite factor in the physics involved and miscalculated his distance from the ground. A really really dumb mistake that he gets to pay for, for the rest of his life. He never flared at all before cutting away his main. I had a nice front row view, being that I was the third down on that last load of the day. I can still see his shit eating grin as he took his hand out of his toggles and reached for his cut away handle.

Christianity - it now makes so much more sense

I thought it was pretty funny.
