    or 501(c)(3)'s funnelling PILES of SECRET corporate money into attack ads that merely avoid the "vote for/vote against" language. Issue Ads have become a joke for the most part. You got something to say, say it. But don't be afraid to identify yourself. "paid for by Enron" Rat for Life - Fly till I die When them stupid ass bitches ask why

    I would take limbs and fence coming into plane ANYDAY VS. Being stuck in Burning inferno. Also: "short final" to Crash procedures call for: Engines Shut Down Mixtures OFF Fuel Selectors OFF Now there is NO Zero Side Slip..... Of course you don't open door a 1000 feet up.... you have to wait until last 100 feet or so.... also: What if everyone is injured and has broken limbs and backs, etc. Who is going to step up to door....and kick it out?

    Pretty sure there was a fatality a year or two ago just like that. Nasty. If you don't know where he is, he is probably right behind you. Rat for Life - Fly till I die When them stupid ass bitches ask why

    Not trying to nit pick but that should probably read "NEVER JUST POP" to belly/track PERIOD. What do I mean? At breakoff, the same cork principals apply. Keep up the fall rate as you gradually transition to belly track. We wanna slow down from 160 to 120, not but on the brakes. That is why freefliers break higher. It takes time to slow down and you do not want to be right next to / on top of someone while you are doing it. Gradually go to belly. Headdowners use a "banana track". It looks just like it's name. Bannan peel out (after locating the camera man ) and keep up the speed as you gradually go to belly. Sit fliers. Do half cartwheel to head down attitude and banana peel off to belly track OR go from sit to your back and back track off. The keys are: 1. Make sure you know where everone is at breakoff. 2. Gradually go from freefly speed to belly track. Long winded but hey Rat for Life - Fly till I die When them stupid ass bitches ask why

    Hell yeah. and I wouldn't wait till the ride to altitude either. Be honest with each other about abilities and keep group small (read 2 way) until you are safe to freefly in crowds. Keep working Rat for Life - Fly till I die When them stupid ass bitches ask why

    Lost a good friend and excellent freeflier to a cork. Freefly speeds are 160ish. Corking can go to the 120 range. Closing speed is 40mph. That's serious. Freefly corking can be fatal. RIP Brad Slager - we love you. Rat for Life - Fly till I die When them stupid ass bitches ask why

    Not true. There is a use of force continuum that police are supposed to follow. Deadly force is the last step. Tasers are an alternative to deadly force and should only be used as a last resort. Tasers can and do kill people. BTW - I think the student was a douchbag. Rat for Life - Fly till I die When them stupid ass bitches ask why

    Hard to say from this video because you cannot SEE what is happening, but you can HEAR the cops telling him "Stand up or you will get tasered, again". Tasers are supposed to be alternatives to deadly force. Instead, they are being used/abused as compliance tools. IMHO , if these cops are just shocking the shit out of this guy because he's an asshole or he won't comply with their verbal commands, they should be fired and prosecuted.

    It was me so I can tell you he went by really fast. The way they did it at Space Games (back in the day) was to fly a jump run parallel to the DZ (off set a mile or so) and track head to head. Rule was you had to be open at 3K. They used Protracks to verify. Just did it like a single elimination tournament. The finals were a three way. Olav and Rook tracked farther but busted the minimum opening altitutde. Mike Swanson ended up getting 1st. Rat for Life - Fly till I die When them stupid ass bitches ask why

    Genesis Chapter One: 24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth [including dinosaurs] after his kind: and it was so. 25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind [including dinosaurs], and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. and no, I'm not an idiot.
