  1. just out of curiosity does it really matter? Isn't that page on a local newspaper site, are they going by those votes to make the final decision or is it just one of those "to see what the locals want" type polls?
  2. i think before we get to the naked drugged up passengers, they'll just implement straight jackets and have flight attendants hook you up to a coke straw system where you just suck your drink out of a straw hanging down from the ceiling..
  3. So why don't you lock it? Huh? You have been on kind of a tear lately. *lol* ouch..
  4. A-hem...can you say CONTRABAND inside diapers etc, being on the list makes things 'legal' and there is a record also. i wasn't suggesting not running the kid through the xray, i was just saying denying because she wasn't "on the list" kinda sucks, but again rules are rules
  5. oh *smack* duh missed that :)
  6. Agreed, but tell the kid to stay in the car, don't lock her in the trunk. Or better yet, as Lummy said, don't bring her. True, but it doesn't say how old the kid is.. just leaving the kid in the car (not the trunk, but the car) by herself most likely would have also been illegal
  7. okay that was assinine, but so was denying the kid because the kid wasn't on the VISITOR LIST? uh...
  8. i have a room at best western and i'm looking for a few roomates pm me if you want more info..i think it's the best western, i can't even remember.. it's the one betsy told me to book at
  9. dude you already got a suit? Rock on! Flock with you at eloy? :)
  10. i've been told playing grab ass by proxie is a no-no who the hell ix proxie? does pixie know about her? :)
  11. ok maybe i don't need to meet you to think you're a dumbass.. thanks for teaching me something today.
  12. I've never really understood this misconception. After you open, you unzip your wings. That's it as far as what to "deal with". A lot of people, even when I'm wearing the suit in front of them, say, "if I need to chop, I want full access to my handles". You always have access to your emergency handles, even with everything zipped up. You only need to pull the handles to disconnect the arm wings if you have something you need to fix (eg, line twists) and aren't comfortable with the zippers yet and don't feel that you need to chop. Out of over 200 WS jumps, I've had line twists several times, and even chopped once. I have never chopped the wings, and have never needed to do so. There really isn't a lot to deal with. After not too long, you can connect the suit in just a few minutes. It usually takes me three or four, and I often have someone doing the other side, cutting it down to just a couple minutes. For me, it's only about eight to ten seconds (about 150 - 200 feet) from the time my canopy is open to the time that I have my arms and legs out of the suit, slider collapsed, toggles unstowed and am flying the canopy. I have another newbie question... why not just chop your wings 1k before main deployment? Go into a regular freefall for more stability... or is there something horribly wrong with that idea? One of the biggest gripes about wingsuits is how much work it is to put the suit on the rig.. which is when you hook up the cutaways to the wing. there are a total of 4 cutaway cables (2 on each wing) that have to be puton, and if you're new at wingsuits it could take 10 or 15 minutes to get everything setup.
  13. I'm sorry I didn't see the video of his jump, could you point me to that? If you're talking about the newscast it shows him hanging from a antenna wire which says nothing about the risk involved with the jump he made.. guess the people who die base jumping were all dumbasses too. i'm done with this crap.. later.
  14. Am I missing something here?? You're the second person to make a comment like this -- keep in mind there were 3 jumpers, the other 2 made it down just fine so what does "caseing" it out have to do with anything in this scenerio? You can case everything out you want to - it could be a 1000 foot tower and you could still have issues. Maybe i'm missing something
  15. i think you're talking out of your ass here, were you there? Do you know what happened? My guess is no, off heading openings happen - just like line twists happen on a normal skydive, you do things to prevent them but even if you do everything right something can go wrong. I'm glad no one got hurt, but calling him a dumbass without knowing anything really makes yourself look like a dumbass. But i don't know you so i'm not going to call you one.
  16. Dude how do you cut that away?? kick your shoe off?
  17. i won't be there period, so it's worse for me :)
