i believe southwest is one of the few airlines who has a specific policy on AADs that you can get them to print out for you

Wow.. he made it to the next round! :)

Anyone ever heard of him? I think that's his last name.. anyway was watching "race to the alter" with the neighbors.. the latest reality tv show, they were doing interviews and ethan is wearing a closing pin necklace! Anyone see this ?

DP - see this thread, robi says: Hi all, I agree with Per! To slow down before pull sequence is just one bad thing. Look at my smoke flight in Arco and you'll be able to notice how big turbulence we have behind the body when we fly in ''fast'' mode! Clearly, you can notice the turbulence which is coming from induced drag (vortex at the tip of the wing as the resolute of the air flow from the lower surface to the upper surface of the wing because of difference in pressure.) Imagine what is happening when you slow down and put your body in ''slow'' mode. The turbulence will be huge!! that for sure is not the place were you want to place your PC in BASE jumping. Personally, I pull in ''fast'' mode ( trying to be as fast as possible ) I have Troll with no MDV and using small mash slider with double rubberband at ''C'' line. Yes, my openings are usually hard, but I rather live w this than with hesitation of my PC or canopy. This opening technique I am using for BASE jumping I do not recommend for small skydiving canopies because the swing from the pull can void you in serious line twist .

I love my base PC pouch, i use it all the time for my wingsuit jumps.. however i've found out the velcro they run up the leg (which does run behind the back pad of the rig) will tear up the back pad after repeated use.. i took a small piece of velcro and put it on the hook portion of the leg that goes behind the backpad so that it isn't rubbing anymore

Who btw is dead :)

my girlfriend is absolutely nuts about dwarf hotots..

i just heard on the radio this morning this guy called in talking about his ex's tattoo -- had a cat head where the pubic hair area is, and paws on either side of the well you know and a mouse tail tail coming out of the bottom of the well you know.. :) Creative but NUTS nonetheless.

*whew* glad i'm on the other side of the country :)

Yeah i wasn't thinking but you get the point :)

yeah why would ANYONE want to stop in the middle of sex? :)

I am not sure what you mean rotate 180(degrees? %?) from what starting position. Most people either rotate the bag 90 degrees leaving the grommet facing the bottom of the reserve, or do not rotate at all and leave the bridle coming out the top. can you clarify what you mean. My rig does not pack very nice if I do not rotate. btw-I will be making my first birdman jumps this weekend so I hope I have no problems. Josh Well instead of going 90% where the grommet was up I went 180% where the grommet was DOWN... it was stupid, don't try it at home :)

I think they were taking pre orders for it at PIA long before it was complete...

I just saw a funny commercial for a new drink dnL anyone ever tried it? Holy crap I did some more research and this is an ACTUAL DRINK! I thought it was just 7up doing a funny commercial but nope it's ferreal. wonder if this is another "crystal pepsi" or whatever that was called a while back that floped

Beach jumps used to require only a "C"...Did this change? It varies and is up to the DZ in most cases... gold coast requires a C and water gear. it's not an extremely tight landing area but so tight i fyou land off you are either in the ocean or on a 2 lane highway.. or if you're really off on a military base :)

Turtles have green ears? Damn.. anyway, i'd say there is nothing wrong with having cut corners.. if you have a pin come out prematurely i seriously doubt having non cut corners is going to keep that dbag in there extremely well - yeah more chance of it staying in without cut corners but i'd say the benifits of having cut corners (for wingsuit) outweigh not having them.. even if you move between wingsuit and non wingsuit dives.

I'm not sure how much rotation you're thinking but before I had my corners cut I was told by another wingsuit pilot that he rotates his 180% to help with line twists -- I tried it and resulted in cutaway number 3. Definately a no no, spun it up more than I could count.

that has been here too.. don't know jack about it

I talked to them this week, as well as got an email from the ceo last week. The email last week said that they were testing and if everythign went okay they would ship thursday. I called the following monday and talked to the secretary who said they had not shipped yet but could not tell me why, she had one of the ladies call me back who explained they evidentally went to a funeral of someone who died (bob someone, no not hope)... she said "they would ship this week" but she couldn't tell me when.. I'll believe it when I see it, this is now the crying wolf syndrome. She also added they wanted to make sure they released a solid product, that they've seen too many mfgs. release products that weren't ready.... i will definately be putting my unit through some rigorus testing. We'll see how it works with birdman.

Uh no not really, base jumpers start at 1000 feet on a lot of their jumps :)

Yep i've seen all that, actually sent an email to lambert about it just before i posted this :)
