  1. Make lemonade, just don't sell it in Portland. Clicky "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message
  2. Dont forget, you have about 170 lbs of stupid on front of you that could throw your body position off. But, is it spinning in one direction ever time? Built in turn when its flying with the breaks stowed?

  5. Nope, probably not! I remember my off landing. Winds kicked up after we took off, and on the entire ride to alt, I was under a Navigator 240 weighing about 190 out the door. Opened up, checked my ground speed... yup, going backwards. Radio didn't work (distance maybe?) I saw I was backing up into some trees behind me and my best outs were straight down and to the left... I spiraled down to burn off some alt, got it back into the wind and landed just right, then got yanked back by the canopy. Cleared the trees by a few hundred feet though Sometimes shit happens. MANY injuries that I've seen recently (on here anyways) were under good canopies when someone impacted the ground in a high speed dive.

  6. Just out of curiosity, when did you get that word? I seem to recall something not too long ago that made it seem like a riggers ticket could be re-imbursed (even if just the testing fees) "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message

  8. No exposed reserve pilot chute, Better riser protecton, wider leg straps, better customer service. and all around more comfortable. Plus If you compare the options of an infinity to any other manufacture the infinity will be cheaper. I have also heard lately that wings have a tendency to have hard pulls if you dont beat the hell out of the BOC Some see the wings having the partially exposed reserve PC as being a good thing (less flaps between the PC and air) giving it a cleaner and better launch. Hard pulls can be done on any rig, depends how you pack the PC. I had an instructor pack the student gear on one of my jumps (was learning how to pack and he showed me his way) Had a HARD pull, but still got it out. Never had that issue packing the PC my way before, or after that.

  11. Call them tomorrow, they have been VERY willing to answer everything to the finest details when I called with a ton of questions, they know their stuff and the product is just plain awesome. I gotta figure out who wants to buy a pair of gatorz when I get back... lol "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message
  12. Ya arent factoring in the discount are you? Tell them you're a skydiver, (Scott Campos aka LouDiamond) knows those guys pretty well and gets us a hookup.

  13. Not sure if you'll qualifiy for USSI, I'm fairly certian AD is a LEO (or affiliated with them), and I am military. They make you send them a copy of your credentials/ID card before you can make any purchases. That being said, I am getting a pair of Liquid Eyewear... they're more expensive than the Oakleys, but they're built like tanks, my oakleys never last long (hell, I have a couple sets I havnt even taken out of the case, just because they'll break) IIRC the oakleys have plastic hinges (atleast on the military ones we get) and fall apart pretty easily, I wouldnt take them to terminal.

  14. Where are you finding these for $50? Link please :) I see them on US Standard Issue for $55 https://secure.usstandardissue.com/Product_Detail.cfm?id=89 "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message
  15. I havnt found anything that says you could use it for skydiving... most I've found is a list of vocational stuff. I'm trying to see if I can get them to pay for me to go to a riggers course myself...

  16. You expect me to believe that after throwing it that far, the ball makes it, hits the track and only bounces 5-6 feet back up? Cmon man!

  17. If you had a transporter, you may not even need a rig! Think about it, lay your 4-way or 8-way down on the transporter pad already in formation w/ grips for the first point. Transport to 12.5. Away y'all go crankin' points and then have the transporter set to beam y'all back safely to the pad at 2k. No rig, no packing required. Or a portable wind tunnel (recirculating with heat/ac) that you can fit a > 16 way BFR in, that runs off hopes and dreams and folds up into something the size of a credit card.

  18. Maybe the teacher was feeling a little inadequate and didnt like hearing that from a woman, much less a student? "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message
  19. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/classifieds/detail_page.cgi?ID=95088;d=1 See if they still got it? Have someone measure you, get the s/n of the rig, call Sun Path and ask them if it would fit.

  20. Obvious racisim!!! You can see on the bottom, it says the kid is white and the teacher is yellow. Whats the world coming to?

  21. You may want to re-read what i typed. I never said "backwards" or 180 deg......i said track back an in the general direction you just came from, of you would fan out (like the front guys do) but more to the outside. Yes i could have spelled it out better for those that like to ASSume but i didnt think it was needed..... Hmm, so you assumed that you didnt need to spell it out for people that assumed you meant something else?

  22. The Notebook. This was a good one. I read the description and thought, "No way; none of this 'true love' crap." I'm too cynical to cry over that. But then I watched the trailer, and the scenery makes it look worth watching. Plus Ryan Gosling is cute.

  24. No parents, and I HATE borrowing money. I joined the Army, this being my 5th 'trip' overseas, I've managed to pay off my truck, debts and have a decent coushin. When my dad died last year, I found out I was the sole benificiary for life insurance we didn't know he had. Its been thrown into CD's minus an emergency fund (located in a different bank, that I cannot access online, only over the phone/one check book). I just gave my sister 3 grand for a car she wants and I refuse to touch the other money for any 'spur of the moment' expenses... and its a bitch to get to, so its more reason not to use it. This deployment I have bought a brand new fully loaded V3-M, Optimum Reserve, some rigger items, a seat PEP with a 26' lopo canopy, a LiquidSky suit, Cannon XSi kit... and I still have a bit of cash in the checking account. My truck is paid off... My credit score is over 700... I have a good amount in the bank for emergencies... and I pretty much owe my financial status and responsibility (even if it doesn't sound like it) to the military. Its not for everyone, but its not too bad of a gig, I just wish I could get my bum brother in!
