  1. Hate to be the one to break it to you, but the world is ROUND! "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. Story goes, one day, years ago... skydivers were looking up at an 1800' cloud base, there was alcohol involved, a couple skygods got into an arguement and one of them told the other, if so-and-so jumped off a bridge, would you? Another extreme sport was born that day.

  3. Fix that'll point you in the right direction. Seems theres a high demand for it. "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

  5. You could use your one good arm, grab both toggles and practice a symetrical flare... damn well bet I would if I only had one good arm and the ground was a comin' "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
  6. Wonder how much I'll be able to sell a 20 year old seat harness thats got a 36 year old Strong LoPo on it, once I get done figurin out how to pack it. Got the package today, thanks!

  9. You have to use an Apple approved container, reserve and an AAD running iOS 4 at the minimum. If it malfunctions, you have to take it to a 'Genius' that doesn't know anything about it that's not covered in the troubleshooting book. Not to mention the repack will cost $300 because "There's less Apple Genius' than there are FAA riggers." Demand is high! You can only order 2 colors, black and white. And they would redesign the deployment 'bag' to not only work differently than similar products on the market but it would also only accept Apple canopies...and you would have to pay them a buck every time you packed it. To set themselves apart they would revive an old skydiving term for the devise, calling this new 'bag' a 'Pod'....an iPod! Not to mention the sizes of the bags! Just think: iPod Classic (for shooting classic accuracy) iPod Nano (for the swoopers) It would take an iRigger just to be able to pack the iPods! Every year when the new iRig is announced, your state of the art model will be obsolete. On the demonstration jump, the iRig would fail to open and you will get an explaination of 'Its never done that before' or 'Is anyone else using their iRigs right now?'

  10. I was just joking with my previous post. I've got no issue packing or helping around at the dz... and dont wanna get into the whole camera thing, ya know...

  11. "FUN JUMPERS NOT WELCOME" I believe is what they mean. Bastards! Can I do a tandem, minus the instructor, gear and high cost?

  13. A dumbass engineer would leave the new unreleased rig sitting on a barstool in a bar. The rigger group would pay dozens of times its value just to get their hands on it and reverse engineer it so they could 'repack' it with unauthorized items. The person that found it would be charged the price of the rig and get in trouble for selling it.

  14. Its cheaper to just buy a new container than to change out the proprietary pilot chute. "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. Oh i got one! Apple containers would be stable enough to accomodate other parachutes but work best with Apple-made parachutes and AADs As long as you use an apple CERTIFIED - adaptable parachute, or use an adapter...

  20. Alright, how do all of you IAD instructors keep current at a turbine dz that runs mostly tandem/AFF? I could probably get into an IAD course, but if I can't keep it current, its really just wasting a bunch of cash for something that I wont use much/at all. Do any of the bigger multi-turbine DZ's do any IAD work, if so, which ones?

  22. What's wrong with that? Not a darn thing. You just have more friends than I do. Of course. You only have 77 friends! I have 888. You should be more friendly.

  23. Dont buy gear yet, you dont even know what you want! Your gear for your training jumps should be provided and large enough to compensate for 'less than perfect' landings, once you get a few jumps under your belt, ask around at the dz as to whats a good deal and what kind of gear you should get. Take it slow, you dont want to drop a few grand on gear, only to find out its not what you want, or safe for you to jump for a while. Oh, and unless you gotta cash cow in the back yard, dont buy new, as you'll probably want to change gear in 1-200 jumps and with a good deal on used gear, you can get almost all of your money back from re-selling that gear. THEN buying what you want! "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
  24. Yeah, I should have some lettering done on my rig" "This rig contains a Swift 5-Cell reserve canopy that has been deployed enough times to qualify for it's own A-license." ... that should stop 'em! (Just kidding -- I've only used it twice and it was deployed 3 or 4 times before I got it) Atleast ya know it works!
