  1. Careful, they might call you lazy for that!! (btw, that 330 is still opening like a champ! Need to sew some kill lines on the slider now that it comes all the way down) "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. What I would like to know, how the fuck does an octo/quad? pus infects a person with a penis looking snake, and the end result is an biped looking alien??

  3. I think it was SAFER for him to be further away, especially provided the clouds they bust at the bottom end. Last thing I'd want to do is loose sight of them while near them and low.

  4. I never wore a military rig that tight. Plenty of others did though... "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. Speed is never the only factor. Even at 70mph many people don't have their cars setup properly. Like the guys I see daily driving 80mph with their spare doughnut on. I have taken a few courses in aggressive/tactical driving, that have gone pretty well into the dynamics of vehicle control and such. My truck has a rear sway bar, the tires are pumped a bit higher than the door panel states... It's amazing how little people can care about something that could save countless lives like knowing how to drive it, understanding the forces at play (body roll in turns and such) and how a little maintenance can go a LONG way!

  6. We can pack using velcro d-bags... we just LIKE them sewn shut. "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. Direct bag deployment on a ram air is not a good idea. Sparky Isn't there an MC-5/6 variant that's SL (direct bag)? "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
  9. Since you're working on your master, I'd figure he'd give it right back! "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

    That panel is too small with the yoke located there for me to believe its a 182. "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. Hopefully, in a good way! Was quite funny, after we opened, I pointed out the other tandem that exited after us (her mom) They were toggle whipping around and she said I bet she's screaming her ass off! Shortly after, so was she. "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
  13. Nah, that's not it. She was a screamer too. "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
  14. Want the cute spinner chicks? Get a tandem rating, call dibs on them the microsecond they walk in the door, and give it your best. Helps if you don't break them or yourself, and everyone walks inside under their own power. Oh and ya actually can't flirt with them all, especially when they're there with their boyfriends or husbands. (though one of the girls I took today took her ring off and left it with her husband on the ground, said what happens in the air stays in the air, she didn't want to be married for this part and off we went!)

  15. What is the center of the pictures that is blurry? If the tandem is off center, and you have center spot focus, that could be it.

    Except for the fact that the dog in that picture is sitting in a Cessna. (my guess is smaller than a C152) "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
  17. Many experienced jumpers with ~100 still blank on what happened on exit, and don't remember seeing the plane, even if they were looking right at it! My first stable solo exit was my first '5.5' hop and pop, reason it was so stable? Cause according to my altimeter, the base of those clouds was at 3k and we were under 'em. I was too scared shitless to fuck it up.

  18. I was doing video for some RW jumps, pulling in place above breakoff. One time I dumped but continued watching them fall, hell of shot! http://robert.branzone.com/pics/Cool.jpg "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

  20. Heh, I may have seen a tandem student steer the Cessna once... reaching past the pilot and hand on yoke. That's if I DID see it, which depends who's asking.

  23. They used to be different rigs, but they took all of the advancements in bridle protection and whatnot and incorporated them into the V3.

  24. Pretty sure you can get the tests paid for, but I don't know how to get that. "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
