    If you can answer yes to this question, you shouldn't be on that jump. And who did you the disservice of making you think AAD's are a required item, once off student status? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Can't stand London....to touristy (Check out Liverpool though). In the UK it would have to be Edinburgh, Scottland. As for the favorite big city to visit, right now it would have to be Manhattan. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    At your loading on a Safire 209, I'm going to guess that it's simply a result of a slow opening canopy/pack job. You're able to resolve it without issue, right? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Have fun! Your enthusiasm is a GOOD thing! ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    More like $32. There was a $40 surcharge on top of the $24 ticket price (5jumps/$40 = $8), but that covered the extra altitude (15,000) and the video. Either way I had fun. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Also we can't forget to thank the DZO. The Casa was cancelled on short notice for an unspecified reason (wow was that politically correct?? Everyone is shocked by me being that way ) and Ray picked up the phone and brought up Perris's super skyvan. Thanks Ray!!! Yep, big Kudos to Ray, and SkyDance, especially for the last minute airplane. I'm willing to bet he didn't get a favorable deal on the plane, but he still made it happen! Thanks! Thanks to Collin as well! The jumps were fun, I'll be back for more next year.

    Seek out the advice of a local instructor you learn well from, and who has great canopy skills,a swell as the ability to teach them. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Now that's what I was thinking, and something tells me that it's the way George thought about things.

    Nothing wrong with that. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    The physical enviornment says otherwise, but please explain, maybe there's something I'm missing. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Ditto. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    This is true but the reports say that he cutaway at around 1500. That means that he should have been doing over 78mph as he travelled through 750 feet. Which means a cypress would have saved his life. I think you are mad if you dont jump with one. See billvons post. I think people are mad for making jumps where they think they need one. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    That's what I was wondering. If the toggles are trapped then for for sure it won't pass a control check. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    What was preventing the you from controlling the canopy with the step through? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    You obviously haven't met too many if you think that bdsm and the fetish scene are rare amongst skydivers You just got even hotter, if that's possible. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    That is some beautiful footage, for sure! Guess I should start playing the lottery again. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    A couple weeks ago I walk past an ATM that is beeping constantly. Seems someone had left their card in it. So I just stood by and waited for the machine to suck the card back in and store it as they are designed to do. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    When am I going to be able to breathe in freefall? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    And to add, "grey market" items are still genuine, just not produced for sale in this country, therefore they are not covered by the US repair company. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Yes. Not with a wingsuit, it was a tucked up diving exit, and I still didn't like it.e ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Dusty concrete has to be one of the worst. I think that shaded un-fertilized grass is the best. The was a study done some time ago I believe, don't remember where I saw it, maybe someone else can chime in.... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  23. diablopilot
    Yes I do. It does add quite a bit to the length of my pack job (2 to 3 minutes added to a 6 to 7 minute pack job), but I enjoy the way the canopy flies without it. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    How are you packing your pull-out that it takes more force? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    I think you should make out with her. And get a web cam. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
