    Would really depend on their response to my questions about the poor performance. Always. Throuought the student process and beyond. It is every instructors duty to do so. No. AFF (the method that applies in my case) is more than just performing in freefall. No one graduates till they can show the ability to skydive, and land safely. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    You can expect an adjustment to the main lift web (MLW) to start at about $150. A master rigger with the machines and experience could handle that for you, or the manufacturer. In reality a 20lb difference is not going to be a huge problem. 40lbs might make the harness a bit floppy on ya. If going new, my favorite is VSE with the Infinity, for fit and comfort. Jumpshack products often are hard to resell. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Do a search here and you may find something. Cleaning fluid and special swabs. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Buy the supplies and clean it yourself. You can read in your manual how to use the mirror hold down setting so you can access the optics. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Good luck to you! I have a frient that went to that one (St. Kitts, right?) She said it was great, the only complaint was that of the 600 or so in the student body, 500+ were women.... The local men are slim pickin's for a dating pool apparently. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Already been in touch with the man, why I didn't go to him first, I just don't know. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Guess I'll just have to jump with ya again! ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

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

    Nope. I get a "Scrip Error!" in the browser. Tried different browser, and it works.... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Damnit! Linky no workie for me. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    That's awesome. Thanks! ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Anyone got one, or know where I can get one?
  14. diablopilot
    Yes. It's also required that everybody on the record jump still be alive 24 hours later (this is an FAI requirement for the jump to be certified as a record). So no goin' really big that night whilst celebrating - you wouldn't want the record not becoming official to be your fault. If you were dead, would you care? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Hehehe...I'm willing to bet that anyone who tries to stop him is screwed...... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Both are great from FliteSuit, the particular item are the Bomber Freefly suit and pants. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Wow, a DZ near a prison. What are the odds? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Sure the the spot light on the subject is great, but as I mentioned before, the wording needs to be changed...... from:http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=2827721#2827721 ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  19. diablopilot
    Maybe if you didn’t publicly ridicule people for participating in discussions on DZ.com they would be more likely to participate. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    The PC 9 is sufficient for something like tandems, though the optics are some what mediocre for high quality video. As for the stills, if you're just looking to do tandems, go with a 35mm Rebel. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Speaking of the VAB, I'm in lust after seeing that building up close. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Nevada. They never close. If you're into that sort of thing. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    You're gonna regret it when your fresh water tank starts growing things. Make sure you look into a treatment system. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  24. diablopilot
    If you want it bad enough, anyone can afford it. I've seen millionaires and college students with no deep pockets make it in this sport. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    It's not working because the standards for becoming an instructor have hit the bottom of the fucking toilet. That's what we're saying, we want the USPA to get it's collective head out and do something about it. Get rid of the S&TA's that sit behind a desk, challenge people to become great instructors rather than lower standards because of a shortage, and stop trying to turn this into an "everyone-can-do-it-feel-good-koom-by-ya" sport. As we can tell some can't hack it. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
