  1. I've got 2500 jumps on Infinity's that says your theory is wrong, and as been debated here many times before a properly designed down tuck is more secure in a collision than any up tuck. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  2. For the same price you can get a carbon fibre Mamba rather than a molded plastic shell as on the Z1. It will resist cracking and other damage better. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  3. Word. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  4. I can't believe green card is doing so poorly! Skydivers are sooooo full of shit! ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  5. Wonder if Square one will ever rent him gear again. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  6. Is this the final "petition"? Nope, it's my offering to express my distaste for the "solution" proposed. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  7. Shhhhh....don't let the newbs and DZO's hear ya. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  8. Loved it. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  9. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  10. Drop the keyboard and find something fun to do. As much as they rebel against the idea, BASE jumpers are skydivers. We had far less issues in the sport of BASE when that was held to be true. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  11. Glad the jumper made it out ok. Obviously the lesons that needed to be learned have been talked about here. Good comunication with a support crew when doing a stunt, and proper planning. I don't know the jumper in question, but bet they will consider those things next time. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  12. Figure out who will be down in what order, and where everybody is intending to land. Come up with a plan that promotes the most seperation (time) Sitick to it. That means no spirals if you see yourself below the person that's suposed to be landing before you. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  13. Try: "We, the undersigned, support a proposal that increases the number of S&TA's, their commitment, and effectiveness to do their accepted duties. We also demand higher standards from the instructors in our sport, and expect that they are allowed the authority to moderate skydiver behaviors in regards to safety." ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  14. Tie Dye and a water rig might be, well.....changing. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  15. You look like the neon pink type, JP. I'm going to put a big "X" of it on the back of my rig, so you can keep track of me on the pond...... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  16. Sounds like he could have done a much better job by not inducing a line over durring set up. Had he practiced the set up to identify the possible issues? Did he have a GC that could check and verifly his set up prior to launch? Or did he "knucklehead" it. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  17. Personally I'd like to find a forum as good as this for Paragliding, but I think if these forums draw more non-skydivers the noise to signal ratio will become so painful to the point of disinterest by those that have value to contribute. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  18. I've got neon pink. What?! ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  19. No, it's not right. The landing area is just that. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  20. Ditto. But do start making yourself familiar with what 2500 looks like compared with 5000. That's not too difficult. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  21. Amazing, simply amazing. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  22. Did a memorial day weekend actually pass at TF with no major incidents? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  23. I like my Infinity's for their bullet proof flaps. The main flap never comes open, the reserve riser covers are perfect. I've owned a Mirage and it too is a top notch rig, great protection, and super attention to detail and construction. Hands down however, all the Infinity's I've owned have had the most comfortable harness I've ever worn. I have had custom fit rigs from 5 manufacturers and the Infinty still tops them. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  24. FX. Edit: both.....real jump, FX explosion. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  25. 'ello there! Can I come play? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
