  1. Ditch that helmet. It's got limited protection and it's a snag hazzard. A protec is 20 bucks. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  2. Since we generaly suggest newer jumpers continue to use RSL's I think the Racer is a pretty poor suggestion for a first rig. IMO the Infinity by VSE is a great rig of course. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  3. Naw, it's keeping your food down for more than 15 minutes after eating at the "Clock". ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  4. I've just wondered what the "air" is suposed to be for on a "dry" canopy. Thanks for your views. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  5. What in your opinion does airing the canopy do for it? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

  7. Love ya Beezy. Take care, k? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  8. Its a swoop competition so they weren't out of line by saying that. I've said it many a time, when the swooping is out of control. We had an ambulance on stand by at the DZ when we had one. Sorry he died but he if take the extra risks by swooping... j Rudeness is always out of line. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  9. I mean I see too many AFF instructors giving turn by turn commands to AFF students from the 1st jump through Cat's E, F, G.....etc. Studensts should be capable of landing with no assistance what so ever. I mean batteries fail, radios are left off, reception is spotty........ Too many are using them as a crutch. I tell each of my students I'll check in with them after I land, and then only give corrections if they are not flying their plan. I also try to get them to give up the radio by their 4th jump or so. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  10. My hat's off to Jim! He's a great guy and has time to take to listen and help just about anyone! ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  11. I meant Radios are a crutch for AFF instructors who are unwilling to invest the time and energy in training their studnets correctly. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  12. Radios are a crutch. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  13. "Life. No one get out alive." ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  14. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  15. Peace my friend. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  16. It happened again my friend, just like when someone spanked you for my birthday, someone called me to...... well, let's just say, I hope you're in a better place. My love to you and your family, peace, and freedom. These are the words I think of when someone I care about moves on...... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  17. This sucks. I want the list. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  18. How 'bout those that choose to jump of fixed objects with parachutes stop being EMO pansies who can't deal with their friends being talked about after their death. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  19. Contact a dealer, it's what they do. I'd suggest Action Air, Gravity Gear or Square 1. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  20. In the interest of safety, any details? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  21. I find one of them to be cheerful every time I've met them. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  22. I'll chime in for my old home DZ, SkyDance in Davis, CA.
  23. If you do not think there is value in learning from the mistakes made by others, then I think you're missing something. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  24. Maggot's too ficking "ninga" to go in! ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  25. I started SCUBA about 2 years ago and it still scares me way more than skydiving ever did. I think it's because the dangers are not as visible. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
