  1. It's pretty funnysad how only one person got the point. The "look at me" attitude, is crap. Next time someone gets busted, and looses $2500 in gear, think about it. Next time someone who shouldn't be jumping goes in and brings heat, think about it. Next time there is a new law passed against base jumping, think about it. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  2. I pack my risers the opposite way, and also have never had a problem. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  3. It can't. I suggest you look at one of the rigs. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  4. No, it's not. It just takes a hell of alot more time cutivating a relationship with one than people are willing to invest these days. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  5. ...seeing BASE video on YouTube. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  6. and the other one owned by Joe is down in San Diego. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  7. Most if not all of those have been coverted to Vistaliners. http://www.vistaliner.com/ ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  8. That would be wasome. ANyone heard anything about it yet? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  9. Saw it over the 10 Freeway while out on my Scooter yesterday.
  10. I do struggle with making myself understood vs. being an annoying inflammatory ass, don't I? I do try, but sometimes I'm a bit to passionate. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  11. Yes it does happen. For real. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  12. I heard it prevents athletes foot. I learned that from GravityGirl when she heard I was moving down to Perris. Ain't she the best? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  13. Who's bringing the "Head and Shoulders"? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  14. I think Infinity has had it avaliable for a couple few years now. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  15. Actually more freefall is bad for newbies. PCA's or staticline jumps are not permitted at BD. The landing area is retaredly small for newbies. Hell it's small for a Pro Rated skydiver. Nothing good about putting a stopwatch on a jumper and making him/her feel the pressure to get off fast. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  16. Allowing first time jumpers at BD is fucking retarded. And yeah, he can be considered "first time" based on the ridiculous length between jump 1 and 2. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  17. I want it to grow the way it did when I first started learning about it. Mentors, and putting in dues. Tagging along to ground crew with no intent of jumping. That means more than once. Reading the fatality reports, and understanding them. Learning something about gear, and knowing when you don't know enough. Learning ethics at a Denny's late night after GCing. Respecting those that were jumping the local objects before you. For the most part, BASE training courses are becoming the death of this sport. In short, no. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  18. Hmmm... I disagree. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  19. Ask the "Gambler" about cold water. Oh, wait. You can't. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  20. THe station you're getting your information from is NOT located at or near the exit point. Obviously the conditions were not safe for jumping, why would you say they were? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  21. You had a reserve with a mesh slider? What was it? And is that the standard it would be sold with? AFAIK PD reserves have ported sliders, not mesh, unless something has changed. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  22. I'd never heard of the 2 AAD system, as I knew it, they used to use FXC's on the mains, and then switched to Cypres on the reserves. To my line of thinking, 2 AAD's on seperate canopies is ASKING for a two out scenario. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  23. As to the hanger swoop, Tim is a pretty damed experienced canopy pilot and was attempting a stunt that went wrong. Good on him, and that's what comes sometimes from pushing the edge. Of course Tim does's seem to find and go over that edge alot. As to the two goofballs sucking it down on a freefly jump? I'm guessing they're pretty inexperienced, so yeah, it appears to be a pretty dumbassed thing to do. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  24. Exactly the problem I have with how "accessable" this sport has become. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  25. If you're gonna runs a DZ with them, then buy the PAC's. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
