  1. Yep. Some things just don't need improvement. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  2. Pot meet kettle. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  3. I do to, and I've even misrigged it one and caused myself a mal. It ads too much risk to not take care of it myself IMO. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  4. It's a seperate (secondary) flap. Looks as if it's an exension of the reserve flap. The primary riser covers are of the more conventional type tucking from the outside of the shoulder, in, while the secondarys go from the inside towards the outside. It protects the riser for it's entire length, while not inhibiting deployment. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  5. Got proof? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  6. A collapsed slider and a small hole mesh slider will produce very different amounts of drag. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  7. http://www.velocityrigs.com/products.php?product=infinity&sub=features&film=2&flmpos=2 These are the best designed primary and secondary covers on the market. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  8. I have. I suggest you re-read the FAR's. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  9. They guy that hits me up for spare change outside the local MCDonald's everyday makes more than I do. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  10. This guy. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  11. Have I heard of a Sabre used as a reserve? Yes? Was it legal? Nope. Not so sure I'd want a ZP reserve. When ZP fails, it fails in a big way. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  12. I'm thinking they shouldn't let the door hit 'em on the ass on the way out of the States. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  13. The best thing you can do is jump. With lots of people. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  14. Let ya know how it worked out next week. Might have to substitute a V-tail Bonanza for the 6th 152, it's down for anual. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  15. OUCH! ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  16. Yup. Love me the night jumps. 60+ and counting. Swooped, done 10 way, jumped a tube, done CRW......
  17. It's a WHAT?! Fucking moronic sheep. I vote for here:http://www.castleairport.merced.ca.us/ IT's only got one runway though. 11,000+ ft long. Good museum too:http://www.elite.net/castle-air/ ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  18. Not that I wouldn't love to get paid more, but I disagree with your logic. Whether gas is $50/gallon or free and whether I'm packing a $10000 rig or a $800 one, my overhead costs as a rigger/packer are no different, so why would the cost of a pack job increase exponentially with no increase in overhead costs? Cost of living increase. IN the 9 years I've been skydiving packers have only recently started making a bit more per pack job. OTH jump ticket prices have gone up about 25%. As for a $10000 rig, well you can't pack tandems as fast as you can pack small sport rigs so those should pay more. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  19. Packing for others does NOT require the packer to hold a riggers ticket. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  20. Cord. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  21. Out of the three canopies listed there, I would take the Triathlon hands down. It's going to have much better performance over it's lifespan as it's a ZP canopy and the other two are not. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  22. Been there, done that. What else ya got? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  23. She's not Scottish. She's Australian. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  24. No problem. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  25. Do a search, talked about alot after the incident. Xaos 21 would be a good keyword. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
