  1. Couldn't happen to a better person. That woman has never been "about the people". ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  2. The tunnel is hard on weak shoulders as well, so as long as she also doesn't have shoulder problems and understands how to let the instructor know if she's experiencing any discomfort, she ought to be just fine! Tell her to smile for the camera and have fun!
  3. With the disappearance of the PC series, what brick shaped cameras are the proTI's putting on their wrists? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  4. Did you try supergluing one foot to the floor? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  5. Thus there is talk of canopy coach rating and people focusing more on it during student status Cheers Dave I thought there was one already? It's called "AFF instructor" ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  6. Know what was funnier? The seminar at the 2003 PIA of the French built "Packing Machine" for thire military rigs. I think I even saw Bill Booth trying to stifle his laughter durring the demonstration. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  7. What a load of bull. A Pull out in no way "trains" someone to ignore their procedures. People have gone in looking for a hackey just as many times. In my experience if anything pull out jumpers are FAR more knowledgeable about their gear than throw out jumpers on a percentage basis. The popular style in the 70's and 80's was the bunny tail, which only jumpshack continues to use anymore. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  8. I think I'm going to start bowling. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  9. I like that idea very much. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  10. I thought we changed the clocks a couple weeks back? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  11. Bill how often do you do 270 or greater degree turns? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  12. Bill, that's the exact problem with a 180. People focus on the landing area instead of checking the airspace about them. If they would check they would see trafic. Get it? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  13. You might be on the verge of getting the point. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  14. There is the same chance of that happening with a throwout. You could always just say you don't know.
  15. Jan, the Infinity pullout also has the velcro addition at the base of the PC. I ahve never felt the act of deploying with my pull out to be different than throw outs I've jumped. Almost 4000 jumps with a pullout ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  16. How did you come up with that term to describe the ummmm....? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  17. Nice thinking! I applaud you and the organizers for doing this! I think this is dangerous however. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  18. I'll bet if you got your nipples pierced first, the belly button wouldn't hurt much at all. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  19. Showing that a pin made frome the proper quality steel can be bent before breaking? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  20. My brain feels like it's swimming right now... you might not want it. To London? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  21. I've jumped an SR71. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  22. I don't think so. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  23. For most jumpers, no. But then most jumpers have never explored the range and capabilities of their parachutes no matter what size they jump. There is a huge difference between a "parachutist/skydiver" and a "canopy pilot" ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
