    I wanna start this, anyone think of a way to fund it? "Society for Aesthetic Deletion" (Heinlein fans might get it) ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    I think it's luck of the draw. The same turbulence that affects the straght in, could hit just intime to fold your canopy up just as you are bottoming out your recovery arc. I think when it's time to stand down, it's time to stand down. "Swoopist"? Hmmm.....I guess I qualify. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    I like McCain, but more to the point, I've thought for a while that public office should be a duty and assigned much like Jury Duty. Can't be much worse than what we got now, and somewhere way back in history, someone once said "Those that wish to lead, shouldn't". ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    That could be because you have no respect of the ideals of personal freedom. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Personally I think booing or degrading the opposition is in poor taste and wholly against the ideals of "sportsmanship". But I object to any legislation forbidding it. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Are you retarded? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Ok, this is sick and wrong, but I gotta know..... did she do a "taste test"? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Who cares? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    He's a lucky bastard. She on the other hand sure is taking on alot! ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    What's wrong with them? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    IIRC Sunpath still uses the plastic inserts, IMO not as effective as the metal hard housings. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Yes. It's a simple preventative measure to a possible scary situation. See VSE and the top notch risers they build if you need some. www.velocityrigs.com ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    I don't think that is entirely acurate. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  14. diablopilot
    I disagree. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  15. diablopilot
    Yep. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    No one actually jumps, they just talk about it here. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    The openings on the 27 are just a bit less on heading as consistantly for me than they were on the 21. The most perfect Crossbraced I've ever jumped. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    It's fine. Is it the answer to the problem? No. Proper harness adjustment and student selection is still paramount, no matter how many extra straps there are. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  19. diablopilot
    Not as ridiculous as you might think. There is a huge number of riggers that refuse to pack a certain 2 pin rig. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Paramedic's shears are cheap as hell (I get 'em free) and work wonders. Ever seen how well a Paramedic is able to destroy a jumpsuit and or rig when they are first to an accident? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  21. diablopilot
    I was refering to the Xaos line in general, although I still prefer the openings on my 27cell 98 to anything else I've jumped. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  22. diablopilot
    No, that's pretty normal. If you're still a Student doing student levels that's a different story, but if you're being charged slot and rig rental fees, you're usually liable. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  23. diablopilot
    The Xaos 27 is my choice. I started flying the 21 and the 27 when it hit the market was so much more in tune with my 9 cell flying style. It's still the best opening crossbraced canopy on the market. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  24. diablopilot
    Hmmmm, for some reason I had the impression that there was a NEOS used.... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Where will we find information about the Canopy Piloting portion of Nationals? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
