  1. As for the first mal, on what I would assume was a rig you rented, yeah, I think you were obligated to pay for the reserve ride, not so much because you packed it, but because you rented it. As for the tandem rigs, tell him to forget it. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  2. What's your deal? Are you trying to keep things light, simple and low profile? You've got alot to learn.... 1500 video jumps using only thumbscrews....yeah I ought to get a start somewhere. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  3. Agreed. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  4. My guess (after talking to the head of the build crew) is that the only difference most flyers will notice is the size. 11ft by 9ft I believe, and it's a nice chamber! I'm imagining there will be more than enough power for the reduced volume of air. As a plus one of the best instructors I've had the pleasure of working with is going to be there. Congrats Steven! ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  5. Your article states that Airbus chose to delay production without informing UPS, and it appears from the other article that UPS chose to cancel orders because of that. Airbus bit off more than they could chew on this one. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  6. Hell is being subjected to drunken Japanese Karaoke. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  7. Long after humankind has become a bug on the windshield of the universe. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  8. Thumb screws are still only about $0.15 at Home Depot or Lowes. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  9. Oh goodie. AN expert, just what we needed. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  10. That is really not much different from flat flyers turning 180 from center when breaking off. Break off's in those situations are planed at apropriate altitudesfor that reason. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Rounds...

    With the appropriately sized round I'm sure you could land it safely on dry ground. The descent rate of the 22 ft I jumped was a bit too high for comfort. The BASE specific rounds in production today are even smaller. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  12. . I hate #56. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Rounds...

    I did just this for BD last year....was one of the most rewarding BASE jumps I've made. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  14. Sure, as there are only 2 motors/fans. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  15. So you're going to say that because of lack of prior organization and planing and insufficient skill level, those low skill jumpers should be tasked with conducting an on heading full speed track barrel roll? I'll let the obviousness of that scenario point it's self out. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  16. Looking foward to seeing ya up at The Ranch! ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  17. Never said that, in fact I agreed with it. Suck is absolutly the wrong term to use when discussing then phenomina. Can you get sucked into a cloud from the side? The top? And you're the one who waltzed in with attitude. Chill. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  18. Does that mean you deleted me? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  19. We are long past the time anyone should be doing these "zoo" dives. Plan the dive, and dive the plan. If you can't then the skill level for the dive is not high enough. No matter the "zoo-y-ness", size, or complexity of the dive, everyone on the dive should know where to go on break off. If a smaller dive, all jumpers should be able to account for the position of all others prior to break off, and on larger dives there should be a break off plan discussed prior to boarding the A/C. "Break at 5" is not good enough anymore. Barrel Rolls while tracking waste valuable altitude and separation. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  20. You really missed the point. If clouds "suck" where does the stuff they "suck" go? Dude, stop trying to act important. It's not impressive. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  21. Clouds don't suck. Air temps can cause changes in pressure, which can cause masses of air to move, but clouds don't suck. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  22. Absolutely. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  23. Welcome to DZ.com ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  24. Get over yourself. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  25. Agreed. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
