Name something that smells funky, but you'll eat it anyway.

Kimchi ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously. -
Nice work Mike. I think I've let you know personaly not only how much I respect your work, but how much it inspires me. See you soon. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

I've been a radio mix show DJ. I've ridden a 200 mile bike race. Twice. I have restored 3 cars older than 1930. I've operated a steam engine (train). I dream in color. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

SVHW is going to be an exciting project, but will probably not appeal to skydivers so much. It is going to be a single peice 11 ft by 9 ft tube, with both the controler and instructor in the chamber. The training facility will be a seperate building with the tunnel a stand alone unit. It should be a 2 motor recirculating design. It's gonna look great but be small..... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Ditto. VSE makes the single nicest riser in the business right now. The Pin risers from RWS make it hard to get many stainless gromet sliders down, and the pins can be knocked free... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Travel the world with tandems?
diablopilot replied to lazaryu's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
The big problems you'lkl run into is you may have to pick up a rating for each country you visit, and you'll have to figure out how to be legal to work in each country. Otherwise, if you don't mind Ramen Noodle, staying in dives, and working your ass off....it will be some of the most fun times ever.... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are.

It's been one hell of a ride.
diablopilot replied to mjosparky's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Don't MAKE me come back to California! Even if you say you're hanging it up, you'll be a skydiver forever.....I value the jumps and conversations we have had and those to come. Folks, spending an afternoon listening to Sparky tell stories is a good investment.....and entertainment. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are.

You do realize that was a spoof right? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Ditto. No device will save you from yourself in this sport in the long run. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

How much unstowed line do you leave when packing a main?
diablopilot replied to ernokaikkonen's topic in Gear and Rigging
Bingo. Doubtful. Ask Sparky, he's been using one for some time. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously. -
I don't think center stows make much of a difference. I do like the split bag however. I do think that on a rig with shorter risers where the links don't make it well down into the main tray, that 15" or less of slack line increases the chance of linetwists, and/or a hang up on the reserve container. Well designed main flaps, and risers long enough to suit the container, should allow in my opinion one to use up to but not exceeding 24" of slack line. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are.

I wish I had the money, time and more importantly the skill for an experience like this.... Good luck dude, and safe journies.....hope you write about it..... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Yes. The Mirage G4 is avaliable with a center locking stow (which also serves to hold the split bag shut) as well as a center finishing stow. There may be others I'm forgeting. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Isnt that kinda like Locking a Couple of Foxes in the Chicken Coop and saying.. Hey.. Guard those Chickens?? You're not looking at the big picture here...... you win both ways.....if you're dealers are "using" too much, that's just as entertaining! ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
-
Make Beth and Gia your "dealers". Then make people do funny, and humiliating things to "earn" one. Edit, the dollar thing is cool too.... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

But then Rick would have to be her brother. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Will it fit? Probably with the right rigger.... Is it suposed to? No. Don't do it. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
-
Probably not untill that person shows the ability to do a controled two way. Ask an IBA rated instructor what thatmight entail. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Liverpool is great! My mother's from there and I love the city and surounding area..... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

What are your thoughts on Pilatus Porter aircraft?
diablopilot replied to McDirt's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Expensive to buy, expensive parts, expensive to repair, expensive to insure, easy for a novice pilot to ground loop. Think about a PAC750. For not too much more than the purchase price of a used Porter, you can have more capacity, less overhead costs, less operating costs, and a larger payload. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
