  1. Yes. My skydiving gear is worth about 15 times what I paid for my car. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  2. Open or "dynamic" corners are in no way needed for succesful use of a wingsuit, or clean deployments with one. They also have the tendancy to make rigs look bulky, bulging, and generaly messy if the wrong canopy sizes are stuffed in. My advice is don't bother with them. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  3. Seems like a mellow guy...... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  4. Really? I hadn't noticed. So where do those hook thingies on her harness go. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  5. I'd ask Jim Wallace. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  6. Single piece suits really are the way to go. Less hassle. Flite Suit/Bomber is a top notch suit. It's all I jump, or tunnel fly in. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  7. I would swear to god that you know just about everything, but then I don't believe in his/her existence. Poi-fect sentiment. I love it. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  8. You're not jealous I'm spending the night with your boyfriend? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  9. Grant is good looking, but not my type, and I'd show you a picture of my unicorn but he went out to buy groceries. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  10. We start at 4. Now hush and watch me look cool. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  11. Are you scared of Thomas' English Muffins, too? YES! and penguins. I got bit by a penguin. Yeah. Those penguins seem to have it out for you, huh? Sorry, I'll be serious now. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  12. Huh. You said "crannies". ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  13. Hey! I'm trying to be serious here. Cant you see this serious face I'm making? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  14. You're seriously in danger of seriously becoming seriously serious. Stop it. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  15. The X mod is the shiznit, but why not just buy the Xaos....that's what you end up with. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  16. I mean it. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  17. Did someone ask for help? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  18. http://manifestmaster.com/parachutist/big1970_10.jpg Nice swoop.
  19. It's going to depend on the lineset contryction and materials. I got over 900 out of one of my last linesets, it was non-cascaded HMA, and when replaced was withing 1/4" of trim specs. Cascaded vectran IMO should be changed before 600 jumps, most cascaded HMA withing 300, however there is alot of research going on in that department right now. No matter what line type or size or type of canopy it is a very smart idea to replace control lines every 300 jumps or less. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  20. Ditto. Burble checks are probably best left to students. Ditto. Well except when I deploy on my back. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  21. Got 300 wingsuit jumps on Xaos 27's. No problems. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  22. 1 to say "I like pie" ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  23. You can't go. I thought you had cramps. Have fun.
  24. Things to consider: 1) you have the property owners permission (assumed) 2) It's pretty much non-restricted airspace (i.e. not right next to an airfield, military base, city, whatever.) 3) You can safely get out of the door. Is it a 206U? Does it have a door over the step only, or is there one to the rear of that on the right side? Regular doors can be tricky to exit. Much attention should be paid to handles, and the pilot may need to help by "slipping" the A/C a bit. Be careful. The 206 is rated for door off flight. ADDING an in flight jump door would need an STC however. 4) The pilot, if recieving compensation needs to be comercialy rated. This may be likely since you say he owns a Lear. Compensation would be considered pay, paying for the fuel, and the like. The hours he adds would probably NOT be considered compensation as this is not a regular business or club, and probably because he really doesn't need them (remeber, he's got a Lear.) You could always invite me alond as an unpaid consultant. (Yeah, I'm in CO now.
