Yeah, no one has a sense of humor anymore..... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

I'll get flamed for this but....... what a dumb thing to do. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Exactly the point I was trying to make. Door removal is not always required. Even on a Bonanza "V" tail. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

What? C'mon man....you're being a BASE Nazi! Hey I just got my "A" licence, and they won't let me jump what I want at the DZ, so fuck 'em.... I'll show them, I just got a new Credit card and signed up for a BASE FJC, and oh yeah you gotta see the bling bling rig with custom embroidery I ordered. I'm gonna be a phat ass BASE jumper. Anyone know where I can order a "Mentor" and how much they cost? DO they come in cool colors, 'cause if I can't match it to my rig I don't want one. How much are pack jobs anyway? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

I'm pretty sure that is not a requirement to jump an aircraft legaly. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Yes, but they have cutesy comercials. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

The Goldmember has a far lower chance of failure (unintentional camera release) and is designed specificaly for the application. That said, I use a 6 cent hex screw to hold my cameras to my helmet. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

That might seem to be obvious at first, but it's not true. A single blade sharpened on both sides of the blade edge set at a steep diagonal angle is the best bet. The problems with the dual blade system (especialy in the "JacK" knife -the's real name BTW) is that material gets jammed in between the two blades. It's a bigger problem when the frame they are contained in is flexible (such as the plastic "Jack" knife) and allows gapping between the blades. A secondary problem is the fact for the dual blade knife to work, the blades can only be ground on one side of the blade edge, and that means the can be installed incorrectly. The designer of the "Raptor" knew this but chose not to combat peoples assumptions that "Two is better than one". Nicest all around for cost and usefulness IMO is the Syare One PolyCarbonate 4" knife.... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Got to work?: Yes. In an office?: No. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

There are several different designs on the market depending on manufacturer, and some are far better than others. The nicest IMO are the ones made using a slotted peice of aluminum pipe inside the pillow. They have a good "feel", are easy to get a grip on, securly hold the swedge when pulled, and most importantly allow the cable to "slip" when the harness is flexed like "D" ring handles do. VSE (Infinity) was the firt rig I encountered this handle with, I believe Mirage and RWS also use it too. I think Sunpath is using the "mini" d ring inside a pillow design that I saw them using a year or two ago. Perviously Sunpath had a design with a plastic stiffner in it which if not cut accurately could trap the swage at the bottom of the handle, risking extracting the pin when the harness was flexed (fortunately I'd only seen it hapen on the ground). They quickly re-engineered things when the problem was encountered. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Oh, c'mon.... she's just a figment of everyone's imagination anyway....... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Uhg. That's not a fun job, and I've never had to string a WHOLE net for the first time, just a few cables at a time.... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

What do you wish to do in the tunnel? What do you think of when you say "tunnel suit" ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

What?! I'm chopped liver? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

There is nothing angelic about that picture....nothing at all......infact I believe that was the start of the trouble making....... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

She's trouble? She told me she was an angel. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

So, how many spanking, young lady? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Guy I went to elementry school with....Christopher Butlik. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Now, now.....he does state, he doesn't jump camera. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Yes. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

I disagee. They both show wear. The confusing comes from people not knowing what to look for, which is to be expected whenever new technology hits the market... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

But then we'd get all wet! ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Yes. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Nice! Was getting worried. Walked into the Bombshelter the other night, yelled "Hey Asshole!" and got nothing but stares...... weirdos! Glad there's still some sanity in the world...... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

(The new generation seems to have missed out on this......) ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
