Muslims Burn Poppies in London, England
diablopilot replied to skydiver604's topic in Speakers Corner
I don't believe I commented on birthplace OR citizenship. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously. -
Muslims Burn Poppies in London, England
diablopilot replied to skydiver604's topic in Speakers Corner
Muslim, Christian, Jewish, or whatever, anyone with that little tack and respect for others really should be shown the door. Accepting the benefit of residence in a country and then turning around and spitting in their host's face, well one can understand the hostile attitude towards them. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously. -
Have I told you I love you lately? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

A day in the life of a DZO
diablopilot replied to tbellopa-c's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Shoot, I must be behind the times, because I thought a good DZ was one with an airplane and shade for packing. P.S. What are the seven words a DZO most loves to hear? "You know what you ought to do?" ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously. -
So lemme guess, You lent your parachute to Dick Cheney, and he went pheasant hunting? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Sure seems busy to me.

SAT to accelerated spin/stall.

Nice! ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously. -
I got 1/3rd of the way in and realized that the author was a foaming at the mouth wackjob, who if originally on the left end of the spectrum, had lost their marbles, and focus. Use the US military in the US against it's OWN citizens? Now who's a raving lunatic? The rest seems to be hate, racism, and bigotry, and ain't those just the things that the left spews about? What rabid hypocrisy. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Ditto what he said. And an additional component to that lesson is the experience over a LONG time and a GREAT number of jumps/flights, is that when the best do fall, their experience is often what causes them to be injured INSTEAD of killed. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

And that's the last thought that has gone through the mind of half a dozen people a year for the last 30 years. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

It's from the visual and feel of the deployment. On a skyhook deployment on a tandem (which these all were) I never leave the vertical, and the snivel period is non existent. On the ones where it did not operate as expected, it did pull the pin but the skyhook was disengaged from the bridle after that. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
-
Sounds like it worked. One should never assume the Skyhook will be the device pulling the freebag off the reserve, just as one should never assume that the RSL will pull the pin. They are all backups and the skydive and deployments should be planned accordingly. In 14 Skyhook equipped rides, I've had the Skyhook do the job of deploying the reserve 12 times. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

I'd have something witty to say here, except turtle owned this one. I think he ought to savor the glory on this one.... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Stop making it sound so simple. You'll scare people. For the record, I'm +1 to what turtle said. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Scam allert - Wingsuit Coaches/Instructors etc
diablopilot replied to mccordia's topic in Wing Suit Flying
This feels like DeJaVu..... "Pot meet Kettle". Shit, Glenn if you put half the hot air that spews from your mouth, into the wings of your suit, you might get more than 90 seconds from 14K. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously. -
1200 HMA Lines on Precision Tandem Canopies ??
diablopilot replied to Skydive2's topic in Tandem Skydiving
I love it. Openings are great and I think it improves the flight and flare of the canopy. Looking at between 600 and 800 jumps. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously. -
That'd be my bet. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Bingo. What he said. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
