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

    Really? And for just how long has every other manufacturer been successfully using tuck tabs? Try to look for the truth inside the hype. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    So Palestine is 1,000 miles from Afghanistan - that's nothing. I mean, there's only Jordan, Iraq and Iran between them. I expect they communicate easily using can-and-string telephones. And Afghans are Arabs, right? (You'd think people who post rubbish would be embarrassed when their ignorance pointed out). Please reference this post later when you want the definition of the word: Irony. Pot. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Yeah, you're right. She is a total wackjob, but she's got great hair. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Maybe a reason to go with a different style of helmet? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Why did it come off your head? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    I'm not saying Ray Ferrell is full of BS, but in his May letter to the editor at Parachutist, he says "A properly rated instructor could safely teach someone to jump a wingsuit on his first jump." I would tend to disagree (just a little bit)with that statement. I think you missed his point. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Those are not flip flops. And I like these better. Listen. Be a "good" bottom, and do as you're told. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Need a "lift"? Here. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Are retarded. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  11. diablopilot
    The view from the helmet cam will be rather shitty what with the user's head that far up their ass. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Check back with me on that after you get a few more years time in grade. Really? How about you check back when ever any of your experience is CURRENT. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    And THAT is one of the worst wordings ever to come out of the FAR's. Someone should really be trying to change the term to "student parachutist", because if the FAA EVER really begins to believe that they are "passengers"......... we're fucked. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  14. diablopilot
    Yeah ... FALSE PRIDE. And you haven't left the country, why? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Bill I think there is a point here. There is a certain "Pride in America" that is being left behind more and more. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    If the kill line AND apex support tapes ALL broke, then the P/C would indeed streamer. To the OP. Well done. My students are trained if it doesn't pass a control check by their hard deck, then get rid of it. Maximum amount of correction for safe flight is no more than one toggle pulled down to ear level. That said, I'm still going to say well done, you landed safely and kept your wits about you.

    I'll put even money it's just Robin with an alias. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Except that neither of you has paid your dues in this area. John isn't a skydiving instructor, and neither of you has the CURRENT experience under the multitude canopy designs and loadings that I would consider needed to advise this jumper on the sensibility of his choice, ESPECIALLY given the lack of first hand knowledge of the situation. MY assessment of this thread is influenced by my desire to not keep having to drag broken novices from the landing area. Flame away. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    No matter how hot she THINKS she is, somewhere somebody is sick of her shit. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Vladi's got some big brass ones........ ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    You left an aircraft in flight intending to land with a parachute didn't you? I think you'll find that it comes down to opinion mostly. You're is probably the most valid one. I'll add one caveat: They count as jump numbers of course, how ever I wouldn't count them towards the requirements of a USPA license. (Actually I'd probably be ok with them to satisfy the numbers for a 'C' or 'D') ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  22. diablopilot
    I'll add the overuse of "Basically" to start every sentence is pretty annoying. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  23. diablopilot
    Cue sarcasm. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  24. diablopilot
    You know, following the logic of your post, pretty soon you'll have to get an FAA certificate to pack a main. After all, a non-certified individual could pack themselves a line over. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  25. diablopilot
    Maybe you should be teaching them how to do it properly. See above. Oh, I see. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
