  3. Boy! What fun we had.... 38 jumps 3 caravan loads, and these are not even the "good" night jumps of the year yet!

Seriously.
  4. On the DZ. 42 steps to my office. 54 to my Gear room. 58 to the beer fridge (got to fix that). ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  5. I caught it...was interesting, and a little scary. One man could exert his influence on a country like that.... Makes me scared of people like Tony Robbins (motivational speaker) Edit to say: And politions in general. Soemone once said those that desire to lead, shouldn't. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

  15. You know I agrree with skymedic. Sniping a product deserves an explaination. Flightline applied for and recived a TSO for their efforts. The managed to convince the governing body (FAA) the the device functioned properly, and was built to specific standards. I happen to think it works well. I welcome people to disagree with that opinion, however I they should be willing to explain themselves. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  16. There is a difference between having reasonable confidence in your reserve functioning, and using it when it may not be warranted. If I had that kind of faith, I wouldn't need a reserve, just a main I trusted 100%. Doesn't exist. I've chopped once, when I was a student. That means I have a pretty good track record with main canopies (i.e. 1 mal in 2200jumps) Most over 1.6, and many over 2.0). However I am not ready to give up that reserve on my back. These are valid criteria for making a decision about a malfunction. These are not. Each jumper should make a decision about their abilities. I happen to agree that most jumpers that say they would be unwilling to land on rears for a broken brakeline (with a controlable canopy otherwise) have not explored their canopy's ranges yet. Please notice that I did not say ALL jumpers. I have little experience on CReW canopies, however I believe I would still land the lightnings I've jumped on risers if needed. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  17. The PIMA rocks! However the Boneyard at Davis-Monthan is no longer avaliable as a walking tour. Now you have to get on a chartered bus tour at the PIMA. Nice trip, but is always booked weeks in advance, so call ahead....I'll try to find the info if I can remember. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  18. It will start sometime after 7pm and end just after 10pm. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  19. Its wierd, but everyone I work with, constantly talks about skydiving! Sometimes I wish they would shut up! ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  20. That's where the demos come in my friend! I swear by my 93 (custom size) but have flown both the 98 and 108. Gotta play! I didn't check, but are you on the list for Perris Memorial Day? I'll have some demos..... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  21. *jumping up and down* NOT ME!!!!!! ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  22. Not really true. The retail price for a Velocity is $2283, the retail price of a 21cell Xaos is $2198, and the retail price for a 27cell Xaos (IMO the nicest canopy I've ever flown) is $2498. How did you arive at your prices? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  23. Going to drive down Wednsday evening....be there around Midnight (I hope) ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
