  1. It is not SkyRide. It is something that the USPA is considering. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  2. It's ok, she's pretty anyway... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  3. What, are you on the payroll or something? He would have landed uneventfully. If he hadn't had a SkyHook, and he pulled low, he might of been able to land his main, he might have had a two out, and he might have still died, but for you to ignore the simple fact that a SkyHook GREATLY increases the complexity of the reserve system is irresponsible. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  4. Well, how else should some agencies/bureaucrats justify their existence? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  5. For HD, short barrel, keep a stock on it, add a shell carrier, ghost ring sights, and a tactical light. If you want to spend a bit more, a Vang Comp barrel looks like a good option. For a bird gun, buy a second long barrel 870, they are cheap enough at Big 5, or splurge and by a Benelli. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  6. When you start working here legally, and stop working under the table, then you get a say. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  7. and I count 14 ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  8. Before I answer the question, I'll put it to you again.... what would have happened after the TI pulled low, and scared his AAD if he had not had a SKyHook equipped rig? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  9. I love how you will ignore facts to suit your case.... so the incident may have started with a TI being low, but what would have happened if he HADN'T had a SKyHook on the rig? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  10. What about the NC tandem fatality? And they really are not that much faster than a standard reserve deployment, again...it's alot of hype. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  11. That's your opinion. I'd argue differently for most of the skydiving (other than tandems) that I do. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  12. Interesting. The definition might need to be re-evaluated, since the function of a crossbrace is to transfer some of the load from the base of a load baring rib to the top of a non load bearing rib.
  13. It adds complexity to the system. I jump video. I don't like any of the rigs it's available on (except the Sigma). I'm irritated by the hype. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  14. Karma is a muthafucka isn't it. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  15. Yep, and we couldn't get it to work worth a shit. Now when the CHP jumper brought out his patrol unit and the laser..... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  16. What he said. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  17. Funny enough, I've been one. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  18. 2nd day.... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  19. Can it be all three at once? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  20. I wish I could pour gasoline on this website and burn it to the ground. Best. Post. Ever. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  21. Know a few guys who did static line jumps from 26K and 30K.
  22. No. It's a violation of FAR part 91.205 (b)(1) to operate it in that condition. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  23. First thing I tell tandem students in my class is that while what they are doing is both fun and exciting, it is not a ride and they need to take an interest in participating in their safety. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  24. I believe that skydiving is very dangerous, and it is only with constant vigilance, focus to the task at hand, and preparation that I keep the risk manageable. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  25. Lodi doesn't give a fuck. If you were at a DZ where I worked, I'd have you show me EP's, landing patterns, and probably go make a fun jump with ya. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
