A bit optimistic there,aren't you? Maybe the next 2 combined might have a chance Still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest....

I remember reading about someone else lighting up under canopy on a sunset load. Personally, I just can't see doing that. I think I'll wait til I land first Still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest....

Lisa, I personally value your advice and others from here as well. Personally, I am very cautious about everythign I do in skydiving. HELL, I turned down an invite to do a 4 way once cause it was the first time I was jumping and packing a 9 cell. I take what everyone has to say and filter it all to make my own decisions. Without yours, that's one less HONEST and unbiased opinion I can count on Still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest....

REally STUPID QUESTION. Trophy for what? Still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest....

Ahhh..... But here's the REAL problem isn't it? And where do people get these notions? Are you trying to say that hatred and intolerance for your fellow man is NATURE? OR is it a learned trait (NURTURE)? I think I need a boobie while I ponder this.... Still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest....

HERE HERE!!!!!!! It's them damned Women's fault for not giving up their BOOBIES!!!! Still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest....

Tell me I'm smoking too much crack, make fun of me or whatever, but I firmly believe that it's a lack of Tolerance for other people's opinions and beliefs that make this world a fucked up place. Why should someone else have More of a right to tell me I'm wrong because of what politics are best, which canopy I have to jump, who I can sleep with, etc.... To each his own. What may be right for you is EXACLTY that, RIGHT for YOU.... Still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest....

Ain't that the truth!!!! Still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest....

If ya wanna be technical, SINCE 1951 but......... Still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest....

WE could get a Happy meal from Mikkie D's Still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest....

hmmmmm... Manuel Noriega comes to mind...... Who else? Yeah, we have a LONG history of meddling in other countries affairs to in the name of "DEMOCRACY" Guatemala 1954 Iran 1953 Chile 1971 Still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest....

GEEZ, Don't check the boards for a few days And ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE....... And YES, I was there as well, will attest to EVERYTHING that Landmissile stated and not only that, but agree with him as well. I was sitting at the SAME table and heard it all. To sum it all up, Attached is an e-mail I received and replied to from Terri . The way it was relayed to me, Marc was more concerned about the Crossfire's safety issues. I have no idea if this were actually what was said between the two of them, so I only responded to my friends concerns. I WROTE: Es possible...... hmmmm were you on AOL or Yahoo? I was on Yahoo for a bit but didn't see you. AS for the Crossfire.... First off, every single person you have talked to will give you a different opinion. Your job is to take into account everyone's opinion, filter and process all this information, taking into account experience levels, how well you know the person and how well they know you, and FORM YOUR OWN OPINION. Yes, there have been issues with certain crossfires, but as you will learn from experience, Manadatory bulletins and maintenence on canopies and containers are a fact of life. Did you know that Raven reserves are under a mandatory bulletin by the manufacturer? Do you know what reserves you have been jumping? Ahhh.... didn't think so. Do a search for Crossfire in the safety forum. There was QUITE a bit of discussion about the Crossfire when the problems were first being noticed. There was a mandatory recall for some and a mandatory reline for others while some were unaffected. As a side note, and I'm not trying to say that (NAME WITHELD) is the be all end all, but he is S&TA (you do know what that means, right?) but I would respect(NAME WITHELD) opinion more than some guy I've never jumped with nor met. (NAME WITHELD) would also be aware of any problems with canopies and I am confident he would NOT recommend one to you if he wasn't sure you were safe. Also, take into account that you are very lightly loading ANY canopy you are jumping. BTW, do you know how to calculate your wing loading? What is your wingloading on the Crossfire 169 AND the Omega 189? BUT I would still take into account that Marc is a skydiver and his opinions have been formed by similar means. Take it with a grain of salt. Listen, don't ignore an opinion, use them all to make your own opinion.
