  1. WTF man! That aside. Good luck I hear the industry is a bit nutty and very difficult to get into. But perhaps you can start small? If any local shops wish to use her in any comercials or adds pro bono. Maybe that will start things. Other than that I dont' know what to say? Good luck, hope things work out.
  2. Have you and Shah been hanging out lately? I see a slight resemblance ... Well other than the shape of your heads. No but it would be cool!
  3. This is very nice, perhaps a sticky needs to me made with such videos? Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!
  4. Sadly when I took my the last canopy course...my right leg was in a few pieces. So I guess I should take it again. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!
  5. Very good idea! Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!
  6. You know guys, picking your brains for advice is not easy. Everything turns into a pissing match it seems. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!
  7. Seen it before haven't you. I've seen it more times than I can count! Girl goes from the nicest person on the planet to some sort of fire breathin man hating sea monster! It's what every dude fears! That cute girl you went out with who looked good and giggled and thought your friends were "cool" Now has developed a taste for butter straight from the tub, thinks all the skinny girls who are your friends have eating disorders, thinks sex once a month is ok, cooks using the microwave, sweat pants and sweat shirts are worn every day....and every night.....and wost of all....she cuts her hair! I think every dude should have a "Get this girl out of my life NOW" card. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

  9. Will do thank you. Is Brian Germain putting out a new video? I'm sure that will be good to check out. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!
  10. Look some people have jobs, are at school or just can't afford to pack up and go south for a week of fun jumps. Yes when it warms up yes take a canpy course. The question was what does one new to the sport do in the dead of winter to have an easier time when it does get nice outside?

  11. Go south where it might be warmer and jump. god that would be so freaking nice! OK I should have said things to do in the cold. SIM IRM? What is that?

  12. Try dong that on a GPZ I love 250's if I the space I would get one! Look the vidoes may not be perfect, but it's better than nothing. I know from the person who's video I'm watching that he's at 1:1 and looking at the flags in the video what the wids are doing. It may not be perfect, but it's better than nothing. So what else do you guys think? Vidoes so so Packing in the living room not bad Tunnel time YES what else
  13. +1! Sorry! Missed that one. Very good. Keep it going.
  14. OK what do you have. It's freaking freezing out there. No place to jump. What do you have? Read Brian Germains books. Partake in Safety Day. Practice PLF from the couch. It's easy to just say no, its harder to have an idea. So shoot
  15. http://news.yahoo.com/s/time/20110203/us_time/08599204587600 Single men are, on the whole, as likely to want to get married as single women, the survey found. They are more likely than women to be open to dating people of a different race or religion, more prone to falling in love at first sight, more eager to combine bank accounts sooner and more likely to want children. (That distant choking sound you hear is thousands of women finding this news hard to swallow.) From the get-go, women are fussier about whom they'll consider for a partner. More men (80%) than women (71%) don't care about the race of a love interest, and many more men (83%) than women (62%) are flexible on their date's religious beliefs. It's not simply, the figures suggest, that guys are more pro-marriage than has been believed; it's that women are less so than the stereotypes would have it. Who knew we single dudes were so freaking fantastic! See I always knew that we guys rocked! I mean between our bro code and ability to piss standing up...but this! HA!

  16. Take the good ones you execute and commit that to memory Ahhhh....beer + memory = what did I do? Did you say mamories? I have to say the little vidoes are better than nothing. I've yet to see anything that works as well. I mean yeah you can close your eyes and think...ok i did this and then i did that.... But simple 30 second video goes a long way. Ok there is the airport, ok wave off. ok look up all looks Square, Stable, Steerable, and the Slider. Ok look around who is there....ok clear ok now to get home...ok looking good. where should I be at this point ok that point and final should be there. What does it look like....ok looks like how i think it looks. line up look around clear ok and as soon as things look like "this" it means it's time to pull those toggles down. Yeah it would be nice if someone did shoot a video in full HD using a very good camera but it's better than nothing.

  17. I'm 34, I have a retirement package, I have a condo...I'm going to have a prenup. Yeah it may not call out "Must have sex 3 times a week" but it will have language rearding the issue. And like any good contract it will be updated as things change. But in a court of contract law, as a dude it's the one and only thing you have on your side.

  18. The way to learn how to land YOUR canopy right as a n00b, is to go land your canopy...a lot. Yes! There is no better way to learn than to do. That is true. My best landings were my last 2 which were made from a hop and pop on the last day of the seaon. But that being said...it doesn't hurt to maybe have a better sight picture. Took me all summer to work that out. And now it's winter and well...I have to rebuild it. Yes the vidoes are far from perfect but it's better than nothing. Just watch the last 30second of any non swoop landing should give the average person where they should be on final and what they should be looking out for and more or less...where they need to start thinking of pulling those toggles to their knees. Remember for you guys with thousands of jumps its not that hard. It's like me getting on a 250 and hitting every apex with out much issue. But I have thousands of hours on the seat of a fat 1100CC bike. For me to say "Oh it's easy" would be disrespectful. Now if I had a video showing how I adjusted my body and moved my chest across the tank and dropped a shoulder into the turn and pushed the inside grip I think most would have a better understanding of how it was done. So all this aside, seeing how it's freaking freezing in most of the US. What suggestions do others have to help people who are still new to feel comfortable come spring.

  19. People can put whatever they want on paper and sign it, it doesn't mean there is a judge in the country who is going to enforce it, A prenup is a contract. And any judge versed in contract law....which is 99.9999999% of them will have to enforce what is written and signed to in this contract unless acts called out are contrary to civil law. A prenup is the one and only tool a man has to protect himself and his assets if things go bad.

  20. The day you can scew up a landing, power out go around and try again...things will be different. Untill then you have just one shot to get your feet safely on the ground. See on a bike, you can start off slow and hit the same turn over and over again and slowly add more power and more lean. It's not the same in this sport. Too much time between landings.

  21. Actaully I think riding is much easier than flying. You have more controlls on a bike than in the air. You can add or reduce power for one. Also there are some rather amazing videos out there regarding learning how to ride better via body bike connection.

  22. What do you need in a relationship? A friend and partner who has a good view of the unievrse. And kinky sex three times a week! What do you want? For me to not cook dinner once a week. And kinky porno quality sex three times a week! What are you not willing to accept? Being disrespected. Vegatarians and no kinky porno quality sex three times a week. Funny I actually had that for a few months this year. It was nice!
  23. The blind leading the blind... You know....here is a dumb thought....if one of the pros coudl barrow a large parachute and strap on a head cam and maybe....just maybe fly a standard student flight path and post said video online with a bit of a voice over regarding, when they turned, how they turned their head and that they were checking for traffic....it could do some good? I'm lucky there is a guy at my DZ who does not swoop and happens to have a few videos up, and watching his landings I can put a mental picture to about how high I would be off the ground. For me it's worked. The packing, any excuse to have friends over is a good one if you ask me. And if it's to help you catch something wrong when your packing while you are in your living room better than if you are at the DZ an everyone is running around. And your average length of comercials breaks is what...10min? Not bad. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

  24. my idea is : get video of you flapping your arms while you are swooping your rug. And avoid colliding with your sofa. Swooping the rug! Oh yeah! But what if she got a Brazilian? For me the videos helped and I think will help. I wish there were a few good POV videos out there shot with people flying 1:1. And one of a ground view. Would greatly help people learn what to "look" for. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.
