    swinging

    ianmdrennan replied to vstar2001's topic in The Bonfire

    I highly doubt that swinging constitutes the majority of your market. I think you'd find if people just bothered to communicate, respect one another and take responsibility for their actions that the divorce numbers would be lower. The reality is that most people IMO are incapable of this. Honesty in a variety of forms (including inward reflection) eludes them and hence there will always be this kind of divorce rate. After all, it's easier to quit than try and work through it or talk about things as they're developing. Off topic, I know, but it was worth commenting on. Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team

    I dug up the other trailer, it was from ComicCon 2004. Here's the LINK...call it an early Christmas present...enjoy

    Yeah there was another one (trailer for Sin City) a while back, much longer and it was definitely intriguing to say the least. Quite original looking so far

    Another reason for these is out of court settlements. Sums are often paid out cause it's simply cheaper and faster to settle in the end. Sad but true. The current system almost "encourages" it. Performance Designs Factory Team

    LOL I don't even know how much I make PK. I remember having to call about some 401K stuff and I had to ask my wife the answer to all my security questions (except my SS #) as they were financial related. I let the wife handle all the financial stuff. She's way better and more organized at it than I am. I bet that just made your blood curl Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team

    I'm definately in favor of telling it like it is, although I'll admit that I'm wrong from time to time. My experience is that most people think they want to hear the truth until they hear it, then they aren't so happy about it. My wife and I have gotten to a 100% honesty point in our relationship (some time back actually). It definately took some adjusting to, but it's a great feeling knowing when someone says something nice, they genuinely mean it and that they'll never blow smoke up your ass. Amen. Trust is everything. Truth, tis the only way to go

    Extremely tight scores for the Top 13 right now. Great going guys, it's been a good year I'm looking forward to finals!! Chris thanks for putting this together. It's been great seeing how much everyone has progressed from the first competition. Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team

    Brian Grady from Jumptown MA is one of the best riggers I've ever met. If you have no luck with the other contacts you've been given, drop him a line and let him know I sent ya. Have fun in Eloy. Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team

    I'm pretty sure it's the same show as 5 years ago. The only BMG show that is different (that I'm aware of) is the one in Las Vegas, and what a HELL OF A SHOW that is. The Boston, NY, Chicago ones are all the same I believe. I'll be seeing them again in Vegas this coming March for sure. Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team

    News to me. Though, if you want to do hardcore CReW, buy a canopy designed for that. If that's not your focus then demo. PD have a great demo program. They're both good canopies and it just depends what you want from your canopy. Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team

    Absolutely. If they smell desperation it's all over. Remember, when you interview, you're interviewing them as much as they're interviewing you. It's gotta match on both sides. Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team

    Twice. Both before I had 500 jumps. The first was a spinner on a heatwave and the 2nd was a bag lock around jump 420 or so. Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team

    Well Chris, I figured she'd offer herself up as a consolation prize to ease your emotional pain. I can't believe how selfish some people are!!! Hope to see you soon bro. Keep on rocking. Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team

    Only some newer stuff. Way back when when I started this kinda stuff was hard to come by. A lot of people were still figuring it out or those that knew hadn't gotten the info out there yet. I think it's great how much info is getting out there though, the swoopers of tomorrow have a world of knowledge and advantage at their fingertips if they just put their egos aside and take it.

    That's what my wife keeps telling me. Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team

    That point of view is best for this kinda stuff actually. You can see the pilots body in relation to the wing. See how your body is in front of the nose of the canopy but it's still descending just a bit after your input to level it out? That's a good indicator of a late flare. Start it earlier and smoother.

    A public museum COULD have something they find offensive so they chose not to let their kids go. Likewise public tv COULD have something offensive so they can choose not to let their kids watch tv. Seems logical to me. You can please some people some of the time, but you can't please all people all of the time. So, leave it to the people who can't be pleased to avoid what doesn't please them. edit: spelling.
