Beck would be my guess.. yes people DO drink Heine in Holland, just like people drink Shilitz here..but its sorta silly when there is SO MUCH better beer available.. I drank Heine all the time..until i smelled the canal water they make it with..but with all the great micro beers around in the PNW i cant recall the last time i even had an import... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

this is exactly what i think SHOULD be done.. at Eloy I got a very good over veiw of the 'basics' through out AFF, and then went and asked for more from some of the local canopy experts. a solid foundation allows someone to improve much more quickly than anyone trying to "figure it out alone". when someone wants to learn to freefly what does everyone say? well everyone i've heard "Get a few coach jumps so you dont learn bad habits you'll have to fix later on." obviously this is recommendation not a requirement, just as (IMO) canopy control classes should be after your a licensed jumper. Additional training is simply the smart thing to do, unfortunately everyone isnt smart, nor will they ever be.. if some one has been flailing on their head for 50 jumps and doesnt want to get any coaching i just wont jump with them.. i cant think of a single endeavor that you can learn well on your own without having a sound grasp of the fundamentals first. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

yeah..i've been briefed as to most of the policies there and i'm guessing there is no way a new jumper there will get waivered to land at the real DZ, (another reason to get off my ass and fill out the paperwork for my D) which is annoying but no biggie..however if i have to walk 2 miles to get back from the student field even ONCE, i wont be coming back..ever. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

oh thats good.... there was a pretty good stern show that talked abotu positions.. my favorite was the "david copperfield" "your doing the girl doggy style and right as your about to spew you pull out and spit on her back, so when she turns around you let fly in her face.." "its an illusion see?" ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

not at all you are paying to have your rig packed and packed properly in a reasonable amount of time IME thats what the advertised price gets you.. if you want it packed more quickly for whatever reason..thats up to you to work out with your packer.. the rules of supply and demand apply here just as to any other business.. i always make a point to tell my packer what kind of call i'm on and she makes a point to make sure i make it..that sometimes means i get packed "out of order" and i compensate them for the consideration, it also means i get "bumped" when she knows i'm not in a hurry...(lunch, dirt dive etc...) ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

well HE cant...since he hasnt found the balls to hop out of the plane with a parachute on his back yet... if/when he does and gets his B he can find out what a balloon is like for himself, every morning and evening at Eloy until it gets too hot... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

i've been practicing Kendo and Iai on and off for about 12 years..started in college when a japanese AF officer's son started attending the fencing classes i taught.. i earned my shodan 3 years ago, but really havent had the time to stay involved.. i LOVE kendo..it remembers there is a martial component to the sport of "tag" that modern fencing has become.. when conversations like this became the norm i knew it was time to quit fencing.. "i hit you first. didnt you see the light?? yes i did, but assuming that silly flick you called an attack could actually be performed with live steel, i'd have a scratch on my shoulder..you however would have 8 inches of my blade thru your chest...now who do you think should really get the point?" ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Final draft of Physics term paper
Zenister replied to NoShitThereIWas's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I guess you need to read more closely then..the paragraph you refer to is a qoute..she possibly should have used [sic] to point out the error as the terminology is a bit funky, but everywhere in her words she refers to it as "relative wind" which is correct.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
