no you were being reckless with a whole hour and a half of freefall time (roughly) do you really think you were prepared or aware of the possible consequences of having a HUGE snag hazard on your head?

eh? a proper parry/riposte does not require a retreat, only that the blade clears target and that your riposte follows the parry immediately... unless the rules have gotten even more silly than before, i think you might have been misunderstanding the directors call... ofc if you were stepping INTO his attack so that your parry was ineffective (mal'parre(sp) then it is the failure to clear you opponents blade that was the issue, nothing to do with the retreat.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

yea the Electric system for foil has been standard (even in training) for most Salle's for 15 years(longer in competition 1950's) or so.. it has its pluses and minuses. the good thing is no subjective opinions from side judges as to the validity of the hits. Electric Sabre was only a few years old when i stopped competing. (i feel old suddenly) the bad thing (IMO) is modern fencing became more about what 'turned on the lights' and less about what 'works with live steel'. This led immediately (the Soviets studied the electric equipment and modified training to exploit to great effect in the next Olympics after it was adopted) to the creation of some very silly (from an 'Art of de-Fence' standpoint) actions that were none the less extremely effective in the 'sport' environment.. nothing you have to worry about at all really, but some bit of modern fencing history and my personal distaste for the competitive side of the modern sport. Still that aside, i dearly love the Art and the Sport. Very few activities combine the physicality and mental strategy the way Fencing does.. an often repeated analogy is 'physical speed chess', and a wide range of people and personalities credit the study of de-Fence with influencing everything about their health, mental acuity and grace its a shame Fencing isnt required for actor's training anymore, and near criminal that it is no longer taught at any major US Military Academy. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

hmm i'm out of town for a while at the moment, but i believe i have a few 'dry' (non wired, not used as much anymore even in training as its harder to judge the hits validity.)French blades (foil) floating around..PM me your address (i think you've moved since you repaired my tiggerpants) and i'll see about getting some in the mail for you. although you'll have to bug the salle for the rest of the fittings as i dont have them (i rarely used French grips and am not parting with my remaining Italians) hopefully your training at a professional salle that will start you on a french (or Italian although its VERY out of fad, and in fact might still be disallowed due to rule changes since i was competitive :( ) grip to build proper finger strength. Fencing is an amazing activity/sport, much like skydiving, relaxation is key and underrated, and smooth really is (really becomes) fast as you progress best advice for beginners, be patient, (Santelli is quoted as having said "It takes 3 life times to create the perfect fencer, 1 for Footwork, 1 for Bladework and a 3rd to train the mind) So dont get discouraged by the focus on leg work early on, rest during your days off, but as you gain strength practicing the basics (advance, retreat, lunge) for an hour a day in front of your TV etc will help you make HUGE gains (my Meistro, a student of Giorgio Santelli's forced us train footwork for 3 weeks straight before giving his students a foil, but most arent so harsh now) also one more key advice.. focus on correct form, even if you lose often to other 'beginners'. Bad habits may get more points early on as a beginner, but will seriously hold you back as you progress.. brute force will always lose to proper technique also once you become comfortable with the routine DO continue cross training outside of the salle (as fencing is a very 'lopsided' activity) to keep balance in your physique edit: http://www.fencing.net/forums/ the 'dz.com' variant for fencing, but early on you are better off going exclusively with your Coaches (lots like Skydiving) as everyone has different techniques to get the same results, but you need a sound foundation first before you stretch out to what works best for you.... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

oxygen deprivation alone can create an astounding number of hallucinations. Death is by definition that which you do not come back from... 'near death' experiences, even to the silly movie extreme from Flatliners would not/do not qualify as evidence of 'life after death' furthermore the mind in such circumstances is highly likely to create/fit any sensations it does record in its "impaired stated" into its pre-existing belief system as it does with any "extra ordinary experience". The 'conclusions' an individual comes to after experiencing such an event are extremely subjective, and as such are not a solid 'scientific' foundation any more than experiments with a multitude of mind altering substances/experiences... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

They walked, talked, and lived with Jesus.

cant recall if i've answered this or not and i'm not bored enough to search.. yes, i am the same in person as i am here. the differences in other peoples perceptions are THEIR perception, not an actual difference.. add to that the fact when 'in person' i'm generally occupied doing whatever it is wherever i am vs silly social banter and entertaining myself with online arguments and its easy to see why someones else's PERCEPTION of me may differ in either situation. the reality doesnt vary, the observers perception does, it is an important distinction. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

i could be wrong, but per hanger conversations at eloy alot of welding work was done to the undersides to keep them from flipping wildly out of control due to the 'unstable' exit. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

LOTS of video.. Good Stuff as mentioned above, but i'm sure its on Skydivingmovies.com somewhere... but those cars were all specially modified NOT to tumble and had all the leaky enviromentally unfriendly parts removed... the commerical 'shows' the impact (the car in freefall appears to be real, maybe one of our camera fliers did some work on the commercial?) but the impact shown behind the ground car as it passes doesnt look right (whats the video buzzword for the verb 'photoshop' anyway?) nor do i imagine they actually tried it as a stunt even if it were feasable.. iirc you do not see the (remains of) falling car in the commerical after the ground car passes, but it DOES look like the actually dropped a car (frame at least) for some of the footage. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

hardly.. perhaps you should do more research into the Actual tenets of Religions other than your own before you make such ignorant sweeping statements.. additionally the idea you are referring to(aka Pascal's Wager) fails as well because by default you exclude all the options that care nothing for 'worship' as such as well as the possibility that Divinity could actually be offended by all the groveling and begging so often present in the 'prayers' of many world religions.

so has anyone done the math to see if this commerical is even feasable? 1 Lexus dropped from 4000 feet (stationary held by a helo) 1 Lexus starting from 4000 feet (commercial isnt clear if it starts from 0 or not) and beats the falling car (slightly) to the impact point? i'm sure there are a number of undefined variables that would drastically change the outcome (Falling car does not tumble at all, seems strange without mods, Terminal velocity for the Lexus would have to be figured etc...) ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
