Boy... yer shore picky today Roy They say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it.

Maybe we should cut off the tackle of rapists and hands from thieves too.... this one sucks!!! Roy They say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it.

many thanks to everyone for the kind thoughts, I just got back from the funeral. It was a nice ceremony with many stories of his life - many that I have never heard of before that made me laugh and cry at the same time. Roy They say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it.

You married my mom and took on two kids not of your own and treated us like we were yours, the name dad for some reason never fit, a failure in us not you, you were so superior to the distant biological father that we had that that the name should have worked... you came to all my baseball games, motocross, dragraces, and often to watch me skydive when I worked at skydive yakima, you made one static line jump so you knew the exilaration that came with falling from an airplane, you taught me to stand up and hold my head high after losing a fight, taught me to fight dirty, how to set the points on an auto, change tires and oil, you supported my joining the Marines when the rest of the family hated the idea, how to be a great father plus a million other things that wont come to mind at this moment. I know the cancer hurt and you needed to go but damn I wished you had stayed. I miss you more than words can express. I miss our arguments, we always argued, hell would have froze over if we ever agreed. not a goodbye, just a so long for now. Love, your son Roy They say I suffer from insanity....

we're just jealous that they dont have to pay for an airplane ride... dem cheap fuckers!! Its sure fun to watch them jump, I have been ground crew several times but watching one jumper enter a river at high speed ended my urge to jump from a fixed object.

dude, no flames, just gonna point out what I see wrong here. i probably stood half of them.. *** If you cannot stand up 90% of your landings anywhere, then downsizing is a bad idea (one out of ten you may trip, slip or have a wind change on final) knowing how to slide or tumble is always a good thing for those "oh shit moments" personally my biggest beef with this decision is that with the higher wingloading you will be moving faster and have the speed to run others down, as your in this sport longer with more jumps will come a bigger sphere of awareness - being able to see problems before they become life threatening to yourself or others. I have been called a canopy nazi many times- I dislike seeing people breaking themselves, and totally hate when someone injures someone else through overconfidence or negligence. Its your call, if the dz is ok with it then what we write here will probably not affect your decision. good luck. Roy They say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it.

The staff member's piss poor technique (chiming in from across the room) didn't help, and the fact that the novice was a woman may have been an aggravating factor. *** this guy is just a prick, pure and simple, but apparently he has to get drunk to get the balls to hit someone who didnt expect it - what a pussy I have personally stuck my finger in one persons chest telling him loudly in front of everyone to never try to teach my students anything as he didnt know shit - yeah I embarrassed him, that was my intent as I had caught him teaching others before and my polite warnings to back off were ignored. The "I" didnt do anything wrong with correcting this idiot other than he should have gone to the s&ta or dzo and let them know that someone was teaching who shouldnt be... Roy They say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it.

Until you are the Tandem Instructor IN THAT situation, it's not your decision to make. *** yes it is - you have no right to tell me to not attempt to help a friend in trouble. If that friend waved me off to deploy the reserve that would be his call and I would clear out at that time. so whats your opinion of the TI that got the drogue around the neck a few years ago- should the cameraman have merely backed off and hoped the cypress fired? cuz he in your opinion had no right to make the decision to help? Roy They say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it.

ban the cameraguy from tandems. *** so easy to sit in your chair and second guess the person in the air isnt it? he had the balls to attempt a save, and your gonna ban him? fuck dude where do you get off? a reserve dep with a drogue out isnt a good idea, granted it will probably work but with the peeps I worked with most were my friends. I dont know about you.. but if they burned in and I didnt try everything in my power to stop it I couldnt live with that. but different strokes for diff folks and all that. I am glad your not filming any of my friends. Roy They say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it.

Spadochron" on youtube, you'll get videos of a bunch of different mals & cutaways. On each one, the jumper is unstable in the 1-2 seconds following a cutaway.*** If your body position is good (hard arch) I call bullshit on this, total cutaways 5 but these are the two that would have produced instability. I have two cutaways due to spinning linetwists. the first was on a stilletto 135 at 1.5-1 wingloading I was on my back while spinning and chopping- the centrifugal force threw me straight away - I was on my back while the reserve opened above me (by my point of view) it was actually partially horizontal there was no tumbling or or instability, I was merely not belly to earth. 2nd chop line twists, icarus fx-85 2.3-1 wingloading. the diving linetwists gave me a horrible sense of vertical speed, when I chopped I was instantly stable but took 2 seconds to pull the reserve to make sure I was not gonna tumble - I have that one on video

That's what I would do, as well as many other Americans. These bailiffs in England may not have that problem, since the citizenry doesn't have guns any more with which to defend themselves*** so ya pull out your trusty ol ninja sword of doom and slice the fucker to pieces just remember.... swords dont kill people...people kill people Roy They say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it.

yer old....olllllddddd I tell ya's hows it feel to be an antique? when dave was young..... dirt was still alive Roy They say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it.

Her sister would have been better but I'll take what I can get. *** any old ride is better than a walk!! Roy They say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it.

Religion itself is pure bullshit *** there, fixed it for ya muslim has only recently become a religion of peace - well... some of them, the religion has always preached killing the infidel. hell, those insane fuckers kill each other for not being extreme enough... what everyone calls the radical islamic is merely the wackjobs that have been present since the crackpot of a prophet spewed out his hatred and for some reason.... weak minded morons thought he was something special... Roy They say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it.

make yourself feel better... go fuck her sister or mom Roy They say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it.

for 300$ you almost cant go wrong, I have quite a number of jumps on triathalon and spectre canopy's, you will notice on hot no wind days that the tri will still give you good landings but will not shut down as nicely as the spectre, front riser pressure is definately heavier. if its the gelvenor fabric it will pack like a dream, if its the slippery stuff it will be about the same as the spectre they are nice all around canopys, they do nothing fantastic, but are a good solid canopy and my first choice for tight demo's.

heh, it was the best money I have ever spent on myself, no more coke bottle glasses!!!! Roy They say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it.

Thanks everyone for the support. Last night I couldnt get my mind to quit running in circles enough to even think straight. I agree he needs to know, I am just dreading sitting down and telling him. Thanks again; Roy They say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it.

How do I tell my son that his grandfather is dying... cancer with at best a few months left - its definately terminal. Conner is 6 yrs old and I honestly dont know how to tell him, my brain is locked atm I just got the news earlier today. Roy They say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it.

tell them to go to hell, 5$ isnt worth that horseshit, you can be the most meticulous packer and shit still happens - tossing nylon and string into 100+mph winds doesnt always work. Roy They say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it.

Mighty Mendit*** pffff, glue, nahhhh, duct tape FTW !!!

-I have PLENTY of material left to embarrass you with -Go back to Texas A&M, plow tech, and farm. Let the rest of us think, deduce, and analyze. -We're the trained experts here, after all, security analysts, with the tools to handle the job. Most of us trained in psycholoigical operations, as well. -Go hunt deer, your type of logic applies to them. *** so who are you embarrassing? your veiled put downs make you sound elitist and silly Roy They say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it.

He's getting some? *** oh c'mon, lets not get rediculous here.... Roy They say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it.

he tried to sell me a Micro Raven (which IMHO) isn't much better than the Tempo I had*** You should ask these people that have bashed the tempo and micro ravens how many jumps they have on them, the answer will probably be 0 most people are merely parroting what they have heard others say. I have 3 rides on tempo's one on my micro raven. tempo was much easier to land than my raven but all got me to the ground unharmed and I wouldnt hesitate to use any of them again.

I never have a problem reaching him or Cindy either. he just answered a email of mine, Sanders was proposing Emmit for the nw write-in candidate... heheh, Tim didnt think much of that, so I told Ralph that I would write him in you caught Ralph without words?.... WOW!! Roy They say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it.
