---> that would be great, but he has been saying that for several years now......and I am not sure how the t-bone would handle the unpaved strip.....plus I hate to be stranded there, and maybe want to go swimming at mcgreggor lake, or hit a off dz tavern "or 2" I will probably take the motorhome this year if my new job allows me the time off..... plus, I am getting old, and a comfortable bed with a heater is just the ticket!!! and it usually does get very cold at night.

--->>a epiphany? maybe, sometimes on the ride to altitude I get a gratefull sensation that I can participate in this sport...... I have a stack of video's that go back to 1997 but I find I really cant watch my old video's much, as they contain friends who have moved away, or have died, I miss the camraderie of the first group of friends, we did everything together.....movies, bar hopping, woman chasing...(even the gals did it) but then in the space of one summer everything changed........ several died, others moved away.... cherish the good feelings and hopefully your best times wont ever become the most painfull memories you have...... sorry, I am in a depressed state today.

The tiny amount of riser input that would be required to modulate a controlled carve under his main would be nearly impossible to control -->> what size is it and what wingloading? I jump a Fx 85 and all I do is a front carving turn usually from 90 degrees to 270 with a wingloading of 2-1, the riser gets a bit heavy after 180 degrees, but I havent noticed any controll problems, I understand that the VX flies differently than the FX. Does the VX get twitchy? Roy They say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it.

I will shave anyplace on my body for the right donation --->>LOL, once you hit puberty, you may wish to quit this practice!!!! heheheh whats the word on the caravan at Richland? Roy They say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it.

LMFAO!!! I have been up all night, that is damn funny!!! thanks; Roy They say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it.

For that matter, where DO you draw the line? Experience counts just as much as the impaired or unimpaired motor skills of someone. What about a skydiver who is known to not watch out for others under canopy? Or one that pulls without waving off in formation? What about a student who doesnt have that many jumps? What about someone who didn't get that much sleep last night? The question was posed, how far do you take it...just exactly how far DO you take it? ok, one at a time... **the one who is known to not watch for traffic** I dont know about where you jump but up here someone like that is generally pulled aside the first time it happens and if it continues to happen they get grounded. nobody likes unsafe skydivers. **one that pulls without waving off in formation** same as above but is generally given the choice of solo's or shape up. **What about a student who doesnt have that many jumps** We tend to take them under our wings like the more experienced jumpers did for us, we give them challenging objectives to accomplish based on their present skill levels but tend to keep them in a group of 4 or smaller (for RW) because they are gonna make mistakes. **What about someone who didn't get that much sleep last night** This one is a tough one..... when your tired your reflexes are slower than normal. But I dont know any way to regulate this one, Hopefully the person would know his/ her limits....... But your question is where do I draw the line...... this is not a game of chance to be taken lightly, your decisions help to forge a chain of circumstance that unbroken can lead to your or someone elses death...... make your decisions - this is your right...whatever makes you comfortable....... my decisions are just that.......mine Roy They say I suffer from insanity....

there's no need to track away from other people before deploying ***> course not!!!! it would waste precious seconds getting together to do CRW and hey!!! dont tell anyone about our ability to talk in freefall......its a secret Roy They say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it.

Take comfort knowing i was worse than you 2. I did 12 S/L before i was cleared for my H&P. ***> wait wait wait!!!!..........I know William and was just flipping him some static about........ his static lines (and mine)....... there is no worse, you jump, you live, you learn. there is nothing anyone can do in the air that makes them more special than any one else........sorry if I gave the impression of making malicious fun......it was meant in good spirits Roy They say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it.
