is she into stainless steel?? nice rig

I know my progression has been, at times painfully, slow, but I am not in the least bit embarrassed. ***> good, there is no reason to feel embarrassed, everyone has a different information saturation point.....and then.....whala.....everything just works

Semi- elliptical scary crew, right... Get a cross-braced and jump with somebody wearing inappropriate shoes/boots. I had a "traumatic" experience that started that way once. Be sure to wear shoes you can kick off if you have to. I have done some mild stiletto crew since then, but swooping is where it's at for me. ***> I have a cross braced, but no thanks anyways, I have visions of what could happen dancing in front of my eyes......uuhhhhh, just cause I am nosy, what happened? Roy They say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it.

How can we ever actually measure the extent to which different concentrations of MJ effect our judgment, reaction time, etc... all the necessary things for a good skydive? How can we be certain all people react the same. And who has done these studies or talked to those researchers before making their judgment of the topic? ***> I agree everyone has a different tolerance to chemical stimulus, but if I see someone smoking up prior to a load I will not be in that particular formation with that person. This is a personal choice I have made, I make no excuses or apologies for it. Its an unknown element of risk that I am not willing to assume. I do not care what anyone does the night before, and on occasion am known to partake. I know that when I get all broken up and am hospitalized, they give me loads and loads of morphine and it does very little to help me. I've had them inject the the absolute max dose all at once and I didn't even get sleepy the pain actually got worse! ***> morphene works wonderful on me.......I go immediatly to happy land......demerol, a morphene dirivative however has virtually no effect on me. I once had a friend who was a worldcup ski racer, he would get high before every race - said it helped him focus. He even went onto the olympics (drug free). Weed didn't seem to impair his abilities too much... But my sister, give her one puff and she's a looney! ***> Years ago when on off weekends when there were no races I would be trail riding with friends in the mountains, Our group trail rode at nearly a race pace....Jim a good racer and excellent rider would around noon "indulge"........ he swore it made him faster.......maybe it did but he sure couldnt stay on the trail, it was endlessly amusing to follow him as he cut across the trail one way, reacted and then cut across the other way.....he didnt have any problems staying on the trail before lighting that little wooden pipe. I think the biochemistry of individual human systems is far too complex at science's current understanding to form valid laws around. A law is only really valid in math. ***> We are not talking about laws, we are talking about personal responsibility and choice. Would I jump with a so called stoner? I think it depends on my prior experiences with that person - While I would definitely be wary and exercise more caution, I also know I skied with one who was always faster and safer than I could ever be sober, so perhaps the same applies here. ***> ok, so you would be cautious, I can understand that, I snowboard with one friend that High, can ride circles around me, but the odds of us having a collision serious enough to render one of us unconcious or dead is very low, have you ever lost track of someone in freefall? perhaps freeflying? In a five way everyone turns a 360 and suddenly one is just gone? uncomfortable feeling I assure you......now throw in the fact that he in all probability just corked and now is above you, If he was high, I would be extremely worried!! When you are high your sense of time and speed are influenced, and under the influence are they going to do the right thing ? It comes down to choice, I have made mine, while skydiving I have zero tolerance..........later when the beer light comes on may be a different story. Roy They say I suffer from insanity....

no way would I buy a rig from e-bay -->just to throw in a ebay success story to point out you may lose out on a bargain..... my girlfriend just bought herself her first rig on ebay, everything was manufactured in 1997 its a dolphin container, raven reserve, triathlon main, cypress equipped. She still has six years left on the cypress. the entire rig is immaculate, no rips, tears, faded spots or stains, the entire rig was advertised as 100 jumps, with one on the reserve. I would be very surprised if it actually had 100 jumps on it, the canopy is bright and new, lines are as white as can be... The reserve needed the line attachment mod done when we got it, but the seller was very very up front about everything, and answered all my questions..including serial numbers of all the components. We paid with(and I would recommend) the escrow service that is offered as a choice on payment methods, you pay the escrow service a fee, ours was around 50$........you send the money to the escrow service, they notify him that they have the money, he ships the rig...... if it isnt what you thought you were buying you ship it back and are guarenteed that you will get your money back......*minus the escrow fee.....which is a small price to pay.......the other payment methods are ok for smaller purchases, but I would not risk our money with them, she now has three jumps on it and loves it, it fits her like it was made for her....I have one on it and it flies nice.....SLOW AS HELL!!!!......but hey....now I have a rig to use for tight demo's *just dont tell her oh yea.....the total price with the escrow service was $1,470 So the deals are out there..... If you decide to go into an ebay transaction, do so with your eyes wide open. not everyone is an honest seller.......... Roy They say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it.
