Boulder woman gets jail time for taping dog to fridge.
ridestrong replied to ridestrong's topic in The Bonfire
The idiot boyfriend didnt release the dog? I mean he could have taken pictures after he called police and released his dog. Yeah I don't get that either... says he was also charged with misdemeanor animal cruelty. It's pretty vague. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.---- -

I may have to add her to my 'people I am obligated to punch in the face if I ever see them' list. http://www.kdvr.com/news/kdvr-toll-dog-fridge-case-txt,0,5314337.story *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.---- -
Yeah two good days for the sprinters and in particular Cavendish... I actually think he has a decent chance to wear green into Champs Elysees, I do like Thor Hushovd tho. Current Standings Post race notes: -Robbie McEwen crashes after the finish line, questions arise about possible doping... -Bit of fisticuffs also between two riders after the finish line. *I am not afraid of dying...

Would you have to jump at a Starbucks drop zone too? *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

Yes it's true.... I had the GoPro mounted on a 6' boom that was attached to a waist belt. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

Kicking legs on exit (yes it's short!! ;)
ridestrong replied to skyflower_bloom's topic in Safety and Training
We're talking about jumping out of airplanes not coming out of the womb. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.---- -
First print in action. -photo captured off GoPro (not recommended) *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

Holy shit that looks like a serious security risk, the terrorist will know exactly where everything is with it all labeled like that. I'd hate to be sitting in the "throne zone" when the shit goes down (it's right under the 'fuel tanks'). I especially like how "avionics" is labeled with a circle X. Oh and labeling the "secret agent code" whoaaa that's just over the top. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

Kicking legs on exit (yes it's short!! ;)
ridestrong replied to skyflower_bloom's topic in Safety and Training
Hi, has anyone told you to try putting your toes together on exit and focusing on it until you get stable? Might help... just a thought. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.---- -
Medrol DosePak should do the trick and Benadryl of course if your not already using it. I'd stay away from lotions... ointments on the other hand . *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

1 time with myself I think : 10 jumps : no owed. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

rhanold thanks again for the info.. I have heard some pretty good things about Tecumseh and I'm excited to jump up there and meet some new people. Just wish I had a whole day to jump, but should be able to get at least 3 or 4 in.

Can anyone tell me if there are student helmets that I can borrow/use for free or should I pack my own? Trying to save space so I can carry on my bag and my rig. Thanks. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

I also like to see the early time fights... It was an interesting stage with a time favor for Alberto Contador in part due to a flat and bike exchange for Lance. There are risks with the cobble stone but it makes for an interesting stage and has been a big historic part of the tour, glad it was back this year. Current Standings *I am not afraid of dying...

Again a bunch of fiction... Don't claim to "quote" me like you just did above when those are not my words and I haven't displayed such attitude. I have never claimed to have any "mad skillz" or insinuated as such, but you guys love to tell people that's what they think of themselves . Also, I have not jumped with a camera since that incident... (other than in your fictional stories anyway). This was discussed in the thread. SkyHook beat me... I knew SkyHook beat me... I was under a reserve.. I don't mind sharing that incident with anyone, in fact I encourage people to read it as they can/may learn from it. All I ask is that you keep your own dramatic twists out of it. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

Looks like you added a bit of fiction for dramatic effect. On the plus side it will get people thinking about the risks before they jump one, or if they already are. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

Found It... Thanks anyway. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

That's nice.... How about a link? Please. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

Where can we find all of these incidents involving small format cameras you and others say are compiled? Can you post a link? *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

Landings? What are they like? how hard and fast?

ridestrong replied to ashworthy2k's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Modern canopies are not designed to fly backwards in 0 winds.. I am quite sure that you were landing into wind greater than 0. ETA: While they are a necessary tool, PLF's are over-rated. -
Yep, tomorrow is going to real hard on the riders especially those with already banged-up wrists/shoulders etc... *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

Crazy start to the tour this year... Lots of big crashes, also involving some top riders. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----
