  1. Maybe he doesn't want to be spread out and de-arched the entire dive. If you can fix the fall rate issue by changing the size of your suit then why not. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----
  2. +1 word to yourmomma... *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----
  3. Check out the attachment... took 10 seconds. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----
  4. This one works perfect for turning anything you can print into pdf. http://www.primopdf.com/index.aspx *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----
  5. Yes, and it decreases the debt of the poor. (Hmm...maybe DD is smarter than we give him credit for. ) The best way to decrease the debt of the poor is to not give them credit, therefore making them live within their means. Giving the poor more money in no way guaranties that they will have less debt. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----
  6. Improved productivity doesn't mean increased demand... so since 3 employees can now do the work 5 were doing before they can lay-off a couple of people and still meet their demand. Great idea! *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----
  7. Discuss it with your fellow jumpers, and not with the 'we know whats best for you' crowd here at dz.com. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----
  8. 4 to 8 weeks. Unless you are a bit of a slow healer you should be good by 6 weeks. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----
  9. This is one piece of advice that I really hate. It has been discussed at length. Edit to add: A previous discussion on this topic http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=post_view_flat;post=3438103 good points *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----
  10. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-QHvvIT-mU Congrats!! *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----
  11. Barrel roll before pulling!?! *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----
  12. Them: Ok, but I'm a total idiot... I like pie. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----
  13. Yep AT&T totally blows... Lately I have been talking to my realtor a lot who has AT&T and iPhone, he drops the calls nearly every time I talk to him. It's irritating enough talking to people with AT&T who drop calls all the time, I couldn't imagine actually having them for a service. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----
  14. Good thing your not a dude.. I'm sure a bunch of a-holes here would have found/dug for reasons to give you a hard time about your canopy. Also, not being a dude makes your color selections much more exceptional. It's really win/win for you. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----
  15. Yep.. much cheaper than that expensive process of lethal injection. We could also give them toilet bowl 'curbies' and then make them flush their own teeth down the drain. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----
  16. well you apparently never went to that DZ, and never recieved their safety briefing. IIRC it stipulates "NO SPIRALING". No, I haven't been to that dz... If the turns he made qualify as "spiraling" then he shouldn't have done them. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----
  17. Niether, someone had told me that our dz recommended 50 jumps for a GoPro, and I later found out that it is 100. No one said anything to me the few times I wore the camera. Why do I have the sneaky feeling that it's only because the DZ put the foot to you? No one did, but I would follow the rules without contention. As for any posts that got deleted if they were in reponse to my post #14 I didn't see them, so not sure. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----
  18. 1. Cut and paste the video address from the address (http) bar into your post. 2. Then highlight the entire address, while it is highlighted click on the "url" button at the bottom right of the text box you are typing into. This will make your address "clicky". *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----
  19. I agree... I have scratched the shit out of my Z1, and I have the flat/soft paint which I think scratches more easily. However I find the helmet extremely comfortable and love the visor. I would definitely buy another Z1 in the future. To the OP: Even though the paint imperfections you had would not bother me the customer service you experienced would have. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----
  20. Just had to be sure you didn't think otherwise. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----
  21. No one currently gets turned away if they need emergency care, insurance or no insurance, homeless or not. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----
  22. How in the world would you come to that conclusion? I would think its exactly the opposite. Currently no one gives two shits about Hillary Clinton.... but you won't find any shortage of active Sarah Palin haters... and many truly HATE her. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----
  23. Uuuuuh... ....what? Wool? Eyes? Cave on the moon? As for your challenge of naming a President that was more transparent, I'm sure there are many, but we all know that can't be simply "measured". Either way I'll go ahead and say, Clinton. As long as it's not Bush or another repub right?... I'm going to say' "I won your challenge." I think Clinton was more transparent, can you prove me wrong? I doubt it. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----
