  1. That is pretty impressive. Guess I'm just used to seeing side shelled mini cams and GoPros. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----
  2. I realize its not HUGE but it also looks like a significant snag risk, not to mention just real jankedy. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----
  3. Came across this post currently on eBay. The bidding is up to $26. Looks to me that these people are bidding for who gets a broken neck. Auction description is as follows (see pic attached): You are bidding on a Pro Tec skydiving helmet. Helmet has 1000s of jumps on it. Helmet was giving to me. I had this camera put it all together & never jumped it. I bought new inserts (pads) added this camera that was used vey little & it just sit there because at the same time I bought a bone head that is also listed. Auction includes Helmet, New pads, Old Pads, Sony TRV 308 Handycam, Box to camera, power & TV cords, wide lens VCL-0637H *I am not afraid of dying...

  4. lets not get crazy here with the senarios... It's not like the cops are hall'n balls to these calls, jumping out of their cars and running to the front door. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----
  5. No... your just out of the loop. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----
  6. >>And I was re-agreeing with you. Ok... lets just agree to agree. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----
  7. Its a serious problem! For instance, many people who don't work with that part of society and really have no contact with that part of society don't realize what is going on. The first instance that they knew that dogs were still fought and it was big money was the Michael Vick trial. That is just the tip of the ice berg. It is also not contained along the racial separations that some people would assume. This was brought up during the "pit bull" thread and so many people simply did not understand because they had never seen it. That is why cities are trying to ban the breed! I was agreeing with you. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----
  8. >>Perhaps she suffered the horror of being raped, Thanks for stating the obvious.. >>and their are some (like Sarah Palin) that would deny her the right to have an abortion. Yeah lets keep beating that dead horse. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----
  9. uuuuh... that sound bite was over 7 min long. I couldn't even get past the first 10 seconds knowing that. I'll check back to see if anyone paraphrased the gist of it.. Maybe it was about short attention span. I voted chocolate cake, cause you can't really indulge in a fruit salad. *I am not afraid of dying...

  10. Also just curious if you did a tandem first? It can help get a lot of those first jump jitters out of the way. AFF is a fun experience and even though there are only a few things you have to remember to do during your dive flow it can feel like a lot. Just wait till you graduate AFF, you'll love it. Free fall feels 10 times longer and you won't believe how many times you have to check your altimeter to get to your pull altitude. One thing that helped me was watching a lot of AFF videos on youtube. You should also start watching vids of malfunctions and cutaways. Keep going... and update your jump numbers.
  11. Hopefully her parents will raise the baby as their own... cause an 11 y/o has nothing to gain from this experience. However, if she had 'consensual' sex hopefully she will learn a lesson and not be such a slut. On a more serious note, unfortunately I'm sure she was taken advantage of. or maybe she is one of the girls in this video. http://www.thatvideosite.com/video/school_dances_sure_have_changed *I am not afraid of dying...

  12. That is a problem. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----
  13. It was part of the original story on the news... My impression was that they brought into question the fact that the officer was a small young rookie female that she was more intimidated than say an experienced male officer. I'm not saying what she did was wrong, cause I don't know for sure. But for some to say we shouldn't second guess some police actions is absurd. *I am not afraid of dying...

  14. Reading your senseless posts is the same like watching the little terrier jumping around, desperately trying to go pissing with the big dogs but, beeing unable to raise his leg ..... As with yours... *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----
  15. Maybe it's time to stop guessing. Saw that coming... *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----
  16. Or jump in the winter. Or do anything worth a crap that doesn't involve a set of skis in the winter... WRONG... We jump all year round here. I actually find it somewhat enjoyable to jump in the winter, but it can get a bit chilly at times. It's often close to 50's in mid winter and we even get some occasional days over 60. We have been flying the Otter every weekend but one so far this winter. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----
  17. *DENVER* you can do everything on your list here except the seaside stuff of course. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----
  18. This is my thought in this particular situation. I am all for officers firing on dogs if need be, but I think she had plenty of 'outs' in this case. She knew before entering the property that the dogs where there. By the sound of it she could have stepped back out of the gate, this was a canceled call, so there was no hurry. True the officer is the only one that really knows what the situation was, but from the details of the story she likely could have taken other steps to avoid having to shoot the dog. My guess is a more experienced officer could have handled this differently... but maybe not. *I am not afraid of dying...

  19. I just like the part where the guys says, "All the other states are wussier." *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----
  20. Wednesday, Feb 3rd. A young female cops responds to a canceled 911 call, per department policy. Upon arrival the officer opens a gate to the fenced in property which had a sign stating, 'please keep closed for dogs'. The officer states that she was approached by 3 "vicious" dogs when she pulled her gun and shot one of the dogs (German Shepard). At that time the other 2 dogs ran away. The family heard the gun shot and came outside to find a "small young female officer" standing in their driveway, gun in hand, and their dog lying dead a few feet away. Family had rescued the dog from a pound as a puppy, and states that all 3 of their dogs are docile and harmless, however will bark if strangers approach the property. The officer stated she felt as though her life was in danger when she shot the dog. No warning shots were fired to scare the dogs off and she did not use pepper spray to ward them off. --------- I'm sure this happens every day, but it sounds like it didn't have to in this case. *I am not afraid of dying...

  21. What part of town will you be in? I'd meet you for a beer or two in the downtown area Monday. or Tues... *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

  23. Snow forecasted for Sunday in Colorado but not before I get some jumps in tomorrow. Choco chip pancakes on Sunday.
  24. The one thing that the Democrats can't seem to understand is that bashing Bush does not actually make Obama any more intelligent or competent. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----
  25. I like it... could make for a good front and back Tee too. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----
