I recently designed my Safire2 with tangerine ribs and slider... it is very bright and fluorescent orange. Go with the tangerine. The tangerine is WAY brighter than it appears in that coloring chart.. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

Yeah the concrete sure doesn't help. I'm taking a water break and then back at it... It may be a long night of sweet, sweet packing. Maybe it will help if I light some candles. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

I'm thinking about naming her 'Sexual Chocolate'... or 'Sexual Dark Chocolate'... *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

I've spent more time on top of my new canopy tonight than my last girlfriend. Trying to pack my new (never packed) Safire2 into a brand new Vector3... Starting to wonder if I might end up with 'blue balls'. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

Haha... I think I've actually commented on this in about 3 other posts... There is nothing sexier than a girl that can pull off the right pair of BoyShorts. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

Yeah... I suppose that's true. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

I think you are right about that... *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

PLANNING means getting all the required approvals from the ANAL authories, so that they dont get arrested for doing it. As media was there i would say it was also done in an effort to increase POSITIVE awareness of skydiving in the local area. Loads of lounge chair heroes on here Oh... 4 years to get all the permits etc.... huh. I'd still rather watch a good swoop comp, or some of the guys at the DZ swoop in and land on the back of the trailer while its going 30 mph around a corner. How about they hold a comp to see who can get the farthest through it, now that would be fun to watch. Not sure where your "lounge chair heroes" comment was going, I didn't really see any posts of anyone trying to talk themselves up. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

CSC perhaps? Doubt it... I know they have Navigators. Not sure why you would put AFF students on Sabre's when you have Navigators? *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

I kinda agree... Super cool, yes. Super impressive, no. I think I'd rather watch a swoop comp. It took 4 years to plan??? really??? There are some swoopers at my DZ that would try it tomorrow. I would like to know what the distance is from end to end and if the long distance swoop record is greater or close, anyone know? *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

What did Qatar ever do to you to be so bitter towards them? i suppose they are all just sand niggers right? for fucks sake woman pull your fucking head in! Shit... I can't read anymore of this without replying here. Dude, you hate America soooo bad it hurts. This is 100% obvious by every one of your threads and posts. Your childish statement above is just more proof of your twisted thought. Its humorous, but even more so, sickening how you can commit so much of your time to your hate on America posts. You say such offensive things about America and then start to cry to the Mods the second people say you are full of shit. You PA the US every day so buck up if you get some flack for it. I'm not sure if this is considered a PA on you, but if it is it's good thing I'm not going to write what I really want to. I guess it's really my fault though for reading your trash. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

Maybe those 150,000 deceased registered voters forgot to vote... *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

Shit that's crazy!!!!!!!! I can't believe the guy that fell out of the group didn't track away. Also I don't know if those first number of jumpers were doing a tracking dive or planning a group, but if they weren't planning on staying together there was no separation. Wow... glad you guys are ok. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

What is the length of the hole from end to end? *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

Sweeeeeet.... another mythological 9/11 thread. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

As an upstanding citizen I am morally obligated to report you to the ATF. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

Hey, I don't have the experience to tell you what to do or not to do, but definitely keep this in mind: You were likely flying something like a Navigator while on AFF. Those fly very slow and descend slow without much or any forward glide to the ground. With these canopies and on AFF they usually tell you to wait until you are at approx 15' above ground and then FULL flare. As others have mentioned, you will definitely have to know how to perform a 2 stage flare with that Heatwave. You can't simply full flare at 15' as it will either collapse or bring you another 20' higher, both likely ending with a hard landing to say the least. And also as previously mentioned you will be coming in for your landings much much faster. I also started down-sizing, using Spectres and Sabre2s right off AFF and the 2 stage flare was with out a doubt the most important thing I learned with the landings. If one of your toggles is even a few inches lower than the other (especially with an elliptical) you can dive and hit hard, even if your only a foot off the ground. At the very least you may want to rent or borrow something like a Spectre 210 to get a feel for a canopy with more forward glide on landings. *I am not afraid of dying...

This whole thing has turned into one big scheming, wheeling and dealing bucket of shit... *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

I prefer Frontier. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

MGD sucks!! but not as bad as PBR.. PBR tasts like piss and anyone that says otherwise doesn't know shit about beer. PBR is for wanabe trendy douche bags, all the sudden it's 'cool' to drink PBR in the bars and lounges. Ok, just had to get that out.

I posted a link to a happy and uplifting video, but then decided that in light of the horror and devastation in Haiti, it might be best not to do so at this time, so I edited my post. Day of mourning kind of thing. Oh... *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

You should delete this and start your own post in SC with it. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

Ummm... aaah... hmmm... You posted this why??? *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----

Bed rest??? and till the 18th??? I can see avoiding strenuous activity, but lying in bed all day sounds like over-kill. Do you have any 'foot drop' or significant weakness in the leg? Well anyway... I'm sure you'll do great after the surgery and your leg pain should be gone. *I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.* ----Disclaimer: I don't know shit about skydiving.----
