  2. Why go for "easy" if "complicated" is possible? Guess I'll have to provide a response huh? I've Got one My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!
  3. Hello all. I'm looking at the Suunto Alti watches and was wondering which would be the all-around best model for skydiving purposes. With Alti functions are The Advisor, the Altimax, the Observer, the S6, the X-lander and the Vector. The Observer has got some funky different face colours. Seems the "white face" whould be easier to read in freefall but the face is smaller on this model. The S6 is all geared up to be used with logbook software for skiing. Anyone know if this tracks info in freefall at all? This model is sensitive to 3ft increments. The Vector seems pretty popular among skydivers. I've seen a number of them. However the newer X-lander is pretty much the same thing but built with carbon fiber and a crystal face for extra durability. Anyhoo, if anyone has any pointers or suggestions about the different features of these different models, or even just which ones are easiest to read, please chime in. As it stands, I'm thinking the X-lander is the best bet. What with it having the larger of the two face-sizes and having the added durability. Thanks, Nick My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!
  4. Does anyone have this clipped in an MPEG/MPG format? I want to show a workmate but can't download/install quicktime here at work... only have mediaplayer My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!
  5. Twin Otter. Back to the wind. Horizontal on the hill to waive at your buddies in the plane and curl back into headdown. yup, that's me fave. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!
  6. I went to college in a small northern town... small being the operative word. For two whole years of my stay there, nearly each time I went out to the bar (or at least any time we were dancing) Someone would request that song and dedicate it to me. It didn't take long before (being that there were only like 2 clubs you could expect to find a crowd in) when the DJ came on to say "I have a special song request...." I'd have everyone around me going "Oooooooo" and pointing at me. To this day, I don't know who it was. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!
  7. Drop a cinder block on your toe... then you won't notice the pain in the neck anymore. Seriously though. I would recommend seeing a massage therapist. The neck muscles are serious business. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!
  8. Yeah yeah... it made us, er, run faster too. lol My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!
  9. Not too many songs that make me horny. Hmmm. There's that one electronic track. First on the Blade soundtrack? You know the track playing at the Rave in the opening scene of the movie? Yeah that one still gets my heart pumping and my chest and neck all hot. An old girlfriend and I used to... ah, ... we used to like that track a lot My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!
  10. That is great news Mama! Hang in there. Be strong. My thoughts and {{Vibes}} to you and yours. Nick
  11. I'm sorry to hear it. Glad to hear she is not suffering though. My {{{VIBES}}} and thoughts for you brother. Nick My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!
  12. Put a next checkmark by Junior Mints for me. They're my favorite for the shows. For some reason I always by them at the theatre but never anywhere else. Toss a few into your popcorn while it's still hot and shake it aournd... yum
  13. I hear people say put more drag on the upper body then the legs for learning sit. It will help you remain upright. I've spent the last two seasons in a pair of nylon/polly pants and a Fox shirt. They provide uniform, but very little drag. I think learning stable body positions and moving around with very little drag was key as towards the end of this past season I started wearing a bit of a bigger suit and feel solid like a rock when I want stability and like I've got jet-rockets on each time I move around. Learn to fly in a T-shirt and shorts. Then see what you can do with a suit on. That's my $0.02CND My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!
  14. Yeah that looks pretty dope... I'm about sold! Tell me. Will my whuffo-girlfriend kill me If I bait and switch a "romantic trip for two to Florida" for a 4 day tunnel camp here? lol. Seriously though. Will she be bored out of her wits? Should this be a solo mission? My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!
  15. Has she got tourretts? My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!
  16. Not sure about that. You don't need to know how to change your oil to get your drivers licence but you should know how to pack a parachute before you obtain your skydive licence. You are putting your cars life in the mechanics hands to a certain degree when you allow them to change the oil for you. You are putting your life in the packers hands to a certain degree when you allow them to pack for you. Most importantly, if the oil change sucked and your car pisses out it's crude on the highway, you get a warning light and you pull over... no such luck with the packers mistakes... you gotsta deal with 'em in real time. Not critisising those that use packers (I pack for myself), but peeps with many jumps that don't know how to pack... laughable. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!
  17. That's hillarious as I was to post that we get pied at 100 and a lot of people do their 1000th naked. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!
  18. St... stra... st-st-st... stress! My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!
  19. My advice for when you take this one online: be patient... it's gonna take a dogs age to get used to moving around and the flow of gameplay. It'll be very frustrating at first but well worth the effort once you get the hang of it. I know the same can be said about any game... but you'll see what I'm talking about. Oh yeah, and if you're playing by yourself (random games, no friends), don't let people team up on you and make you be the mercenary all the time. lol My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!
  20. Xbox live is the poop! Halo 2 is going to be amazing! I'm training now playing One and Rainbow Six 3 and SplinterCell Pandora Tomorow. Look for me, my tag is Goose Legion. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!
  21. Results are in for that competition. Other weapons here. Ha-ha! Let's see if I can take my boss' eye out! lol My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!
  22. Just don't reach for the risers until you are properly stood up. I have a habit of steering my snivel around with the rears. lol Every now and then I reach for 'em a little too early though and lose a chunk of finger to riser slap. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!
  23. Life's too short dude. Don't lose contact with a friend because of this. And the truth is out now.. she is also interested? I'll risk being flamed and say Life is also too short to put feelings on the back burner for anything. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!
  24. I'm actually feeling none of that right now.... ... well if you'd just let us be to smoke our crack... Come on Val, you've more support than you let on. The DZ.com response is not that of the entire skydiving community either. Don't forget that with any online community comes a highly amplified tendency to argue and flame. And that was a touchy subject. One that none of us enjoy seeing brought up on a public forum for all to see. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!
