  1. Am I the only one who got 69% ? even my results were slutty space
  2. I just got back from there and I had fear that the new management would not as be BASE friendy as Marcello. Those fears are now laid to rest. Not only are they BASE friendly, They are better looking than Marcello Nadia and Patrizia are real great with the jumpers. I highly recommend visiting the Cafe. The was the cap of a nice trip there to meet Yuri, Lika, Valery, Sascha, 689, Mauri and the rest of the Italians. cya next time, take care, space

    pre-election jumping

    The US state dept was on the Panama canal bridge jump within a few hours..... after that I realized that if a jumper was to be perceived to be dissing the HSA just before the "Selection", ill things would possibly follow. Take care, space

    Cave base jump

    @ Faber, The 7.2 was under canopy. The media never gets it right. @ jonege, only one burn, small, 5cm. The candles were actually pointing the way to the target but he came up short. take care, space

    Cave base jump

    This canopy was designed by Stane specifically for certain parameters we needed. It definitely was not a "New Troll Prototype". It was a Hi-lift, lowspeed, low glide ratio piece of art. Nothing like a Troll. hope this helps. take care, space

    Cave base jump

    Hi Tom, It was a toggle turn. I was impressed by the canopy. take care, space
  8. Mattsplat´s advice is a perfect example of the inexperienced giving unsound advice to the unexperienced. Be very careful. Ask lots of questions about the experience of your advice giver. take care, space
  9. For Merriam-Webster this is what a”Veteran means; Main Entry: vet·er·an Pronunciation: 've-t&-r&n, 've-tr&n Function: noun Etymology: Latin veteranus, from veteranus, adjective, old, of long experience, from veter-, vetus old -- 1 a : an old soldier of long service b : a former member of the armed forces 2 : a person of long experience in some occupation or skill (as politics or the arts) take care, space
  10. I am really surprised that no one has brought up the fact that a 135sqft can hardly fly with an inflated 42" PC. I had a collaspe on a Raven 3 due to a 50" PC and slightly aggresive control. It is way too much drag. Me thinks ya got steered wrong on PC size by a well meaning jumper as well. Take care, Get well, space
  11. My prediction is that Saddam will be detained because to let him go would be proof that USA flailed. keeping people thinking that there is other sides to the story seems to be important. A conservative is a 10yr established liberal. screw all that quantification. If Saddam is not guilty of the charges (as reported by the media), he should be set free. Take care space
  12. Done, but please explain the difference between liberty and freedom. or is my questioning of intelligence endangered because I did not quote the exact propaganda? take care and thanks for pointing that out. space
  13. But can the USA, without Hypocrisy, (Liberty and justice for all) pull it off? to the others, Liberal? take the above quote from the pledge of allegiance and call me a liberal and I will question your intelligence. like that matters to the brainwashed masses. See, It probaly doesn´t bother you in the least bit, Or? take care, and think about the message. space edit for misquote.
  14. Please explain, your statement does not compute. If Saddam is not guilty of the charges he was captured for, he should be set free. take care, space
  15. Hi Christel, I believe that fair is fair. I wonder why I maybe the first to bring this point up. Is my position between 2 propagandas giving me a better idea of justice or preventing me from being brainwashed? why should he not be set free? The chemical warfare was with the help of the USA according to the media. Fair is fair. Let him go. take care, space
  16. It sounds like you are describing the USA, take care, space
  17. I aint German, I am Texan. take care, space
  18. If the media is right about there was no WMD or terrorist connections from this dude. then he should be set free. or why not? take care, space
  19. I did specifically state strong winds bisecting the downwind sector with the winds alleviating the chance of an object strike. Sorry I couldn´t be more clear. take care, space

  21. What do guy wires have to do with the safety of the jump if there is no way they will interfere with the jump because of the winds? I am not understanding your statement of pushing SL and PCA but kinda dissing a 2sec delay. Does not compute. Please explain. take care, space
  22. I would think that one would have to make a choice of which is better. Being a lawbreaker or bonebreaker. take care, space
  23. I think that Tall antennas, with a strong wind bisecting the downwind sector through FF and landing are the safest because of alleviating the possiblity of an object strike. There has been floater exits with openings facing the tower done a few times. On the otherhand, These conditions are not very common. What´s others opinion on this? take care, space
