  1. You're a style freak aren't you. -We are the Swoophaters. We have travelled back in time to hate on your swoops.-
  2. You forgot the "What the hell is the BPA AGM?" choice. I have a vote for that one. -We are the Swoophaters. We have travelled back in time to hate on your swoops.-
  3. I have this really cool tie that in very big red letters right down the middle says "This should be in the Talkback forum" Just wanted to be the jerk. Peace ya'll. -We are the Swoophaters. We have travelled back in time to hate on your swoops.-
  4. No, but I have had bad experiences rolling the tail. -We are the Swoophaters. We have travelled back in time to hate on your swoops.-
  5. More wing equals more lift at ANY speed. However, the greater parasitic drag created by a larger wing inhibits high performance. -We are the Swoophaters. We have travelled back in time to hate on your swoops.-
  6. Skydiving chooses you. -We are the Swoophaters. We have travelled back in time to hate on your swoops.-
  7. Graceful tip toe landings are friggin lame. Leave that to the style freaks. -We are the Swoophaters. We have travelled back in time to hate on your swoops.-
  8. I know someone who has been known to do this. But he has also been known to ride a short bus and has an annoying limp. -We are the Swoophaters. We have travelled back in time to hate on your swoops.-
  9. I think what they were saying was that you should not rely solely on your alti to initiate a turn. Look at the ground and decide if you are high enough and then double check with your alti. -We are the Swoophaters. We have travelled back in time to hate on your swoops.-
  10. Hop & Pops are the shit! You always get to sit near the door, always get a good spot, get straight to the good part(for me at least), and have no traffic to deal with. -We are the Swoophaters. We have travelled back in time to hate on your swoops.-
  11. All I can do is tell you how I pack mine and the openings are great, even in Colorado. I leave the nose completely exposed and pull the slider out in front of it. When I pull the tail around, I make only 1/2 roll which will come loose. By the time I am picking the canopy up to roll it and put it in the bag, the tail is just touching in the center. I have had zero problems using this technique (so far...knock on wood). I really believe that I could leave the nose completely exposed(no tail at all) and the openings would still be decent. Must be the closed nose or something. -We are the Swoophaters. We have travelled back in time to hate on your swoops.-
  12. Holy shit prof! It would take me all day to write a post sounding half as intelligent. -We are the Swoophaters. We have travelled back in time to hate on your swoops.-
  13. Everybody in this forum knows that posts like this always get the same response. If you can't take the crap, don't bring up these subjects. I'm jumping a 2-1 loaded fx at 500 jumps, and I can do everything on the task list, but you are not going to hear me trying to justify it on this forum. -We are the Swoophaters.

  14. Can we block people who provide little or no info on their profile? -We are the Swoophaters. We have travelled back in time to hate on your swoops.-
  15. I just checked you profile to make sure you are female. -We are the Swoophaters. We have travelled back in time to hate on your swoops.-
  16. I was on a jump and was the only person to see the guy before me land out. He was visiting the DZ so I knew noone would miss him. Since he hadn't pissed me off that day, I went to get him. Anyway, jump with a cell phone. -We are the Swoophaters. We have travelled back in time to hate on your swoops.-
  17. LOL! -We are the Swoophaters. We have travelled back in time to hate on your swoops.-
  18. Looks really good on top of that bedding....whoa! -We are the Swoophaters. We have travelled back in time to hate on your swoops.-
  19. Yeah, no shit. Just let it go already. -We are the Swoophaters. We have travelled back in time to hate on your swoops.-
  20. Why wouldn't more wing equal more lift? Forget about wingload. -We are the Swoophaters. We have travelled back in time to hate on your swoops.-
  21. I believe this is the second time we have shut the brits down. -We are the Swoophaters. We have travelled back in time to hate on your swoops.-
  22. I just had my fx 104 relined and had to add 4 inches. -We are the Swoophaters. We have travelled back in time to hate on your swoops.-
  23. Oh yeah, then there was that 300+ ft downwind ass-plant on a stiletto 135. -We are the Swoophaters. We have travelled back in time to hate on your swoops.-
  24. I think I swooped 10 feet once, but nobody measured to make it official. -We are the Swoophaters. We have travelled back in time to hate on your swoops.-
  25. If lead is uncomfortable, you should try 19lbs of cotton balls. -We are the Swoophaters. We have travelled back in time to hate on your swoops.-
