Effects of markers on canopy fabric and lines
fasterfaller replied to ernokaikkonen's topic in Gear and Rigging
I use a marker that wipes off for marking on canopy fabric . I tend to use a non-toxic marker for marking lines . -
That would be christoofar in his earlier post .

I agree that you should not be jumping while drunk or high , but it still aint cool to rat someone out to the cops . If you have a problem with what is going on at the dz talk to the owner not the cops . If you don't like how they handle it jump somewhere else .

New Sabre 2 / closing loop questions
fasterfaller replied to christianesp's topic in Gear and Rigging
Once you have the main in the bag and all the lines stowed and the bag in the container , kneel or sit on it to force more air out before closing . After kneeling or sitting out it close it quickly before it has a chance to expand . -
It aint cool to rat out fellow skydivers to the po-lice . I don't think you will find a dropzone where no one does drugs .

I heard they are going to put those up in Georgia .

As robin Williams would say " reality , what a concept " . I think everyone feels the pressure of society to conform to this standard or that standard . Live outside your means and be positive even if you are not happy . My philosophy , live cheap , buy what I want , go where I want , do what I want . Life is too short as it is and why should I do some thing just because it is what you are supposed to do . Enjoy life and do the things that you want to do . Stop letting society tell you what success is and stop feeling guilty when you don't live up to societies expectations . My grandfather worked his whole life to have security in his old age . He died two months after retiring . He had a list of things he had plans of doing in retirement but it was cut a wee bit short . My brother and I both have a copy of the list and we are doing it for him . I would rather live my life now and have good memories of the fun I had for the time in life when my health goes to shit .

Nice pics !

That looks like my kind of party .

I agree with TomAiello and his comments on using retired reserves as base canopies . It is a bad idea . If you are going to do base jumping use base specific gear .

I jump a pd reserve . They are the best built reserves on the market . I have not seen a pd reserve blow apart on opening but I have seen and heard of others blowing up . The only downside to a pd reserve is that they pack larger and cost a little more . I have had a few reserve rides in the past with the reserve loaded at up to 1.5 without incidence on pd reserves . Right now I am loading at about 1.3 on a pd reserve . I chose the pd reserve because in my opinion they are the best there are . I have test jumped most of the reserves out there and the pd by far had the best landings of all of them . Just my opinion on reserves .

fasterfaller replied to gravitysurf808's topic in The Bonfire
Jumping with animals is fun as long as your friends don't catch you with them . -

I put my vote in for Lisa and Square One .

Speaking of Clay , it is not like him to miss a thread like this one . He must not be at work .

When I can no longer get it up , I will settle for dropping it in . My own semi original quote .
