  1. Do you mean turn, or does it drift to one side? Regardless, fly the canopy until it has collapsed on the ground, don't just punch your arms straight straight down. Ask an instructor to watch you land. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  2. Self policing our population levels. I'll take that in $10's and $20's. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  3. My head hurts today. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  4. Good God, people. Give it a rest. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  5. Well...looks like you wandered right into the grammar police. Put your hands up. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  6. Need BEER, sucking on my teeth right now. What time are we supposed to be there, by the way. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  7. Oh hell, if you're already screwed and your main is F'd then you may as well punch the reserve into it. It's worked before, it's failed before. At least you have something to do before you smack into the ground. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  8. Wore your batteries out and burned out your furnace. Damn...must have been one hell of a night. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

    Kevin, you should talk to the people over there, bail the crazy chick out of trouble and use her as a sort of tabloid promotion for NASA operations. For Example: A real life drama involving a shuttle team and their pursuit to gain entry to the next shuttle launch, complete with personal challenges, eliminations, and members voting each other out of the competition. Come on dude, get with the times! "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  10. Senor Rickerby, could you do me a favor and email me? I'd like to use one of your modified designs for a t-shirt and would like to make sure you're properly credited for its use. My email addy is djlocke5(AT)yahoo(DOT)com If anyone else has a direct line to him could you pass this along? I don't think he gets on this website much.

  11. The next time I get into a heated argument with someone and it takes a turn towards the non-sensical, I'm going to say, "Up your butt with coconut" and walk away. Basically, I'll probably say it about three times in my office today. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  12. These kind of things don't prove anything until you've completed the activity and have not killed yourself. If you really want to learn something then you have to think of yourself as a blank slate. Then when you succeed you'll be able to look back and realize that proficiency in one thing propably helped you in another, but you don't know that until it's all over. There are better ways to push yourself than overloading your canopy and you learn more faster by staying within a reasonable envelope. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  13. Wasn't my point. More like that anyone who is really trying to learn something and get good at it should make it a priority; that would be a TM w/ fewer than 500 jumps or still in their first two years at it. But, everyone is different. I've just seen some sketchy shit from TM's on their first jumps back from a break. This crap about people just taking it as a carnival ride or just showing up to haul meat and pick up their check is bullshit. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  14. I'll take a look at that. I'm planning a scouting mission to check out some places so I can figure out if AC should be a destination or if we should just head straight to Montreal. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  15. That's great. Was thinking the same thing. Ninja Elf is pissed because he has a 7 cell round that doesn't swoop worth shit. At least it has slider handles. I hope that slider doesn't get tangled in his Ninja Elf Hat when he gets it down. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

    Actually, now they have the full length on nbc.com videos. Don't need no torrents or what-not anymore. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  18. I'm there. And I'm taking no prisoners. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  19. Said instructor needs to think about whether he's doing his students a disservice by not jumping enough. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  20. I hear they also used an autographed John Wayne photo as an ash tray. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  21. I'm planning a bachelor party. Are AC strip clubs...not so much stripping, more like bikinis? "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  22. My God. Where did that picture come from? I love the kid's smile. And SuperGirl, get a fine grain sandpaper and take it down. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  23. I don't think that thread is going to help him. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  24. I like the design but it's very busy. I'm a fan of simplicity and this tries to put a lot on the page. The swooper and a single trail behind him would look pretty sweet. This looks more like he's swooping through the world of sponge bob square pants. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  25. Sometimes I'm reminded that taken as a whole we're really only on the evolutionary cusp of being intelligent beings. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
