    No, I think Kevin just realizes that Sunpath makes skydiving equipment that needs to be built correctly at the risk of injury or death. They're not a bunch of kids making macaroni necklaces who get "a big thank you and praise" when they finally get it right. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

    I can't say as I have never actually heard of these guys. You work in the feild of science and have a better perspective so I have to take your word on it. Cheers, Richards Kallend, I think what he's saying is, "Takes one to know one you pinko ecofreak!" "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

    I'm waiting for you to say that your MIL also intends to smoke inside of your house. Yeah man, you've got to let the wife know that you need to back each other up in such circumstances. Perhaps start by saying, "Listen darling, how are we going to compromise on this one? Let's get this weekend out of the way, I'll agree to some conditions, and then we need to decide how you and I are going to operate as a married couple."

    No kidding, I was impressed with how well everything was managed. He did a tremendous job orchestrating the simultaneou events, got chase vehicles out to us when we had to get the f*ck out and landed in BFE. And then dealt with reorganizing the dive sequence when teams were down with reserve repacks. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

    Yeah, having played team sports all of my life I know what a jock smells like after a full practice... "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

    Thanks for the sources, I'll read up on it. My comment is more in line with keeping from destroying the water. We can all switch to Tofu and still screw up the ocean. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

    This has very little to do with us eating fish. More to do with what we're doing to the water and the planet. That's right, you heard it right here on dz.com. Now go vote. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

    A LITTLE higher? Geez people, let's learn our canopies a bit. Hey Chanti, clear and pull from 13k, maybe with a little delay. Run through some canopy drills. Coordinate this with manifest and the pilot so you don't have the following load dumping on top of you. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

    Closest isn't alway best but swing by Skydive VA. At least one of our jumpers makes the the commute from there. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

    How about a stranger who says, "Oh I'm on the male birth control pill...no really, I am." But then hopefully a person would not have unprotected sex with a stranger anyway. But then there are those moments of excess that catch folks off guard sometimes. I have one friend who actually called me and said, "Lindsey, I'm not sure, but I think I might have got f*(ked up the @ss last night." Ummm....who actually says that? Well, someone who'd have unprotected sex with a stranger.... linz True enough! Especially if there's Rohypnol involved... I think we're getting off topic from the birth control issue here...

    I can make alcohol and money disappear, just look at my bank account and liquor cabinet, both empty. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

    That's a good way to avoid needless packing. Sometimes I have a new rig on my back for the next load before the tandem I'm shooting is on the ground. I tell them that if you have a malfunction you aim for the peas, which is really deep and full of packing peanuts. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

    I've been there with the bad laugh thing...had to let her go. She laughed like a Looney-Toons caricature of a New Jersey wise-guy. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

    Well then I'd swing around and go back the way you came. But this time, turn right where the old Hollinshed barn used to be, then about 5 miles before the road dead ends, veer left, and follow the railroad tracks straight into a town called Beaver Mills. Or you could take the bridge at the fork in the road and save yourself a heap of time. But I wouldn't go that way if I were you. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

    Coincidentally, I just ate a Slim-Jim from 1965. I'll bet my head starts spinning around like those kids' pretty soon. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

    Sorry for leaving that unexplained, but K pretty much summed it up. I've seen SO MANY videos of guys who just look up at the student/tandem/(ANYONE) and then deploy...and so of course I've seen video of a sniveling tandem pair pass just feet in front of a videographer. And there have been incidents of tandems falling into the vid. If a tandem has a mal, they're going to end up on level with you on deployment. If you want the shot of the canopy opening then you either backtrack or you belly fly it and then turn and track. With the tandems deploying at 5k min you have a few grand to gain horizontal separation; there's no excuse. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

    More like remember The Andromeda Strain. At least there was a hot chick involved in Species. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

    You know...I don't care. You MUST be able to pick out Australia as being Australia, even if the map has it labeled as NK. Granted, I can start with a blank piece of paper and draw and label an accurate enough map for a geography lesson. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
