But I have a big penis and lots of money. Ok, maybe not the penis or the money part... "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

I agree. A 16 year old has no business in a Mexico party town. After a bit in college she won't be as fooled by some of the shit that people try to pull. Her parents should be able to tell her why and should be able to recommend a vacation that competes with this. Otherwise they're just another set of parents who say "no" to fun.

I'm a but-his face. I'm also a but-his body. Also but-his personality. Yeah, that about sums it up. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Yeah, I know this, just making a bigger deal than necessary out of his choice of language. It seems like such a marginal thing around which to make your decision. But having flown a Tri for the last few hundred I feel his pain. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

"For me I require something thats gonna get me back from long spots.but has the ability for me to learn how to swoop on it with an reasonable margin for error." Sounds like a perfect combination for injuring yourself on an off field landing. Basically, if you're trying to get back, then you're ignoring the nice big spots to land and you're left with whatever is inside of the last row of trees that you just decided you can't cross. Why not get something that you can land out but still has high performance characteristics? To get back to your initial question. I'm in the same spot and I'm trying an array of canopies close to my current size and then I'll downsize once I've mastered their characteristics.

That's a little bit on the absolute side, don't you think, or are you just saying that in reference to his experience? "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Pravda is a very factually based news source. They wouldn't lie about something like this. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

I think it's funny to see people get bent out of shape because of something that someone said on the internet. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

PM sent. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

I just got done with a Nitro 150 demo. I was extremely impressed with the range this canopy has. Take into account that my previous jumping was mostly on 7 cell canopies. You can sink a Nitro into a back yard or you can wring out some real nice high performance landings. Take your pick. I recommend that you try one.

Say yes, but your friend must pass the tandem instructor's course first. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

What were you doing in the shower with Brad!!?? "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Canseco is just out for a dime but I don't have any sympathy for the people getting ratted out. There are a lot of people (like me playing Div I college lacrosse) who made the descision to not take steroids because of the damage it causes our bodies and because of the moral principles we have. We still had to compete against people who became stronger because of steroids to the detriment of their body. Some people say that they'd still go to games if they knew everyone was doing steroids. Great, but that's simple minded. Steroid use to non-athletes could be compared to your boss helping you on an assignment in exchange for anal sex. Some may not have a problem with it, most will and will resent the competetive edge afforded by this agreement. Basically, by allowing steroids, you're forcing people to injure themselves just to be on the same playing field. And yes, you're also a fag. My apologies to any gay people who don't know me and may be offended, my gay friends think my homophobic metaphor is a hoot. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Post, post, post. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Does someone actually have a source for the discrepency in these numbers or is everyone writing letters saying, "I heard on dropzone.com...." ? Sources are slightly important in such matters. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Large crew from Skydive Virginia all getting dragged down by our dear boy Ricky Sein who just moved back to his motherland, Puerto Rico.

Not that I've ever needed a picture ID to fly. The story here: I lost my driver's license at the Moss Point Mardi Gras Boogie last year and talked my way onto a primary and connecting flight to Washington Dulles with no photo identification.

Ricky is this the thing where you pass the taco to new members? Or is that the thing Bettina does? Oh wait, hers is a barbie doll... My bad. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Camping? I'm thinking about doing this. Anyone else? "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Indeed. People will want to be able to see a list of music that they recognize. I just like taking the opportunity to let people know that there are a lot of good musicians who shun major record labels and the MTV era. But I personally would take Dave's advice about putting together a music list. Also, I try to talk students out of using Tom Petty's "Freefallin". I swear, if I hear that song one more time... Shit. It's stuck in my head now. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Hey Clint, getting "New" music from the top 40 list is kind of like getting style tips from J.C. Penny but the mass market isn't exactly progressive. So, that's a good safety but to improve your personal collection, talk to some of your jumpers who put effort into following bands that tour smaller venues. The problem is that you'll quit listening to the radio because you're annoyed that everyone and their fucking grandmother is listening to what you played five years ago.

Does this mean that if the woman moved to a new neighborhood that she'd have to go door to door and show everyone what she did? "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Oh MAN! We had the MOST horrendous time in the snow storm... "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

That could be fun, if that stupid pillow weren't getting in the way. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
