  1. I'll just tack onto your thread. I have a friend who wants to go through AFF out of Boston. Can anyone recommend a DZ that is friendly to new jumpers? "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  2. WEAR A VIDEO HELMET!! But seriously, get a skydiver from the law enforcement community to back you up. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  3. You mean when she goes to his teepee? Sup Kevin, nice to meet you this weekend. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  4. This canopy is the best canopy for people who want the option of putting up some light CRW but don't want to be stuck with a dedicated CRW canopy. It flies like a regular Tri but has all of the CRW mods with the option of using either a single point connection for the PC or the three ring retractable depending on what you're doing.
  5. I had the same problem with my Turbo ZX. When I pack I leave the slider inside instead of exposing it. When I roll the tail, I roll it down to my knees where I have the nose. I lay it down holding the rolled tail at the base of the nose. A further option is to have a rigger cut a hole in the middle of the slider and reinforce it.

  6. Yeah, he should be hanged. NO MERCY!! "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

  8. DJL, because I know I can win this one. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  9. Not to split hairs here but we know the issue isn't whether or not he can open it but that his logic is absolute garbage. Nobody doubts his authority, just his brain. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  10. Yeah, I did it once. I'll tell you all about it. First you have pick a night when...Hold on there's someone knocking on my door. BRB. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

    Do you call your study breaks the breaks away from dz.com or your breaks away from actual studying? Your post history is hilarious. Whore, my boy, whore! (The verb tense that is.) "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  12. Yes, it was the inspiration but I got the joke. I laughed when I saw the XXX's. Be careful. If you'd put another X on there then someone's head would have popped off if they'd read it out loud. Try it on an unsuspecting co-worker. "XXXXTreme!" Watch just as they procede to emphasis that fourth "X!" a fucking mountain-board will come flying out of the space vacated by their cranium.

  13. I like #3 because I like the offset. I think the other two are too symetrical. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  14. I do because I think it's easier to just put it on before I get on the plane (ff helmet) instead of having another thing in my hands to fumble with while seating. I don't have a problem with what others do as long as they strap it in. At my DZ, camera fat is good about getting their shots in before takeoff and strapping them in. We'd rather not have helmets, especially w/ camera, tossed around the cockpit in a crash, or even if we had to abort and shit got bumpy. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  15. I say, "Is that as much as you've thought about it?" I, too, get bored quickly with small-talk and cliches. That's a response that will stop that scripted conversation that comes every time someone hears that I skydive. Now they say, "What do you mean?" and I say, "I'm asking you to think about it instead of asking the same question I hear from everyone. Why do I skydive? It's fun and I like the people, the same reason you do anything." As for "the plane isn't so perfect." I don't really like OUR part of the cliche conversation in that respect. I don't jump because, "LOOK OUT, I'm a crazy guy, put me in a Mountain Dew comercial and call me X-treme! I'm a risk taker a rule breaker!" No. It's fun, simple. I'm not saying it's wrong to joke about the risk aspect, it just gets old with repetition. Sorry, I'm no fun right now. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  16. bod@cspa.ca, chat@cspa.ca, president@cspa.ca His suspension is pointless muscle flexing. This is as archaic as our imbargo of Cuba. Doug Locke USPA A-40878 "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  17. Yeah, and it looks like someone needs to have a wingloading conversatin with her. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

  21. No CRW at National's this year or no love for CRW? http://www.omniskore.com/comp/2003/nats/2003_nats.htm "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  22. Give him some soap and a brush and make the most of it. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  23. I really hope I remember this when the time comes. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  24. Edited to remove reference to possibly harsh sounding comment. Reparations for slavery? No. Otherwise, I want reparations because my great grandfather was paid less as a doctor because he was born in Sweden and not in the US. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
  25. How about a section where you can say anything you want in X many words? "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
