  1. Well, it's really just a clear and pull, so your freefall time is VERY short. If you weren't flipping over on your static line, you probably won't with this. Just maintain your arch, pull the ripcord, and go back to arching, you'll be golden

    A tight, smooth road with lots of sharp turns, the car screaming at high revs, classical music playing as I row the gears and go to the very limit of the contact patches of the tyres as the car dances through the turns... cavete terrae.
  4. My brain just did a Hindenburg. cavete terrae.
  5. Well, an Impreza L, which is what he'd presumably want, wouldn't be a speed demon with the 1.8 litre powerplant, but the RS models which were introduced a bit later were fairly quick, and course the WRX is shit-hot. Neither the RS nor the WRX are cheap, though cavete terrae.
  6. Congrats! More importantly, how the hell did a college chick escape my notice on this place? How YOU doin'? cavete terrae.
  7. I don't have one, but they're bulletproof and not to tough to find. I'd check autotrader.com cavete terrae.
  8. Worst... realisation....ever. cavete terrae.
  9. Buffalo chicken strips with cheese and crushed corn chips wrapped in a jalapeño tortilla. mmmmmmm.... extra buffalo sauce, too. I'm the best chef ever. cavete terrae.
  10. Mid-nineties Subaru Impreza FWD cavete terrae.
  11. I expected this thread to take off a lot more. cavete terrae.
  12. I'm taking the 5th on this one. cavete terrae.
  13. Sounds like it should be fairly interesting cavete terrae.
  14. I truly think that, after looking at a map, I should actually hit a lot of DZs, not just one... most of the NoFl DZs seem to be fairly close to eachother.. cavete terrae.
  15. Good deal! As much as I'd love to come down there, I doubt I'll get a chance to until later in the year. I'm planning on having my A by the end of June, at which point the only issue for travel becomes money and gear :) cavete terrae.
  16. Yup...they do hi alti jumps per request....most weekends...only a few dollars more and well worth it. Their KingAir is so fast to alti, you put your helmet on and get prepared to get out as soon as you get in...but it allows you to get in more jumps for the day. The view at Titusville is awesome! Excellent! Speaking of high-alt, I decided that my reward to myself when I get my D in a couple years will be a HALO from 29k down in TN cavete terrae.
  17. http://spiceweasel.net/zap.jpg some of the storm we got last night EDIT: fixed it. cavete terrae.
  18. 15,000'? Not bad. Is Titusville the DZ that goes to 18,000' if you pay extra? cavete terrae.
  19. this saturday!!! Excellent! So what's the new job consist of? cavete terrae.
  20. yeh, you'd think...the "ch" was actually pronounced like "ch" and long "e" so if you can kind of get it- it sounded like: niCHoleeee stupid PhD's! I swear, sometimes it's like the more educated a person gets, the more common sense they lose. I MUST NOT become like that when I get through the PhD programme! Tell ya what, if I ever meet ya in person, I promise to pronounce your name right cavete terrae.
  21. My method of birth control is flawless: My standards are so high that any woman who meets them will have nothing to do with me! cavete terrae.
  22. Uh oh... how'd they pronounce yours? My name is -constantly- being pronounced as Stefen by people. Doesn't really bother me, in fact I kinda prefer it, but... My last name is a whole different story, I've heard it botched so many ways I don't even blink anymore. Yours, on the other hand, doesn't look like it should be too hard? cavete terrae.
  23. My mom conceived me when she was 39, but had me at 40. She went to Vanderbilt for tests before she had me because she was worried about the Down Syndrome risk. I won't argue that I'm not 100% right, but it is a risk that more women are taking these days... I tell her all the time, I would never try and conceive a child at that age... She just laughs... Looks like me like you sure as hell came out ok cavete terrae.
