Looks like an attempt at a french kiss, but is a little unclear on the concept. (Or is that "Freedom Kiss"?) (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me.

So, you should start a numbering system. Give everybody a couple weeks to send in the dates and an xray or two, then issue #s in order of accident date for the first batch, then in order of the date they tell you about it. Then start a web site! Eventually, we could have a DZ.com femur load record! Kinda like pieces of 8, but without the same visual. (I can see it coming: Somebody's gonna flame me for creating another "Look how dangerous skydiving is!" web site.) (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me.

Arms-Grade Uranium Reported at Iran Plant
TitaniumLegs replied to bodypilot90's topic in The Bonfire
That's because they waited for the UN, which gave the bad guys plenty of time to hide their stuff, like in a neighboring country. Your enemy's enemy is your friend. The Iraqis flew a bunch of their fighters to Iran last time around so they wouldn't get kacked. Of course, the Iranians grounded them until it was all over. I never heard whether they were returned or not, but either way, they're available for use by some non-friendly Islamic air force. (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me. -
>How many people do we need for the ground crew? As many as it takes to man the radio, signals, set up any markers or boundary, and keep any spectators out of the landing area. >What exactly do we need to do? The above. >How early/late do we have to be there? Early enough to establish and clear the landing area and establish the communication or whatever with the aircraft. > Is there going to be naked guys running on the > beach playing with the waves again? There were a bunch of those a couple years ago. Steph almost landed on them. Eww! My chick landing on fat naked fags! (Copyright Survivor 1) (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me.

Yeah, like Sebezz said, count me in. High-speed, both femurs. Titanium still in both. Got the 95mm knee-fixing screws out a couple months after since the Ilial-tibial band was rubbing on the heads of them. Still have both rods and one 75mm screw on the upper left. I was back on jump status a little less than 6 months after impact. That was femurs #3 and #4 for Skydive Monterey Bay. Kiwi Matt is #1 and Chris deBar is #2. I'd like to get the rods out. Partly because they are a liability at this point, but also because I want to mount them on a plaque like crossed swords in the military! Wings of nylon - Legs of Titanium.

Actaully, they changed it to land within 2 meters in front of the President of USPA and the director of TSA. (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me.

Yes. (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me.

I'm considering the same thing. If I have concerns about the control of the landing area, I will not jump. We need to take this seriously. If anything ever goes wrong, we will lose this site, just like the Crow's Nest. (Ask one of the Hollister old timers about that. No, older than Sebazz and me.) (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me.

Confirming. Finally got my SO-authorization permit. (Wife's permission). She'll be there, so DON'T ANYBODY LAND ON MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER!!! Seriously, who is ground crewing this? (Steph is not an option, at 8-1/2 months preggers.) Also, has anybody looked at a tide chart to see if the time of the jump coincides with low tide? (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me.

And she brought beer. And Bear. (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me.

Mmmmm..... Purple. From a grape juice TV ad from about 20 years ago... "I like purple much better than orange!" (And BING!, the whole kitchen turns purple.) (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me.

Of those, probably the Otter, but they're all pretty cool each for it's own reasons. If I could buy any plane for a fantasy DZ, it would be a DHC5 Buffalo, the Otter's big brother. (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me.

Before you go any further, call 800-cc-rider and get into a safe riding class, unless you've already taken one. The safe riding class gets you out of taking the practical test, since it's built-in to the course. It's only an evening and most of a weekend. Let's ride! (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me.

That's for tandem. This is funny because it says you have to be at least 18, and have been in the sport for 3 years. In the BSRs it says you have to be 16 to jump at all (any method other than tandem), so it's is not possible to be a TM at 18 by the rules. Bwahaha! The other thing is how do you define "three years in the sport"? To me it means maintained currency for that time. It could also be interpreted as "I made a tandem 3 years ago, sat on my ass for 2.5 years then slammed out 500 jumps in six months." For the full poop on ratings, see the IRM Essentials. If you don't already have it, grab the SIM while you're there. (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me.

New Airline Regulations (my recent trip to texas..)
TitaniumLegs replied to kevin922's topic in The Bonfire
That's good, I think. Or at least a start. Some airlines have been doing this in practice for a while. I've been on a couple flights this year when they did it. I just htought they were being cool. The difference is that they don't want to have to walk through at the end of the runway and tell you to turn the phones off, especially since most people don't immediately comply. They don't want any chance of a phone being on during takeoff. Taxiing to the gate, the only risk is that you might still be on the phone while trying to get your overweight roller bag down from the overhead luggage rack. (Of course this already happens, so the additional risk is negligible). (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me. -
That's really gross. (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me.

3 2 (French and German) are pretty rusty, since I live in California. Actually, now that I think of it, since I've been living and working with Americans pretty much since 1987, my English is getting pretty bad, too! (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me.

just saw the most retarded skydiving scene ever in a movie

Nah. I kinda follow the same standard many European women follow. I don't shave or trim legs, pits or pubes. Although, I supposed if Steph ever indicated it was an issue, I would. (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me.

I've never actually made a skydive. I learned everything I know from watching "Drop Zone", "Point Break" and "Cutaway" and from reading rec.skydiving. That's all real right? (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me.
