  1. lol..some of those are pretty funny but i guess you gotta give the whufo's some credit i mean its not there fault there 'different'
  2. You said you read LOTR but did you read the hobit? Not sure why but i thought it was way better. Its really short but like the best book i've ever read.
  3. One day while I was reading a magazine I found..
  4. Ahh we used to do this in class instead of actual work The first one in the list with my name was some kinda online obituary... That don't boost the ego
  5. hmm i've never seen these before. From the picture it looks like the third riser is just the brake line? What's the advantage of this design or is it just something different?..
  6. The dudes in the white coats let me out at least once a week....sometimes twice
  7. They don't get much more insane then us And yeah like scott i gotta see this video!!!
  8. That is that madest yet most insane thing i have every heard!!! But still damn sweet!
  9. is that niagra falls?!?!?! I never seen it before but damn that things huge!!!
  10. geez, what kind of plane are you jumping? must be big if there's people in it you aren't aware of! lol...a plane with an eco!
  11. But its had to enter the atmosphere so that would heat it up?... or are you saying that falling it would be air cooled..
  12. What a dumbass that guy is! "No i'm sorry people but i know more about these units then the people who made, designed and service them. I don't care if they say there not airworthy I say they are. But i sure would like to get my hands on one of those units for like 10 bucks just to open it up and see how it works. Now that'd be interesting! But jumping with it...I don't think so. I'd rather pay the extra and get me a cypres that hasn't been in a train accident thanks
  13. lol..ahh yes sorry wasn't thinking...but still at ?40 mph? it would still be pretty hard to forget to pull
  14. Well its just so easy to forget about that ground when its rushing up at 120 mph isn't it!?!?

    Alright sorry but it has to be done I have to post a topic about prospective gear. I'm 55kg at the very most (it varies between 50-55kg) and i have 33 jumps and have been jumping that smallest student canopies we have, 228. I am looking around for gear. I have been told by my CI to look for something around the 150-160 range (no lower then a 150) and that a 170 would be a waste of time for me. Assuming that i'm 110 pounds (??pounds are just double kilo's right??) and gear weights 20 pounds then i'd load a 150 at 0.87, so not all that high at all. Thanks all in advance for there advice
  19. You can't even do this can you? Isn't it 3 months either side of the service date that they'll accept it... Can you actually send it to them for testing if you have doubt in the unit?
  20. yeah i know..i was damn diapointed as well The lead up and then nothing!
  21. working tomorrow (thats sunday in oz) and its supposed to be really nice to! 28 degree's!!! and i'll be inside cooking disgusting crap that nobody should be eating anyway
  22. don't tubes cost a shitload? getting rid of the tube every time you jump with it seems like a bad idea if you don't wanna lose it...
  23. I can't remember anything at all before my canopy was open on my first few jumps but i was the same with the smile..i have a photo of me after my first freefall. smile from ear to ear
