marks 0 #3 July 8, 2004 there is definatly alot of visiuals do deal with, but that isnt such a bad thing. it is easier when you set up gates Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pyke 0 #4 July 8, 2004 Perhaps Ian, and this is a only a perhaps... it's because you're used to jumping less than 20 minutes after the clouds part...and when it's sunny and clear - you can't get the 'visuals' you need!!! That was one hell of a superman, though...across the GA red clay!! (hey - there's an idea for swoop meet - the GA RED CLAY event...has a nice ring to it!)

LoudDan 0 #9 July 13, 2004 Ian, I won't tell him that the trick is to make a hole in the ground,slightly smaller than the diameter than the PVC pipe, and then lightly tap the motherfucker in. I'm interested to see his response as I have already paid the rent...... Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marks 0 #17 July 15, 2004 well.. the entry gate will be set up over water. so i take it that the course will be with a left hand carve. me and hans are going to set up somthing o practice on this weekend. hole bigger than pole.... got it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skyedivr 0 #18 July 15, 2004 loudan said hole smaller than pole..... Ian said hole larger than pole..... makes you wonder what Ian has to work with.... if you make the hole larger than the pole they will come out too easy. u gots ta cut the PVC on an angle so it'll drive into the ground. Ian failed to mention that also. you are a mechanic....you can figure it out mark. my power is beyond your understanding. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
