So let me get this straight, because I'm FAR from having all the facts... The U.S. conducts a "hit" on a high ranking Iranian General on Iraq soil, the international airport none the less! Does anyone else see a problem with this? Lets discuss our future!

I was very uneasy with the amount of gun fire heard at midnight. People are fucking stupid...

You'll be fine with a Spectre. Bigger is better... The bottom line with WS deployments is packing for a faster deployment and controlling your body position through out the entire deployment sequence. Also understanding the IMPORTANCE of equal harness in put and how to mitigate line twists when they begin will help A LOT! Read up, there are plenty of good topics/treads/info around here and on the webs. Daniel Darby with Arcus WS in deland is a well rounded coach just to mention one of MANY talented pilots eager to welcome you to the flock!

Worked pretty ok. Ever have a wingsuit chop??? Completely different animal. Harry Houdini would have approved!

It's tough being different! It's also very refreshing to see people embrace CHANGE! Hope you had a most excellent solstice! I was treated to my favorite moon phase on the crisp morning of Dec 24th. The little things in life that most people overlook bring joy to my heart! ~HAPPY NEW YEAR

Go to LEARN. Ask questions and make it known that you are there to become a better skydiver. AND GOOD BEER, ALWAYS be the person that brings good beer! lol

Having trouble figuring out this whole "life" thing
timski replied to Madigan's topic in The Bonfire
I'm no life coach, but having been a part of the "sky family" since the late 90's , If I could do it all over again, I'd live at the DZ packing chutes and work my way through until I achieved ALL the ratings. This community is like no other. Mostly VERY supportive and willing to help whenever we can. Now about college, Spend that money elsewhere! Find what truly makes you happy and do it ALL the time! After breaking up with the Army after our 8+ year relationship I found two passions, skydiving and disc golf. After my separation I had NO skydiving gear and no really close DZ's to visit. However, I did have an amazing selection of disc golf courses to choose from AND many mentors and the drive to play (a lot) and become great at it. After just a couple/few years I was competing with the big dogs and really found my place in the universe. And then after a ten year hiatus from skydiving my interest got renewed with watching wingsuiters. I now find myself married with children, have a nice home, still jump, still play DG and found my career in the fire service from which I hope to retire from in a couple years. FIND YOUR PASSION! Also, try to forget about everyone else and there perception of you and what THEY expect. It's YOUR life, live it the way YOU want. -
Skydiving videos are so expensive at Perris...
timski replied to David Wang's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
don't forget that RARELY does one pass the entire AFF course without repeating one or more jumps. Or what we call, expensive mistakes. Even more chedder! -
Barracuda Freestyle and Havok Carve for Wingsuit Acrobatics
timski replied to meteora's topic in Wing Suit Flying
I'd go with the PROVEN company! Not bashing the lesser known, but... Phoenix Fly for the win. -
Carry-On on Check Rig on Airlines?
timski replied to PlaneFun's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I don't hide it, tie both handles with pull up cords and don't take your eyes off of it while it gets handled... I've only done this twice from BWI to Florida... No issues to report. Obviously, check the hook knives. -
cut thru the BS with some https://www.amazon.com/Gochujang-Korean-Chili-Sauce-7-5Oz/dp/B00OQGC20U/ref=asc_df_B00OQGC20U/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312193075834&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7988114419382336244&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9008020&hvtargid=pla-569021466949&psc=1

LMFAO!!! Flakey for sure.

I've learned to live with a lot of injustice sir. Not exactly meant or directed as an insult. I do however see that it could read as such. I don't retract, I'm circumcised.

IF THIS ISN'T A CRY FOR HELP, I'M FUCKING BLIND. Stop feeding it. GET HELP DUDE. Because we care. https://www.crisistextline.org/suicide?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI2JuVy6Tr5QIViZyzCh2UZQBTEAAYASAAEgI0p_D_BwE https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/

When "we the people" demand term limits, perhaps the tides will begin to turn in our favor. We have a long road ahead and some serious changes to make.

This is a whole different version of the butt dialing I know of!!! HAHA.

and by that comment, I guess your a proud fucking civilian? (PFC) even non military may get it! Not trying to get your goat, just perspective, from someone who's walked A LOT of miles in my issued combat boots.

Mayor Pete, but it's a long shot... For ALL THE REASONS! I firmly believe that in order to command our armed forces, having served in should be a presidential requirement. Run with it!
-
Those questions I posed were answered by others on this thread. I stand by my stance however, of eating what you kill. No need to give excuses as to why you would do anything otherwise. Unless of course it's a large mammal with big teeth that has the sole intent of making you dinner.
-
Given that you've identified yourself as someone who kills things and doesn't eat them (yes, I assume A LOT) you already have made my shit list! Not to get off on a tangent... As someone who understands firearms and the need for them, I also understand the need for "gun control". Controlling the ammo is the most successful way IMO to help mitigate the control point. I happen to live in PA where carrying a gun is almost a right of passage. So I don't know the struggles you left coasters deal with! What is the deal with mail ordering ammo??? Reloading options??? Now about killing snakes...? Live and let live. Because KARMA.

Let me know when or where you see the Atair Winx advertised??? Seek and you shall find the truth!

I honesty don't know why everyone isn't going this route on ALL rigs???

FUNNY STUFF, but so much more viewed from the comfort of Canada no doubt. Yes, I envy you right now! Insert blowing kiss emoji.
