I have personally witnessed some of those stories when I was at the farm. I have also personally witnessed the other stories when I was at ASC. everything POPS posted, I have seen happen, more than once.

+1 I found that this was one of the hardest things for my brain to grasp when I was learning to swoop.

when are you setting up al? I may come up there during the week. can't be there on the weekend though. nevermind, I see you will be headed up this weekend.

depends on who your swimming with.

those are this years rules. they were updated a few days ago. http://www.fai.org/parachuting/system/files/cpiloting_2009.pdf

I do not see the rates going down any. if anything they will go up. buy low, sell high. right now, they are low.

NO takers? Ego crushing blow I am just NOT feeling the love here. I was a taker, but I wasnt going to tell you. I was going to sneak up on you and take a sucker shot.

WOW, 41? at this time of year? Al, looks like your doing a GREAT job!!

I have a word that the #1 jumpsuit manufacturer will be there also... we all know who that is!

You can use my phone. or mine, verizon rocks!

put it all in a box, send it to me, and i will do an independent review. P.M. me for my address.

ayy, leave me outa this.

ian has always had a big head, no change there. congrats Ian!

engines tend to run the best just before they blow.

I have been hiding and quiet, ya go figure. I think I will be there spence... hope to have more good times! anyone got a place for me to crash?

ok, so maybe I was thinking aluminum. thanks for explaining that.

I seem to remember someone talking about alloy rings. alloy is softer than steel, and there was instances of where the lines burned through the ring and caused rough edges in them. this is just off the top of my memory, from speaking to people, I have no idea where I remember it from. anyone heard this?

read this. it is 11mb and a PDF. let it download. you can even print it. http://www.uspa.org/Portals/0/Downloads/Man_SIM_2009-2010.pdf the answer to your question lies within. I am sure someone will post the answer to your question, but you still should read this. it is the skydivers bible. (I dont feel like looking it up) to answer your 2nd question, I am sure Trey offers a discount as a package for AFF, but your going to have to call them for a price. feel free to post it here to see if it is fair. I am sure it will be, Skydive Atlanta is a fantastic dropzone.

Lame, lame, lame!! I paid $1170 for new truck tires today. you could have called me.

I got .net framework installed. and got your program installed, when I try to run the program I get this error.

I just loaded it though. took 45 minutes. let me know what you think and I will mess with it some tomorrow.

I have seen that video many times.

I have seen that video many times.

I have been using it for a few weeks. I like it. at first with the operating system it came with it was almost unusable. but RIM has been releasing beta operating systems and it is getting better REAL fast. if your looking for mid january, I would say it is a safe bet it will be ready by then. it is getting HUGE improvments each week. RIM is doing a great job in turning this phone into a baddass phone. if you do get one, send me your PIN number on blackberry messenger.

funny, i thought the exact same thing.
