    anyone who knows "Vern" (a.k.a. Big Perm, Sperm) who jumps out @ Richmond -- we are throwing a MASSIVE party this weekend in honor of his birthday. You may have jumped with him @ Cleveland or Z-Hills/Skydive America over winter. anyway, our plane will be floying back-to-back loads all weekend, we're grilling out, have recruited a strip pole -- and many more goodies. please come out, we are really hoping to get some large (successful

    when i first started jumping (4 years ago), everything was ripcord.... now SWC has begun phasing it out & is using BOC throw-out. why not prepare students for a BOC from day 1? personally, i had 50 ripcord jumps before being trained for BOC. see the world! http://gorocketdog.blogspot.com

    everyone is so anti-hitting because there are "other alternatives to disciplining your child"..... i can understand this & there is often a fine line between discipline and abuse.... however, i think if you help your child to understand why he/she merited physical discipline, that is constructive. in the end, kids will remember the love you give them more than the spankings see the world! http://gorocketdog.blogspot.com

    IN MY OPINION, work it out on your own, do solos, learn with experience (sometimes it's cheaper than coaching too!)

    So -- back to an original question -- by releasing a main toggle, will it (in most cases) go into a downplane? that's the impression i got from some skydivers debating this with me. Also, if the canopies DO start to separate, would you cutaway *with confidence* that the main risers would clear? ThAnKs! ~hollywood see the world! http://gorocketdog.blogspot.com

    MUAHAHAHA.... yes, i wish it was me in the picture.... it's Angelina Jolie. i just hit 200 jumps & thought it'd be a good idea for a refresher on safety -- and thats what started the dialogue about 2 canopies out. and i jump @ Skydive Wayne County (Richmond, Indiana) and my social security # is 889-46-6561

    what is everyone's experience or concept of a bi-plane (reserve in front -OR- reserve in back) or a side-by-side? i always worry that i am not going to know what to do if i have this mal. other skydivers have told me: - don't do anything (but what about obstacle avoidance?) - wait til the canopies separate and quickly cut the main away - pull on risers to make a downplane (this worries me because i have no upper body strength) - force it into a downplane by releasing the main's toggle (does this typically hold true? is it possible for the main to spin up around the reserve?) Any theories, thoughts, or comments are very much appreciated [:) Perhaps this has already been answered & i missed it... ~hollywood see the world! http://gorocketdog.blogspot.com

    since obviously she has somewhat strung you along throughout 2 years (intentional or not) and you allowed it, by "taking time off to spend with her" i think you will feel even more lost & confused.... good luck! see the world! http://gorocketdog.blogspot.com

    i wouldn't for all of the above said reasons BUT ALSO because if i ever wanted to resell my reserve, it would depreciate the value even more ~hollywood see the world! http://gorocketdog.blogspot.com
