can a big guy skydive safely?
freeflyguy replied to justin84's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Hell, just ask Gus and Harry if they are dead yet. Couple a big bounders that love to skydive. Plus they are cooler than hell, and heavier than you. Oh, except for the part when the steamroller pausie saw Gus naked. Oooo, Shiver....... ---------------------------- bzzzz -

This is a blowin' up stuff thread, so I must chime in. Only one more interview with ATF (&E) in the wilds of the Idaho wilderness, to inspect our powder magazine, and I will be lawfully obliged by God Bless America, to Blow stuff into little bits. The ATF Dudes are actually pretty cool. Just follow the rules, and you are good to go. If you don't follow the rules. Oops, vacation time in a small locked room. ---------------------------- bzzzz

posting tonight, too much Busch Light I use a Magellen, mostly for hunting, flying a bit, but I like old school nav for flying. GPS when my ass is grass, but haven't been there, yet. So, hunting, you need a real compass. Reason being, I see elk 2 miles away on a ridge, I use the real mag compass to find a bearing to them. Then, you move the GPS cursor to that bearing. That is one thing it cant do, tell you where something is, they only tell you where you are. Then I use the topo program, dead reckoning and all that crap to place the waypoint where the herd is. This way, I walk up on them, without haveing to stick my head up. So way cool! What you described you want it for, you don't need a compass, but, I would definatley buy one that had uploadable database. It is really cool when you are out in po-dunk nowhere, come across a stream, and the GPS says, 'Oh yeah, dude, you are on Brian Creek' . So neato. Oh, the other thing. A compass doesn't need batteries. ---------------------------- bzzzz

Busch Light. What else? ---------------------------- bzzzz

heh heh. I had my first interview with ATF yesterday for my high explosives license I own a gold mine, so have a legit reason to have it. But... The inspector was pretty much like, "It is a felony if..." every other sentance. So I will only use it to blow up "proper" stuff. ---------------------------- bzzzz

I was pondering that the other day. I mostly agree with the reasoning above. My ponder came from the fact that just about every dyter you pick up, will have the 3rd alarm set at 1500. So with that in mind, you would have to set a rule, to check every time you put it on, to make sure somebody hadn't changed it. I would think. You might also scare the snot out of somebody that borrowed it and didn't check it. Fact is, too, seems most people don't know how to check them. Not good. Anyway, my verdict is still out on the last 2000ft 3rd alarm. ---------------------------- bzzzz

Hey, that was you? Heh heh, I have a little Catalina Capri 18. I am going to bring it up here so I can dink around the San Juans. Amazon, want to race? You'd win, but in a sailboat, it is all about being there. Oh, yeah, I beleive in God, I used to know him very well. Sad to say I can no longer call him a friend, my fault not his. I haven't decided yet if I should fix that. Oh well. More beer for the wicked!!! ---------------------------- bzzzz
-
Yeah, What's the deal? Put it back. Your new Avatar is no fun. I might have to get a hacker friend to put it back for you. ---------------------------- bzzzz

That became my rule after that, as well. ---------------------------- bzzzz

My thought. I have a fair number of jumps, but not all that many with camera. What I have noticed though, is that if you jump with a camera, regardless of it's size, or where it is attached, it distracts you from the jump. The fiddeling around makeing sure it is on, focused, set right, blah blah. One time I started walking out to the plane without my rig. Duh. I must blame that on my being distracted with the camera. So this isn't all about deployment, and cutaway helmet systems. It is more about experience in skydiving. you need that before you start adding complexites, such as cameras, wing suits or whatever. Time, experience and training. ---------------------------- bzzzz

Nah, Randy, your good. just call her now. Compliments to you are easy, Andrea. Just feels natural. ---------------------------- bzzzz

Oh, there it is. My PC seemed to like the old picture better. I vote for your new one. Of course when you visited Kapow, you didn't have the oportunity to get all sweaty and yucky jumping. Oh well. Lobster fest at the lake next friday, if you can make it. Should be a blast, stupid skydiver tricks jumping in, beer and lobster. ---------------------------- bzzzz
-
heh! What did you do, change it back? ---------------------------- bzzzz
-
Looks like you found somebody to jump with. I hope all is well. ---------------------------- bzzzz

Now I have to decide between Infinity and Wings
freeflyguy replied to badlock's topic in Gear and Rigging
ah, I can't really agree with her comment. But go Infinity, even if the guys that build them aren't that hot, the rigs are. ---------------------------- bzzzz -
New Skydiver's Question...About Reserve Chute
freeflyguy replied to Kramer's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
900:1 Highspeed, Baglock, I looked at it and thought "ooo, pretty pilot chute and spinning black bag, Ack!!!" About jump 350, but it was the best back adjustment I have ever had. ---------------------------- bzzzz -
At Kapow, and home, It is always Busch Light ---------------------------- bzzzz
