  1. In my experience, that's been me. But I have a limited subset to go on... Owned by Remi #?
  2. Exactly this. You need to get trained before you and your mentors or instructors even know where you need to start with gear, other that that your gear needs to fit. Canopy size and style is going to depend on your weight and ability when you have or are close to a license. There's little point in worrying about it now. Owned by Remi #?
  3. Thanks. I wasn't aware. Owned by Remi #?
  4. When did they change the grace period from +/- 3 months to +/- 6 months? Owned by Remi #?
  5. From the http://www.cypres-usa.com/maintenance_west_hemisphere.htm page "CYPRES needs the factory maintenance 4 years and 8 years after the original date of manufacture (as stated on the serial number label). To avoid any inconveniences, there is a leeway of plus/minus 3 months in which the maintenance will be performed. Should the maintenance date be missed, we are able to perform it at a later date. However, returning a CYPRES for maintenance at a date later than due has no advantages. The subsequent maintenance will still be due at four year intervals from date of manufacture." Owned by Remi #?
  6. I think that it's because you guys look so much alike that light and small movements of your heads make you interchangeable. Owned by Remi #?
  7. Oh, I see what Jerry meant now. It doesn't make sense to me to not mirror the image. Too much metal processing going on if you need to move over to avoid something overtaking you on the left side of the image and also remember that it actually on the right side of the image. Owned by Remi #?
  8. Yeah.... that's the thing about finding the money you want to buy the things that you *want* My personal opinion is the same as Doug's. Find the money to buy the right tools for the job instead of trying to force something to work 'okay' Owned by Remi #?
  9. He's riding along the beach I guess. I don't see what's weird about it. Owned by Remi #?
  10. When god gives you lemons... http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/society/married-gays-to-tour-drought-hit-countries-2014012082721 Owned by Remi #?
  11. Was your tunnel time free? Owned by Remi #?
  12. I really do agree. Honest. I just think that "we" spend way too much effort on suggesting that kids make sure that they're getting what they pay for rather than making sure that they get shit that fits. Owned by Remi #?
  13. Because dying of smallpox is infinitely better than just vaccinating your kids without making sure that jesus approves Owned by Remi #?
  14. So you already know what you intend to do. Kinda makes your post here seem extraordinarily trollish. Go ahead and be a complete fuckwad who thinks that giving your kids a 1 in 10 chance to live is ok. It's not like we don't need organ donors. Owned by Remi #?
  15. You're spending way too much energy on whether or not I'm offended and completely not explaining the difference between jumping borrowed gear for a weekend vs the first weekend jumping *new gear* Owned by Remi #?

  17. didn't expect an answer.... Owned by Remi #?
  18. "we"? Please explain the difference to "us" between jumping borrowed gear for a weekend and jumping new or used gear for the first time on a weekend. Owned by Remi #?
  19. I think that you did the right thing Owned by Remi #?
  20. First off, a huge number of gay couples raise children that are the biological children of one member of the couple..' ...as do a pretty large number of straight couples (knowingly or not) Should the government require that all couples have their DNA compared to their child's DNA and then impose mandatory divorce if there's a mismatch?

  21. I read a study about once that discussed an increase in homosexual pairing in animals as they started to experience population stress (IE, the theory was that as the population grows and food becomes more scarce, there is an increase in the births of homosexual animals). In other words, these animals still paired off with mates of their same sex even though they could not successfully produce progeny. This behavior may help to reduce the population until it is no longer under stress. Gays save the world! Owned by Remi #?
