    Isn't this forum partnered with www.rockclimbing.com? Surely that would be the place to go for a start? __________________ BOOM Headshot

    Much as I wanted to see the Germans get hammered, I kinda don't want to face them in the next round (if England top their group and Germany come runners up in their's that is what happens). So glad they won. Personally i thought the deserved it, had the best chances klosse missed a sitter of a header. Big game starts in just under an hour and a half and the company I work for is closing early :) COME ON ENGLAND!!! __________________ BOOM Headshot

    I know about the student rigs, although I believe they are for reserve side instructors to deploy students rather than the student to deploy themselves. And of course the reserve handle being on the opposite side makes a lot of sense and I was aware that is what the guy should have done in this situation (and of course is the same reason i said that discussion was best left for a different thread). I can reach the centre of the bottom of all the containers I have used so far, although I suppose not everyone can. I suppose it's something that could be done, but isn't really needed and thus not implicated. Was just wondering if there were technical reasons for not doing it. __________________ BOOM Headshot

    Read a thread about a guy who dislocated his right shoulder in freefall, the guy in question deployed his main with his left hand, whether he did right or wrong is not what I want to discuss (use the thread in safety & training if you do). My question is couldn't we have a main deployment system that could be deployed from either side? What would be the drawbacks of a PC with the handle in the centre of the BOC pouch? I haven't learnt to pack yet and am not 100% on bridle routes, but would this be possible? __________________ BOOM Headshot

    Good idea doing tunnel time, hopefully should give you confidence to be in control during AFF without the pressure of the ground coming up at you at 120mph. End of the day it's all about having fun, don't loose sight of that, smile! :D __________________ BOOM Headshot

    With contact lenses not a prayer, I have lost lenses wearing goggles (not tight enough). So without I would be severly buggered. __________________ BOOM Headshot

    I am a huge football fan (it's a sport you play with your foot, so I am gonna call it football, don't like it tough). Play every week watch whenever I can. Love it!! 2 Weeks to go Rooney is out :( COME ON ENGLAND! __________________ BOOM Headshot

    Definitely tunnel (if you have one close by) __________________ BOOM Headshot

    Asymmetrical means 0 is in a watch like position, it's at 90 degrees to your arm, asymmetrical means it's inline with your wrist with 0 pointing at your middle finger. I'm sure one of these statements is supposed to start with the word symmetrical Wow I really couldn't have got that much more wrong

    Definitely a valid point, I had the perscription for the lense I lost looked at and it was slightly out, it fits better now (had previously lost same prescription lense in tunnel). __________________ BOOM Headshot

    From tunnel and the small amount of freefall I have, I have found that goggles with a foam padded edge (I have sorz) are the best. Not fun loosing a lense on your 12th jump when you are -7.5 __________________ BOOM Headshot

    Daft as it sounds I find it much easier to judge my flare height if I land near other people. I think it's either because I flare when my feet get a couple of feet above their head, or I am extra careful because I don't want to fuck up around others lol. __________________ BOOM Headshot

    I have seen student rigs with reserve side pilot chute deployment (basically a way for the reserve side instructor to throw the PC). I would imagine adjustable ML web would be biggest difference. Possilbly different AAD installed? __________________ BOOM Headshot

    That would be useful for naked jumps

    Bedford and airkix are you option. Bedford = 16ft Airkix = 12ft You decide (and yes I know that not the only considerations, feel free to add reasons why airkix is better than bedford if you feel like it) __________________ BOOM Headshot

    Nice job, now all you need to do is correct the one cycling on the main page and you can have a rest http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/adcycle/adcycle.cgi?gid=67&layout=multi&id=2400 __________________ BOOM Headshot

    Setup wasn't bad, chains are for adjusting the height of the lights, obviously hydroponics, ventilation looks good, although not CO2 canister in sight. As for how they were caught, I suppose their lavish lifestyle (news article mentions a yacht), I suppose they could have got away with the electricity bill if they said they were mining. 5 year investigation, 100 pounds every 8 weeks, lets say $150 and ounce? (52/8x5)x 100 x 16 x 150 = 7.8 million dollars Lot of money (obviously less expenses) __________________ BOOM Headshot

    I did think that, the one they are raffling off is the same model I have and it looks nothing like that. __________________ BOOM Headshot
