  2. Howcome? It's got the TSO cert in the manual and on the warning label. ____________________ Say no to subliminal messages
  3. Got this off my mother - though you girls would like it
  4. You can buy "speakers" that are only a few 10ths of an inch thick and designed to go into bike helmets, they have a standard 3.5mm connector on them. ____________________ Say no to subliminal messages
  5. Or stick with PISA for all three and get a TearDrop Superfly. I have one, and they're a excellent rig. A lot of riggers / reserve packers over here don't really like the Vortex II as there haev been quality control problems on them (reserve flaps etc). ____________________ Say no to subliminal messages
  6. Nothing to do with the beer.... The "Stella" awards rank up there with the Darwin awards. Stella Liebeck is the 81-year-old lady who spilled coffee on herself and sued McDonalds. This case inspired an annual award - The "Stella" Award for the most frivolous lawsuits in the U.S. The following are this year's candidates: 1. January 2000: Kathleen Robertson of Austin Texas was awarded $780,000 by a jury of her peers after breaking her ankle tripping over a toddler who was running inside a furniture store. The owners of the store were understandably surprised at the verdict, considering the misbehaving little bastard was Ms. Robertson's son. 2. June 1998: A 19 year old Carl Truman of Los Angeles won $74,000 and medical expenses when his neighbor ran over his hand with a Honda Accord. Mr. Truman apparently didn't notice there was someone at the wheel of the car, when he was trying to steal his neighbor's hubcaps. 3. October 1998: A Terrence Dickson of Bristol, Pennsylvania was leaving a house he had just finished robbing by way of the garage. He was not able to get the garage door to go up since the automatic door opener was malfunctioning. He couldn't re-enter the house because the door connecting the house and garage locked when he pulled it shut. The family was on vacation. Mr. Dickson found himself locked in the garage for eight days. He subsisted on a case of Pepsi he found, and a large bag of dry dog food. He sued the homeowner's insurance claiming the situation caused him undue mental anguish. The jury agreed to the tune of half a million dollars. 4. October 1999: Jerry Williams of Little Rock, Arkansas was awarded $14,500 and medical expenses after being bitten on the buttocks by his next door neighbor's beagle. The beagle was on a chain in its owner's fenced-in yard. The award was less than sought because the jury felt the dog might have been just a little provoked at the time by Mr. Williams who was shooting it repeatedly with a pellet gun. 5. May 2000: A Philadelphia restaurant was ordered to pay Amber Carson of Lancaster, Pennsylvania $113,500 after she slipped on a soft drink and broke her coccyx. The beverage was on the floor because Ms. Carson threw it at her boyfriend 30 seconds earlier during an argument. 6. December 1997: Kara Walton of Claymont, Delaware successfully sued the owner of a night club in a neighboring city when she fell from the bathroom window to the floor and knocked out her two front teeth. This occurred while Ms Walton was trying to sneak through the window in the ladies room to avoid paying the $3.50 cover charge. She was awarded $12,000 and dental expenses. And the winner is: Mr. Merv Grazinski of Oklahoma City. In November 2000, Mr. Grazinski purchased a brand new 32-foot Winnebago motor home. On his first trip home, having joined the freeway, he set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the drivers seat to go into the back and make himself a cup of coffee. Not surprisingly the Winnie left the freeway,crashed and overturned. Mr. Grazinski sued Winnebago for not advising him in the handbook that he couldn't actually do this. He was awarded $1,750,000 plus a new Winnie. (Winnebago actually changed their handbooks on the back of this court case, just in case there are any other complete morons buying their vehicles.) ____________________ Say no to subliminal messages
  7. No child should have to put up with being tossed around like this. It sucks man, and I feel for both of ya. My parents divorced when I was about 8, and it sucked, but it worked out cool in the end. Hopefully yours story will come out ok.

  10. The instructor at our dz (and is a very lazy packer), got a 5 jump static line student to pro pack his stilletto 107 for him - following jump, dumped at about 2500, nice spinning mal and chop. ____________________ Say no to subliminal messages
  11. Must have been one fo the best moments for you there.
  12. It's really easy to do, mail part is to keep the lines tidy and make your you remember which way you put the line twist in so you can take it out. You might want to consider getting a 6 inch bridle extension put on the canopy to make it easier to get the bag on and reduce wear slightly on the top skin if you want to keep psycho packing. ____________________ Say no to subliminal messages
  13. I jump a hornet, and I've psycho'd it a few times and it works nice. The instructions for it with photos and a video are on the Precision Aerodynamics website at http://precision.aerodynamics.com/psycho/psycho_pack.htm ____________________ Say no to subliminal messages
  14. You could try psycho pack - but psycho slows down even quick opening canopies, and on a spectre I'd imaging it'd produce MASSIVE snivels on opening. ____________________ Say no to subliminal messages

  17. Atmosphere Dolphin is Olav's Freefly qualification that you gain with a spaceball and a ballmaster. I can't speak for the other two as they're American. I know PRO rating involves accuracy etc. ____________________ Say no to subliminal messages

  19. Way I always do it (I come from a 182 dz) is face backwards in the door, right foot on the step with hands on either side of the door, then just push out with yuor right foot, legs up on your butt, and arms forward at about 60 degrees (30 degrees from straight forward). I find it's very smooth. ____________________ Say no to subliminal messages
