  1. $25 to 13k @ Skydive Santa Barbara (Lompoc, CA) in a Cessna 208 Caravan Gravity Waits for No One.
  2. Well someone's definitely gonna get kicked in the nuts for that. Gravity Waits for No One.
  3. Each company has products that range in quality in order to widen market access. However, Acyterx seems to have the best high-end offerings. If you're tall, then I've found that Mountain Hardware sucks for jackets, as they're never long enough. I have a couple Summit Series North Face jackets and I'm very happy with them. For my GoreTex shell I would have purchased the high-end Acyterx jacket, but the high-end North Face jacket was $200 less ($500 as opposed to $700). As other posters have mentioned, I'd stay away from the cheaper North Face stuff, as it is overpriced crap for the most part... However, their Summit Series is much higher quality in my opinion. Gravity Waits for No One.
  4. It's one of the few things I'm truly afraid of. If they don't lay me down I will pass out 100% of the time. I'd like to help, but heeeellllllllll no. Gravity Waits for No One.
  5. I usually mention something about how many people go through their whole lives without ever living... Then I say something to the effect of, "Well, at least you're not like that, I mean, you mentioned you used to be really into bowling, right?"... Just to remind them of their pitifully boring existence. I'm pretty sure most of the time they don't know if it was an insult or if I was actually being sincere. Gravity Waits for No One.
  6. Granted. However, tomorrow you are going to be falsely accused of murder and end up looking at the sky from behind bars for a maximum of 45min a day for the rest of your life. I wish I had two wishes. One would be whatever I wanted, and the other would automatically defeat the negative component of the wish that the next poster grants me. Gravity Waits for No One.
  7. I was thinking the same thing. Gravity Waits for No One.
  8. Sweet!... Literally. lol Gravity Waits for No One.
  9. I hope she is prepared to get her Atmonauti on! Damn straight... As you can see in my avatar, I definitely know how to get my assmonauti on. Gravity Waits for No One.
  10. Get 7-Zip (http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sevenzip/7z458.exe). It's free, and it's much better than the other options out there. Gravity Waits for No One.
  11. Want a job? lol I won't elaborate. If its as Miss Moody's boy toy then I'll take but she must know that I have a girlfriend and sometimes she would join us. I was referring to your previous position. Not the ones you're fantasizing about with my new girl. Gravity Waits for No One.

  13. What did you do for him? Don't see any ratings listed in your profile. Gravity Waits for No One.
  14. Well, duh. I had that shit on lock before she even posted on here... I called dibs. Dave's doing great apparently... He just had a HUGE hangar built to fit the newer 208 that he actually owns now. Jason who? Gravity Waits for No One.
  15. lol, she said she's moving to San Luis Obispo... Probably too far for ya, but she already knows who she wants so that's a moot point... Gravity Waits for No One.
  16. Game over... She said she's moving to CA.... Gravity Waits for No One.
  17. Even if they have to pay the 2mil (+ monkey-in-a-suit fees), that can't be all that much money for an airline. Gravity Waits for No One.
  18. lol Gravity Waits for No One.
  19. By all means, integrate skydiving into your movie... But please do everything in your power to make it accurate. Like someone mentioned earlier, nothing completely ruins a movie more than incorrectly portraying an activity such as skydiving... Granted, it only ruins the move for people who have experience/knowledge with that particular activity... But, undoubtedly, the worst thing it does is misinform people who don't have experience with the activity. Gravity Waits for No One.

    ATMONAUTI

    They're making Atmonauti out to be essentially a different or parallel sport to skydiving... It's not. It's like if some guy comes up with a new running event... It's still "track and field"... It's still running for that matter. These guys are basically saying that they found a new way to run, that's not actually running, which is completely idiotic. It's still just skydiving, and in most skydiver's opinions, it's only a specialized method of freeflying... That's not even original for that matter. These guys are acting like they just invented the wheel and they're here to show everyone how unbelievably amazing and unique it is. Gravity Waits for No One.
  21. Congrats! Gravity Waits for No One.

    ATMONAUTI

    Exactly. I'm pretty sure nobody on here has anything against atmonauti. However, when it's supporters attempt to excite people about the physical impossibilities like nearly defying gravity and making skydiving safer solely through adjusting your angle of attack to some special "custom tube", they're destroying the credibility of anyone and everything involved with atmonauti. Which is really what the problem comes down to... The roots of this are obviously a few guys trying to make a profit and possibly some fame in the process. I assume they either think people are stupider than they are, or they themselves are a few tickets short of a threeway. Maybe they didn't consider that on average, skydivers are quite a bit more educated (and probably intelligent) than the average person. Even if they had come up with something truly new and unique (which this is definitely NEITHER), a better approach to developing some sort of coaching program would be to ask other expert's opinions as opposed to essentially telling them how things are gonna go down. But I guess that would've completely defeated their purpose. Gravity Waits for No One.
  23. I'm at school... Supposedly I'm working on Fluid Dynamics right now. Gravity Waits for No One.
  24. Travis: What kind of bug spray and how big is my new office? Me: It's some surplus stuff we got at a govt auction from the former USSR... We're SURE it's completely safe though. You've seen the closet, that's where you got caught wanking it during lunch last month, duh. Gravity Waits for No One.
