Is there somewhere that has the descriptions of the various Wings container sizes? I've been all over their website and can't seem to find this information anywhere. I was also recently told that they have a thing on their site that tells you exactly how do to the measurements for a new rig. I'm assuming that this is something more than the little diagram on their ordering form. Again, I can't seem to find this anywhere. Any help on where either of this information is located would be greatly appreciated. "Your mother's full of stupidjuice!" My Art Project

I just hope that all the major boogies decide that they're selling a large enough amount of jump tickets that they they don't feel the need to make the jump tickets more than they were last year. It was refreshing to see that jump tickets at WFFC were still just $20 after a whole summer of hearing how prices were rising at different DZ's. "Your mother's full of stupidjuice!" My Art Project

Around this time last year, many DZ's started raising their jump ticket prices in an apparent attempt to keep up their (however slight) profit margins in response to the rising price of gas. It looks like gas prices are going to get even worse this summer. What do you think the chances are that jump ticket prices at some DZ's might again go up? If they do go up, again, how will that affect your jumping habits? Will you jump just as much and just pay more or will you actually cut back a bit in an effort to keep your skydiving budget under control. Personally, I spent every weekend for about a month, last summer, at a DZ that was further away than other DZ's in my area, because I liked the DZ and the people there, right up to the point where they decided to raise their jump ticket price from 20 to 21. All of a sudden it didn't seem as attractive to me to spend my weekends there anymore. "Your mother's full of stupidjuice!" My Art Project

Along these same lines, if a wingsuit is a bit larger in the bicep and thigh and stomach area than I am, but still fits pretty good otherwise, would this be a flyable wingsuit for me? The main benefit I see to this is that everyone says to measure for a wingsuit with the most clothing you might wear underneith it. Well I can have baggy pants and a sweatshirt on under it no problem. Thoughts? "Your mother's full of stupidjuice!" My Art Project

I did a couple jumps during the day, and then got jumped in the middle of the night. No beer and no green, but I sure wasn't complaining. "Your mother's full of stupidjuice!" My Art Project

81 (avg mph on the second half of a track dive ):5:0 2 track dives, one on my back, one on my belly 3 freefly dives where I got some decent video of an up-and-coming freeflyer learning what it feels like to sitfly. Not a bad weekend at all for February in Indiana.

Sa-weet! Nice video J-rock. Glad I was able to make it onto the video, since I'm an Indiana guy and wasn't there for most of the season. Glad I was there when they were doing those sweet hybrids too. The Gravity Pirates rock! "Your mother's full of stupidjuice!" My Art Project

I doubt the punk ass kid has insurance and I only carry PL&PD, and I doubt the cops will do anything considering a) I don't have a license plate number and b) the incident happened in Davis and the punk ass kid lives in Sac. Ah America... Where everyone feels it's their right to bitch and moan about every little thing, but are too lazy to take the appropriate steps to do anything about it.

No not every one who graduates law school is a "lawyer." All states require "lawyers" to pass the bar exam, after which you're a "lawyer." I've worked as a lawyer for the 10 years since law school & have won multi-million dollar jury verdicts. What have you done? Oh, and by the way, your ability to pass the LSAT means nothing when it comes to being a lawyer. You can be the smartest person on earth and still be a lousy lawyer. All this I already know, calm down big boy, I wasn't saying you were a bad lawyer. What have I done? I realized, early on, that being a lawyer wasn't for me (mentioned that in my first post.).

Everyone who makes it through law school, even if they end up last in the class is a lawyer so that's not saying much. Are you a good lawyer? Cause that's what's really important. "Your mother's full of stupidjuice!" My Art Project

Make sure that you definately want to be a lawyer. Because unless you've just got money that you don't know what to do with, you'll finish law school realizing you don't want to be a lawyer, and will have huge amounts of student loans to pay off and no sure way to do that. If you're thinking about doing it just because it sounds cool to have the degree, or because your not ready to leave college yet (both partial reasons for why I went to law school), save you're money. If you aren't ready for the real world yet, pick up another bachelors with another 2 years of college. Of course if you truly want to be a lawyer, go for it. But realize that it is a completely different experience that college has been up to this point. You won't be aiming for a specific letter grade, but to be as close to the top of the class as you can. Plus you'll probably do more reading (and drinking) than you ever have before in your life. I spent a semester in law school, and halfway through it, I realized that while I kind of enjoyed the academic aspect of it, the financial hole that it was putting me into wasn't worth it, plus the majority of law students are self-serving, shallow people. I doubled my existing student loans that first semester and am glad that I realized I didn't want to do it, before I was any further in. If you decide on law school, do lots of research and be super prepared before your first day of class. I read "primer" books on each area of law that I had a class in [civil procedure, torts, legal writing, contracts, etc.], and it made the classes infinitely easier, because all the concepts that the professor introduced, in as convoluted a way as possible, I had already gotten the basic gist of before school had even started.

You really can't compare someone who just flies camera giving their footage away to a professional camera flyer (at least a good one) selling their footage and related services. I have a camera, and generally I am more than happy to share my footage with others, as long as I'm given credit for it when it is shown to someone else, and as long as they want it to watch, not to use it to make them money. I don't consider myself a good enough of a camera flyer, to charge people for my footage, so if they want it, I will usually give it to them. But saying that I'm undercutting a skilled camera flier by doing this isn't really comparing apples and apples. I could go over to someone's house and help them do yard work, as a friendly gesture, but that doesn't mean that I'm undercutting a professional landscaping company that would have normally charged for yardwork and landscaping. The company that does it professionally can do it professionally because they are significantly better at it, and the results are much more polished. Now it's entirely possible that my footage will get to the point where it is good footage that people should pay me for, and if that ever happens, then I will consider not giving it away anymore and trying to do it "professionally", but that is my choice and my decision as to whether I think my services are good enough to provide to people for compensation other than the joy of doing it. The only people who should be whining about people giving away video are the "professional" camera folks who aren't really that good, and as a result are genuinely threatened by better amateur camera fliers who will give their footage away. To those people I say, get better! It's called capitalism, if your services are really worth what you are charging for them then people will pick up on that, and get a better product in the process. If they take free video that is easily inferior to your more refined product then be content knowing that they just got a subpar memory of a potentially once in a lifetime event. You get what you pay for. If your video/stills aren't good enough to be noticeably better than Mr. I-Fly-Camera-For-Fun's, then you deserve to be losing business to their charitability. EDIT: I think the focus of what I've posted here is a little bit tangental to the original purpose of this thread, but it still applies, at least marginally. "Your mother's full of stupidjuice!"

This is a stupid idea. All this will do is make carpooling (which still has the potential to save more gas that hybrid cars) less desireable, because now the carpool lane will be clogged up with a bunch of people driving their hybrids alone. I think there is a 2005 Honda Accord Hybrid now too. "Your mother's full of stupidjuice!" My Art Project
