  1. This is a joke right? So basically what your saying is don't do anything until you see the handles? What if you can't find them until 400-500 AGL, with no AAD? I kmow, don't do nothing until you see your handles. Biggest bunch of crap i've ever heard. You need to go back and re-read the post that you're replying to. It looks like you guys actually agree here. - David (my FJC method below...) SCR #14809 "our attitude is the thing most capable of keeping us safe" (look, grab, look, grab, peel, punch, punch, arch)
  2. Ding Ding! We have a winner! Is he jumping at the Pecos Parachute School? Dude, leave that dropzone and find one that isn't trying to kill you. Unless you're Gumby, there's no reason to have the issues that you've described.

  3. I hope you do find some. I had the idea of using a video projector to project them onto an overhead screen that would be mounted above a hanging harness for EP training. - David SCR #14809 "our attitude is the thing most capable of keeping us safe" (look, grab, look, grab, peel, punch, punch, arch)
  4. I'm not answering your question, but I wanted to say that I was really proud when a high-time jumper complimented me on my landing on jump 32. "Man, that was a great PLF." I'll wear that badge with pride any day. Best luck on finding your range finder. - David SCR #14809 "our attitude is the thing most capable of keeping us safe" (look, grab, look, grab, peel, punch, punch, arch)
  5. Let's just say that I've been very...reflective, lately regarding EPs. I usually go through them every week or two if I'm not jumping, and every time before going to the drop zone. Being a...fat guy (
  6. This is a simple "is it possible" question. I am asking because I genuinely don't know the answer. Would a broken A-line on an outboard cell induce enough canopy rotation to cause significant line twists? Is it possible to miss such a broken A-line on initial canopy evaluation (SSS)? - David SCR #14809 "our attitude is the thing most capable of keeping us safe" (look, grab, look, grab, peel, punch, punch, arch)

  10. WHAT? Please announce who you are if you ever jump at the Farm. With that sort of approach to airspace safety, I don't want to be anywhere near you. I haven't read the rest of this thread yet, but I had to stop when I read this load of stuff. It has tragedy written all over it.

  11. Sounds like I'm right on schedule to follow you on that one (1.5 years to get 33). - David SCR #14809 "our attitude is the thing most capable of keeping us safe" (look, grab, look, grab, peel, punch, punch, arch)
  12. I was checking on here to see if AFFI had logged in recently, and it shows his last login as being in February. His web site isn't out there any more either (mykelpoole.com). I needed to contact him online, but don't have any other information. Anybody know how to contact him? - David SCR #14809 "our attitude is the thing most capable of keeping us safe" (look, grab, look, grab, peel, punch, punch, arch)

  15. You got it. Folks go to bed early at the Farm, since nothing ever happens there. Yep, nothing to see there. Might as well just keep on driving. But if you like to camp with some good people...spend the weekend at the Farm.

    Insomnia Sucks

    Over the last year and a half, I accidentally trained my body to sleep 5 hours per night. I was doing it to keep from having some pretty disturbing dreams...instead of dealing with the cause of the dreams. So, now when I try to sleep at normal hours, I end up waking up at 3 AM and doing nothing for a several hours until I'm tired again. Of course, when I eventually fall back asleep at 6:00 I end up having the damn dreams again until I wake up at 7:00. I hate the subconscious.

  23. The answer is yes, and if you ever have the chance to meet Mike, you will understand why so many people trust him and how he runs his business. He's a very genuine and good person.
