  3. Mitch: You know, um, something strange happened to me this morning... Chris Knight: Was it a dream where you see yourself standing in sort of sun-god robes on a pyramid with a thousand naked women screaming and throwing little pickles at you? Mitch: No... Chris Knight: Why am I the only one who has that dream? SCR #14809 "our attitude is the thing most capable of keeping us safe" (look, grab, look, grab, peel, punch, punch, arch)
  4. So I just had another bizarro dream. I was in some sort of huge performance theater. It looked like the Lincoln Center. There was a group of workers building a set on stage that was three stories tall. I kept needing to take a nap, so I would go outside of the seating area where the lobby should be and sleep on my bed out there (of course). Then, guys from The Farm started to arrive. I went back into the theater and they were all getting their stuff together. They were BASE jumping inside the theater from the top balcony. I was going around asking if anybody had a 180 base rig. What? Was I crazy? I wanted to jump inside of a theater with a 180 base rig. I've got to stop eating weird food before going to sleep...and then waking up at midnight.

  8. Try Transcending Fear: Conquering the Enemy Within (Brian Germain). I read the Skydiver's Handbook (Dan Poynter) and it made a good companion to the SIM. Be sure you get the latest edition (10th I think). - David SCR #14809 "our attitude is the thing most capable of keeping us safe" (look, grab, look, grab, peel, punch, punch, arch)

  10. You're supposed to laugh. It's a joke. Get it? RDR (har-dee-har) (his post is missing "r", "r", and "d"...and supporting information to let us know what the heck he is talking about)

  12. Good poker guys. It was fun being on top for a while...and then "pulling a Shrek". See you there next week. SCR #14809 "our attitude is the thing most capable of keeping us safe" (look, grab, look, grab, peel, punch, punch, arch)

  14. My guess is that most who are dangerous don't realize that they are dangerous. It takes a good instructor to know how to balance the info on how to improve with the info that they are not going to be a successful skydiver.

  17. I don't have any solutions, but I wanted to let you know that I'm having the same thing. I've never had shoulder injuries, but after jumping I've been having pain in just my left shoulder. I can feel it if I raise my elbow higher than my shoulder. I'm hitting the Advil and waiting for it to subside. It showed up after my 3rd and 4th jumps.

  18. Good point. I did my student pilot work at Dekalb-Peachtree (PDK), and trust me, when you get used to putting a little 150 or 172 in the pattern and working with the very busy communications with all the big boys at PDK, you can get around at almost any airport.

  20. Get a high lift wingsuit on, and you could use the kick from the faster air to go back up into the slower air. A little like the was an albatross uses dynamic soaring to cover distance with less effort. By the way, dynamic soaring with rigid wings is amazing over earth ridges. - David SCR #14809 "our attitude is the thing most capable of keeping us safe" (look, grab, look, grab, peel, punch, punch, arch)
  21. Get a really fast plane and you can do a downwind jump run. SCR #14809 "our attitude is the thing most capable of keeping us safe" (look, grab, look, grab, peel, punch, punch, arch)
  22. Explain please. Do you mean that the "air mass" you are talking about has rigid boundaries? There's only one place that I can think of where there is anything close to a rigid boundary and it's around 0' AGL. But even that boundary is not rigid. It's just a point where the neighboring mass is not fluid (or easily influenced by the air current). Bodies of water come in second (more easily influenced).

    Would that be a total malfunction (nothing out of the sack) or just a nasty case of bag lock (sack lock)? He should really have a hook-knife. SCR #14809 "our attitude is the thing most capable of keeping us safe" (look, grab, look, grab, peel, punch, punch, arch)
