DocPop! Didnt know you were still around. Good for you and hope that your progression is going well. To the OP, the way to introduce yourself is put on your big boy pants and pull them all the way up. Clench the waistband in your teeth. This serves a dual purpose, it allows the ears to hear and keeps the hands free so you can type instead of holding your crotch. Notice you cant open your mouth without showing your ass? Good, most of these guys dont like crack and they will let you know who does. AggieDave already gave you good advice. Take it. Most of the best advice here comes from guys that have names that start with a D or an I. The best way to begin is who you are, where you are jumping, wingloading, canopy courses taken and with whom, current coach you are working with, and where you are at in the progression. It is called establishing your bona-fides or your criculum vitae if your yhe academic type. Once done, I think you will find the cc place quite nice. Just showing up pulling on risers doesnt cut nuts here. I have no problem telling you that Ive started from square one three times on three canopies, I have taken the basic course with Swanson at SDD, passed on Tommy Dillibacs course at a DZ that does not allow HP turns (probably a mistake), and then took the advanced course at Dallas. Have not jumped since Oct. Nobody here would advise that I should go out and bust a 270 tomorrow. Sure I could set an alarm in my ear based upon all my altitude notes and crap depending on where I decide to do it and could probably pull it off but not being current and having a recent sight picture it would more than likley get me into the corner and require a dig out. So the tandems and whuffos may go wow but those in tje know will go ouch. Just my 2 cents, take it or leave it. Me I am bqck to S1. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude.

Yea, I was thinking Sangi too as I read thru the thread. Then there was the guy before Sangi that Sangi was told to use as an example. He's dead. I forgot his name because Sangi lived and posted video. So goes the forum. And the hampster keeps the wheel going round and round. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude.

Obviously he was a friend whom I trusted with my gear but when it does not come back and he avoids the responsibility of purchasing his own..... The DZO would be of no help since we are not on speaking terms and I'm not welcome on his DZ. When I stopped jumping at the local DZ, all the locals stopped talking to me. My rigger who rigged for me and the DZ for years has dropped out of sight and is no longer a TI there either. I have the S/N but it's in his rigger's log too. As I thought, a rigger who knows the usual jumpers would not bother to check a stolen gear list. I guess I'll file a police report, I don't think any good will would come of me going out and pulling the handle on the sport rig while he's up on a tandem. Probably get arrested for tresspass or some shit and I don't need that. Just want my shit back. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough.

Has anyone ever got anytihing back because they posted on the stolen gear list? Riggers do you even check it? I lent a supposed friend a reserve over a year ago and I can't get it back. I have contacted him via text and email and don't know his address now but he's had my shit since at least January of 2011 when I sent a main off for reline. For a couple of years, he's supposed to be getting a PDR143 but that's never happened. Engineer, TI and makes good money but instead all I see on FB is a new boat and exotic vacation pics. Should I post my shit in the stolen gear list or file a police report, or both. I want to sell the rig but don't really want to part it out. The longer I stay in this sport, the more I realize that you have no friends below 2K and none on the ground either. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude.

I don't think there is an Atair USA anymore but you can email Stane directly and he will respond. I needed cy Cobalt relined two seasons ago and he said that they still support all thier canopies and I worked it thru Base Troll I thinki. Yes NW Flyer, there are plenty of Atair canopies out there and they came out with the Radical a couple of five years ago. Look in the classifieds, there is someone in TX who used to be a rep that is always posting small Cobalts and Comp Cobalts for sale. You might want to PM him for info. I don't remember who it is but I think he used to be a DZO. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough. That's fucked up.

Show em your............. BOOBIES! I'm suprised that you slack asses let Shah throw his up before the correct answer made it. This sport is slipping and it ain't from downsizing.

I was at Savute's here in ICT for Skip Gallagher's send off and Smitty is well known there. The lady that runs the place is at least in her 70s nd said that Smitty was quite the character and ladies man. I asked her if she ever visited Smitty's station wagon and she laughed and said she was a proper girl back then. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude.

Actually the difference between the two is one carbon. Propane is a 3 carbon alkane and and butane is a 4 carbon alkane. Propane C-C-C or C3H8 Butane C-C-C-C or C4H10 Propane has a lower melting point and boiling point than butane. Alkanes react with oxygen in a combustion reaction. The higher number of carbons, the less complete the reaction. LPG contains both propane and butane. Know you know the real difference but while we're going all oil patch redneck, your average Joe Fart would be an alkane too! CH4 or methane. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude.

Nope never. I have had dreams about a guy that went in right in front of me but it was just seeing the event like it happened and nothing changes in it. I rarely dream so it is a little weird but I figure something triggers it but I don't know what. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough.

Any idea what pipes are on that sweet chop? I ordered some months ago and the production run keeps getting pushed back. I run stockers with the rear baffle cut out on my Classic.

Shah, Please do us a favor and move here. There is a DZ 10 minutes from here and my wife is a marriage and family therapist. I figure with just you as her sole client, I could quit my job and your sessions would pay for all my jump tickets for the next 20 years. Yes I do share your prolific posts with her and no her services are not free. Please consider moving as it would be a big win-win and I want to LTD. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude.

interesting, I didn't realize that a DZO had authority to regulate airspace or activities therein. i guess the DZO can deny you lift or landing rights but banning CReW would fall to the FAA would it not?

It's renewal time and I'm going to drop my Coach and IAD-I ratings because I don't have anybody to sign the renewal and a DZ close to work IAD at.

Go thru basetroll. There is a lady in FL that is the rep here in the US. I got ahold of Stane via email and he hooked me up with a new slider and I processed payment thru her. The loft at CSC did my Cobalt reline with no problem. In way less time than I got a Pilot reline thru Aerodyne. Love my CO and looking for a 135 also so you better be fast VTman.

Intertek? Mmmmmm yea, are they gonna need you to work on Saturday? It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough. That's fucked up. Watermelons do not grow on trees! ~Skymama

The last one I brewed or maybe the Trappist that's in my primary fermenter right now.

Personally I like it. It is a natural way to learn for most folks nowdays. People want information so they turn to the web. Having jumped with people who went thru Jen's course I think it an option who's time has come. That said, Jen was my Coach Course I/E but I don't jump at her DZ very much. She is an excellent teacher and even though I was not familiar with her on-line FJC at the time, she explained it and then we incorporated the instructional elements of the method into our coach course. I am very familiar with the LZ picture and the dry erase in the video

Last year I has a spiral fib fx (indoor lacrosse not skydiving) and I had it casted. Pain for about 8 months and I still do this weird ankle exercise when I'm sleeping. As for the crutch thing, I mounted plexiglas panel on mine with a flip down cup holder to hold a beer. My former DZO's wife used the crutches after an ACL and I may put the suckers up on eBay. The previous season, I had a radius/ulna fx and it was nowhere near as painful as my fib fx. In fact we reduced it on the field and then I splinted it and removed the splint for 2 more games and then had it put in a hard cast. The reduction ended up with a 2mm off set but what the hell, it still works fine. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough. That's fucked up.
