Sweet....I'd say thats worth a bottle of liquor..... a big expensive one Z you do need to put that up

lemme see if I can help...the question your asking is like asking what kind of rig should you get on the gear forum(you'll get a lot of "right" awnsers....you need to have an idea of what you want). If you don't ask the right questions you will never get awnsers. what you should be close to knowing are things like side or top mount, 35 mm or not etc... knowing these things help narrow the choices of what platform you want to use. What about price range? What kind of Sony video camera are you gonna use TRV or PC? awnser those questions then do a search on this forum for possible awnsers go to the gear section and check out the helmet mfg's websites. check out Sonys website for features on mini dv video cameras. Then come back and ask some real questions......again just my .02

Out of the 5 different coachs I've jumped with Omar would have to be the best. To start I showed him video of someone docking on me in a sit and I start to cork. He stops the video and goes over body position and you could almost hear the loud clicking in my head. I could have left without jumping and got what I wanted. He also gave me the best piece of advice about sitting which is "fly big" it's that simple if your sit starts to go to shit and your losing control then your probably contracting somewhere(probably legs)

have to ask yourself what kind of flying your gonna do RW, Tandem, or FF. Even after you awnser that question there are still a ton of choices. What price range etc.......right now you may not be sure about what you want to fly but thinking about it and then a little research will lead to more informed questions. I personally love my Skypimp low profile top mount with a TRV 50 and a Rebel 2000. Again do a little research first then come back with some questions.......just my .02

I did and now I'm confused looking at the wings manual it says Which is opposite to how I've been doing it, but to make things worse the diagram for closing the container with a BOC has right flap as the last flap. Then to really confuse me the pull out closing sequence is the same as above and it's diagram does have the left flap as the last flap. So now I'm just confused if anyone can shed some light please do my head hurts. you shouldn't have to think this early in the morning......Maybe ignorance is bliss

Thank You Wendy

I would think that safety would be a much more important point then how well he flies ie intentional cutaway without tertiary rig or notification. I also notice he mentioned intentional cutaways on the baseboard last week. I'll say this for the guys at SDH they took a skydiver whose attitude seemed to be like TT's when he was jumping at our DZ (I wouldn't jump with him anymore and I know a number of others who felt the same way).He started jumping down there and they turned him around......go figure I didn't think it was possible I think a lot of it had to do with a change of venue. After a while people learn to respond negatively to certain stimulus from people, and then have a hard time moving past that negativity. That works both ways. The old hands groan when Mr 100 jump wonder struts in and Mr 100 groans as soon as one of the old hands starts quizzing him about what he's doing. This turns into an ugly cycle that gets hard to break because as hard as both sides might try to be objective negative feelings start to color all their dialouge. TT if you do happen to come back and read this. Don't let your ego ruin your fun. Sit back and look at your actions objectivly then try and I mean really try to see it through other peoples eyes. Then if you feel that you might have been making an ass of yourself suck it up swallow your pride apoligize where you have too. Change your behaviour so you never end up in a situation like this again and get back in the air, or not Just my .02

Very cool........Ya big suck up

Yea you should see him on our VSCR everyones got a shit eating grin except Brains, he just nods with the I might be mad or just totaly bored nonchalant look. I guess it's just pain that makes you smile. Damn your weird

Make sure the hangers can hang......try not to put newbies in the hanger slots, if you do make sure you know they have a solid dit

I can't do much but I can definitly hang and I wouldn't mind trying for my VSCS in a sit, if you get anything going let me know......BTW congrats on the record

I wouldn't suggest 2 new freeflyers with 70 jumps apiece jumping together in fact I would probably do everything in my power to stop such a jump if it was going to take place at my DZ, but I'm anal like that

This was snide and I probably shouldn't have said it but the voice and tone was how I imagine you would've responded and I see that I was pretty close to the mark

No just this discussion on this forum I cannot prove that, and you don't have to believe in it. It's like asking you to prove theres a god Did the American Government participate condone and endorse said suffering if so then I would find it relavent. Otherwise I find it to be circular logic. I'll refer you to my earlier post that you replied to Nope I feel for ya. I mean here I sit in my luxurious mansion. That my cushy job that I'm not qualified to do paid for. I got the job by graduating college at UNT, the only reason I graduated is because I'm black. Police treat me nice cause I'm black. Security guards don't follow me around stores cause I'm black. Cute little four year old girls don't call me nigger to the embaressment of their mothers. Nope the life of a black man in this country is awesome everything is just handed to you on a plate. People don't deny me housing because of my color. I don't get hit or harrassed for dating a white woman. The media portrays black people as intelligent do gooders most of the time. Yep you sure have it tough and I have it so easy.

Then he didn't want it bad enough and whining about it aint gonna make it better I'm outta this fucked up mess shoulda never got involved in the first place. I really do know better

OHHHHHH fuck it your logic is so subjective and skewed. It's an absolute waste of my time. Your right ........there feel better?

No you miss the target by a mile. Educating a slave was a crime back then as a matter of fact it wasn't till the close to the 1900's that blacks were even allowed to read up until then it was not legal to teach a black person to read.

Kato my man I feel ya. (note bad grammer and slang....do not hire sub standard individual). Your gonna find it's a lost cause and you'll be on the defensive and banging your head against the wall. I know what your trying to say and for the most part it's not accepted here. Unfortunatly trying for understanding here will not work most cannot even concieve your viewpoint leave it alone unless you like being flogged. Peace Out

Thats why the slave owners made sure slaves were not educated and took away their culture and language. They saw what happens if slaves are educated they eventually take over because they run everything important

Once again my post was made in regards a comparisan of immigrants to slaves, but to awnser your question. Lets just look at a child. I think we can all agree that a child thats beaten and tortured mentally and physically will not develop in what we call a normal fashion. Now apply that logic to a race that for generations was mentally and physically abused from birth till death and had no religion, or culture to fall back on. If you can't understand how that would leave a huge scar on the psyche of that race then you'll probably never understand. While I really do sympathize with your dads situation. I always wonder how many people(no race) lose slots in college due to the GOB network. My guess is that number would be much higher than cases like your fathers, yet nothings ever mentioned about that(yea right GWB was smart enough to get in Yale on his own....ROTFLMAO). No you haven't been hate crimed and neither have I and I've been whacked upside the head for simply having my arm around a white girl. I'm guessing your dad gave up his dreams of becoming a lawyer and was forced to became a dockworker and the family was forced to live on handouts till the end of their days. You sure do love to spout of about the rights the "founding fathers" gave you etc, but you sure do hate when you have to pay for their sins.

All I was pointing out that comparing the immigrants situation to the slaves situation is comparing apples to oranges. In all honesty human nature being what it is there will never be a level playing field no matter it may tip to different sides but never level. Sad and hopefully not true but I doubt it

Yea Bryan Don't hate the player hate the game. On another note I better see at least one Rat at B-Sides tommorow night

Yes there are theres the gas station, mobile home park, the cement place, and the speedway and it's ancillary buildings, but other then that it's desolate

I tried I really did god damn it I should have never looked at this thread The implication I get from you is that blacks didn't want to succeed. I must disagree were talking about two differnt situations First the Irish who immigrated were allowed to keep there culture and religion and in fact were free. Wives were not raped in front of their husbands. Familys were not torn apart at the drop of a hat or should I say dollar. The persecution of the Irish was basically only for a generation and then they were more than happy to jump on the nigger hating wagon and as a plus they got to persecute the Italians as they came over. The slaves were not allowed to keep their language, culture, or religion. For generations wives were raped in front of their husbands (I'm sure more then a few slaves lost thier lives during this phase of the indoctrination). For generations familys were torn apart for $$$$. As a bonus blacks got to be whipping boys for the latest immigrants in America, who I'm sure breathed a sigh of relief when they realized they wern't at the absolute bottom of the social ladder. These are two different situations nowhere close to being the same in duration or degradation. As far as AA well my father was part of the first balck graduating class at Brown. He probably wouldn't have gotten in otherwise and it would have had nothing to do with his ability. My father was close to genius and could solve quadranomials in his head fairly easily and play master level chess. I feel it's still necessary. As far as the whole racisim vs Black determination I think the awnser is in the middle and neither side wants to admit their faults. Whites don't want to admit racisim and will happily grab on to any data proving otherwise. Blacks don't want to admit their own resposibility and will happily grab onto any data proving otherwise. It's a combination of both but good luck getting either side to truly admit it. The part I find distastful is listining to people talk about founding fathers and our country, when in fact this country was stolen from the indiginous people of this country. Said people were then almost exterminated put into concentration camps where quit a few still live . treated like shit to this day and for all the talk of fairness from the American Government they have recieved almost nothing in recompensation, and they never will if I know how the American government works and I do PS I found it interesting that when I mentioned getting pulled over and searched for DWB, that only one response admitted that this happens(thanks Kallend) the others implied that I must have been mistaken or was just flat out lying. I think that speaks volumes for my second to last paragraph
