    Call The Farm, they should be able to get a hold of him. "Damn you Gravity, you win again"

    I wore a similiar life vest for beach jumps at the ECSC memorial day boogie a couple years ago, worked out fine. "Damn you Gravity, you win again"

    Well if you didn't already know him, He was wearing all his clothes, and wasn't speaking; I could see how someone might mistake him for normal "Damn you Gravity, you win again"

    But a tandem (Vector for sure, never looked into any others) can be converted for student use. It has been done and there are procedures in place. "Damn you Gravity, you win again"

    So why aren't you spotting while the light is red? Check for aircraft and general location, first and last out will never have the ideal spot. Just the nature of large turbines. "Damn you Gravity, you win again"

    I've been getting the itch lately to learn paragliding. This is the only place I could find around for a school, http://www.atlantaparagliding.com/index.html I know there are some paraglider pilots around here, so what do you guys make of this place? Does it look proper and legit? Any other suggestions? "Damn you Gravity, you win again"

    Hate to step on your toes SM, but a tandem sure does count towards your license... meaning he only needs 24 more jumps, along with all the other requirements. To the op, best source of information on what you'll be learning... http://www.uspa.org/SIM/Read/Section4/tabid/166/Default.aspx Your AFF should be well structured through Category A-E and then you'll receive coaching and practice for Cat F-H.

    I hear it's a Good Caravan, not really a Grand one "Damn you Gravity, you win again"

    Yes the velcro was an analogy, as 10lbs was sufficient to release the freebag when pulled from an angle. Yet I believe 20lbs was not sufficient when lifting the rig from the bridle.... and the PD143R is the smaller recommended size of reserve for the OJ container. I'll be showing the owner of the rig and speaking with sunpath about it personally. "Damn you Gravity, you win again"

    What deos it mean to flip through your risers? Like he actually did a flip right over them? Why would someone do something like that? What would be the point? Are you really a skydiver, asking what the point of someone doing something you don't understand ... don't get me wrong, not saying it's a good idea, but the only person he endangered was himself.

    My concern wasn't the amount it took while the rig was anchored, I understand the staging concept. However, while I lifted the rig from the ground and bounced it up and down a little... I believe the force to be greater than 20lbs (only guessing from the weight of the rig plus a little bit extra force) I guess the way to explain it is pulling vs shearing force on velcro. I should have taken pictures If someone was in a feet to earth reserve deployment, would this added extraction force be cause for a concerning hesitation... or am I not as smart as I think I am "Damn you Gravity, you win again"

    I'll let people smarter than me interpret the data: Just opened a Javelin container size OJ with a Spectre 150 main and PDR143 reserve. Also Has a Cypres1. Wearing the rig with the main still packed, received about 7 feet of launch. Tried jumping up and down a few times but the freebag remained inside the container. Placed the container on the ground and pulled on the bridle. The whole rig lifted off the ground, I bounced it a little and the freebag still remained seated. Not until I placed my foot on the harness did it unseat, however it did not require more than ~8-10 lbs of force. I believe that once I anchored the harness to the floor it allowed the bridal to pull at a different angle, which then unseated the freebag from the container. "Damn you Gravity, you win again"

    I see, now that we've met in person you'll come up with any excuse to not be where I am Just to help you out, don't go to The Farm next weekend either "Damn you Gravity, you win again"

    Canopy alarms are set in increments of 10ft down to 300ft but cannot be closer than 50ft... Freefall alarms are set in increments of 100ft... (this is off the top of my head, double check the manual) "Damn you Gravity, you win again"

    I'll be there. "Damn you Gravity, you win again"

    About 6 months ago I broke down and decided that since it has lasted this long it deserved an oil change... so that makes 1 oil change for 2 years I love Hondas, it didn't even shut off after hitting a guard rail at 70mph. "Damn you Gravity, you win again"

    Go to the bar and ask a girl if she wants to be part of a focus group "Damn you Gravity, you win again"

    Hit the tunnel and skip the tandem... "Damn you Gravity, you win again"
  21. Harmless
    This might be your problem "Damn you Gravity, you win again"
  22. Harmless
    Yeah, but I get beer from Atlanta all the time, love sweetwater and ABC... Anyways my friends are on the way back and they said they picked up a few different stuff after I sent recommendations. Guess I'll find out tonight what I got :P "Damn you Gravity, you win again"

    Tire blowout in Wyoming just hours after I left Utah for Alabama... Traded a bottle of scotch to a body shop for some help and the headlight, put some new tires on, and finished the trip (in 2 days). Unloaded everything into my new apartment and left for the Memorial Day Beach Boogie at Emerald Coast Skydiving Center. The bungee and safety wire that the body shop provided had broke about a thousand miles into the trip soI replaced with a cargo strap and have been going strong for 2 years. (I recently zip tied a left front turn signal on to satisfy the military police ) "Damn you Gravity, you win again"

ETA: You can't see the cargo strap the is holding down the hood "Damn you Gravity, you win again"
