    Parachutes are so '90s! I heard everyone's using wingsuits there now. Just take some duct tape, run it from your wrist to your waist, and across between your ankles, and give 'er.

    I have found if you just bring a bed sheet from the hotel that you are staying in you get a great glide ratio. One point to remember is not to say 321cya it is more like Geromino...

    I have found that buying some helium balloons from the store up the road does the trick. You will need 4, perferrably 2 with smurfs and 2 with big bird. big bird needs to be in the front, with the tail gate holding the ribbons connecting to the smurfs. DO NOT buy balloons with strawberry shortcake or happy birthday anywhere on them, as they are death. With this proven system you can easily take 6 to 7 seconds off and still make the landing area. :7 :* :P

    Please if you are going to use a tailgate on the smurfs DO NOT double stow. These ribbons are very fragile and will snap.

    Motel 6 bedsheets work the best.

    >p.s its better to be down the bottom and jump
    >back up

    I saw video of this once -- the guy started at the bottom, his canopy inflated over his head, pulled him up and back (like a housefly), then at some point I guess he caught up with it, 'cuz it collapsed and folded back into the container. Must've been some kind of "slingshot" action from the parachute going into the container that threw him back up onto the object. The whole incident scared the crap out of him, I guess, because for a little while after it looked like he was talking backward!

    I find condoms to be the best route to take, they come pre packed and come in a variety of sizes and colours. I am a little on the heavy side so I use a magnum(much like the 310) Don't buy the ones with lub though it makes those suckers to slippery when they come out of the container. I have also noticed that the special tips can control good pressurization. I also would avoid french ticklers and any kind of sensual pleasure rings as to not embarrase yourself when you discharge.:P

    All the cool kids are using "vented" condoms.
