Cyberdiving is a dirty business, but somebody's gotta do it.

Have you guys even seen an Oxycheq wing? If you are wondering why people are going ooooh and ahhhhhh, you need to go look, instead of saying how sad.

If my wing had leaking problems, power inflator issues that would be very dangerous to include as part of your equipment. I in turn would look for a better route, and Oxycheq so far meets that niche.

Compare them side by side, look at the material, the seam welds and stitching and it is enough to make you realize they are differences between a Hellcyon and an Oxycheq wing.

The Oxycheq wing looks of much higher quality manufacturing standards, check it out!

The "sad" comment was directed at the level of fanaticism exhibited by both Halcyon and Qxycheq wing owners.

My comparison to the Ford vs. Chevy debate stresses the point I am trying to make.

Down here in the south the local rednecks will have heated arguments over a Ford truck and a Chevy truck.

To the red necks it is apparently a noble cause but to all sane outsiders it's a stupid argument about two very similar types of trucks.

Apparently two very similar wings with minor differences will also spur the same level of intelligent responses.

This types of arguments always comes down to "us" vs."them". This in my opinion is related to the human desire to belong to a tribe and to defend that tribe vehemently.

This tribal fanaticism isn't, of course, regulated to brands but also to politics, sport teams, schools, etc. IMO someone's susceptibility to this level of tribal fanaticism is in direct correlation to their level of civility.

All this from someone who partakes in boxing?

How does my boxing pertain to my understanding, or lack of understanding, of human nature?


LONG LIVE BUICKS!
 
Civility? Kinda strong word over arguments over wings, don't ya think?

Now boxing, there is 'civilized' sport. Lets punch someone in the central nervous systems 'computer' until they black out from striking sensitive nerve endings in the mandible.

I never quantified my level of civility in my post. You are reading to much between the lines.

I will not go into the differences of pro boxing and amateur boxing.

I will concede that someone not knowledgeable on the topic could successfully argue that boxing is lacking in civility.

P.S. your understanding of the human anatomy and how it reacts to boxing related forces is .... interesting.
 
Thank Nursing school for that Anatomy and Physiology lesson...
