I was green with envy when I watched the video, beautiful wreck and fabulous conditions.

Wait...whut??? First the mod was basically telling everyone to chill about this guy a few posts back and then poof, he is banned from the board? I'm confused.

Can someone PM me to inform me what happened here?

If I'd seen this I wouldn't have wasted my time with the last post.
Well, I think your post may be of value to the audience.

What I've always learnt is:
Pony: Tank brought along not intended to be used, but to increase the margin of error. Not to be included in gas management calcs.
Stage: Tank brought along intended to be used. To be included in gas management calcs.

As far as I can understand, your post supports my take on pony vs stage.

Concur.

In this case, I think it's a bit simpler then that. I may be wrong, but simply I dont think he knows how to do gas calcs and planning.
 
Based on what I read it sounds like he considered the pony as his reserve. But that is only supposition.

He may know how, but he clearly stated he doesn't want to waste his time doing it. His gas planning is based on experience: he did the dive once before, so it is OK to do it again. That is not gas planning, of course; that is just trusting in dumb luck.
