LuckyMcSwervy 0 #27 March 5, 2009 QuoteRig? The rig is staying home and I'm going to rent gear. I'm having chest strap issues that I'm pretty sure I just can't suck up. I had the chest strap lengthened and it still doesn't fit right.... I finally figured out it's gotta be moved higher then the "girls"...Always be kinder than you feel.

chaoskitty 0 #29 March 5, 2009 Do you really think rental gear will fit better?? And if you fit your chest strap to be above 'the girls', where is it going to be when you're sitting in the harness? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shropshire 0 #32 March 5, 2009 There's a queue of people waiting to apply ointmentPlease do a hang check to ensure that the new location of your strap would not ride too high (throat!!) (.)Y(.)

wrightskyguy 1 #33 March 5, 2009 I have to travel alot with my job. The single most annoying thing about it, aside from TSA hassles are people carrying oversized "carry ons" on the plane that take forever to jam into the overhead. Relax, take a checked bag and a sensibly packed carry on, everyone will be happier, and you'll have enough stuff.

I get so sick of those people who spend ten minutes trying to get their big ass carry on put away while I'm standing there behind them waiting to take my f'ing seat.Serious relationships turn into work after a few weeks and I already got a fucking job :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ H.A.F. = Hard As Fuck ...

Dang, I thought a rig was included in all that. Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it.

Thanatos340 1 #40 March 5, 2009 This is your chance to break that habit. Pack exactly the list I posted and NOTHING more. Go to the Boogie. I am sure you can borrow a hair dryer from someone down there or (heaven forbid) Towel Dry and be done. It is a Dropzone, not a beauty pageant. Dress comfortably, bring a smile and you will have a blast. Everything else is optional. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,558 #44 March 5, 2009 An alternative view: Wear there: - Clean nice jeans - long-sleeved shirt - a jacket in case it gets cold - your jumping sneakers, freshly washed Suitcase (smallest that it will all fit into) - jumpsuit - 3 pairs shorts (2 jumping, one nice) - 3 jumping shirts - 2 really cute shirts that go with jeans or the third pair of shorts - 4 pairs of short socks - undies (1 of each for each day) - shower shoes - cute flat sandals - shower kit -- shampoo, lotion, soap, brush, comb -- remember if it's carry-on they have to be small - makeup bag -- VERY MINIMAL -- you'll either be jumping or it'll be dark - 1 fluffy hand towel (i.e. the next one down from bath, not the little bitty finger one) Your helmet, purse/wallet, and logbook go in the backpack that counts as your purse. Jay's right about leaving the hair dryer. If you just can't stand the thought, get someone to bring one in the afternoon -- you don't need to dry your hair pretty only to put a helmet on it all day, right? I generally pack fewer jeans than days -- at home I wear them more than once, why not while traveling? And enjoy. Any guys who aren't favorably impressed with being low-maintenance are probably only interested in you for your looks anyway.
