freefalle 0 #2 September 15, 2004 Derek, until recently, we havent seen you around deland in ages, where ya been, where ya been skydiving???? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derekbox 0 #3 September 15, 2004 I had a girlfriend. Thats the main excuse. I also graduated Riddle, got a real job. Between the ex and work my time and money was streched pretty thin. But Im single now, just finished a side job (Wiring up an RV6 avionics/power system) that landed me a nice chunk of jump tickets - so I plan on being an annoyance in Deland again. Ive probably knocked out 20 jumps in the few weeks Ive been back. I also found someone new to jump with which really helps too. Now I just need to find a new chickie - a skydiver would be nice this time. During my hiatus I did knock out a few jumps at Zhills. But it was such a pain, after a few trips I just gave up with them. Anyways - Ill be jumping Sat and Sun. I found a kid to team with for collegiates so were "training" this weekend. *woot* Derek P.S. If you still need help wiring up that cam switch give me a hollar - I sling wires for a living (in airplanes no less - the other reason why I havent been jumping - working to much).

Derek I know at least one person who still uses one of those. His is called a Para-mount UltraLite. Title not withstanding, I am pretty sure my Bonehead is lighter.

Brains 2 #6 September 15, 2004 QuoteI know at least one person who still uses one of those. Yup, last time Orley King was at the dz he had one of those on. Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RevJim 0 #7 September 15, 2004 I know at least one that still uses one too. He's old school, even still recording in Hi-8. I had (well, still have, but do not use) the System 3 from the same maker. The weight difference going from that to a Hawkeye was unbelievable. Next step, FTP. (Gotta get rich first though, or my wife's gonna kill me. She already knows I want the 20d).It's your life, live it! Karma RB#684 "Corcho", ASK#60, Muff#3520, NCB#398, NHDZ#4, C-33989, DG#1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
