SkymonkeyONE 4 #15 August 27, 2002 Clay, you can say that again! I ended up retiring that SIX YEAR OLD suit two months ago and relegating it to tandem master duty only. It has been replaced with a smacky-booty replacement (another michigan comp with knife edge booties this time). The "new" orange material is guaranteed not to bleed out so fast. It should be noted that I swooped the booties off that old suit MANY times and just kept sewing it back up. Also, the only reason I managed to get that much usage out of that one was that I also have four other suits I wear for different stuff (black in the winter, etc.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

steve1 5 #22 August 28, 2002 Congratulations, Chuck. That seems like an awesome accomplishment to me. It took me 30 years to get in 500 jumps. If I keep jumping at this rate I will be 202 when I hit 3,000. I wonder if I'll make it? Steve1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
