BikerBabe 0 #26 August 2, 2002 Ah, well, I'll be at home, too. I have to save my $$, now that I'm on a team in AZ and I'll be flying to Phoenix every 2 weeks next year. But I'm doing a demo this weekend and getting paid $70 to do it! Woohoo! That's almost 4 jumps worth of $$...or almost one round trip tix to Phoenix... I think giving up Rantoul/Lost Prairie/Richmond/etc to do what I've always wanted to do in this sport is a fair trade.Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

BikerBabe 0 #31 August 3, 2002 Well, we're forming a new one...all chicks (erp...but we're not girly-girls...no worrying about hair and makeup here, and serious pass the rock time). 2 of the girls are Eloy regulars (and I've been jumping there so much I may as well be), then there's me, and a girl who's moving there from the UK in Nov. (FrikkenSkydiver, where are you!) I can't wait. I'll be out there for training again Aug 17/18...Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

FallRate 0 #35 August 3, 2002 QuoteClay, get the fuck off this thread!! You should probably put a smiley after that kind of statement. Particularly important seeing as no one here has yet pointed out that even if you could go to the WFFC, you'd be there as a spectator...meaning that your supposed suffering due to the fact that you are not there, and your apparent offense at Clay's bragging, is quite contrived!

meatmissile 0 #37 August 3, 2002 QuoteWho the heck is BabaYaga, why is he coming for us, and what if I don't wanna go with him? It's a her, a Witch from ancient times. She watches over us. We leave her small offerings of unleavened bread, salt nuts and fortified wine when the moon is small. If we don't, she will fiddle with our reserve pins -- ZZZzzzz....

Iflyme 0 #39 August 4, 2002 Well I got in two jumps Friday evening ... a great 2 way with a guy with like 1200 more jumps than me, and a cool solo cross country -- my first -- all by myself... as the sun set. VERY cool. I got back to the dz nice and high, and did so much canopy flying, I almost puked after I landed!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michele 1 #40 August 4, 2002 Hi, Frank! Cool on the sunset load... I am gonna jump tomorrow...at least three jumps, perhaps more if this ol' bod don't quit, and I don't crash every landing. I'm thinking a sunset load, or late late late late afternoon one, at least, is just the ticket to relax me at the end of a day. And maybe this time I won't misjudge the wind and go tumbling down the hardpan!

AggieDave 6 #41 August 5, 2002 QuoteDave, Is the new girlfriend a skydiver? Not yet, she wants to jump, though. She's come out to the DZ and she even watched (she requested) my "I love me" tape. The tape with dubs from a whole bunch of jumps I've been on. She loved watching that...So, its just a matter of $$ and she'll be in the air in no time.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."
