ramon 0 #27 August 2, 2001 We got a hotel. Were unsure if there was space for us to camp at the DZ with 800 people there.We're going to try and scrounge up people to crash on the floor if they want AC for $5...ha ha.C-yaramon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigra 0 #28 August 2, 2001 >>This is completely off topic but I really need your thoughts. I had a 50% off a brand new Wings Container offered for $300. What would you do if you really need gear? I think its one of the best deals I was able to find.<<Save your money. Wait for Summerfest. There will venders there willing to make deals. I got a really good price on an almost new wings container at the expo in March. Price a new wings container with a reputable dealer and see what that 50% discount is really worth. Spending $300.00 for a $500.00 discount is only saving you $200.00. And whoever is selling this certificate probably won it.And if you are interested, my fiance has a nice Javelin for sale with a Safire 139 that's only got a handful of jumps on it- might be a good fit for you. Find us- Gomei and Maura- we'll be there most of the week!Blue ones!Maura Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kris 0 #29 August 3, 2001 Hey, Ms. Deva, if the Brandon you referred to is Brandon Chouinard, tell him his pal from Oklahoma Skydiving Center told him to be safe and to remember NOT to flare with his front risers again. :)Heh, you may also want to ask to see his video of an attempted hay bale swoop that ended up with him skipping across the ground for 70-feet and ending up without a scratch. :) I think he's down to 5 or 6 lives now...KrisDamn, I'm evil.

Zennie 0 #30 August 3, 2001 Hey Levin! You made it over here! Sweet!When you gonna come down to S-land to do some frefly with me? I keep bugging ramon but he keeps blowing me off. Prolly thinks I'm gonna cork his ass (which given my skills wouldn't be beyond the realm of possibility). ------------Blue Skies!Zennie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msdeva 0 #31 August 3, 2001 Kris - I know noboy's last name... only what they look like and what kind of flying they do - but it's probably the same guy. I'll ask him about the hay bale to confirm! If so, I will tell him to be very safe and not waste any more lives.Deva Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freaksister 0 #32 August 3, 2001 I got a picture of Brandon but I can't insert it into my post like you used to be able to do. Did the HH turn that off or did he move the directions or WHAT?! Ya'll freeflyin' kids have fun! At least Lew isn't gonna be a snob and she's comin' to Quincy for a bit. Steal their tube, Lew!Deva I can't believe you have 98 jumps now! Lucky bitch!! Sis Before you judge me, take a look at you... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
airann 1 #33 August 3, 2001 Thanks Ms Deva!!!I am really upset that I will not get to be there with all my friends. Except for our hero Wane. (gave part of his liver to his father). So, I guess I will have to call my buddy Wane up and see what movies he hasnt seen, and we can cripple over someplqce and see a movie or something.

airann 1 #35 August 3, 2001 Hey Zen: Levin is always like that Slow as Moleasses!! However, he has not missed a load like I do all the time. I am fast but I talk to damn much, always sayin Hey to somebody at the DZ. Next thing you know there went my ride to 14k!!!Now Ramone is a little different, like his great idea to bring all the videos home to put on my big screen to rub it in, grind in the ole salt in wound kinda deal. That is really special!!!! Wonderful man Ramone is but wont coach a roach. Take me for example, the greatest skydiver in the universe, as far as you know. Has Ramone ever EVER jumped with me. Hell ..... Wait ..... No.. he didnt jump with me then either. I also suked then. - But a long time ago he rode out to Waller with me. That counts.I like Ramone, - where ever the DOOR! is open, that is where he jumps. With Levin, Eric, Stevie, Scramone, Trey, and Wane and dont forget David. Hope I did not leave anyone out. It has been a long time since I have been out There. I see everyone except for Stevie and Eric, but I have an excellent picture of them on my computer screen.So anyway, I better not be the only one sitting here going thru hours and hours of video of Chicago Summerfest. I am pretty sure I am busy that night. Either that or I am having a huge party. Out by the pool!!! That is if I can get some help over here, Hello, I got a cast thing on my leg. Mow the yard? Vacume the Pool??? No prob. I will think of something.And another thing. I AM JUMPING NEXT WEEKEND ON THE 12th. I dont care about the damn cast -I have to!!! Thats what it says on my 1st jump certificate thingie. Aug 12, 2000. It might be just me and Flea Flyer.Anyway, when my boyeees get back from Summerfest. { I better get a damn T-Shirt. }We will call all the dawgs and have a good time over here with the videos of Levin landing. I mean of the guys trip.And Levin, stay away from S.B. untill we can run a personality compatabilty test, back ground check & blood work. I mean it, I am not going thru this again, with all your little girlfriends running all over my house, naked in the jacuzzi and every other thing, Gawd!! And another thing, got an email from the Florida one, she says Hi, Cutie!! Might as well be your Mother! Shyt, maybe I better go with them. Nah, Wane will get em outta jail.Clear Blue & Extra Alt, AirAnnwww.AirAnn.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freaksister 0 #36 August 3, 2001 Hey Ann, my graduation certificate says August 12, 2000 also! I didn't even think about that. Too bad I can't hit 100 that day...the last day of Quincy. But just jumping that day will be cool. You jump and have fun too!Sis Before you judge me, take a look at you... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zennie 0 #37 August 4, 2001 QuoteWonderful man Ramone is but wont coach a roach.I don't have a problem with ramon, I was just ribbing him a little, as I do everyone when I get in a weird mood. Actually, he did give me some drills to work on and I've been working them ever since. I just wish I could find someone willing to freefly with me so I can see if I'm backsliding/forwardsliding and controlling my fall rate. It's hard to figure those things out by yourself. I'm kind of having those feelings that I had before Mikey & Paula took some time to jump with me and show me what RW was really about.Last guy to freefly with me was John at Aerodrome. I really credit him with turning me on to what freefly is really about. He was totally willing to jump with me even though I was (and still am) a low-timer. In one jump we did some tracking and then I went into a sit and he into a head down. It's just so wild seeing someone right up next to you upside down. It was a total blast.I'll prolly be out at S-land tomorrow practicing some more.------------Blue Skies!Zennie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ramon 0 #38 August 6, 2001 I'll jump with you anytime you catch me early and make me commit. (underline early and make me commit). I have a bad habit when my friends are there of constantly only jumping with them, but I do in fact try to jump with at least one newbie (pardon the expression, if you aren't on your head) every weekend.Ground coaching and dive planning is available at all times unless I am frantically putting on gear and looking for my altimeter ramon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zennie 0 #39 August 6, 2001 Quote I have a bad habit when my friends are there of constantly only jumping with themI know what you're talking about. Like I said I was just razzing ya. It happens to me as well and I feel guilty about it. You get there & inevitably someone asks you to jump. So you do that and next thing you know your talking about the next jump, and the next jump... So no biggie.But yeah I'll try to catch you early one of these days. Good luck keeping up with me. I averaged 148 in my last sit (max 157). I had to go to my belly & do the flying squirrel bit with two people just so they could catch back up. Back in the sit... bye bye again! ------------Blue Skies!Zennie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
