  1. I am just glad that is is electronically possible for the iPod to interface with the mixer. My plan is to make up several "2-song play-lists", each with an appropriate tempo "interview" song and a faster "freefall" song. I can have a ton of these playlists (for girly-girl, hard edge stuff, swing music, etc) and add, subtract or update them as necessary. These would eliminate the need for speed searching as well as the electronic noise involved with doing so. Thoughts? "When I die, I want to go like my grandmother, who died peacefully in her sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in her car."
  2. I am putting together a personal use mixing station to dub my own DVDs for tandems and AFF customers' videos. I will be using a WJ-MX10 (with a Titlemaker 2000). The question is: Can / Does anyone use their iPod for their music input while dubbing videos? Many thanks in advance guys (and girls)!

  3. I'll jump you ...uhhhhh.... I mean jump with you Mouth! "When I die, I want to go like my grandmother, who died peacefully in her sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in her car."
  4. *What an ASSHOLE: he violated his OWN rule of "Don't fucking die!" *There is one positive in his passing: the price of, errr... left handed cigarettes, has got to go down as the demand for it in the Z-Hills area has now dropped dramatically! *The last time I saw him he was walking by in a pair of shorts. (and if you've ever seen his legs you can't forget them). I asked Johnny, "Are those your legs, or are you riding a chicken?". Johnny replied "I'm not sure but they've been getting me around for a long time!". Just not long enough bro.

  5. Are we on a call yet??? "When I die, I want to go like my grandmother, who died peacefully in her sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in her car."
  6. You would be okay jumping there. We'll just make announcements so everybody gets the fuck outta your way when you're jumping... So what good would the announcements do for YOU Billy???
  7. I know it's only October, but does anyone know the dates for the Dublin Boogie? I need to start counting down the days!!! Blue 111- Jeff "When I die, I want to go like my grandmother, who died peacefully in her sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in her car."

    Where's the post???

    A few days ago I saw a post about a skydiver who had invented a new type of rollercoaster he was trying to market/sell. He had also invented some other things (wind tunnel?). Does anyone know what and where that post is, or who and what I am in reference to? Many thanks in advance.

  9. Still trying to figure out the "sky" color behind them. It looks very purple. "When I die, I want to go like my grandmother, who died peacefully in her sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in her car."
  10. You only have to answer questions about your activities during the purchase period of the life insurance. Blue 111- Jeff "When I die, I want to go like my grandmother, who died peacefully in her sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in her car."
  11. I've seen them before.... The books with dive flows for whatever number formation you have (RW). Got 17? Flip over to the 17-way section and take your pick. A Anyone know where I can get one? I checked on Paragear... no luck. Many thanks in advance. Blue 111- Jeff "When I die, I want to go like my grandmother, who died peacefully in her sleep.

  12. You will probably end up paying about the same money (AFF vs. Static Line) by the time you "cross the finish line", but it cost less money per jump for the static line jumps... thus making it more affordable to go make a training jump or 2 per week end. It just takes more week ends! Blue 111- Jeff "When I die, I want to go like my grandmother, who died peacefully in her sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in her car."
  13. Like a DZ is an "appropriate spot"... with 500 skydivers armed with a plethora of video and still cameras... soon to be posted on every web-site known to man! "When I die, I want to go like my grandmother, who died peacefully in her sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in her car."
  14. Kristi- You making the balloon jump? "When I die, I want to go like my grandmother, who died peacefully in her sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in her car."
  15. Wayne- Is this going to happen? I sure hope so. Even if it is just one balloon, that's fine. I just need to know to make plans with my car-pool partner. Jeff "When I die, I want to go like my grandmother, who died peacefully in her sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in her car."
  16. 2 items- (1) We need a definite head count... please sign in. BigM (2)I am probably going to do my first (beer) naked jump on the morning balloon jump. Anyone for an all naked balloon?

  17. I'm still in. BigM "When I die, I want to go like my grandmother, who died peacefully in her sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in her car."
  18. Jay does indeed start his jumping near sunset. He also has a complete gear checking crew... medical staff that accompanies him on he plane (checking vitals and much more). Like a previous post said, it is difficult to imagine what goes into this. If it can be done, Jay will "Get 'R Done!" (Sorry, I just couldn't resist that one) "When I die, I want to go like my grandmother, who died peacefully in her sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in her car."
  19. ROLL CALL! Rellik75 BigM Mike Urzen "When I die, I want to go like my grandmother, who died peacefully in her sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in her car."
  20. I had the privilege of meeting and jumping with Jay last year... and talking to him about the record attempts. He did use a Porter last time...ONE Porter! (another was around in case of mechanical problems) He lands right next to where the Porter stops. He has a very special configuration on his canopies that allow him to pull down on the front risers with minimal effort (thus getting out of the sky faster). He is basically coming out of the rig as he is landing and people are running next to him holding another rig like an open coat for him to get into. Seems like he told me (from his foot touching down to him sitting in the plane) they were averaging about 8.5 seconds. I asked him what he thought the saturation point was for this record and he thought this was about it. He also said that make it or not, this was his last run at it. He is in tremendous athletic condition but he is turning 50 and this is a monumental undertaking. Everyone wishes him success but more than that a very SAFE attempt. Get 'em Jay.

  21. OK... to clear up a little bit of confusion: The balloon jumps ARE on for this Saturday, April 29th in the morning. I just talked to Wayne on the phone and confirmed this. He will be posting soon as to the exact meeting location and time. He will NOT be doing the Paypal thing this time so please bring cash. Although he didn't specify I assume we will be doing things similar to last time (since we are using the same balloon people). First jump is from 10.5K and the second from 5.5K. $100 bucks for both. Wayne will correct me or confirm this shortly. These balloon people are a blast! Let's make this ROCK!!!

  22. Here's one REALLY big vote for the morning. I can't do the evening, but if it's a morning jump I'm ready to send the money to your PayPal account now! Jeff "When I die, I want to go like my grandmother, who died peacefully in her sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in her car."
  23. I could do something the weekend of April 28th. Other than that, Friday May 12th or 19th would work for me. I hope this is when it is... I'd like to do it again! Jeff "When I die, I want to go like my grandmother, who died peacefully in her sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in her car."
  24. My Parachutist and Skydiving magazines arrive (to me) app. 2 weeks apart. Nicely staggered me thinks. Today I get them BOTH! Have the press / ship dates changed that dramatically or could this be a result of the scramble put on by the 400-way news? Any thoughts?
