    LOL I'm confused - I didn't even realize my post got moved to Gear and Rigging. The thing is, do as many people read posts in this forum as in Talk Back? I was looking for opinions, not specifically advice from the masters. I feel kinda like I've been banished! What's up? --- www.facebook.com/mandyhamptonfitch

    Scoby, I'd love to hear how it goes with the bigger slider. I'm thinking about flying camera in the next year so whatever canopy I get may well be the canopy I jump camera with... Which probably means I ought to think about the spectre, which I do love but the slow opening makes me feel like Wylie Coyote just after he's realized he's run right off the cliff! Oh shit... OH SHIT... OHHHH.... Okay.... deep breath... The input I"m getting here is great, thanks! --- www.facebook.com/mandyhamptonfitch

    Really? Who makes them? Is there a demo program? Anybody else have a hornet? I'm really not asking for any official word, just opinions from general skydivers so I think this thread should be okay here. Yeah? Thanks! M --- www.facebook.com/mandyhamptonfitch

    Thanks, I'll repost in gear / rigging if you think this is inappropriate for general skydiver conversation. Mandy --- www.facebook.com/mandyhamptonfitch

    Wow, I'm jost posting up a storm lately! LOL Does anyone know if it's even possible to find a used Sabre 2 135? Are they just too new to buy used yet? I demo'd one at the Chicks Rock Boogie and it was the most beautiful thing I'd ever flown. I'd like to check out another one to see if it was just that particular canopy... Not sure how to arrange that. Also, can anyone suggest something similar that I actually could find used? I loved the opening - soft but not so slow to give me that falling feeling, nice glide, beautiful flare.... I know it's all perspective - I loaned my old crappy South AFrican ZP 155 to a friend who was flying a PD 170 and she gave it back to me with a big grin "I'd forgotten what flying a high performance canopy was like!" Go figure.... Anyway, I'm ready for something smaller and quicker but still dependable and friendly. And cheap. or at least cheaper than new. Ideas? Thanks!

    Hey, my friend Kimber let me know she'll be jumping in Las Vegas this weekend with Jimbo but I neglected to ask which DZ. Suddenly I find I may in LV this weekend and I'd love to catch up with them. They both read here occasionally but everyone in Nevada knows old outlaw Jimbo - anyone know where he'll be? Thanks!

    Nope, I'm pretty sure there's a difference! And to really confuse you, let me mention that this occured... ummmmm, without assistance... or at least unintenionally... It's fun to be a girl sometimes! --- www.facebook.com/mandyhamptonfitch

    HEY Kelly! I'm with you. Give me my eyeliner! and all you gals cool enough to skip it are awesome, you have my respect. But when I look at myself in the mirror first thing in the morning, my hand reaches for the mascara before the coffee. Just a way of life, I guess. Hope that doesn't make me a crappy skydiver... I think my flying takes care of that! LOL Cool thing is, at the DZ, we all get to be how we want. If you're nice, you got friends. If you're not, don't really matter how great you fly your body or how hot you look in your jumpsuit. You know? Mean people suck the world over. Mandy Loreal and i have gone through a lot of rough times...but it stays on right through the next day! Sorry, but im all about eye art! --- www.facebook.com/mandyhamptonfitch

    Hola, Since moving to Arizona, I'll be making my "just before 2nd" trek over to Eloy, this Saturday the 21st. I would love to hook up with DZ.Commers for some fun jumps or later for beer! Anybody planning to be out there that day? Attached is a pic of me in my jumpsuit so if you see me, say Hi! Looking forward to meeting you guys and making new friends. I miss Elsinore heeeeeuuuugely... Blues, Mandy --- www.facebook.com/mandyhamptonfitch

    Has Perris broken ground on theirs yet? --- www.facebook.com/mandyhamptonfitch
  16. DivaSkyChick
    Okay, I just got the word that an advanced model wind tunnel is going up adjacent to Elsinore. It's supposed to be 15 feet in diameter and produce speeds over 160mph!!!! Now I already heard about the one going up at Perris - but this is another company altogether. My "source" says this is confirmed! YEAH BABY!!!!! --- www.facebook.com/mandyhamptonfitch

    Hi Cannuck, If you think the levels look like they're getting more complicated and you want to get a really good idea of what's coming up next, check out the AFF Tutorial on Skydive Elsinore's Website. It's a Flash animated tutorial that goes through eight levels of the new USPA dive flow. There's one up there for tandems, too, for anyone trying to talk their loved ones into giving it a shot! [http://www.skydiveelsinore.com/jumpstart/index.html] Good luck! PS I really hope the url clicks thru from here - I've done everything everyone has told me to do but it never frigging works! --- www.facebook.com/mandyhamptonfitch

    *** Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, the only effort that can be made in this area is to fly to Cali and visit Jim Slaton. If there are other dz's offering comprehensive canopy training, I haven't found them. {unquote) You haven't met Wyat Drews from Skydive Elsinore Evolution. check it out: [url]http://www.skydiveelsinore.com/teams/evolution/index.html Oh why can't I get hyperlinks to work??? --- www.facebook.com/mandyhamptonfitch

    This just cracks me up - I post news of a boogie where you boobie fanatics could have an opportunity to spend the day at the Playboy Mansion and out of ten posts, four are about how to post a URL!
