Could be any number of things, (strained soft tissue, bursitis, partial tear of rotator cuff). With ANY injury, I recommend the following RIICE plan. Rest, the injured area for at least two days. Ice. for the first 24-36 hours (heat after that) Ibuprofen (aka, Advil or Motrin). In the absence of any problem taking advil, use one of the following: 200mg (one advil) every 2 hours 400mg every 4 hours 600mg every 6 hours 800mg every 8 hours 1000mg every 10 hours Compression, shoulder are tough to ace wrap(impossible by yourself) so you might skip that here. Elevation, again, not too relevant to a shoulder injury (unless you sleep like a bat :) Give it three or four days and then decide if you need to see a doctor. Good luck, Michael

Hehe, sure seems like it. It's the bottom guys call when to break and they need to do it a bit higher than usual. Of course, the higher you break, the more of an ouchie it will be is you don't separate cleanly. Top guy should have the lines over the instep and move his feet around to make sure the break is clean (watch out for shoe tongues catching lines!). When landing a biplane, I make sure of two things: 1) I'm on top :) 2: My feet are ready for a clean break. Michael

From the CRWDog email list: Since it's already starting to cool off up north, I want to mention a boogie planned for this winter in Puerto Rico. The annual Puerto Pico FreeFall Fest will be February 11 - 15, 2004. This is the one big annual boogie for our little DZ, but I hear it is always a lot of fun. There will be Crosskeys aircraft support, and CRWDog Mark Kruse will be one of the organizers. I don't think there has ever been a large CRW gathering at this boogie, so maybe next year will be the first. The scenery is great and the weather will be nice and warm in February. Info can be found on the Xtreme Divers site at: http://xtremedivers.com/index01.html Blue Skies, Kevin

First, I am going to reply on the assumption that that your questioning male instructors actions toward female students was not an intended bias. I'm a Registered Nurse and my job requires me to touch patients (male and female) in ways so intimate it makes adjusting a chest strap about as intimate an act as nodding hello from 100 feet away ...never had a problem or complaint. What it comes down to is communication and professional attitude. Tell them what you are going to be doing and why it is important. Conduct yourself as a professional and your actions will not only not be interpreted as inapproptiate, they will be greatly appreciated. It's just that simple. CRW Skies, Michael

What's happening with CRW lately is that a BUNCH of CRWDogs have decided to form teams and compete. Several teams have been formed and recreational CRW jumpers are pretty much left in the dust. What's weird is that at every boogie/training camp, I hear the organizers talk about how competition promotes CRW. Based on what I've seen, it does just the opposite. It promotes inbreeding (and we all know where that leads ) ...and leaves those who do it for the joy and fun of it (and beginners) in the dust. No problem with those who want to form teams, hold eachothers dicks in the showers and feel all warm and fuzzy about their teammates ...but saying it promotes CRW is simply not true. CRW Skies, Michael

They are in the process of standardizing their demos. Currently, only some are bisexual. Michael do demo's come both ways from PD?

I used them (radio shack) when training a pup (now a US Record and soon to be World Record holder) about a decade ago. Marginal utility in the air but we had a lot of fun with them driving to and from the DZ when we shared a couple hundred miles of Turnpike. Bill had his permanently affixed to his Protec and looked like he was driving to 'special' school Michael
-
Sorry, Bill. I'm currently grounded with a bum knee and doing what I can to get it in shape for the world record in November. Good Luck, future TOADSUCKER. Michael hmmm does that mean if I got you one you'd come?
-
Ahhh, Didn't know I was supposed to keep reading until you finally got it right Michael i missquoted, i thought the follow up post would clarify the original comment....guess not. in any event to jump any rig without knowing what size, type of main and/or reserve the container has in it isn't very clever. when i underwent my tandem progression/afp program years ago, you better damn well know what's inside the container, it's also the USPA coach and/or AFF to make sure the correct gear is being utilzed for each sky diver when using DZ gear. i'm quite certain that if rounds were the best reserve to use, everybody would have one, they aren't being antiquated for no reason at all.

This is not true. Michael

Sharing Skydiving Files on KazaA
crwmike replied to fasteddie's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I agree with that. It is one hell of a site. Cydoor (which infects your computer) is not quite a virus, but is one hell of a pest in your computer. It is very aggressive spyware and is a blonde cunt hair short of a virus. It dials up your ISP, connects you to pre-selected sites and opens your computer to the net. The free version of Ad-aware will rid you of this invasive pest. Michael http://www.othersteve.com/kazaa.html Yep Yep Yep. One hell of a site! -
How much do you trust your cypres?

Well, ...a tail pocket is easier to pack . Someone (here?) (Wendy?) mentioned a quick and easy installation of having the tail pocket sewn on through top and bottom skin. I had this done on a L218 a few years ago and put hundreds of jumps on it with no problems. Worked just as well as the one PD put on my current L176. Where is it useful? Competition exits, base quad exits. Who is it useful to? Everyone on the dive. It usually doesn't make much difference, until it does ...and then it makes a lot of difference. I've got ...bunches of jumps on both systems and am happy with both. Spend the money on your skin tight suit and having your body hair removed for a clean aerodynamic profile. CRW Skies! Michael

It's a nice grip, and will almost always release cleanly. It's that almost always thing that bothers me if I'm going
-
The problem with leg grips is that they don't always release precisely when you want them to. No big problem ...unless you are burning it low. Michael
-
You can get the info here: http://www.cfworldrecord.com Hope I did that right. Michael
-
I don't know. The bad news is that Lightnings pack up ...big. The good news is you really don't have to get it entirely in the container Michael

Wish I could be there Bill, but my back is thoroughly messed up ...not working and not jumping. Michael ok well now I'm on a quest to become one. I know of 2 who will be there next weekend all I need is one more
