Here is an email that I got: Hello, How you today? ,thanks for getting back to me i also got the informations and the picture of the rig and,like i said earlier i am presently in the Africa .there won't be any probs about the shipment,after payment ,the pick up will be made at your place. i have made arrangements with the prepaid shipping company. As regards payment,this is what i am going to do. I have a client in the U S who is owing me $3,700 i would instruct him to makeout a certified check to you in that amount and as soon as it clears your bank. you can now deduct your money from it and send me my balance via western union ,i will be using part of the money to pay for the shipping and other expenses ..Although the value of the check is more than the asking price but i think i should be able to trust you with my balance. So if my terms are acceptable to you,i would like you to give me your full name,address and phone number so that i can instruct my client to make out the check to you. Pls get back to me as soon as you get this mail so that we can round things up in a timely fashion. Thanks in this regard ----------------------------------------------------------- What do you guys think?

I am Leo... I am the cameraman for team Furies. I got the job of filming these beautiful ladies.

I was out there the last two weekends. SDC is my home DZ.

Hey guys, I took these pictures at SDC Summer Fest boogie. Let me know what you think. http://photos.yahoo.com/freflyjunky

I don't know about a shirt but I am sure there is a card. I think Hallmark makes a card for everything.

I don't know what hospital she was taken to. Call (800)772-JUMP and talk to Ron Nowak (DZ manager) or Kris Bagwell, they should be able to give you more info.

I was at Morris is this Fri. and Sun. I was a great weekend, sunny, warm, clear blue skies. I did hear that someone got injured on Sat. I don’t know exactly what happened, but according to Kris Bagwell (JM at SDI) a female skydiver with about 60 jumps did not flare her canopy on landing and as a result suffered a minor back injury.

This Saturday I will do jump number... (drum roll please!) 100! I want to build a 3D formation consisting of free-flyers and belly-flyers and have someone video it. I haven’t figured out exactly what I am going to do yet, so I welcome all of your suggestions. If you would like to be a part of this monumental event drop me a line and meet me at SDC this Saturday.

Why would you say that? Isn’t the purpose of Safety Day to review and practice emergency procedures?

Did someone say HopnPop? My lowest one was from 1800ft. It was on Safety Day at SDC. We emptied the whole plane in less than 30 sec. It was a RUSH pulling that low, I would love to do it again!!!

Screamer, Here is a virtual shovel ---||| to help you dig yourself out of that pile of bullshit.

Hi LiL, my name is Leo and I jump and Skydive Chicago, welcome to the club. Did anyone else notice that its been 10 min. since Erica’s first post and Freefallfreak has not hit on her yet? He must be getting old.

Liar!!! No one knows THE TRUTH!!!

Try Rigs and Things www.para-service.com Prices are great and so is the service.

Chris Some guy was driving by and saw my main come down. I think he called 911 thinking that some one burned in. 5 minutes after I land I see a cop and an ambulance pull up to the side of the road. I figured that they were probably here for me, so I started walking towards the cop’s car. As soon as the cop sees me he starts yelling “Are you the guy that landed without a parachute?” and I am thinking, hey moron, do you really think I would be walking right now if I landed without a parachute.

Matt, Psycho-packing works great, that was actually the method I was going to show you. I don’t know exactly what happened to my main but I think I misrouted my right break line. As soon as I deployed the canopy went into a fast left dive. I tried to stop the dive by pulling on my right riser but that did not help much. I was loosing altitude fast so I just chopped the sucker.

Chris, I don’t think that was me (I don’t have a camera). I had my cutaway around 1pm, what time did you get there? After I had my cutaway I tried to rent a rig but the only thing they had was a PD 210. I am used to jumping my Spinletto 135 and I really did not want to pay $35 for something as old and heavy as a PD 210. Luckily Kris Bagwell had a spare rig with a Saber 150 in it. Nice canopy but for some reason it opened really hard (my back is still sore).

Hey Matt, I think it is official, you are now skydiving trailer trash. So… when are quitting your job as programmer and starting your new job as packer? Lori can work in the manifest or become a hangar master. I can only dream that one of these days I will have a trailer at the DZ that I can call my own. I did not go to SDC last Sunday but I did go to Morris. I made 4 jumps, could have made more but I had a cutaway on my 3rd jump. If you are going to be at the DZ this weekend I can show you an easy way to pack that new Saphire. Leo

Skymama, You don’t have to be a guy to get a Muff Brother or a Freak Brother license number, all you have to do is pass the initiation.

Hey guys, My plan is to jump at SDC on Saturday and go to Morris on Sunday. Anybody else going to be at Morris?

Wow, that sunset is beautiful. It's amazing how sometimes you don’t realize how beautiful your surroundings are until someone points it out to you. Great photo!!!

Thank you Bill.

Aren’t we all?

HA HA HAAAAAAA another Kodak moment!!!
