The Farringtons at Kapowsin Air Sports in Washington are AWESOME! Andy and Keri have both been JM's for me and have always helped me out when I needed it. One morning after spending the night at the DZ, I woke and walked down the hallway following the smell of eggs, bacon and hashbrowns! Geoff was cooking breakfast for all the overnight guests! The next morning Jessie had just finished making cinnimon rolls! Jessie taught me to pack and Geoff showed me how the three-rings works, how an RSL works etc. Very cool family running one of the best DZ's you'll ever have the pleasure of jumping at

You know what I want to see? A rodeo where the person on top is standing. That would be the COOLEST picture...ok...back to my dark little corner

13's a bit of a late start don't ya think

I think the phrase, "Don't Fix What Ain't Broke" sums this up fairly well. Kids have ALWAYS done some crazy things behind the scenes that parents may or may not find out about. That's how it goes. It's a part of life and it's a part of growing up. Video surveilance is for inmates, not your average teens. It seems no one here sides with the over bearing, paranoid parents. So how on earth is this "Spy movement" gaining ground? I think these parents are just using this as an excuse to buy these cool spy toys. They need to find a better use. Or leave the spying to the professionals. The latter is my preference.

The only good that spying on your kids will do, is teach them to be sneakier. That's it.

That may not have been a very good idea. Depending on altitude...what if you were to try, it didn't work, and you weren't able to get the toggles off your hands before pulling silver...then you risk a possible entanglement. If I ever get a tension knot, I hope that I don't hesitate to cut away

ick...I would feel sorry for the packer... When I first started packing, there was NO way I would let anyone else jump my packjob. At least when I jumped it, I truely expected the worst and was 100% ready for it...if I had packed a mal for someone else...oh I would feel terrrrible
-
What is it that you want to know? Just wondering if it's a very common mal? As far as I know it's not very common. I think most common way to cause it is to have poor line stows, messy and disorganized. Otherwise they shouldn't happen.

While I was in Eugene, I saw one of the Tandems have a tension knot mal. I was on the ground watching the abnormally long snivel and then the subsequent cutaway. Oddly enough though, the lines were fine when it finally landed. The TM was absolutly positive that it was a tension knot though so...Anyway, all was well, the main and freebag were stuck together and landed at a local golf course

I'm totally fine talking infront of people, it's giving "speeches" that bugs the hell out of me. It's all the stigma around it that freaks me out. But if you throw me infront of a group of people and tell me to talk, no problem. It's easier when I'm talking about something I really like. Around half my presentation was about skydiving, the effects that fitness training had on it. That was great...it was the garbage about the actual project that sucked...
-
Awesome! I'm glad to see that you're outta there and are happy with it. Just remember to keep a position open for me when you enter the fortune 500

WHOHOO! I passed! I had my entire speech typed out on 3 double sided homemade 3x5 note cards in 8pt font thinking that I was gonna end up practically reading the speech, but I didn't use the cards much at all, other than to find my next topic. I don't know what my "grade" is, but I'll find out tomorrow. All I know is the board said that everyone passed. Thanks all for your vibes, it helped

Wow, quick replys! Ohhhhmmmmm...Ohhhhhmmmmm (absorbing all these vibes...)

Well in 2 hours I'll be waiting in line to give my Senior Project Presentation. It's not THAT big of a deal. It's a 10 minute presentation on my experiences with fitness and weight training. I was SUPPOSED to give the presentation yesterday, but...I flaked and didn't have ANYTHING written and I hadn't even bought a presentation board (required). Yesterday around noon I started writing the speech and once I finished with that...around 5 ish, I went to the store and bought the board and spend the next 3 hours putting together a semi visually attractive display. I've been rehearsing my speech all morning, and i just got back from buying a pair of slacks and a dress shirt...since the fanciest clothing I had was a ratty pair of jeans and a long sleeve shirt with a slightly visably BBQ stain Anyway, I HATE presentations and I can't wait to get this over with, any vibes would be appreciated

I think it would rock to jump with a boogie board... -
I've had them and it's not that big of a deal, but it should be taken care of before landing, which takes some time. Sometimes they just don't want to inflate, and they just add time to the opening sequence. No they're not a huge deal, but remember, canopies aren't supposed to have closed cells. They're not "normal"...
