  1. No, you're a soldier, now bring your ass with me to Dublin! That's an order! Oh yeah, and bring us your beer!!! Katie Get your PMS glass necklace here
  2. And that's the point. Ed may be a shining example of "doing it for the love", but not everybody is. Many are just doing it for the money. How many rich professional skydivers do YOU know??? The $$$ isn't that good. Ask someone who JUST skydives for a living what their monthly paycheck after taxes is... it's not even enough to cover the mortgage - not even close. I don't know a single skydiving instructor doing it "just for the money" including the Golden Knights, Black Daggers, the Test Board, and other military freefall instructors. Those guys get paid to do it regularly but still bring their families to the dz on the weekend to instruct... believe me, it's not for the money.
  3. I think it's the other way around. I distinguish skydiving from BASE - I think the wingsuiting part is similar.
  4. Sweet!!! I'll have a few more in tow... Katie Get your PMS glass necklace here
  5. Congratulations!!! Pics?! Katie Get your PMS glass necklace here
  6. Robert had a pretty clear-cut take on direction of wingsuiting in this month's Skydiving... "In the future, I think that wingsuit skydiving will develop into sub-disciplines, with suits optimized for each discipline, similar to what we see on the canopy market. 1. Free flocking for those who love cruising around the skies with friends. 2. Acrobatic flying for performing acrobatic maneuvers. 3. Performance flying for maximizing flight performance." His admitted discipline, which was a completely different category, is wingsuit B.A.S.E. Katie Get your PMS glass necklace here
  7. Another reason to come to Dublin... you can get unsolicited mixing tips from Shimell! Lovin' ya, Mark - like in prison! Katie Get your PMS glass necklace here
  8. If so, I have a hotel room with an extra room and a rental car with unlimited miles. I fly into Gulfport around 10:00 pm Friday and leave around 6:00 pm Sunday. I'm going to call ahead and make sure my waiver's ready to go. If there's anyone (female, of course), that's still looking for a room, PM me and I might be able to help you out...
  9. Thanks for keeping us updated, Mike. I for one am still buying a ticket to fly out in April. Keepin' the faith... Katie Get your PMS glass necklace here
  10. Gasp... you wouldn't! Actually I see both those pics every once in a while... remember, I framed them and gave them to his motorcycle club and they hung it in the bathroom. Caption read: SM1, Before and After. Katie Get your PMS glass necklace here
  11. Dude, that's funny... I just downloaded that yesterday morning!

    You must not have bitched as loud as Chuck did then... We were getting ours after the 10th many months in a row so Chuck called. It's been great since.
  18. Oh yeah, and I have gas really bad today... all day... even skeered the dog outta the room! Sometimes its liberating when you're alone! Katie Get your PMS glass necklace here
  19. Here, let's save some bandwidth! Katie Get your PMS glass necklace here
  20. Yeah, damn skippy!!! I haven't jumped the S3 yet (no Vigil in 2nd rig) but maybe I'll get my tax return soon and get squared away.
  21. Might make a good poll... Answer for me is no. People don't see me fly my wingsuit that often (mostly at boogies) but I find myself bringing it up at least once a weekend and usually bringing my suit out and at least hooking it up just in case the mood strikes... Usually it just takes someone to see me come down and land with that big gigantic smile on my face and they're sold.
  22. I thought we could pre-pay for the calendar? I've been out of the net though... Katie Get your PMS glass necklace here

    Why don't you try shooting them an e-mail or giving them a call? I always get responses w/in 24 hours with an e-mail...
  24. Jake, that's wrong on soooo many levels!!! Did you send them to her?! Sharon - my god, girl, where have you been?! Can't wait to see you too! Katie Get your PMS glass necklace here
