I'm not going to repeat what's been said but this one has not been mentioned Fear of The Black Hat. It's a spoof of the group NWA but it's NWH ( Niggaz wit hatz ) See it, you'll laugh your ass off Chris " Quit your job and light a fart, eat your favorite private part " - The Man Show Song

Nobody on the 1st load had boobies. ( damn ) On the second load the tandem had boobies, but they stayed out of sight ( god damn ) " Quit your job and light a fart, eat your favorite private part " - The Man Show Song

Yesterday ( Thursday ) I called in sick to work saying I had a sore throat. Then I took a shower and HEADED OFF TO THE DZ!!!!! I get there at about 11:15am and there is nobody at the DZ. The gear store is closed so I cant pick up my rig and the only people there are the 3 in manifest. I decide to kill time I'll go for a walk. This DZ is huge w/ trails that lead into the forest and then to the river so I start walking. I found out there is a rope tied to a big tree that can be used for swinging into the river on hot days so that was cool. Over all I walked around for about an hour and headed back to the hanger to see there is still nobody there and the gear store is still closed I decide to go into town and get some food just to kill some time. I drive to the nearest Wendy's and eat. Then head back to the DZ. Still nobody there. Shit, I don't wanna go home but I feel like an idiot sitting in the hanger by myself so I pop a video in and watch it on the big screen TV. Two videos later some people walk in and come to find out two of them are doing tandems!!!!! I'm going up, finally going to fly. Some fun jumpers came out of the trailer city to jump and I was asked if I wanted to do some sitflying w/ a 3 way tube exit. Hell yeah that sounds like some fun!! After take off I hear the pilot ask if we want some extra alt. Of course the whole plane cheers ( all 6 of us ) and he agrees to take us up to 17,500!!!! I couldn't belive we were going to be that high. We held the tube for about 40 seconds and then sat and flew around the sky. Remember there were two tandems? There was only one tandem master so we got two loads off, the second one we went to 17,000!!! I was so glad I didn't go home, never give up!. Have a good weekend everyone! Jump your brains out

Good thing it's only Tuesday. I'm gonna talk to Cypres420 to see if he is going to drive there or not. Let me try to plan everything and get back to you guys...hopefully I'll know everything tomorrow. " Quit your job and light a fart, eat your favorite private part " - The Man Show Song

I'll PM them tomorrow, I'm going home. " Quit your job and light a fart, eat your favorite private part " - The Man Show Song

I found train tickets to St. Louis. I didn't see any closer cities on the site. Could anyone pick us up? ( two people ) it would be on Saturday at 12:45pm. This is not for sure but it might work " Quit your job and light a fart, eat your favorite private part " - The Man Show Song

Thanks for all of the info. I did find their number in the mean time in one of the Parachutists I have here for " when I can't take it anymore ". I called them and left a message so when they call I'll see if anyone has a 150. I'm gonna check out greyhound to see if I can get a bus ticket down there or something, my car is a P.O.S. and will blow up if I drive it. I really hope to go. I'm trying to plan something w/ Cypres420 ( The only one out of the group of 8, that did their 1st tandem, that stuck w/ the sport ) " Quit your job and light a fart, eat your favorite private part " - The Man Show Song

Do they have a web site Tomas? I wasn't able to find one. I'm considering coming down but I don't have a rig ( I have everything but a main and cypres ) completed so I would be renting, do you know they're phone# so I could call?

how far is Archway from SDC? I'd love to come down. Better point of reference, how far from U of I? " You gotta keep on keepin' on, life's a garden dig it! " - Joe Dirt

I don't know what rumors you guys are talking about and maybe thats because I'm ignorant to the fact but I've seen nothing but Roger give back to the people that helped him have HIS own DZ airport etc. ( i e the people that jump there ) Maybe you would like to clue me in w/ a PM. Try reading his weekly updates and his " Religious and Personal beliefs ". I'm not religious but what he writes is really intriging. I dont want to come off as one of " Roger's people " I am just being honest and trying to get some insight.

Yeah, there is. I think that might have been one of the many bars I went to. I have know idea what it looks like inside and there were no .25 beers that night.[sad] I've only been to Champaign a handful of times so haven't seen much of it. I did go to some awesome head shops though " You gotta keep on keepin' on, life's a garden dig it! " - Joe Dirt

There is nothing like waking up on Sunday and getting a burger at Murphy's. Another place I thought was nice is Bub's(?) It's a bar in front and a night club in back. I went there w/ 10-15 friends and hung out in the Sun room. I agree w/ this whole posts though.

Michele, you don't have to be worried that you love N' sync. The VCR is just taping it huh? C'mon! You know you love all of those closet herion addicts!! Alright I'm making no sense but I want to jump god dammit!!! ( Sorry Ms. Radloff ) Maybe tommorow, if the clouds are nice I just read what I typed and I realized I shouldn't drink KING COBRA. $1.45 for 40oz well Michele I wish you blue skies and awesome jumps w/ the softest landings " You gotta keep on keepin' on, life's a garden dig it!

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAHA ( wipes tear from eye ) that was some shit. I would love to have seen his face as he realized that he passed 30ft AGL and isn't stopping anytime soon. Thanks for the laugh MM. " Everyone tells me I'm crazy, crazy ppl aren't so fu**ng boring. "- Jawbreaker

I'll be there on Friday if the clouds aren't too thick. Saturday it is supposed to be nice out so I'll be there. If anyone see's a tall, skinny, 20 yrs old kid w/ glasses that looks like a Beetle ( I know I need a hair-cut!! ) I'd totally be down for some RW. I finally stopped spinning in my sit so maybe some FF. CHris " Everyone tells me I'm crazy, crazy ppl aren't so fu**ng boring. "- Jawbreaker

I've had my Wings for about a month or so and haven't jumped it, but it's totaly comfortable in all positions on the ground. ( I've done headstands, walked all over the house in it, and mocked sitting in the plane ) I got it built custom and ending up spending only $920 brand new w/ rings, stripes, p/o handle, kill line PC. You would have no problem finding a used one for a bigger guy. They are free-fly friendly too. No bridle and the riser covers pack real tight. Do your homework would be my best advice though bro. Good Luck!! CHris " Everyone tells me I'm crazy, crazy ppl aren't so fu**ng boring. "- Jawbreaker

I'm sorry Fonz, I know nothing about computers or else I could help you out. Does anybody know what fonz could do? CHris " You're so proud of your physique but you still want your cake. "- Jawbreaker

Help the Newbies!!! People like you is what makes this sport great. The ability to pass down knowlege for the simple fact it makes you feel good and not expect anything in return. The guy telling you that you're taking buisness away from him is not teaching for the right reasons and should be stopped before he starts. I, being a newbie w/ 33 jumps, found it a lot easier to make RW jumps. In fact my first RW jumps off student status was an 8-way with some real good RWs. For the rest of the day I made about 4 more RW jumps and had a blast ( thanks Roger and Rainbo!! ). Freeflying has been a little harder to come by as far a jumping. I can talk body position all day on the ground but when it comes to it I'm doing a solo. So, what I'm saying is keep teaching the newbies. It makes it better for everyone!!!

The Cypres will be the last thing I buy. I just think it's a really good thing to have, I'd kind of be freaked to go on my head w/o an AAD. Staying current is definatly important. I make by doing 1 or 2 jumps every other weekend. Not just bullshit jumps but fun/educational jumps.
