  1. Summerfest....I would have like to been there more. I wasnt able to get off of working. The day I was there though I had a really good time. Only did 1 jump but everyone was in such high spirits, especially on the ride to alti. Didnt' get to jump the heli or dc-3 but there is always next year. I think the band your thinking of is Generations. I'll do some better planning next year and be there the whole week to meet some of ya's. Blue skies, cold beer Chris
  2. 32 jumps: 1 from a King Air. 31 from a Super Twin Otter. I need to get out more. CHris
  3. Well I used to jump a Javelin w/ a Safire 150 but now its a Javelin w/ a Sabre2 150. Only one jump on the Sabre2 but more to come. Chris
  4. [asian accent] ahhhh soooooo[/asian accent] CHris
  5. What do you mean by that? CHris
  6. Damn Viking!!! Those Pic are great!!! You definatly have an eye for photography. Have you ever thought about going to School for it?? CHris
  7. [storytime]One day I'm on the web at work and I'm checking out skydive chicago's bulliten board. Someone was selling a 50% off certificate for a Wings Container. I emailed her and she was selling it for $300. I thought it over ( not knowing it would be off retail only ) and I bought it. Later in the week I called Sunrise Rigging just to get some info and let them know my situation. They felt kinda bad that I bought this certificate for $300. Turns out I'd only be saving close to $150. So, to make a long story short Sunrise rigging knocked off $200. $1,330 minus 50%. Plus options is $780 plus $300 ( for the certificate ) is $1080. Minus $200 is $880.[/storytime]. Thats why Sunrise Rigging Kicks A$$!!!! Chris
  8. I know what you mean about being star struck. I was down there last Thursday taking a test to get current and saw Olav sitting there drinking a Heini. Hmmmm....what the hell would I say to that guy? I'll be down there on Sunday, If you see a moptop looking guy w/ rental gear say what up. Chris
  9. $880 for a brand new custom *empty* container. I figure when I'm ready to downgrade it'll have good resale value. A lot of people freefly with Wings at Skydive Chicago and the riser/pin protection seems ROCK SOLID. And skreamer, when can I try your rig? C'mon on down to Skydive Chicago. Chris
  10. Totally. Articulated harness, kill line pc. , mid flap stripes, and the hackey for $880. I'll take it. Chris
  11. Thats funny, the rig in that pic is the same colors I'm going to be getting!! More purple and pink though Blue beer, cold skies ( strike that, reverse it. ) Chris
  12. I'd rather have a sissy rig than no rig at all I didnt know you flew a Wings Matt. How ya like it? Blue beer, cold skies ( strike that, reverse it ) Chris
  13. I just got off the phone w/ Sunrise Rigging ( Wings ) because I'm going to be buying a new container

  15. First jump since April 28th. 3:1:1 first jump w/ my Bonehead. Blue beer, cold skies ( strike that, reverse it ) Chris PS. Summer fest Kicks A$$!!! STL
  16. This is completely off topic but I really need your thoughts. I had a 50% off a brand new Wings Container offered for $300. What would you do if you really need gear? I think its one of the best deals I was able to find. Thanx, Chris
  17. Awesome, if you have a slot for " sux " count me in. I can be the spinning sit flyer blue skies, cold beer Chris
  18. I'll be down at Summer fest on Sunday and maybe take a " sick " day during the week. Look for the guy who looks like a member of the Beetles and say what up. ( mop top lookin' guy ) Blue skies, cold beer chris
  19. My name is Christopher Biard. I'm a Customer Operations Specialist. That means I work on a Helpdesk for Ameritech and support IBM's telephones. When they have a problem they call me.
  20. Anything by Jimmy Hendrix would be awesome, especially ( and obviously ) Purple Haze. " Excuse me, while I kiss the sky. " It'd make for a good freeflying video. Also, there are some jammin' Radiohead tunes out there i.e. " Paranoid Android" and number 12 off of Pablo Honey. Chris
  21. I dont know if I've heard that song, but I borrowed a Grandaddy CD from my friend and they're awesome. The cover had rolling hills in the backround and the words were spelled out in computer keys. Have you ( or anyone ) heard of a band called Modest Mouse? Blue beer, cold skies, ( strike that, reverse it ) chris
  22. I had to send that to everyone, on my desk, who drinks.
  23. Hey bossman, my email is not letting me check my inbox, it says there expired. How can I renew it. It also said to reference ID 4900. blues, Chris
