    Olson twins

    i heard that they're actually fraternal twins that just look very similar... i have absolutely no proof of that whatsoever but that's what a friend told me, so maybe that's why???
  5. kevin, thank you so much for a kickass weekend. i now know why they call this shit nylon crack. i did 10 birdman jumps these past 2 days and i almost wanted to cry when i had to unlace my rig out of the suit. by far the coolest thing i have ever done in my skydiving career and i will without a doubt stick with it. youre a kickass instructor and we're all so glad you were able to come out and get 5 new birds out there. now where the hell did all my money go??? i need to buy a suit, pronto!!!!
  6. completely off topic but whered you get that sticker of the guy on your helmet? thats f'ing hilarious!
  7. haha, alana's thread got moved out of the bonfire!! clearly she's not cool enough to hang out at the bonfire anymore
  8. I've already told Delmarva that I'll be there and I think at least 3 other regulars have expressed interest. After being weathered out at X-keys last weekend I can't wait for this!
  9. For real??? haha, I'm near Washington, DC here in the US and I've jumped numerous times when its 30 degrees F outside (I guess that would be O degrees C??). Anyways, I'm used to the cold, but thats why I'll be staying in Oz for the month of December... lots and lots of summer jumping while my friends are all here in the states freezing their asses off
  10. yes dear. i love you too
  11. Just got word back from the University of Sydney, and it looks like I'm gonna be taking classes there July through November. Then I'm gonna take a month and travel/jump as much as I can down there until xmas time. This is so unreal right now cuz I've never actually travelled outside of the US, hell I've never even been off the east coast! So all you aussies, any advice?
  12. old name: Bobby Gill new name: Drunken Baller somehow that actually fits me really well
  13. last time i lost my cell at the dz it turned up the next morning on the side of the runway. i noticed it as the first load was taking off and i was looking out the door. ...i guess thatll teach me not to get naked on the runway at night!
  14. I did 9 on my 20th birthday this past January. Not too much to brag about, but I usually take my time and chill between jumps... and dont forget lunch, that always takes out a good chunk of time
  15. no no no no no!!!!! not questioning the man at all. whoa, shoudlve reworded my previous post. just sayin congrats to alicia and all of her accomplishments. i've had the privelege of jumping with her on a few occasions, and shes definitely one badass chick.
  16. now alicia, if i recall correctly its 200 jumps within 18 months... hmm.... i guess having boobs does get you everything you need at a dropzone lucky bastard! i'm doing my first BM flights june 4-5 up at x-keys, so maybe we can get out and flock around sometime in the future!
  17. does anyone know if the 105 fits nicely into the FFX helmet from 2kcomposites? i know the FF2, which is the updated version, does, but i found a really cheap used FFX and im thinking of getting it, so i just wanna make sure my 105 fits in it before i buy it.
  18. wow, i didnt think there was any way to make anything about this thread funny/retarded... but once again skydivers never cease to amaze me
  19. Yeah, the blue packaging is what they have listed on Sony's site so I'll take it that they are the newer ones. BTW, a bunch of places have these blue Sony tapes on sale for something like $3.59/ea until tomorrow. Search around www.froogle.com for the deals. Thanks for the help guys.
  20. Anyone know the difference between these two tapes? They both appear to be Sony 60-min Premium tapes, but I don't see any differences besides packaging. My guess is Sony changed the packaging recently, so both are still on the market. Anyone know what's up?
  21. unfortunately, the pc-105 is discontinued so if you want to get one you better act fast. there are quite a few places out there offering them but in actuality are scams. i would recommend checking ratings from www.resellerratings.com www.bbb.org
  22. if you read up on the sony cameras in the photography forum you'll read tons and tons about how the new pc-109 is not the best choice out there. the pc-105 is soooo much better and if you look hard enough you can still find some dealer's selling them. i'll be ordering my 105 later this week once my paycheck comes in just my $.02
  23. leave it in! it builds character
  24. wow, wayyy too many words in that description right there. with your welcoming into the sport, i'd like to introduce you to a new term for these "others"... we call them whuffos. learn it, live it, love it. blue skies!
