What about the man who just jumped off the ESB commiting sucide only days ago with his severed leg landing on the side walk. It should only be fair that the operator take up a law suit against the family and survivors of this victim. Or maybe he didnt "damage the buildings reputation as a safe venue". Either way it'll be interesting to see how this turns out.

As a jump pilot I have absolutley no problem doing a go around when it is needed. It dosent bother me one bit and the extra minute or so that it takes is not really that big a deal. But I have been extemley pissed when Ive had only 6 people in the caravan and I got some yahoo telling me to go back around.

There is a huge sense of loyalitly between the blm and fs jumpers for the equipment they use. if you asked one from either organization who had the best equipment they both would have the same answer. Jumpers are also mobile resources. They will move from one jump base to another as conditions dictate even if its Blm land or FS land. Its also common for thier to be mixed loads of squares and rounds in the same plane. and from the last news i heard the fs is trying to develop a system for its own jumpers using the squares. and for anybodys info i spent 5 years working for the blm as a hotshot, i missed my chance to be a jumper when i got a stress fracture on my tiba after day 5 of rookie training.

Ive done about 55 hours of hard larbor on a wildland fire. Going from 100 degrees plus during the day down to the 40's at night out in the nevada desert. We got to finish the whole ordeal off with a nice 3 hour hike out. Ahhhhh the good old days

Ill deffinatley will. I'll also try and take some photos too. I'll should be in town for some of the arrivals, I might stay an extra day or two after my shift to take part of the madness that will be Nome.
-
Ill be looking out for your sisters arrival in Nome. I am working there right now, and the iditarod is the talk of the town. This will be the 1st time I get to see them finish the race, from what I hear things are gonna get a little out of hand as the population of nome almost doubles and the bars stay open all night.

I am currently jumping a jonathan 170, it came with my rig when i bought it. It had about 200 jumps on it. I almost replaced it with something newer with out ever jumping it. I am glad i didnt. its actually a very nice canopy to fly, the openings are great and the landings nice. I have no complaints and plan on jumping it for still some time. You just might like it. I'd say its at least worth giving it a jump.

Anchorage to San Diego, then back home via Airzona, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho back to Washington. All done on my motorcycle. It was around 7500 miles

Sundevils right both places are right next door to one another, its kinda hard to pick and choose one so I'd try em both. For accomdation the north shore is pretty undeveloped. The only resort I can think of is Turtle bay about 30 to 40 mins away. Thier is also a hostel right by Waimea bay its not that bad of a place, about 15 minuets away. Staying in downtown Honolulu might be a better option since it has more options for hotels, eating and nightlife. Regardeless of where U stay, you'll love it.

Last month I waited 4 1/2 hours in the ER. My dad finally called a hospital 20 mins down the road and they said I could walk right in. The price for waiting 4 1/2 with no services renderd $270. The price for cat scan and stitches at hospital #2, $3000. We eventually got the $270 bill droped. And they even gave us a break at the 2nd hospital and it came out to ONLY be $1700 bucks. I made a decision not to get hurt anymore after that.

-

I actually live state side, but i have spent months and months drinking my self around australia. Youll have a great time down there, I cant wait to go back my self. I have jumped out at picton, its a nice place with some great people.

How long are you planning on leaving them for? I know they have lockers at the hostels in syd central where you can leave stuff for days. http://www.yha.com.au/hostels/details.cfm?hostelid=29 thats a link to where thier located. its a good place very clean and up to dat and cheap. almost like a hotel.

Ahhhhh. sipping on my thrid cup of coffee slothing around the house in my boxers. No work till April

I took the train from the down town sydney central terminal to the closest train station to the Picton dropzone. From there they sent some one out with a car. Ive even had them broadcast over the intercom that i was buying the beer to who ever came. worked like a charm. they also run a shuttle from the hostels in down town out to picton almost everyday. One thing i found down there is that they jump a lot till about noon then there is not much jumping after that.

WHAT. I thought van morrison was only singing to me. thats it i am having a talk with that guy running on grass thats a good start. pavement hurts. got the stress fracture to prove it. but theres some good advice from the people here. best thing i can say is that it takes a while to break your body in. Its also mind over matter. IF you dont mind it dosent matter.
-
Hmmmm. Well here is what i would do and i have been in that situation. But I typically spend about a half hour streching before i run then a nice little jog for a few minutes before i actually hammer down. then i follow by streching some more. Another thing to consider is shoes. Shoes and shoes. You have to have the right pair that fit good and are made for running. I have 3 pairs of shoes in the line up right now, so good shoes are key. Also a running specific shoe store would be able to set you straight right there. And one last thing are you running on pavement?
-
Just a question here, but how long has it been since you started ruuning till you got your injury? Its pretty common for people to go overboard too quickly. I've personally been on a 2 month break in just to get my legs up to the point where i can really beat them down.

Count me in Deuce. I'd love to send my bike to europe, Ive already got a little trip I'm plotting in my head. Its also nice to see a few Beemer owners here. Ive got the 1150 GS adventure
