Hey we can work something out I'm sure... I'll PM you. peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

i signed it. Missy has been so helpful and supportive of Elsinore, it's the least I could do. peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

ok i just have to back up everyone else on this one and save you some trouble man. Do NOT get a combo suit. you want something to work for both RW and freefly...? well a combo suit doesn't work well for anything. I agree with everyone else here, you should get an RW suit and freefly in some baggy sweats. Besides, there's a lot to be said for refining your belly skills before freefly... (not trying to open a debate here, just sayin.) as for inside grips, eh, if you plan on being a hardcore belly competitor you will use them eventually, but I doubt you need them now (according to your profile.) just my 2 cents peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

hey, hey, i'm here! I will definately get you one! no problem. edit; ok, just catching up on the thread, if the dz won't mail them out Mary, I can get one and mail it to you. peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

Tami's necklaces rock, you can see them all at Rantoul so check them out, nice new website guys!!! Russell also has some cool stuff at Preyor Pins that he and his mom make. their website is very professional too. And WFFC sells cool ones too, find him at the WFFC of course. I've also made a bunch of hemp(macrame?) ones, and they are being sold in GroundZero at Skydive Elsinore. And I take personal requests like Jakes... We did inventory in December, unfortunately since then a few have disapeared from the store... So Kama pulled them off the shelf. I think i'll still have them sold there, we just have to find a better place to put them where they won't be shoplifted. peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

Michelle!!! I will be there with your spirit and I will hug everyone for you! Please stop swearing, it's so not like you. Your surgery is a good thing and you will be better because of it. Let me know if you are up for visitors after your surgery. Cajones and I can bring you your shirt if need be and dinner :) and hang out, or whatever you are up for. peace & love Lew http://www.exitshot.com

There's a lot more to it than that. Have you seen the link at the top of the page? Getting into BASE peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

Ed's going to donate some hours of computer/netword work for a home or business for the raffle/auction. I would have done photos... I'll try to come up with something for the auction as well. peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

Wow, Rosa, you are so sweet! Thank you! I'm getting all misty eyed... i better stop before someone calls me a girl Rosa you are awesome at what you do... i'm horrible at putting clothes together, you should see what i teach in, skeakers, cuordoroys, and a zip up sweathshirt today!!! I wouldn't have been able to figure out a halloween costume without your help. I really belief the whole fashion, apparel, shopping is a real talent. of which i have none. I wouldn't call myself a graphic designer so much as a photo editor and photoshop wiz, as well as talented at borrowing pieces of images from the internet... But Rosa I'd love to work on whatever graphic needs you have. Like I said though, i'm no pro like Christiaan or anything... just a hobby. All you chicks kick ass, glad i could contribute! peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

Yes, come! It will be great! Also don't forget your ghetto marble pastel jumpsuits! and you get to see instructors in jumpsuits and such that should have been burned but wasn't ... peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

YIPPEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! Thanks Sisters (and everyone who complimented me on it!)!!!! I had fun making it as I like to tinker around with photoshop... and yes, the idea came from Charlie's Angels. I'm so glad I get a shirt! I didn't get to jump with you all at the Chicks Rock Boogie because I was still recovering from my accident, and they ran out of Chicks Rock shirts in my size (Large :) ) so i was bummed. But this shirt is going to be WAY COOLER!!!

if you read the other thread, you'd know the answer to that is NO. http://www.exitshot.com

Robin, Thank you. You are so sweet. I think we're okay on loaner gear for now. I wish I could tell you whose ass to kick, we still don't know the cause of the fire. If I did know who (if it wasn't an accident)... oooh, all i'd have to say is watch out. no worries, we've been crying a lot. there is no positive outcome from any insurance for Ed and I. most others are better off with a little help from insurance. some are lucky cause they had infinity's and are getting replacements. one who lost a rig has a good sponsors which cannot help everyone in the same way... several of us are not lucky in such ways. Leif & Anikin are in as deep of doodoo as Ed and I are. they didn't lose as many cameras as us, but their gear was from europe and they came here just to work at the dz... We're supposed to order replacement stuff this week... yeah, right. Thanks again to Terry who was so generous on Saturday jumping on a cloudy day to support us. Thanks to everyone who has donated to the Instructors fund on paypal and posted well wishes. There will be an official Instructor Burn Out Boogie on Febuary 7th/8th with all kinds of fun stuff, organizing, raffles, auction... all proceeds go to instructors fund. stay tuned for details. extra thanks to Skydive Suffolk for lots of student equipment loans... Missy Nelson and everyone who has kept us up in the air. thank you all for your help. sincerely, lew http://www.exitshot.com

You must have missed my thread with details and photos... Elsinore burnt down No they are nowhere near airworthy. Canopies could be pull tested, but trust us, none of them survived. even ones that look like they are still in the dbag were melted together. would have been a fun high speed mal... Even just smoke damage ruins canopies. Been here since August, don't know the name. My thoughts are you are not very familiar with most dropzones and most instructors. Elsinore's school is locked everynight. It's not like we leave them sitting outside. Our school has bars on the windows and steel doors. And our full-time instructors on average have 2 rigs, 2 or 3 helmets, several jumpsuits, still and video cameras and lots of other camera equipment. Would you want to pack that up every night just to get it all back out and set up before 8:00am the next day? peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

I've got one in a bin somewhere if anyone wants one... It's almost an antique, but it still works! peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

nevermind, it's only gotten worse... see you tomorrow peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

Happy Birthday Mel!!! with love from Lew & Cajones! http://www.exitshot.com

You're welcome! My pleasure. I always love an excuse to play on photoshop. I told Mel I have the larger files of that if you want it, and I can easily tweek it to whatever you want as well. I whipped that up in about an hour, so it's no problem. Feel free to use it any way you want and let me know if you have any other visions you need help with, i'm pretty crafty.

I remember that. I meant solo. there's a good chance it would land in the river right? i think it would survive. maybe CR or someone could sew up a 20 sq. ft. parachute for the litte guy. peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

you know Cajones and I will be there. I won't be there till tomorrow night though... peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

Jason, Man, I'm sorry you have to deal with such stupidity. What goes along with organizing a BASE event...? How ridiculous. And I read you got offered $200 for 26 minutes of footage, man, I bet that makes you want to strengle some kittens... I just wanted to say sorry you have to deal with all that... We appreciate everything you do for Bridge Day! How about we sacrifice an animal before the jumping starts this year... Or maybe do the first ever animal base jump - PCA style? I wonder what PETA thinks of the pig/bunnies that jump every year, hope they're not offended. peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

i'm not worried about anyone kissing cajones. and his RB name was originally spelled wrong, it should have been Cojones. but now some of us also call him C.A. Jones, because someone thought that's was Cajones was... lots of variations. peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

WOW, that's awesome! Thank you!!!! http://www.exitshot.com

Yes, fortunately, I hadn't taken it out of my backpack yet. Lori, are you talking about my Flat Top Narrow? I'm still tweeking it, like it better than a chun cup. I'm not sure I'd choose the narrow over the Pro if I had to do it again, I will need that extra real estate when I start putting flashes on and all that. That helmet actually survived, I lost my freefly helmet, Optik with sidemount... peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

Thanks Lori! It's funny you say "brother", I'm with that sentiment. My 10D was my baby. How do you like the rebel for jumping? Not sure I can invest in a second 10D, so I'm trying to see what the alternatives are... Matt, thanks for the thought, unfortunately no home, and no renter's insurance. Attached is a small photo tribute to my late 10D... peace lew http://www.exitshot.com
