    you know... us camera flyers gotta stick together man. got professional troubles... i'm sorry to hear that. I haven't figured my shit out either, so i'm right there with ya... whatever it is, as my grandmother says, "this too shall pass" i've been reminding myself of that a lot lately. peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

    hey sunny, talk to the locals when you get there. I'd be there but i'm broken and trying to move, so I can't be there. But the locals all pack in the big yellow & white tent closest to the loading area, at least, that's where we were last year. There's a lot of people from Indy who could probably give you a ride... look for Roy Urick, Kevin Yasuda, Casey and Alex, ... have fun at the boogie for me, I'm so jonesin to be there! peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

    Since I broke mine, I've heard from a lot of people who have also broken theirs... And unfortunately I've heard of a handful since then. So if you're in the femur club, speak up. I'd like to know... how'd you do it? did you get the rod? did you leave the rod in? how long till you jumped again? all that good stuff... i'm 16 days past mine. it still hurts. if you didn't read the thread in incidents, it was a nasty reserve ride in Rantoul. peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

    not all ten of you :) but if you need to I'm sure that won't be a problem. I do plan on getting the directions to the party cabin as well! I saved your number in my phone, so we're good to go! only suckie thing is that i won't be able to jump this year. I did two last year, and i'm hooked... i just need real base gear and i'm ready to learn. oh yeah, and my leg needs to heal. peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

    oh hell yeah, everyone parties there... and we'll probably have a room there. I think it's like 10-15 minutes from the bridge. It's the host hotel, so registration and seminars the day before and the party the night after all happen there. see you there! peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

    How's the leg, hon? SWEET!!!! We'll be close to each other as I'm moving to Burbank.

    Cora girl, I can totally understand what you're going through. I am doing the same thing. Only I should have been there and started working right now, instead I broke my leg and I can't move. But I'm going to LA tomorrow, and somehow I will find an apartment and somehow it will all work out... All my family is in Ohio. I've lived in Ohio almost my whole life. Talk about change... It still feels like the right thing to do, but there's so much unknown ahead. I'm totally up for the adventure, but I will miss my family. Peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

    Aww, Thank You Bets. I should take a photo of them now, I've lost about 10 lbs from all this and my muscles are atrophied. My right leg is skinnier and the left thigh near my hip is still swollen. They're funny looking. But no worries, I'm sure i'll get them back in shape when i'm heeled. You are so beautiful Betsy. I can't wait for us to jump together again. peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

    it's cool... I never ever got pissed or anything close to that, not my style. I think it's funny. I get the "where do you play basketball?" all the time... and the "if you and so-and-so had kids man they could be in the NBA..." and stuff like that. when people straight up say "wow you're tall" I get kinda sarcastic and look myself up and down and say, "oh my god, you're right" with a surprised look. i love being tall. except in airplanes so kevin, when you and i get a birdsuit we'll start rippin up the sky. we still need to jump together. peace lew http://www.exitshot.com
  14. lewmonst
    do you get sick of conversations with you always around how tall you are? hmmm.... just wondering peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

    At Rantoul I...

    Sis! you ROCK! I have to back Sis up here. The WFFC is a public event, 24 hrs/day. You cannot be upset if you did something you didn't want on video or film. If so, you shouldn't have done it in the first place. Everyone knows there is a party section of the MSF video, not to mention how many people have cameras there... think about that next time your friends try to convince you to show some skin... or don't care what anyone sees... edit to say: I'm not talking to anyone in particular, that was a general statement... peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

    I fear women from Ohio... you should. Us ohio chicks kick ass. Alana is my girl, i still owe her a jump in Aerohio with Amanda. Alana, you are an instant post whore. How's Amanda? Has she jumped since her reserve ride? btw, remember I hadn't had a reserve ride... well, that's changed. Thanks to that reserve ride i'm a post whore because I can't walk. peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

    My optic has worked well. i like it but it doesn't fit my head very well, but that's my fault for having a wierd head. i have to buckle down the chin cup to where it's really uncomfortably tight. no fear of it coming off, ever... but i'm glad i went to the flattop narrow. peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

    quade is da man! also, the web is a good way to find out if anyone has that name for a company and what is it. And did you intend to spell Aerial wrong? just wondering. If you go to http://www.netsol.com and click on who is in the top right corner, you can see if a URL is actually owned by anyone. For example, I checked www.aerialvisionz.com and it is available. Now, New Media Systems, that owns www.aerialvisions.com could get upset about your similar name, but I doubt that a large profile aerial (just from planes and aircraft, not skydiving) photography company will really care or ever find out about your tandem video company. go for it. peace lew http://www.exitshot.com
  22. lewmonst
    Yep, what he said. We also discussed it already in this thread. you're better off frame grabbing from video until you can get a decent SLR camera. But if you don't care about quality, the skyELPH works. peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

    The Skydive Wayne County(richmond indiana) gear vendor actually lives in Columbus Ohio, and has a lot of his gear there. He's Paraquip, so look him up, give him a call. He's ok, he might try to sell you a smaller main than you're ready for http://www.paraquip.com/ His name is Steve Alexander. Tell him i sent ya. but don't tell him my joke above. peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

    Holy Cow....922

    lewmonst replied to mouth's topic in The Bonfire

    yeah, that's just dumb. i'm scared to see what my leg is gonna cost from Rantoul. The dumbasses took me to a hospital that didn't have a trauma center, just so i'd get the xrays and shit there then put me in another ambulance to the good hospital, a block away... I have insurance luckily, but i'm afraid i maxed it out. the scary thing is they did the same thing to my swooper friend, who i hung out with in the hospital, and he doesn't have insurance and he was there for 11 days. ouch. i can't even imagine. peace lew http://www.exitshot.com

    i think i had about 940 before that crappy one in Rantoul. darn, i was aiming for at least 1000. peace lew http://www.exitshot.com
