  1. hey skydivachicky, thanks for the reply. let us know if you get the gig. i actually almost got on a show, No Boundaries on the WB... i know you're like what? it's another survivor that will air this fall. i guess they liked my video of the b24 jump and bell jump in my bikini, cuase i made the semifinals, but i must have been too tall i think i scared them in the interview. i hate it when that happens. well, chica, good luck! hey if you get the gig, and they need a second jump chic, i'm there. hmmm... right place at the right time... no commercials being filmed in ohio... hmmmm
  2. everyone... if you jump you should make a huge effort to understand all these terms, how to recognize them, how to prevent them (the bad ones) and how to handle them... seriously. put a practice rig on, and have someone throw the malfunction 8x10 photos over your head... remeber about the 5 seconds you have to make a decision... know what you're looking at and practice until it's instinctual how to react, 3 pulls on the main, cut, pump brakes, kick out, no cut, pull reserve, whichever... and in the air, you won't be sitting still under the image of those malfunction photos, you'll be tossed all over the place... just a thought, blew skies, pull high, not too high, don't forget your chest strap, love your rigger, tip you packer, track far far away, and geek the camera, ask more questions, smile
  3. not to take away from your gig or anything, but i'm curious, how do you get asked to do commercials or anything like that? thanks

    Olav Zipser

    Olav is awesome. My dz winter tripped it to pahokee this past february. we had a blast. Olav (and Steve-O sometimes) shot video of all our big way's (organized by the Byrd man-we all know he's a skygod)... but for $20, Olav dubbed all the jumps, edited with music onto a vhs and sent us each a copy. not only is it fantastic to have 15 of our jumps on video, but the footage is awesome, he's a great camera flyer. I can't speak of the FF school personally, i can't freefly in my current rig ... but i'm working on it. but i just thought i'd add that i enjoyed jumping with him. thanks olav "have a good jump"
  7. wingnut-see you at SGC sometime... froggie-the search on the forums didn't do any good, why don't you just post the link? palmetto - thanks, but it's easy to find his name... btw, google is better than altavista
  8. for the record, sangiro, i didn't give it away any more than you did. but i wouldn't post a link to it. oh well, guess you'll have to go kill that directory too, you know, you can't have people knowing what you look like!!!
  9. sangiro, no worries, i know you were busy or getting busy or something like that... and did you surf through my old and very out of date site to come up with the science and engineering token? oh, and guru is far from the right word, maybe slave. well, for now... so OLD site, that's all i needed to know, still way too easy to find... but your other 2 bungee jump photos aren't on there... what happened to those links? (don't kill me)- when and where's byron??? I have only jumped one dz west of the mississippi, that was coolidge. but i did hit wffc last year and had a blast!!!! i'll probably go to at least half the week there again, maybe the other half at SDC... sapient eh... hmm....
  10. just highlight the yellow text then it's easy to read. so where are those pics... c'mon, there's a naked woman in a tandem rig on the Pub... lew http://lewmonst.com/
  11. that's all emma!! and why should anyone stalk you? you started it anyway ____________ lewmonst.com
  12. ok sangiro you win i didn't look at all your posts, but a few, and i found las vegas trip photos, and lions under the wing of an airplane, but NO other photos of your head honchoness. but the search has taught me a lot about your site. Hey, i like markup, but can do so much more with html, how can i use html tags instead of markup? look at all the pretty colors!!! ok, i need to get back to work, but here's another question for you sangiro, what's your "real world" job? and do you still travel a bunch? which boogies do you hit? ok 3 questions... that's enough for now skies lew lewmonst@dropzone.com ____________________ http://lewmonst.com/ ____________ lewmonst.com
  13. ok, where's the pic of you in just your rig? i give up. so you'll be in ohio? coming back to the US and ohio of all places?!?!? well, i usually just at richmond, Indiana, and sometimes SGC/xenia (shh...) ____________ lewmonst.com
  14. ok, give me a hint... if you have some other photo out there, i can't find it.... why'd you remove the other directory? and i'm sure they're wondering, let them use their imagination ____________ lewmonst.com
  15. oh i've got skills allright... sangiro you made that way too easy. fyi, the photo album link doesn't work and i couldn't get the webcam... i didn't want to wait forever for it to load... but i'm diggin your personal site, it's about as far along as my personal site. i just don't have anything like dz.com to show off my html skills like you... i love the banner btw, and hell yeah, if i come to san fran we'll take new photos, maybe like that in your banner, only more colorful... (you could come to ohio you know) ____________ lewmonst.com

  21. imagine the drive in the back of the pick-up truck to a luanch site. clearing all the catcus and twigs, you lay out the hot-air balloon, and wait patiently for it to swallow enough air as it rises up and off the earth, jumping in as the basket leaves the dust, and the sun approaches the mountains, you find yourself fidgeting in the small space with the pilot and 2 other jumpers... slowly the air brings your glorious ship hundreds to thousands of feet about the desert, you crouch in the basket and hang over the size to keep your hair out of the flames. And the static blast of noise firing the hot air struggles to balance with the peacefulness and silence of the ride. the further you see off the less you see below you and you reach your destination altitude in sweat union with floating above the landing zone. the time is now, you brace yourself as the first jumper frees himself of the balloon and races into a speck of visibility near the ground until you see the beautiful red canopy open like a fluff of a tissue, and you feel the air compression in your eardrums as the balloon counteracts and rises without the wiehgt... you wait until you start sinking once again as the second jumper falls. You watch the body blend into the bushes on the ground, and just when you think she passed out and there's no time, her chute pops open and she turns towards the runway... your turn. checking your handles, you climb backwards onto the ledge of the basket staring into the torch, and you launch without looking, backfliping off and kicking the basket away from you, you feel the nothingness, no wind, no resistance, just freedom as the air increases velocity over your naked body and you have no idea where you are relative to the ground. checking your altimeter every 300 ft, just a little longer, just a little closer, the cacti get big and you know, pull, all opens well, and you scream with excitement, you are flying naked in the sky on a beautiful sunset in the desert, this is freedom, so you have the nerve to land and present yourself next to the hanger, cuase you don't care about the spectators, your hands are shaking and your eyes are watering, and all you're wearing is shoes... Nice landing. So what do you think? Boring? (sorry for the copy, but no one reads "just another daydream" by anonymous...) ____________ lewmonst.com
