  3. This is funny crap! Finally looked up how to nicely link funny crap! -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --
  4. DAMN IT DAMN IT! There's this old school here in Denver I've been eyeing for the past five years with the same type of idea. I was thinking more along the lines of Indoor climbing, wind tunnel, paintball... Wishing had money and business knowledge! -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --
  5. Is your working drive getting full? Have you defragged lately? Do you have a seperate working drive?? -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --
  6. "...but if someone tracks over my head, it tells me that I lost a lot of altitude after break off." Exactly!!! Learn to flat track better! This is precisley what I thought to myself the few times people have been in airpsace above me. Luckily I'm like 6 foot 1 and a bean pole so I don't have too much trouble flat tracking. Blue ones... -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --
  7. The few times I've rolled and seen them above me, I actually adjusted my track a bit, checking where I'm going first of course and allowed myself to watch them open before dumping. -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --
  8. Compression is key my friend... -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --
  9. Hmm - just got back from my superfund site... RockyFlats is definately no DZ -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --
  10. "To prevent these accidents, the culture of skydiving needs to change not just a set of rules." Its about time someone gets it. IMHO of course. -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --
  11. Mine only works half the time anyhow and my eyes are my best altimeter. -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --
  12. Nice shooting Josh! -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --
  13. "I am kinda concerned that i'll never learn how to land this thing properly..." Common fear - you'll get it - congrats!!! Your awareness is commendable (sp? yah right)! Awareness/visualizatoin is 90 percent of the sport IMHO so you are on track to becoming a great jumper if you are already remembering the details you've pointed out! Good luck and HAVE FUN!!!! -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --
  14. In all my years of jumping in the midwest, the air never felt like it feels at MileHi or Calhan in Colorado - not even remotely close. I fly a Stiletto 135 when I'm back in the midwest, and my Colorado rig is a Sabre135 and the Sabre out here still feels faster overall than my Stiletto back home... Not to say that isn't true, I've just never experienced that in 9 years of jumping in the midwest and Colorado... -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --
  15. Honestly? It doesn't matter what kind of vehicle you are in, if you are a hotty, I'm going to look -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --
  16. No compared to EVERY OTHER sport I participate in, Skydiving is much much safer. Even after losing friends, I know damn well that all three of them lost their lives living which is more than I can say for the majority of the population running around the good ol USofA... -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --
  17. Calhan is the highest civilian DZ in the US. When you get to Quincy you will wonder where all of your speed has gone - two completely different beasts. If you can land in Calhan, Quicny won't be anything. I've had my share of "interesting" landings at Calhan and learned VERY VERY fast that you really need to be as conservative as you were when initially learning swooping techniques there as that place will eat ANYONE up alive regardless of their experiences elsewhere if they've never been to Calhan b4. GOod to hear you didn't batter yourself to badly! -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --
  18. Yah I'm positive, I only make it out to the DZ about 10-15 days a year here in Colorado because my work takes me elsewhere. I haven't made too many acquaintances up there, I ususally just hook up with someone when we are about to load or do video for a RW or sit fly group. Kind of keep it low key cuz I have no self confidence -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --
  19. I can send you numerous videos of fast flat tracks with rolls in them... Duh - edited - with on heading performance as well as little forward speed lost... -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --
  20. Not to mention with all of the black mold issues lately, do not file for water damage. Many insurance companies are really fearing the black mold and do not want to cover people at all once they've filed for any type of water damages in states where black mold is prevelant... -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --
  21. I covered something like 2 miles - from one side of the Lost Prarie to the other side - maybe even 3 when I won the intermediate tracking contest five years ago. Anyone thats been to LP know the width of that valley??? -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --
  22. DWI? Going to jail Speeding? Expensive ticket, possibly jail Reckless driving? Expensive ticket, possibly jail All could result in death just as easily as the incident in cally tho... -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --
  23. The M&M thread got me thinking too - my favorite candy bars are MandMs. Hands down. I will forever look at MandMs in a different light! Thanks BKDice and txblondie (edited for correct names). -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --
  24. Got my D finally, now I can legally jump into my wedding in August! D26421 OH SO CLOSE -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --
  25. Hmmm - for once I am at a loss for words. I will begin saving M&M's for the day we meet. -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." --
