  2. I kind of took pride in this one Ford Mustang - I slow down to 85 in school zones Fly it like you stole it!
  3. Yep, there are several people bringing spare harnesses, and I'm working on a place to rent shoes from. Fly it like you stole it!
  4. Love my Ride bindings. They were by far the most recommended here in CO by all my friends. The way they are laid out they can be installed on any board, and they feel A LOT sturdier than some of the other ones. Oh, and you also want to make sure the way to release them is easy, I just have to slap at my foot and they start unratcheting, I know a couple people that you have to do some fancy hand work to get them undone. As for boots, go to the store and try them on, walk around the store in them for 20 min and see how they feel. I recommend ones with separate liners though, they are warmer and you can wash the liner when they get really stinking. I have Salomon boots. Fly it like you stole it!
  5. oops, sorry...I fixed it. Your personal gear is just fine, no need for anything extra. Fly it like you stole it!
  6. Yep it will be on the 29th and via a PM I received from someone who jumps at SDA Queens creek is only about an hour from the DZ, while the next closest place is 3 hrs. Derek is planning on bringing all his rappelling stuff including static ropes and devices. So you shouldn't need anything but your harness, shoes, and beaner. There are also several other people who said they would bring stuff so hopefully we will be outfitted for doing lots of things. Fly it like you stole it!

    DZ.com dating

    Don't forget...if you start dating someone from DZ.com HH gets finders fees. FYI....I wonder what the finders fee from HH for hooknswoop will be since I'm the one that got him posting here. Fly it like you stole it!
  10. I experienced the opposite. I had to flare lower than I do here in CO, of course I also had to flare less. Fly it like you stole it!
  11. Ok an update for everyone. Climbing is scheduled for Dec. 29th which is on a Monday, in Queens Creek Canyon. 18 people have manifested. We have plenty of spare harnesses coming and I'm working on finding a place to rent shoes in Eloy. Fly it like you stole it!
  12. The 29th Fly it like you stole it!
  13. too cool... I'm chicken shit, way to scared of having to trust other people to make sure everything is set up right. Fly it like you stole it!
  14. We have changed every rig in the house that wasn't already set up like that. (my Mirage came with stows down the center). Keeps the lines neater, less chance of "line dump" since the stows are closer together, and keeps the bag from bouncing back and forth when openings. Personally I'd never go back to the other location for stows. Fly it like you stole it!
  15. They are just a guide on how hard the route is to climb. Beginner 5.4-5.7, intermediate 5.8-5.10, expert 5.11 and up. Climbing up your stairs would probably be something like a 3, to give you an idea. Fly it like you stole it!
  16. Me bouldering at the gym. JT those pics of yours totally rock!!! When Rosa comes out to climb I'll have to come join you guys. Fly it like you stole it!
  17. well I have some pics from the gym....I know not as good as outside, but it's cold out there. Pics of Derek Bouldering Fly it like you stole it!
  18. Everyone should keep ALL their serial numbers written down someplace that isn't part of thier skydiving stuff. You never know when you stuff might get stolen. Fly it like you stole it!
  19. yep I have to work 6-4, tomorrow friday and saturday. *shrug* oh well, it's actually the norm. Fly it like you stole it!
  20. ok...what was the symbol? I can't visualize it. Fly it like you stole it!

    Snowboarding!!!

    When I was hit last year, it was my wrist that was broken. I had taken off my wrist guards cause I was doing really good and didn't think I needed them, I always wear wrist guards now. I do checkout helmets everytime I go to the store, but I've yet to find one that fits right, as soon as I do I plan on buying it. It's not a matter of being to cool for one, it's a matter of having an odd shaped head. Fly it like you stole it!
  23. Nope, I gained the weight after I met you. The next day at Perris I blew out my knee on a landing and basically spent the next couple of months doing nothing since it was so weak. Then I started climbing at the beginning of Sept and quickly lost the weight I put on. I'm now back at my normal weight, I may put a bit more back on, but no matter my muscle tone I tend to stay at this weight if I'm active. Fly it like you stole it!
  24. Thanks sweet *hugs* I went back and looked at the pic from Sept, and wow there is a difference. I knew I lost 15 lbs but I didn't realize how much thinner I was looking. I can't wait for the trip either....I get to jump with you again, and go climbing. This is going to be so much fun. btw....I'll PM you about your knee. My right knee dislocates at the drop of a hat (ask Mouth), so I may know a few tricks to get you threw the boogie. Fly it like you stole it!
