We have a friend down there participating and he is having a blast, said the people there are cheering them on so loud that it's like hitting a wall of sound, you can feel it. Fly it like you stole it!

Hey you are in luck, there is a DZ about 45 min from Colorado Springs, and you can jump till your nuts are cool. Fly it like you stole it!

Your rigger can easily make you a new one. Derek made me a new one cause my 1st one was to large. It took him about 30 min to make. Fly it like you stole it!

Not according to these charts Hooknswoop is an Icarus dealer, so my info is from the horses mouth. Fly it like you stole it!

you need to install Girlfiend 2000, it was made to run with skydiving 1.0. Unfortunately it sucks resources from Money 2000 and installs "you're my pack bytch" 1.0 Fly it like you stole it!

That is only true in the case of the Safire1 and Omega. The Safire2, Crossfire, Crossfire2, Omni, FX, and VX are all measured the same way PD measures their canopies. Fly it like you stole it!

yep you can order it threw para-gear, and several other places that supply rigging materials. Fly it like you stole it!

Well we just made Derek a pair of BASE pants out of a poly/rayon blend. They turned out really nice, the texture of the pants is smoother and seems stronger than the poly/cotton blend ones we have made in the past. Only downside for skydiving is the color, we could only get it in a green/brown color. (This is a upside for BASE). We also on use E-thread, but with Derek being a rigger we have tons of it on hand.

Just remember the thread you want to use for a jump suit is called seal thread....it basically seals the seams together so they don't come appart. Fly it like you stole it!

Hey girl, I forgot that you climb, Derek has been doing it for years, I just started a month ago. It's a total blast and easy on my knees. You know I'd be up for a trip somewhere to go climbing, and we have all the sport climbing gear, since most the routes around here are bolted. I'm on 5.8s right now, but was sidelined lastweek with a cold that is still kicking my ass, hoping to get out to the wall or the gym by the weekend. So JT, wanna get your butt kicked by some girls? I promise we will be nice. Hmmm......note to self, must plan another trip to CA to see Mandy and Rosa. Next trip will definately be an elsinore trip. Fly it like you stole it!

I don't have any pics of them, but the clouds that are caused by high winds hitting the mountain that look like waves are way cool. Fly it like you stole it!

Mmmmm....hooknswoop....yummy HooknSwoop Fly it like you stole it!

I wasn't going to post to this but making weight belts is a pain in the ass, which is why the price is high. Everyone wants custom this and custom that and extra this or that. That is why Derek charged $75 for a weight belt (lead included), which is also why he refuses to make them anymore. It takes hours to make one and if something has to be changed due to something odd the customer wants, it could include days for re-designs. Just not worth the return on the investment. The reason you can get those ankle weights so cheap is that they are mass produced by machines or by people in 3rd world countries. btw....I had a weight vest and after getting my belt I'd never go back to a vest.

oh thank god, my cat isn't the only freak who can't seem to land on things he jumps on. Fly it like you stole it!
-
My freaky fear is grasshoppers, I completely freak out when they jump on me. And yes it is pure entertainment watching me walk in from the landing area at lost prarie. Even better is watching me try to pack my rig with some of the little buggers in the cells. Fly it like you stole it!

they are/were made by percision aerodynamics. You should be able to contact them about the DOM at precision.aerodynamics.com/ Fly it like you stole it!

Actually in that case the spring loaded is better because you don't cock it period. Once it is compressed in the main container it is ready to go. Fly it like you stole it!

I think It's the fact that when someone does a pin check they get a little too excited about opening and closing things. I've had people completely open my reserve flap because as a student the reserve flap was velcro, easy open and close. My reserve is packed super tight is a bitch to get closed on the ground and if hook hadn't been on the plane, I would have been riding it down, no one near me could reclose the reserve flap tabs. Now when someone asked if I need a pin check I state main only and ask them to not hit the rig when done. Of course I jump with hook all the time so he usually does it if I need one. And he gives me a kiss instead of a smack. But what is it with people who grab my hackey and give it a tug? Do they have a death wish? Repeat after me, "tugging the hackey does not make it more secure". Fly it like you stole it!

hehe...I need one of those....my climbing is well....what is a nice term for it.....free for allish. btw...I met you and your wife 2/3 years ago at couchfreaks, I was from Texas at the time. Fly it like you stole it!

Well more than likely I can't get time off from work to go, so if any of you want to get together for food or drinks in Denver in the evening just PM me. Rehmwa, if you guys need any topos or trail info just holler and I can get that for you. Fly it like you stole it!
