  1. First, a HUGE congratulations for losing the 70 lbs last year. It must feel great! Although it might seem like forever, another year and 60 more lbs will not only lengthen your life but let you do more than just one and only jump! Go for it! I started static line with a Goliath-378 canopy (military gear), so this option also exists...however AFF (with AFF instructors who can fall at the same rate as you are able to reach) is a better method. Keep up the quest. You won't be sorry for it.
  2. I thought that Davie Crocket killed him a Bar when he was only 3! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  3. Heehee....just so you know I don't always make fun of others at their expense, he did give me permission to post about it. I'm not surprised in the least about his offering permission. He likes attention in any form. And oh, Remi...he's gonna get calls from all over I'm sure....with one from his 'mom' this morning.... ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  4. You do realize that neither he, hottamally, nor skybytch work there anymore...who you gonna call? ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  5. Heh...heh...heh.... Say it isn't so, son!! Thought I always taught you to be neat and tidy!! And you're having knee surgery next week.....saving the doctors a step in their prep?? ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  6. Mouth is back in CA Oh, the FUN we're going to have skybytch goes away! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  7. Damn!! Not SBS!!!! EEEEKKKKK!!!! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  8. Thanks JP! That's what I get for doing a search on dz.com... I'll be there to watch the skimmers and the swimmers!! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  9. I'll be there, Lisa....but will be running from south to north all day long until sunset! I'll definitely fly pro bono video for you if I get a break...and most definitely see you at the bar when the green light goes on! Damn....so why is it that you have to go??!! (tears welling up right now...)... ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  10. The only other 'grandma house dweller' that comes to mind it Aaron! But, as far as I know, he's not a registered user of dz.com....nor is he that young. Yeah, I think it's Viking as well... ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  11. The Perris pond is 180' x 180' and 3'-4' deep in the center grading up to 0 at the edge (quote from jdhill)... Lake....who's up for a swim! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  12. Wings aid alot in: 1) riding the burble over a 4-way team and not falling into them (lets you get great framing over the subject too) 2) maintaining your own air space on leading exits with a 4-way team. Without them you have to work ALOT harder not to hit the team on the hill (with either steep or flat formations coming out of the plane). 3) giving you range with lighter tandem subjects...like you mentioned. Also, with wings you can hang on them and get the face of that tandem that just won't look up at the camera...they're infatuated with the ground for some reason! 4) giving you much more range in the creative end of cameraflying. When you get the chance to snap some shots from all angles of a subject (whether it be larger groups or individuals). 5) allowing you to back fly under a formation (see Brad Hood's picture of the women's world record! :^) ) The list goes on. Freefly suits are cool...and I know some flyers who can use them in most situations....but when the wings are needed they put them on as well... Me...I use wings AND lead. Lets me keep up with the fast and furious 4-ways...and gives me the edge to fly close and personal. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  13. ok...here's another one. This TM loves to work out! He loves his biceps so much that he poses,then kisses his flexed arm in freefall....the returns to the video camera gives it a cheezy grin and thumbs up! Cracks me up every time! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  14. Wow! So sorry, Martin! I loved the WRX so much when I test drove it, but -knew- it'd get me in trouble with it's fast pick up speed. This sucks, big time! Hope you get your baby back in one piece!! They sure know quality when they see it, huh... ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  15. So, we know that skydivers love to have crazy fun in the air...it's how we let out our steam from the week of work, right? Well, how about our beloved 'taxi' drivers who work all week long? What pictures do you have on tap of how wild and crazy those TM's get for the video? Here's a fun one I got this past weekend for starters... Wind Guppy? ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

  18. Say, shouldn't these new foreign language specialist moderators have another special color, other than green? Say....orange or some other wonderful distinctive color like that? ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  19. Come on over to the Perris Wind Tunnel when it opens in October! Get some hours in before you take to the skies! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
