  3. FIFY I was jumping a piglet when I got my SCR The shadow-box idea is excellent. Get a big enough one for future awards and such. Or a really nice album.
  4. Your 100% right when I saw it on my smart phone I must have seen the wrong price. Thought it was only $100. My bad. Sounds to me like your “smart phone” is not all that smart. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

  13. Those aren’t boots; they are the boxes mine came in. A petite size 9.
  14. They can really raise the pucker factor. Use the right gear and like Twardo said, run the bowl coming in. They can look really small from the air. Scary but fun. Sparky http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/pp55/mjosparky/Skydiving/rosebowl.jpg My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  15. You might try putting the patch and the card in a shadow box type picture frame. It looks pretty good. Back in the day we would wear them on our jumpsuits but they get trashed after a while. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  16. The last couple of years I was jumping I made around 100 jumps with over 100 jumpers. It gets to unwieldy to gather names. What I would do is put down how the exit went, how it was flying and how many out. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  17. I guess you have never had a ProTrack or Neptune go belly up on you. I can name maybe a dozen friends that had it happen to them. In the blink of an eye there go 1500 jumps. But it’s your call. I wouldn’t trade anything for my log books. I can look up what day I jumped at Santa Nella or Corning 2 drop zones most have never heard of. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  18. You can usually arrange for anything if you through enough money at it. Just make sure the balloon pilot understands what happens when jumpers use his basket for jumping. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  19. Not to worry. He has the jumps and he’s done the time. And you can be assured that he has been reading posts longer then you have been jumping. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  20. If that is your attitude towards a legitimate question, then i ask you to please refrain from posting. Ask away, at least he addressed the OP original question. If his response ruffled your feathers go read a book. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  21. How in the hell did you get your legs to do than? Heel fast kid, you have some things to pass on to others. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  22. I wonder how many people noticed the Abdias Jump boots he is wearing. Came in 3 colors. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  23. Jim Hickey started after 60, he's got at least 3500 jumps...has even been BASEJumping and wingwalking. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eYJH3bRnUg I'm looking forward to Pat Morehead's 80 jumps on his 80th birthday next month Douglas, That is great, no moss growing on that old boy.
