  1. Maybe it has something to do with the 8 way team going away last year. Sometimes when soliders mess up the chain of command goes down with them. Dom
  2. I love the torture people put themselves through when they get their first rig. At least I didn't have nightmares, cause that is what I would call what you had. Dom
  3. We get the stuff out as fast as we get it, but don't be surprised one day if it doesn't happen that quickly. It is really frustrating for the customer and us when we don't have stuff in stock. It would kill our mothers if they heard the way JP and I cuss at the computer when we don't have the stuff we have ordered. Nothing worse then to have to tell the customer that the item they ordered 3 weeks ago and we back ordered 2 weeks before that isn't here yet. So we understand how you guys feel when that stuff happens because it is happening to us at the exact same time. The thing that makes it worse is that the customer gets upset at us and most of the time we really don't want to talk bad about the manufacture of an item. So we just have to take the heat and try and make the customer happy. It is harder then it sounds some times to be able to get something out to you guys in a timely fashion. So to every person that has ever had to wait for your stuff from SQ 1.......... Sorry!
  4. **sniff sniff** He is growing up and learning so much.... **sniff sniff** If only you had bought an Infinity last year I would say you are one of my favorite customers. Dom
  5. Only believe half of what you see and none of what you hear! Dom
  6. A few things. First, I did receive your order. I sent you an email that was kicked back to me a few times. Regarding your request about duties and putting a lower amount on the shipping bill. We don't do that. Also, we are out of stock on one of the items you order and it is still not here. I can send you what you I have with out the one DVD but then you will have to pay shipping twice amd more dities when it somes in by itself. Try Pm'ing me here at DZ.com. Dom
  7. Or better yet, take out the "I think this will work and call 520 466-2655 and ask Brend what will fit in that container. Didn't see the last part of your post. Dom
  8. Dave did you get different material on the suit with booties. Booties actually cause more drag and can slow you down. That is why when flying in the base of a Big Way you will see a lot of folks take their Booties off to help keep the fall rate up. This is a tip form Tony Domenico and Dan B.C. If you didn't change the material on your new suit and you are falling faster. It may be from a few different things. It may fit you better allowing you to arch more therby increasing your fall rate. Even though they do many things for us, booties = more drag = slower fall rate. Dom
  9. Which came first? The chicken or the egg? Dom
  10. People hate to check my pin on the plane because my Infinity tuck tab is so hard to open. I have only had it come open once in freefall and that was after eating most of the back side of the door on a 10 way exit. OUCH!!!! I got hit from the right side and sandwiched between the back of the door and another jumper. Dom
  11. Yes it did. Stayed pretty true, but chagned none the less. Big parts of the books that aren't even in the movies. I have to admit I was very disappointed at the end of Return of the King. In the book, the Hobbits go home and find their home has been taken over by Worm Tongue, people have Hobbits have been killed and some have become almost evil. They have to kick a little as to restore things to normal. Yes, I am a LOTR geek. I have read the books 5 times. Twice as a kid and one time before each movie came out. Dom
  12. It will loosen up a bit over time. Get a power tool! I'll just sit in the door of SQ1 in the AC and smile realy big while you are out there sweating in the sun! Opinions are like a--holes. People will dispute rsl's for a long time. To have on or not to have one. There are good arguments from both sides. Go with what makes you feel comfortable and learn the pro's and con's of having one. That way no surprises. For the record I don't use one. Dom
  13. What happened to everyone on the DZ getting together at the end of the day and doing a big way. Who cares if it's a little Zooish. I am invisioning all kinds of havock What happened to pick up formation loads? seeing more havock What happened to hanging out around the bonfire? Ask Mr. Anderson What happened to just having fun once and a while, blowing off training, or coaching, or whatever? It costs to much What happened to smiling in freefall? Full faces What happened to kiss passes, Herpes big rounds, still around hokey pokey dives, that's what it's all about and a general enjoyment of the moment? If someone isn't feeling that they don't really like skydiving. Isn't that what it's about. Enjoying that moment when you close that vertical perfectly and reliving it over again in your mind, or a really nice landing, being a part of a completed 40 way and turning some nice points! Dom
  14. Get back to wrok and give me a free helmet for the "I found my cat Boogie" This weekend. I will lose him again so keep my measurments! Dom
  15. WEll? I know your rig is here. I know the reserve is packed up. I am pretty sure you are going to the dz today. To bad you don't have a main yet. What do ya think? I thought it looked really good! Dom
  16. You have issues my man.........ISSUES! Dom
  17. I didn't look at all the posts in this thread, but in case nobody mentioned it. Remeber that by adding weight you are also changing you wing loading. A friend of mine wears something like a 5th of her body weight in lead on every jump. So think about that if you only way 100 pounds or so. It can really make a difference. Dom
  18. I didn't say nothing. Kinda what I wanted to hear. If the rig isn't bulit for ya. It is gonna cause problems like that. Dom
  19. Explain that. Canopy opens nice and soft so how do you get the brusies? Once again I have some really expensive penicls to sell ya. That is not true in so many things in life. Just because something costs more does not make it the best. Would you be interested in $20.00 dollar pull uo cords. I will put them in a .10 case paint a cool logo on it and they will be better because they are more expenisive. That is your logic. Doesn't fly with me. Dom
  20. Joe, your rig is sitting on my lap right now! It just got here last night. Really it is. It looks really nice too. It will be over at the DZ store later today. Dom
  21. I bet Quade has all of the above if ya ask him. Dom
  22. Phree I just read that and it still seems wierd to me that those where all at the same DZ. I wonder maybe the same rigger and the same turn from the canopies? Did they ever figure this problem out? I wonder if it was a rigger issue there? What did PISA say about it? Dom
