  1. Right. I think the Boogie will fall right around a year from the last Boogie. In fact, I think it is actually over a year since the last one. I remember my sister got mad at me last year becasue I missed her B-day becasue I was at the Boogie. Her Birthday is the 25th of May and the Boogie doesn't start until after the 25th this year. More then 365 days from registration. So have your shit ready. Dom
  2. *Note to school staff*..... Watch out for that Lou Diamond fella he may be trouble. Dom
  3. Darcy makes a good point. I have seen people take hours to get through the process at Perris. It's becasue they don't have there shit together when they get here and then all they do is complain. We will check everything. Have your stuff and it goes real quick. Come with an uncurrent log book and your reserve out of date and you aren't jumping. Check your reserve dates!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had a friend show up from Wa. State and had him in the air in 15 minutes. He had all his stuff in order and no worries. He didn't even have gear and we got him in the air that quick. Dom

  6. Nice pic. Ain't they pretty!?!?! Dom
  7. This is where these threads have been getting messed up. This is not about student gear. This is about rental gear for upjumpers. Sutdents are taken care of for the very reasons you stated. An upjumper is different. They are responsible for themselves at this point. Weather they have 30 or 3000 jumps. You chop it you lose it you bought it. You guys need to understand that gear stores don't make a bunch of profit off of rental gear if any. The money that is gained from rental goes to buy new euipment, to pay for repacks, to pay for repairs, to buy those new Cypres when the old ones are out of date. Do you realize that everytime a reserve is used that it takes away about 20% of it's value? They don't give big discounts for new rental gear to DZ's and Dealers. You guys have no idea how hard it is to make money selling gear. The rental gear is a huge expense for a dealer. That is why most place only have student gear for you to rent, if you lose their gear they are losing tons of money. Now they can't get all their students up in the air. It would be smarter for them to not even rent the gear. Then where would people be? Not jumping that's where. Sq1 has a huge fleet of demo canopies. We don't make money off of them. We do it so people can plan and simple try out different gear before they buy it. If they are in our demo program it only costs them pennies on the day to jump all the gear sas much as they want everyday! Even f that turns into the sale of a complete rig it doesn't come close to buying a new main if someone loses one and tries to not pay for it. Think about it people. Dom
  8. Your registration form is in your email Rosa. Dom
  9. I talked to Fritz this weekend and he is willing to do some coaching if you guys want him. It will be an addtional charge though. Sorry. I just can't work their fee into the 125.00 price. Let me know how big a group of freeflyers you have and I will set it all up for you. Make payment for the time using the forms I send you and I will let you now how to pay for the coaching. Dom
  10. Hadn't seen one of those yet. I have a Suunto Vector watch and it works great! I to never look at it in freefall but it works great under canopy and in the plane. You really have to make sure you zero it out before every jump though. Dom
  11. QuoteI have acesses to lots of tunnel time at Perris. If you guys are coming for the DZ.com Boogie and are interested in putting together groups let me know. $125.00 for 10 minute blocks with one of the Performance Plus Coaches (Dan B.C., Nina Kubler, Pat McGowan, Andy Delk, Chritsy Frikken just to name a few). The ten minutes includes the coaching. I would like to get at least two groups going. One for the more experienced tunnel rat (2 to 4 ways) and one for the less experienced folks (one on one coaching and maybe 3 ways) It will be limited to 6 people per hour session and 2 or 3 coaches. Might make exceptions for tose on a real tight budget. IF we keep it to 6 per session it seems to work out the best. Pm me for details. For those of you that haven't been in the tunnel before I will explain how it works and how you can actually get a lot more time then just 10 minutes for the 125.00. Compare the prices to their normal list prices of 10 min for 165.00 15 min for 220.00 30 min for 370.00 60 min for 725.00 That doesn't even cover coaching. Dom
