  1. Just curious. I visited some friends this past weekend in Albany, NY and went past Duanesburg Skydiving. My friends house was only about 20 minutes from them. Thought maybe the next time I visited I would swing over and check the place out. I was under the impression that it was a small club that didn't really have a regular jumper crowd. But I have never really heard much else, so I could be wrong. I checked out the site, but it more for tandem students and doesn't really go into anything else. So, would it be worth it for me to stop by if I am looking to get a few freefly/swoop loads in? Does anyone jump there or know about it? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!
  2. One of my ALL TIME favorite movies!! Our team site makes references to Spinal Tap on the front page and the "About Us" page.
  3. I figured you would have liked it, Peter. I know you are a Linkin Park fan. They won ME over!
  4. Thank you! US Army 1992-1995 11B1P 3/75th Ranger Regiment B Co. M60 team
  5. Really? Sucked? Wow. And I wasn't smoking crack or anything last night.
  6. Anyone else catch the MTV performance with Linkin Park and Jay-Z? I thought it was friggin' awesome! And I actually don't like Jay-Z at all. But the two together were sweet!
  7. I appreciate this very much! It is rare that someone wishes me a Happy Veteran's Day. Thank you for your post!
  8. Sweet! Could you PM me your numba again? I lost it when I got a new phone. Maybe we can make jumpy together!
  9. I am almost always under canopy by about 3,200 feet or so. That is my target. Once in a great while I may get down around 2,900, but I don't like it. I have had a cutaway that was due to severe line-twists that ate up about 1,000 feet and then opened my reserve in line twists. I deployed at 3,500, cutaway at 2,500 and was out of the reserve line-twists by 2,000. I had plenty of time to look at my airspace, see where my gear was landing, fly to the dz and land safely. Do the math if I woould have waited to pull at 2,000 ft. Granted, I was jumping a Velocity 96, but there are plenty of scenerios under any parachute that could have an outcome like that. You can pull a bit higher and USE the altitude. But if you pull lower, you can never get that altitude back. And not having that extra 1,000 feet one day might really bite you in the ass.
  10. Yeah, you landed and then got this look on your face that was like, "Ah shit, that friggin' hurt!"
  11. She will have to answer the questions for you. I am not sure. All I saw was her landing.
  12. She was BASE jumping at Bridge Day. Anyone else catch it? Way to go Liz!
  13. Also an Eagles fan. Oh well, if we have to lose a game, I guess I don't mind it being to the Steelers. They DO look good.
  14. Yepper. I would have to agree with the "looking all hot" comment!
  15. Why don't you pick up Mr. Wrongway and keep heading east and south and come out to play with me???!!
  16. Awwww! Thanks Kristi! I totally missed that pic the first time through. I am glad you pointed it out! Look at what a lucky guy I am in that shot!!
  17. Couldn't agree with you more!
  18. I know you love me Mel. I was just playin'. You don't have to say anything for me to know that. You have always been there for me and made it clear that you care. Thank for my very own post though!
  19. I didn't even get mentioned. It was awesome seeing you and J again!
