  1. Holy Crap, they still have that show?!?!! I remember it was the thing to watch in the late 80's and early 90's when I was home sick from school - Huh, I learned something new today!!
  2. Hmmmm, Our DZ doesn't have a DZO, but Every member of the board is a regular jumper!!
  3. I think that they have also shot themselves in the foot by not offering a 2-pin system. =========Shaun ==========
  4. Last I knew, Para-Service Had a few hornets on the shelf the were trying to move out as specials, get ahold of them before it's too late!!! =========Shaun ==========

    Racer 2K3

    I ordered my New Racer 2K3 this January and have been jumping it Since February. I ordered a completely custom rig with all the options, and still had it on my doorstep in less than 4 weeks. If a person looks at the Order form, they will see that the Racer incorporates a larger number of options available on their rig... Jump Shack worked with me on a personal level to build me a rig that best suited my personal needs and wants... The first thing I noticed about my Racer 2K3 was it's unique fit with the NOS (Narrow over the Shoulder) style yoke. That along with the articulated harness has made this by far the most comfortable rig I have ever tried on. Jump Shack has a reputation for producing the most comfortable fitting rig on the market, and this was one of my considerations when I made the investment in a New Harness container - From the feel of my rig, I can say that Racer 2K3 has lived up to it's reputation and to my expectations. As a Skydiver, I may spend up to 8 hours a day with a rig over my shoulder, Don't cut yourself short and buy something with second rate comfort!! The Main Container is rather unique when Compared to some other rigs - It is very easy to close my container and have it look neat. The "walrus Teeth" Tuck Tabs keep the main pin protected very tightly and is Unquestionable Freefly Friendly. As for the reserve pins, well, How can you possibly get better protection then having them on the jumpers back??!?! Top of the line... One of the most striking features of the New 2K3 is it's style of tuck-tabs o the riser covers. I have Yet to see a rig with more secure riser covers. Each tucktab folds across the rise as do most other designs, and then another piece of material folds on top of that to give the riser cover a clean, simple look. I anybody is interested, give me a PM and I will send you a few photographs I have of the tucktabs. In conclusion, I want to encourage those unfamiliar with this system to take a look at it and put it into consideration. Jump Shack has a tremendous reputation for quality and comfort - take a look at the New Racer 2K3, I gurantee you that you will not be disappointed!

    Looks like some flying saucers flew on by and left exhause trails.... Proof that UFO's do exist!! =========Shaun ==========
  8. Hmm, I think we have now proven that Chinese food really is better for you. I hope they Never Integrate this with My Universities Parking control Officers. I think I'm on the most wanted list for deliquent (*ahem*unPaid*) parking citations. I'm the good guy in this case, they are a bunch of crazies trying to make up for our crappy budget... =========Shaun ==========
  9. Agreed. Well, I agree that there is no "good guys" in this situation. I've tried to follow the recent history and the history of Israel from 1948 to present, I don't see how either side can justify all of their actions. As for the holy land - Seems that it has been prophesied that when The Lord wants a people to take control of it, he provides a way. I don't think there is a path yet.... =========Shaun ==========
  10. I've never been in Debt that I can't pay off Either Immediatly of within two pay periods (one month). Just use your head, and NEVER take it shopping!! =========Shaun ==========
  11. Oh I know exactly where you are coming from. It's been a long year - I know. The end of your second semester is coming up, finals are approaching and You're probably just running out of steam. Stick through it Alanab!!!! You've only got a a couple more weeks to go - Don't be afraid to vent to anybody who will listen and try to keep your chin up!!!
  12. I'm pretty good with numbers, but I'm terrible at spelling and writing. =========Shaun ==========
  13. Right now I'm working as a Coach, and I'll be attending a course for my I here in about three weeks - so Please note my very limited experience in my response.... When I ask an Instructor (and I make a point to ask everyone I can...) how they size up a student, I always get a different answer. Some have simple techniques to measure and classify, some use their own system of stereotypes, and some use their intuitions. My personal experiences lend me to believe that those who think that they are gifted in Making Judgements in A skydiver's character usually have a short-sided outlook and are often Too Judgemental. Those that I do know (and I can only count two, in my area...) and I believe to have exceptional judgement of character are able to sculpt their teaching techniques to be most efficient for that one particular learner. I think it's absolutly amazing to watch. In short, if you think you know it, you don't. If you strive and make an effort to connect with each student, then you have a good chance... Pardon my spelling and grammatical errors... =========Shaun ==========
  14. I would imagine that a Double Decker Barge would be inherrantly unstable in the first place...... =========Shaun ==========
  15. AGREED!!! (Well, Except for the Part about the Baptists.... ) =========Shaun ==========
  16. Mr. Racer's dream rig is an Infinity!??! Your name is Misleading!!! =========Shaun ==========
  17. Seeing the recent trend of Self-Defense Classes and increase in sales for mini Pepper sprays makes me think that this is a VERY common fear... =========Shaun ==========
  18. **Sigh** What are we going to do with you, bytch? =========Shaun ==========
  19. Stupid polls have a purpose. Here on DZ.com a "Stupid" poll usually leads to discussion between members and helps us get to know one another and build trust. I think I took this question WAAAY to seriously... =========Shaun ==========
  20. It really is aggrivating that One Skydiver can do that to another..... For what it matters, you are the good girl in this whole Good Vs. Evil battle here. All of our vibes are with YOU...

    Cold Stone

    There is this one Resturant in Ogden Utah (I'm sure Some of you Utah DZ.comers know if it) on 26th and Harrison that serves Both Licorice Ice Cream and Real Root Beer Ice Cream...... Farr's Ice Cream is the name, I think... Whenever I'm in town I make it a goal to go there everynight and try to get a few quarts of it back to Kansas without it melting. =========Shaun ==========
  22. Sounds like a real coward has you worked up. What kind of a person would threaten you like that than leave before you could find out who it was. She was probably scared, or else why would she have left before you exited the stall??!? My advice is this - If she got worked up that fast over whatever was up her butt, then she'll probably drop it just as fast. She doesn't want you to know who she is, she is not likely to confront you to your face. Remember, safety in numbers. I'm sure there are plenty of handsome men at the DZ that would be thrilled to walk a lady like you to your car.... =========Shaun ==========
  23. Geeze, you'd better go across the street and get yourself a ticket or two, or you'll get audited..... =========Shaun ==========
  24. Exactly 28.4 miles from my driveway to the parking area of Kansas State University Parachute Club. I didn't measure it to the tenth of a mile, but Skydive Kansas is 75 miles from my doorstep or 88 miles another way, and the 88 mile drive is always faster... =========Shaun ==========
