  1. This is my current philosophy. Except with an ad lib on the end of your statement, Weegegirl: "..., get on a load, and just enjoy your F*@#IN life before it passes you by." Now I just have to install that revolving door (ok, that is a joke...no really it is...really really really).
  2. Pro Swoop Tour Check out the schedule here. Depending on time/day of arrival, I may be able to do it. Otherwise, check with someone else from XKeys.
  3. I don't know but I sure don't want to jump there. The ground keeps moving; it would be a hard place to swoop into.
  4. Take your pic of one of these!!!
  5. From XKeys you can see Phili, then Atlantic City, then Phili, then Atlantic City, then.... Well Tony, you get the point. You should stop in if you're driving near us anyway. We've got a kick-ass DZ!!!
  6. In the FUTURE it is going to be cool. I always thought it would be great to get those things that Bugs Bunny used to compete with Marvin the Martian. You remember!!! It was a small round platform - enough for one person to stand on. And it had a lever. You push down on the lever until 15,000 ft, base jump, then freefly, then open, and land. We don't need no stinkin fossil fuels. Marvin
  7. I did this with no problems. AND YES, it does help with the stability of the camera on your head. Just mark where it would be and drill a few holes to line it up. Very easy thing to do.
  8. Many people would like to see you try out-doing the smile you've already got on here. I would put you to the challenge in a second.
  9. Speaking of AVATARS... Sure...Adjust your avatar in a 90-degree turn to the right. This way, it makes you look like your swooping. I like that trick dude! LOL by the way, I thought we agreed on "JELLIES" "Payback" really is a bitch, huh???
  10. How many swoops did you say that you had?
  11. Thanks Christie, you're cute. If Julio was in the room right now, I would make fun of you for using the word "fudge"; but he isn't, so I will not. Miss you guys.
  12. Thanks, but my face is over-rated in this pic - I really only smile as a result of jumping. LOL The next one is going to be my bare-butt in freefall (ok, maybe spandex). Dare me?
  13. Ok, so I've bumped into a few of you guys/gals lately around the DZ (not dot com). It has come to my attention that I'm known as the dude who is "ALWAYS" changing avatars. Is changing an avatar (often) considered "bad practice" on our beloved digital DZ?
  14. SSSSSSssssiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiicccccckkkkkkk!!!!!!!!! Here is what I think is crazy about this... Five years ago, the capacity for such a record was hardly conceivable. I remember friends returning from Perris with the pride of flying a 20-way (NON-DOCKED) dive. And all of the people on the jump were rock-solid pro's - the ones that we recognize from the mags and movies. I only know of (or have heard the names of) half of the people on this record. I'm truly thankful for the people in the sport who have dedicated their time and passion to the development of freeflying (famous or not). Freeflying is a gift that is deserving of the progression we are seeing and you gals/guys are making it happen. Thanks to everyone on these dives for making history for us!!!! (...and maybe I'll see you at the 50-way. ...perhaps next year... )
  15. I think it is safe to say that my day was a MALFUNCTION today... I would have chopped it if my life was in danger. Dammit!
  16. Ask Wrongway if I can bite this off of him and use it elsewhere? I like it!
  17. Heh...careful what we say. This person may not have liked being called a 'soldier' (assuming from your title that we've lost a Marine). I can't read the page either because of the filtering. Please post some info. Semper Fi.
  18. Hey QUADE!!! That looks great. Thanks for the assist. -DC
  19. It is with deepest sympathy that my heart goes out to Paul's family. Paul and I only met about two or three weeks ago. We lost a hero and great mentor today. He'll be missed.
  20. Holy SHIT Max! That is BAD-ASS!!!!!!!!!! PICs need to start coming in on this. Incredible!!! Wow!! Can't imagine how that must have felt in the sky...ok, maybe I can a little, but wow...wOw....WOW!!!
  21. I can send it in a different format if needed. However, it is doubtful that my PC (piece of crap from work) is capable of converting to illustrator format. I always thought that this symbol would look good in 3d because the 'Z' overlaps at the curves. It has the potential to make a nice 'commin-at-you' affect. Thanks Quade, you rock!
  22. The first one is nice and colorful, but oooh I really like the PVS one. VERY 3D looking!!!! Please see what you can do with this one.
  23. If you only knew how closely this resembles my own job description. All except for the alcohol part - as many of you already know, it just isn't my poison.
