Don't buy food products there! After a maggot experience, I learned a lot about the warehousing of food items. YUCK! Don't buy food products there! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

I know! I know! Buy one of each! Sorry not too helpful, I know. There are truely so many wonderful canopies to choose from right now. A skydivers dream. The four that have been discussed here are all awesome and appropriate canopies. If becoming a more aggressive pilot is what you are after, I would have to lean toward the Sabre2. For ease of front riser pressure and grace in and out of the riser turn. Next consider price and availability. Who has what in stock? Colors? They are all close enough in price that it shouldn't be too much of a deciding factor. Next consider resale value. It's cool to be the only guy on your block with a particular canopy, but it might now be so cool at resale time. Take a look at your local market. See what it popular in your area. As, I said, they are all good choices. Have a fun summer! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

GAWD DAMMIT Stearman!!!!!!! I am NOT going to give up the benefit of having an "in" for good wine in the Bay Area without a fight. Just PM me, Call me toll free (888-298-8886) or e-mail bonnie@gravitygear.com. I will let you demo my shit for free, and I will teach you how to fly fast and furious! But I WILL NOT sit by and watch you die because you think the parachute makes the pilot! It's the Pilot that makes the parachute, my friend. And if you want to learn to fly like a bad ass, we can take you there. But if you stick a femor or suffer major internal trama before you give yourself the chance to get there, you are going to really piss me off! Now. Come talk to Mamma! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

We also carry a bunch of spare parts in the store. Screws, the tiny springs and the covers. L & B Rock! Their support for their dealers and customer is supreme! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

A d-bag could be a cool book cover too! I just did Spring Cleaning in the store, so PM me if your options #1, #2 or #3 don't pan out! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

July 3 - 11th. Mark your calandar now so you don't miss out on this unique opportunity. Various "Missions" are being plotted and planned as we speak. They will involve Helicoptors and Float Planes, and jumping into secluded areas for private beach parties and rendezvous’! Each mission will be affordable and unlike anything you can experience at a "Boogie". So if you want to do something a little different this summer mark your calandar for "Mission Insatiable" and stay tuned for more details as they are cleared for release! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

It looks like they have two in stock. You can order it off the web from Aerodyne-Int.com or contact your favorite Aerodyne Dealer to place your order. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

....this one time....at band camp... okay, this one time at Skydance, this lady landed on a rabbit in the high grass. She broke it's back, and it had to be "finished". She felt aweful, and to ease her pain, we started calling her "Bunny Killer" Sad but true. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

Anti-Depresants are quite common these day. HOWEVER! You won't know the true state of mind of your particular student. If it was my student, I would request a note from his doctor stating he is mentally fit to skydive. Treat it just like any other ailment. And of course keep it confidential. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

F&$%^CK anyone got a trailer, for cheap? DO IT NOW! Then when you get fired you can work at Gravity Gear for $8/hr + room and board in an RV with no toilet. Well it has one, but you can't use it. Oh, yeah, and discounts on gear too! DO IT NOW! What? Suddenly your job doesn't sound too bad? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

Damn! You must be jumping at the wrong DZ. We love fresh meat, uh, I mean younger skydivers at Byron! Youthfull energy is what keeps the place rockin'! In case you are wondering, I'm not young. Just a dirty old lady! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

AND MICHELE ROCKS TOO!!!!!!!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

17, but three were night jumps. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

Can we pick: FLYnBUG? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

Skydiving is soooooo much the journey and not the destination. Each and evey mile stone and progression infused with adrenaline and celebrated with beers at sunset under a blood red sky with friends you harldy know but can totally relate to! They years pass all to fast. I've blown through 10 already. 10 unbelievable, non-regratabel, fast-passed, no-holds-barred years. So, dude! Sit back, don't relax and enjoy the flight! Enjoy each and every bit of your journey. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

How come the girls have no lips? And the boys have no.... ...oh wait... ....I think I see them now. WOW. Small. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

I think this issue has been addressed. But it is ALWAYS important to report this information back to the manufacturer. That is how we continue to improve gear and safety. But in the end, you also have to realize that it is a quick release system. So there is a point where a riser strike may have been a potential entanglement, and your helmet did it's job. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

Why not buy an existing one and revamp it? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

How far from Byron? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

5 miles, 5 minutes. Yeah me! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

What he said! When I looked down to get the first glimpse of my baby Jett, she had just her head and one entire arm out. (like a rock star) What a face! These moment last a lifetime. No camera necessary.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

That's funny! I use ice to keep me awake while on long road trips too! Only I don't chew it! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

Have you seen my nephew. 'Cause he is still over there, and they won't let him come home, and he's already been blown up once and lost most of his hearing, and I MISS HIM! And he needs to do AFF. Ooops. Sorry. Welcome home! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

I disagree. Stop and DON'T think for a minute. Clear your head and start fresh.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

So I suppose if you carry that argument further you will conclude that if one jumps long enough, one would oneself inevitably bounce? That is statistics 101. If a million monkeys jump up and down on the keyboards of a million typewriters long enough, they will eventually compose the complete works of Shakespeare (Jonathan Swift, I think. From Guilliver's Travels) Every one of us can die skydiving. We can also die choking on a pretzel. There is a label on my harness that states that skydiving is a hazardous activity. I think people are informed enough of the risks. A mature adult does not need to fear in order to appreciate risk, and I think that statements like the one of yours I quoted is calculated to scare others. Ron, plenty of people here stress the need for ongoing training on a regular basis. Methods differ. I think trying to scare people is the wrong way to go about it. BUT in all your posts I have read so far, I have yet to come across a single instance of you changing your mind about something. I'm withdrawing from this argument. So I guess your answer was, "No". No one on your inner circle of freinds has gone in. Once you take that trip, it affects you for life. Most of us don't stop jumping. But the wheels in the head keep turning. Mortals trying to make sense out of mortality. 1998 was a VERY bad year. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
