  1. Shut up, or I'll bitch slap you again!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  2. Oh. Thanks. I'll try to keep it straight. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  3. I jumped at 5 different dropzones by the time I had 15 jumps. I seemed to have turned out okay. Just make sure the gear is not dramatically different. BOC. Throw out. Etc. You don't want to switch back and forth with deployment techniques or emergency proceedures. Have a blast, and maybe I'll see you around. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  4. I would have to say you have a point there Shane. Also, I'm confused because I thought that Miles Dasher was the best BASE jumper in the world. But your profile says you are. Please help me understand. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  5. Two of the questions I like to review with every student before we skydive are: What will you do if you see me pull? Who is ultimately responsible for your life on this skydive? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  6. Can you fill in your profile or give up a little info about yourself? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  7. Nor Cal represent! 3 outa 4 ain't bad! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  8. I'm on a 20 minute call. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  9. My customer feedback is overwhelmingly positive on both the Pilot and the Icon. The Pilot in particular has quickly become my best selling canopy. I have many customers who order the Pilot as a first canopy. I also have quite a few sales for jumpers in the 500 - 1500 jumps range. The resale value has also been very positive. Making downsing (when and if the time comes) a bit less painfull to the old wallet. If you have any detailed or specific questions, feel free to PM me. I seem to be here quite a bit. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  10. Keith, How did your friend make it through his super dome experience? Mdrejhon, We'll keep our fingers crossed for you and your buddy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  11. For my bigger customers, I've had great sucess with Tony Suits. Their web site offers great descriptions on which suits are appropriate for you body type. Feel free to PM me with any specific questions that might come up. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  12. Sorry. Carnivours get the Tri Tip dinner. I can only buy food for and cook so much. Once I get the vegitarians taken care of, if there are any left overs.... ..... oh who am I kidding. Leftovers and skydivers are not two words you ever hear together! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  13. LOL. Well. I guess. But customer saticfaction seems much more valuable than a quick order. You will likely be buying many more rigs in the years to come. I think Sun Path is aware of that. Also if they tell you it wouldn't fit, just to get you to buy a new rig, they risk you switching to another brand. If you are really paranoid, you can call and just ask for a sizing sheet to be faxed to you. IMHO, your 150 will be a comfortable fit. But I always check with the manufacturer's spec sheets before making recommendations. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  14. Maybe you could consider renting an RV from El Monte RVs. Then you might be able to park on the DZ. Talk to Ray first. There is a Nor Cal skydivers group on Yahoo as well. You can check in to see if anyone has any other accomodations. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  15. Yes. A couple of times. Once off a bridge. Then I turned around and saw a picture of Seth Blake taped to the steel at the exit point..... ....that was a very nice jump. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  16. Why would a manufacturer be biased as to what size canopies fit into various sized containers? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  17. But of course. And kids too. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  18. Bay Area Skydiving is in Byron California. About 1 hour east of San Francisco. We would love to have you there! I'll even throw some mesquite on the BBQ! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  19. We found a local grower that grows organic veggies, and I've been so spoiled the past few weeks, eating fresh picked organic vegetables. So I'll cook something yummy on Saturday for the few true veggies out there. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  20. That is smack in the middle of the Byron Boogie, or I would let you rent our RV. You did say Sept, right? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  21. She was overwhelmed by emotion. What the hell? Senseless bantering? If you choose not to wear your heart on your sleeve, then good for you. But why critisize someone for showing her emotions? She gave a million dollars to the effort, and in her mind, it seemed irrellevant, because it was a drop in the bucket. Many people in this country are feeling useless, emotional, etc. She happens to be in the spotlight. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  22. But you weren't born in '66. Did I mention, my initials are BAD. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  23. Well? If you are triple extra large and coming to the Byron Boogie, please PM me. I am on the fence if I should order XXXL T-shirts or not. I have plenty of XXLs. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  24. I'm having fun (where is the devil icon?) putting the goodie bags together. Also, if you are a vegitarian, or know a vegitarian that is coming, please contact me. I'll be making a "special" dinner on Saturday night for the high maintenance.....um, I mean...... guest with special needs. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
  25. Were they both packed by the same person? Any other variables that could be the same? Stored in the same location? Stored packed or not packed? Last time each was jumped? Of course it could be coincidence. Parachutes sometimes do strange things. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
