  1. Pammi...I guess that I was just thinking that you would just go and get under canopy. I guess you have less time for a good body position, but still would just right under canopy. Oh well....I guess that I'll find out when I get up there. Still can't figure out where we are going to train! bluez NEW AND IMPROVED!!! http://home.woh.rr.com/brandonandlaura/
  2. I am wondering about this new requirement for the A license. I think it is a proficiency card or something. Is this something new? And what does this mean for training and requirements?? I am going to be getting my license this summer and am wondering what I'll be going through! blue skyz NEW AND IMPROVED!!! http://home.woh.rr.com/brandonandlaura/
  3. My wife and I are going to do AFF or tandem progression this summer and cannot decide which place would be the best. It is pretty much between these two places, but cannot decide. If anyone has any info on either or any suggestions, please let me know! It would be AFF at Richmond or tandem progression at Cleveland (since we already have one tandem). Anyway, all help is appreciated!! (AS ALWAYS!)
  4. Hey Pammi...she finally made an account for this, but hasn't used it yet. Maybe I can get her on here and start getting to know all of these wonderful people!
  5. Hey Jessica...I am going to do AFF this summer with my wife and am wondering about the hop-n-pop. Is it really that hard to get yourself to do? And what is the scary part about it, really?? Congrats!!!
  6. I would love to see this! Let me know if you get it somewhere!! blues NEW AND IMPROVED!!! http://home.woh.rr.com/brandonandlaura/
  7. I don't know Merrick. We've been married about the same amount of time, and I'm not sure that it's still a dream/fantasy.
  8. Hey fellow .comers. Just wondering who is all going to Bridge Day in WV and where are you coming from? Yooper and I might end up heading down there together. He lives in Upper MI and I live halfway down in Ohio, which would make a good stop for him after 10 hrs or so of driving. Anyway, just wondering if anyone else is headed through this way. I am offering up my place to stay overnight on the way down and on the way back to break up your drive. FYI, I live about 2 miles from I-75 in Lima (exits 125 and 127). I am going to get a ride with someone to go down and just be a spectator. Can't wait to be able to go down there for some actual BASE. Anyone interested, just let me know!

  9. Hi there...check out http://www.trade-a-plane.com. There are tons of planes and I would recommend getting the online password ($3 per month). It'll give you tons more answers. Good luck man! NEW AND IMPROVED!!! http://home.woh.rr.com/brandonandlaura/
  10. Here is a list of important answers and points: Absolutely not! You are still a very good looking woman, so you don't have to yet. Nah...you'll just have to have Merrick get you a Vette or something to drive to the DZ (and let me drive).
  11. thanks unclbennie...I have not found one person yet that jump at either of the two places that I'm interested in (Cleveland Parachute Center and Aerodrome Sky Sports). If anyone goes there, LET ME KNOW!
  12. It's me again asking the dumb questions
  13. Thanks for all the awesome advice. There are so many places to check around and so many people wanting to take advantage these days, it's good to have so many people (fellow skydivers) willing to help out! I really liked the 1/2 now and 1/2 after thumbs up deal! That would really work well! Thanks again for all the info and I'll be sure to have a rigger help me out since I probalby won't know enough to assemble thing thing that will save my life over and over
  14. Let's see here Merrick....since you are bringing it up, I assume it's not you
  15. How do they ruin your day? Oh yeah! Duh!! Those huge teeth can put a HUGE gash in your canopy or container. At least your body will be in the way to protect one side of it.
  16. I am just wondering who is planning on going to the Richmond Boogie?? I will hopefully be partway through my AFF and packing there by the time it happens in late-August. I would love to meet any of the people there and hangout. Let me know who is going!! Blue skies and big planes NEW AND IMPROVED!!! http://home.woh.rr.com/brandonandlaura/
  17. Hey adam....that is a cool thing then. especially for stuff so complicated and not widely known as skydiving gear. I'll definetely keep that in mind when the time comes for a couple of rigs. blues NEW AND IMPROVED!!! http://home.woh.rr.com/brandonandlaura/
  18. thanks for the info. sounds like those Paramounts are the thing to get! My buddy is wanting to do it too, and I am going to probably get into skysurfing. That could come out with some cool stuff. When I am on the X Games, I'll contribute the camera info to you too!
  19. I am also wondering if you find better deals (from your own experience) by buying them in seperate pieces or complete rigs?? Thanks again!
  20. Hey Merrick...thanks for the info. I will certainly keep checking the auctions in here. (what do you think of this one just for kicks?? http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/auctionDB/auction.pl?action=item&item=70 Thanks for the site too. That has a lot of stuff!! Dutchboy....that is a good idea with the escrow service. How does that really work?? I've never really heard of those before. Thanks!! NEW AND IMPROVED!!! http://home.woh.rr.com/brandonandlaura/
  21. haha......those are great!! never had the luckyness to hear something funny on a plane like that. blues NEW AND IMPROVED!!! http://home.woh.rr.com/brandonandlaura/
  22. I was also wondering. If you buy something from E-bay, an online place, etc, how can you make sure that there is nothing wrong with the rig? What is the best way to find out? I would love to think that all skydivers can trust each other to no end, but sometimes, the almighty buck is too strong for someone to succumb to, and you end up getting screwed. Any advice would be awesome!! NEW AND IMPROVED!!! http://home.woh.rr.com/brandonandlaura/
