  1. hell, if you weren't, then that would be a scary ride for ya!! -------------- Richmond Boogie pics...
  2. what kind of plane was it?? and were you PIC?? -------------- Richmond Boogie pics...
  3. Man, that looks weird. -------------- Richmond Boogie pics...
  4. Got this picture in some random e-mail that someone sent me of the Monroe fiasco that involved that CASA from CSS.
  5. Thanks for the in-depth advice on starting on a board. I want to do this after a couple hundred more jumps, but I'll certainly have this bookmarked for future reference.
  6. Hahah.....I'm a veteran now!! woohoo!! (I need to stop being on here so much...jeez.
  7. You were yelling corrections while the prop was off and you were getting ready to exit? BWHAHAHA!! So, did you guys get in the door? or did you all just jump and chase?? -------------- Richmond Boogie pics...
  8. Sounds like a blast, Lisa. Hopefully early next year Laura and I can get down there and make some jumps in GA. That would be nice to meet all of you. -------------- Richmond Boogie pics...
  9. Great job, Lew!! Why did you not try it at the Boogie?? They had coaches and everything. Just curious. More pictures?? Or are you going to put it online, WB?? -------------- Richmond Boogie pics...

  11. you are all right....i guess that i just forget that you cant "preplan" these things. we all learn from experience and now that if you can get these things into offices/buildings, there would be more lives saved. Can you imagine if everyone in the WTC had one? What a site that would have been!! Thousands of people doing BASE jumps from the windows. That would have really said, "Screw you, Bin Laden!" Sorry guys...I dont always look at the big picture.
  12. well, I'll find out how hard that would be to make them all different (same main design, but with different colors, quotes, names, long/short sleeve). I think that I'll take orders for like two weeks and then go to them with the whole order. That would be best so I dont have to buy tons and then HOPE to sell them. and i like the idea of quote w/person who said it....nice.
  13. GREAT video on the left of THIS webpage. Also, check out the webpage of CAMERAMONKEY. He has a tandem video on his also. Have fun! -------------- Richmond Boogie pics...
  14. DOH!! Sorry Lisa....I guess that sounded bad. When I first read it soon after it was posted, it just sounded like someone making that up to sell to those people for some quick bucks. BUT, if they are going to train them (minimal) and send them out, than by all means...DO IT!! I guess what I posted didnt sound right. Sorry. I do that a lot.
  15. Thanks for the info, Don! I am sure that everyone was happy that they kept cool and all that stuff. Congrats to all!! -------------- Richmond Boogie pics...
  16. Yo Hackey...your idea seems pretty good to me about that. We aren't going to really "market" them outside of dropzone.com, so you'll have to be registered I guess. Eitherway, I like your phrase. -------------- Richmond Boogie pics...
  17. Seems to me that we're going to really have to see how this turns out. If those bastards get money, than that is going to go to shit because it will give more ammo to anyone else wanting to sue. But, if they dont get jack, than I think that it will be good to show that those waivers have SOME type of legitamacy(sp?). Personally, I don't think that they should get a dime. If you are under canopy, you should know WHO and WHAT is around you. Plain and simple. Esecially that guy with 3 jumps. You should know better by then. -------------- Richmond Boogie pics...
  18. At the Richmond Boogie, one of the regulars at our DZ was trying to back his canopy into a small space. He was about 50-100' above the CONCRETE in front of the hanger when his canopy collapsed and reinflated quickly. Damn!! I saw him doing that (from straight below) and thought...RUN!!! -------------- Richmond Boogie pics...
  19. ...which really isn't that big of a deal since you can open high if you need to and just cruise back. Oh well...... -------------- Richmond Boogie pics...
  20. folks......i am just waiting for word from HH to get started. also, I am waiting for some more good quotes/sayings. I'll put a poll on here when the time comes to choose.
  21. You said it, Marc! That sure is a good feeling. To know that if we die here, we can go up to the infinite blue skies and jump without rigs.....we can FLY there!! Woohoo!! -------------- Richmond Boogie pics...
  22. So that was your FIRST jump on your new main?? OUCH!! -------------- Richmond Boogie pics...
  23. Are you talking about the 5 jumps into a 20m radius around the target? If so, that is not a problem really as long as you get some good spots. hehe......I've had some pretty bad ones where I land halfway across the HUGE airport in the mud, almost on the runway. That hurts!! -------------- Richmond Boogie pics...
