  3. I have actually jumped with Jimmy Coiner "the midwest freefly legend" a few times. he is pretty well known around here.. hence the midwest legend title. Here is a pictuer of jimmy with his medal from eloys money meet, he got 2nd place in his first ever comp. jimmy will be on skydive radio this next week as well. Joe www.greenboxphotography.com
  4. you can buy a new one for 60$ www.greenboxphotography.com
  5. I tried the air out method as well and thought everyting was good to go. I am not sure if i got the carbon fibre from the helmet or the work area even though I thought i did a very good clean up. Sounds like you did a good job if you have had no problems. I wish that I had done so. www.greenboxphotography.com

    Scoliosis

    tom I agree that chriopratic school has less education requiremnts to pratice medice and that they should as they don't have to cover as much of the body in thier filed. Pharmacology, stiching, etc are not something they have to dwell on so why spend the time with it? chrio's are specialist and deal in one area and there fore it would make sense that they go to school for fewer years. Scoliosis is something they deal with in a non evassive way. yes it may take many office visits to help correct but will still be cheaper then a surgery. I encourage a balance of both fileds and do not discourage a surgery if thats what it takes to fix a problem, but if I could keep from going under and having a surgeon operate on my spine then by all means i would seek the other route. I would never discredit a chriopractor, thier line of work or thier ability in the healing arts as they have earned the title as Doctor just the same as an MD. www.greenboxphotography.com
  7. use caution when drilling on helmets as your camera can get the drill dust in it and short it out. i fried a camera because I did not get all the carbon fiber material cleaned up after a drilling of the helmet.. 850$ camera fried and gone to the trash! i called sony to get it fixed but it would cost more to fix then the price of a new camera. good job on the helmet, it looked like good work. joe www.greenboxphotography.com

    Scoliosis

    Most doctors pratic with ethics and will not be "fishing" with follow up visits. having said that why would a spine surgeon not have an incentive? and are you saying physical therapist with spine training? if so they are not doctors, can't give a diagonsis they can only make recomendations and have to take orders from a doctor. many people will say negative things about chriopratic healing most of that is misinformed information based on hearsay and rumors. Chriopractors are real doctors. they have years of medical training and deal with spinal related healing. Yes chriopratic healing takes time, it is non invasive where surgery is. if you have a good doctor, MD or DC one will work with the other and outline whats best for you. My Md would send me to my DC if he felt that was in my best care and like wise for my DC. he has refered me back to my MD on many issues. Joe www.greenboxphotography.com
  9. lighthouse peak looks really neat and yes the mushroom rock is in all aspects a hoodoo. the top rock is a harder sandstone then the lower base. You guys in texas have a vast landscape, maybe thats why it's a just like another country! www.greenboxphotography.com
  10. thats cool, but when I saw legend I thought you where going to say. "midwest freefly legend jimmy Coinner" of kansas City... www.greenboxphotography.com
  11. the rock formation is outside of Kanopolis kansas at a place called Mushroom rocks state park.. there are just a small handfull of these formations in the middle of no where. Each rock has been craved upon with names and dates as the early settlers used them as refrence point of sorts. Joe www.greenboxphotography.com
  12. more photos of a cool trip.. Here is a few of my camp out two weeks ago for you John. www.greenboxphotography.com
  13. My girlfriend and I both scuba dive and skydive. www.greenboxphotography.com

    Ripstick!

    looks like the snake board from the late 80's... At least it's not a pair of fruit boots (roller blades) www.greenboxphotography.com
  15. man you guys really packed in the stuff.. I want to go a bit more minimal when i go down the river.. but I say if you can pack it in and do that comfortably then by all means camp in comfort. i went camping this past weekend, 7inches of snow and windy as could be. I was part of a crew for a friend that was running an ultra marathon on unimproved trails. it was freaking cold and not at all like your canoe trip but still nice. keep it up John, you have good adventuers. www.greenboxphotography.com
  16. very nice trip.. i would like to load up my kayak for a trip like that sometime. joe www.greenboxphotography.com
  17. Fletch I can't wait for the boogie.. as a special treat I am looking into having Elvis come by and sing a bit for us. I am also looking into providing the midwest freefly legend jimmy Connier. I will be calling upon a local refreshment store soon as well and placing an order with them. Hope to see you all there. Joe www.greenboxphotography.com
  18. best place?????? www.kcskydivingcenter.com www.ksupc.edu www.freefallexpress.com is a long drive from kc but well worth it here are a few other choices www.greenboxphotography.com
  19. did you try Mojos in texas?? any rigger can fix your 'wing" I used to do that for a living at Powrachute.. fixed many parachutes in my time but prefer not to do that any longer for the ppc world. www.greenboxphotography.com
  20. kansas is actually a very cool state.. www.greenboxphotography.com
  21. more pics.. 1st one is christina and liberty bell 7, the next is apllo 13 And the last is the spaceship in wich the first spacewalk was preformed from.. for Americans anyway. www.greenboxphotography.com
  22. We went to the Kansas Comosphere on Tuesday and here one of the planes I got to see. If you find yourself passing thru Hutchinson kasnas drop in and see this place. I will be posting pics of Liberty bell 7 and apollo 13 spacecraft soon. www.greenboxphotography.com
  23. thank you all for the input.. I will check out the good sams club as well. the trailer is freaking massive and add the factors of having animals in the back and she has her hands full.. a flat tire or something like that would be a massive problem. thanks joe www.greenboxphotography.com
  24. My wife and I have purchased a new trailer to haul over horse's with and she often travels without me.. I was wondering if any of you have ever used triple A for road service. If you have had to use the service was it worth it? I am afraid that she will get a flat on the trialer or a rear dual tire will go flat and she wont be able to change it if I am not there. Would just calling a local service be better or calling the triple A is better? Joe www.greenboxphotography.com
  25. Ouch.. sticky one there because of area politics.. i would have to say No he will not since he is taking over the world at this time. You should have cornered him on the radio program when you had a chance. www.greenboxphotography.com
