  1. Thank you! _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss
  2. How bout an option for Thigh Highs ( with Pumps) and Eventually nothing? _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss
  3. Oh yea. In freefall one of " the boys" worked his way under the leg strap. That taught me to make sure things were out of the way and my straps were good and tight. This was also the hardest opening I have had in my short career. Luckily the wind dried up the resulting tears and I had to explain the profanity to the other folks under canopy around me heard. They had a good laugh on that one. It was a good lesson for me. BUT I still had a good dive.

  4. Now that's a great idea! I am in a corporate environment so there are a lot of goofers, oh sorry golfers, around. I bet landing on one of those manicured greens would be oh so soft and there are little flags at every hole to tell you the wind direction. _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss
  5. I feel sure I've got one. Even before I started Skydiving, there were so many times that I should have been dead and for some reason, I'm not, I think the GAs have a raffle and the looser gets me ( and a supply of valium). _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss
  6. Probably the only way to get broadcast interest in a RW or FF competition would be to put a live cam on the cameraman's helmet so the audience could watch it in real time and the talking heads could do replays. _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss
  7. Welcome to your new addiction. I just started a new job and it only took a few days for my new co-workers to start getting that glazed over look when I start to talk about skydiving. Good luck and have fun. _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss
  8. For the past few years I have only purchased 2 colors of socks. Black and white. Makes life much simpler. Since I usually dig my socks out of the drawer while my wife is still asleep ( and the room is dark) I don't have to worry about the clothes match. _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss

  10. As usual I am behind the curve. I didn't know there was one going in there. Will it be indoor or outdoor? _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss
  11. Thanks guys. Now we have established that I don't look at the credits and I have poor attention to detail. _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss
  12. I ran across a fox sports clip on Skydivingmovies.com that had some female skydivers diving in some rather nice lingerie. I was wondering if anyone here could Identify the ladies so we sould compliment them on their .... um .....er .... skydiving skills. I would post a link but you have to log in to skydivingmovies.com now.

  13. The programming would be easy Skydiving show, beer ads, Skydiving show, beer ads, Of course they could branch out and do a DZ cooking show "The greatest DZ snack shacks" Probably wouldn't get much viewership on the weekends. Hey, I'd watch it. _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss
  14. Ok, I got 140. That's pretty pure isn't it? _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss
  15. Welcome to your new addiction. My brother and I started diving last year ( he is 50 and I am 43). I heard an interview with one of the Golden Knights concerning being nearvous that was great. It was something like " If you aren't a little scared ( nearvous) then you need to quit". I still have low jump numbers and I still get butterflies from time to time. I think I't just your body telling you that you need to be careful. _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss
  16. I could only make it Saturday morning for a little while but it looked like a great time. I plan on attending the actual festivities next year. _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss
  17. Probable had to thumb a ride while waving my insurance card _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss
  18. When I started skydiving I called my carrier from work ( BCBS) and their response was " As long as you can get to the hospital, we'lll cover the expenses". Of course they were stifiling a chuckle when they said this. _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss

  22. I have a Tony suit. Where the Nylon and spandex meet in the butt area it is beginning to separate. Any ideas on the best way to patch this or at least stop the hole from getting larger? Thanks in advance _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss
