  1. I do the throw salt over your shoulder thing too and all my friends will tell you I NEVER share my popcorn. I have to drive and if I'm not - use my feet anyway in the passenger seat! I'm almost 'Sleeping with the Enemy' neurotic in that I like all of my towels hanging at the same level in the bathroom and the labels of cans facing the same way in the pantry - So there's some fur ya!!

  4. My heart aches for you. I'm so sorry. I lost my best friend last summer - it gets easier but you never forget. Hang in there! Dare to dream and then make it happen!
  5. Only ever really had 3 - the first was SPARKY (use your imagination and NO I don't play with fire.....) - the second was Doobie Head (and not for the reasons you're thinking) and last - BRIGHT EYES because I'm generally always smiling and when I do - there's a twinkle in my eyes!!

    80s music

    Honestly, I couldn't agree more!! I was downloading some music for tandem video sake and came across a butt ton of 80's stuff - burned an awesome CD. Great time to grow up - be alive - experience all it had to offer. Dare to dream and then make it happen!
  7. I am laughing my ASS off!!!! hehehehehehehehehe Dare to dream and then make it happen!
  8. I have never had a problem with go arounds at any DZ I've visited - what I've seen more often are those who get out not knowing it's a bad/long spot. You need to understand how to spot in order to know when to ask for a go around. Dare to dream and then make it happen!
  9. I know he'll be happy - and the people he crosses paths with will absolutely love him. How couldn't you? Thanks for the many fun memories Rob - including the ride in the SkyVan buzzing the swoop pond on opening weekend at CK. I have a feeling you'll be seeing many of your DZ friends in the islands! Dare to dream and then make it happen!
  10. Darwin Award winner for sure! Dare to dream and then make it happen!
  11. Believe me (from experience) you won't know it (if you're lukcy) and it's all good....... Dare to dream and then make it happen!
  12. Hi! I too have done a lot of freestyle and found the same thing - the wings actually put more pressure on your arms and upper body. I had a suit made (Bev Suits) with winglets - provides good stability and is much easier on your arms. The only thing I can say is that you get used to it Working out regularly (which you do), taking vitamins and ibuprofen for the aftermath is good. Also - stay hydrated. Keep it up - that's awesome about the freestyle!! Dare to dream and then make it happen!
  13. I also sometimes jump at CK - looking forward to meeting you!! Dare to dream and then make it happen!
  14. Definitely flat pack - tandem roll the nose and it'll be all good!! Dare to dream and then make it happen!
  15. Welcome to the forums and the amazing world of skydiving. Take in as much information as you can from your instructors - have fun!! We're all 'newbies' on some level - you learn something new each and every time you skydive!! Dare to dream and then make it happen!
  16. Welcome!! Where are you from? If you're in PA at all - Above the Poconos Skydiving is a MUST DO!! Have fun - be safe and hope to see you!! Dare to dream and then make it happen!
  17. We jump all year round - even in the bitter cold and snow (love it actually) - but our 'official' season starts after daylight savings time...... Dare to dream and then make it happen!
  18. Welcome and congratulations!! What a cool goal - one of mine is to jump in each of the 50 states in the US.....again, welcome to the forums!! Dare to dream and then make it happen!
  19. I couldn't agree more (as one of the frequent Zhills visitors)......maybe I should just listen to Oren, Jeannie, Bucky, Ron, and the rest of the crew and MOVE DOWN!! Dare to dream and then make it happen!
  20. Welcome Stacey!! Hope that you don't have to work so hard this summer as to NOT be able to jump more!! My work brings me to Mass. every now and again - if I can I'll pop in to say hello!! Dare to dream and then make it happen!
  21. Do something.....anything with your friends and it will be memorable.....I wasn't doing hybrid jumps until after I had over 500 jumps so I can't relate to that.....why rush things....just enjoy some freefall with some good pals - catch it on video and let all celebrate by putting a yummy pie in your face!! Dare to dream and then make it happen!
  22. Why??? Go practice your procedures in your suspension harness......no need for the exta heartache......if and when it does happen - you'll be prepared and it'll be all good! Dare to dream and then make it happen!
  23. My absolute favorite jump this year was flying outside camera for Leni on her first AFF jump at Zhills in February!!! She's now an AFF graduate and working toward her A - miss ya Leni and can't wait to see you at the Ranch!!!! Kisses!!!! Dare to dream and then make it happen!
  24. I seriously couldn't agree more.....I, since I started in the sport wanted to do freestye, get my AFF and fly camera....now after almost 800 jumps I accomplished competing in freestyle and only just 120 jumps ago started flying camera. I'm currently trying to focus on my flying skills for AFF......there is absolutely no need to rush.....you should feel confident (as you can be) on your abilities before you take on something new.....there are so many more variables with a camera on your head....it's scary to think of what 100 jump wonders with very little experience (sorry - no offense meant) would do with a mal and a camera on their head........we all want to skydive for LIFE, right??? Take it slowly....it's all good! Dare to dream and then make it happen!
  25. Join the crowd!! But we're a heck of a lot of fun!!! Enjoy, be safe!! Dare to dream and then make it happen!
