But this death at the Ranch proves that even with a 280 Manta you can die performing a low turn. IMHO, its not all about canopy selection - its also about respecting the canopy. BTW - Great article as per usual Tom! _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

I'm sorry but do you not realize how much wind is in that tunnel? I don't care if the chick is dripping wet once the air hits it it'll be on the ceiling. It's pretty amazing some of the conversations you hear on here. Yup, we are soooo not normal. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

Doubt it. It was probably just the idea of being in the tunnel that did it. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

Hang on a sex while I try and calculate. Eh nevermind. I don't want to talk abou tit.... That's a good thing right? Playing with your boobs in the pub last night didn't help? _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

Normally I think Vaseline is primitive but in this case I think it would work. Just as long as you clean the ceiling after you are done. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

So you guys came up with this idea while watching eeneR and Val? Why couldn't the guy sitfly? _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

Dave - new systems may not be out until 2006, for the holidays. That is best case scenario right now. They just released a slimed down version of the PS2 for $149 - but it can never add on a hard drive. BTW - you may want to get the game now, there are protests galore surrounding this game and asking it to remove some of its content. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

Yes you are Here it is: http://www.perrisvalleyskydiving.com/cams/webcams.asp?c=w Is that Remster with the flames on the helmet? _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

Notice how Renee fits in the entire view of the cam and Val doesn't? _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

I'm not sure I've ever seen her NOT smile while in the tunnel or in the air

We used to smack Renee's ass all the time when she first started to pack _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

Nope - pure silver Z1. Look for the Purple Legs, black spandex on the back, white grippers, and blue arms. Hows that for details? _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

User error. If you have a firewall at work, they usually don't work. BTW - looks really sunny there now. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

Renee has a Purple and silver jumpsuit and silver full face helmet. Val has a Blue and Pink jumpsuit, IIRC. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

The problem with webcams is the limited field of view. Most are meant for personal use on a computer. The only way they could make the picture bigger (just guessing on the equipment they are using) would be to pull the camera back some. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

Wow, they stayed long And Renee didn't even answer her phone. Is there a tunnel cam now? Edit - add - never mind, found it. http://www.perrisvalleyskydiving.com/cams/webcams.asp?c=w _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

I'm getting very tired of sales, IT and sitting in an office all day long (which is the reason I have job hoped so much the last few years). I have been contemplating what I wanted to go back to school for (I dropped out midway thru my last semester in college because I was offered my dream job as a journalist/broadcaster)....for the longest time it was going to be aviation but due to the current long term job outlook and the travel schedule, I will only keep that as a hobby. I've done photography off/on for many years going back to grade school and had a chance to do some real work as a photographer for a few weeks two summers ago. Despite the long hours and having to stand for 12 hours at a time, I enjoyed it.....ALOT. I want to finish up my undergrad and I have been contemplating an MBA for the last six months. I came across this school here in town, near my current job: http://www.artic.edu/saic/programs/depts/undergrad/photo.html What I am curious on...are there any full time photographers on here...and I don't limit that to just skydiving. In fact, I don't think I would even want skydiving to be my main subject to photo (I would love to get back into journalism as a photographer). What are you thoughts, etc. Being in education sales, I ask people all day long about their dream job, what will make them happy, etc.....I think I finally asked myself those questions and I believe that photography may be that path. Surprisingly, I am getting a ton of support from those around me (family/friends)....so it has been on my mind a lot. Any advice would be appreciated. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

Or they are headed for the wind tunnel.

I turned on the news this morning and saw the huge water spout just off the SoCal coast and instantly thought about all those folks at Perris for the camp! That is a pretty impressive webcam! Tell them to get there now and entertain me while at work! _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

I never used the Tri Band phones that had GSM on them, just the dual band. Personally, I would wait and see what happens with this new network. If you get into a Verizon contract and are unhappy with them, it will cost you to change. And I like the rollover minutes that we will get with this new company. Personally speaking, I know more people that have left Verizon due to poor coverage than AT&T. My phone works perfectly around Midway Airport and my brother is lucky to get a signal at times on his Verizon phone. I would suggest looking at Sprint over Verizon. I know a few jumpers that travel a lot and they said they had better luck with Sprint while traveling across the Southern US. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

AT&T was still offering Tri-Band phones (AMPS/Analog, TDMA and GSM) over the summer only in the stores, not online. You can still order the Siemens S46 Dual Band (TDMA/GSM) phone on the website. I was an early adopter to the AT&T GSM network with the S46 phone. That phone made the transition easy and allowed the phone to work in rural areas of Iowa, Georgia, Illinois and Kentucky without a problem. I had about 95% coverage driving from Chicago to Tampa using that phone with better connection and sound than any other phone I had before hand (I've been using cell phones for over ten years). Now I have a stand alone GSM Nokia 6200 phone and it works like a charm as well. In fact, it works in places my TDMA phone never worked. No, it didn't work in the middle of Iowa, but I just swapped the SIM card into my old S46 phone and had perfect coverage again. About three months ago AT&T changed their National plans so that if your GSM phone listed "Cingular or T-Mobile" as your roaming carrier at the moment, you would NOT be charged any roaming fees anymore. So, now with my GSM phone and the $39 national plan I have, I currently have more coverage because it will work on three distinct GSM networks. I like that I have more coverage because of this merger, however I feel that prices will go up in the short term due to lack of competition. Newer technology will be faster to hit the market with the combined license agreements that both companies have. "Push-To-Talk" will be coming to the new Cingular company early next year. Combine that with my free mobile to mobile and I am pretty happy with them...despite some terrible customer service. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....
