  1. I'm sure he is a good lad and has the Guinness ready to go at room temp once the ice runs out. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  2. Good to know it wasn't just me that thought the site was terrible. I hope Omniskore doesn't miss another one again - geez, what was he thinking going in for heart surgery! Get better soon! I can't figure out when the freefly and freestyle events are going to happen either -- do you need to register on that site to get more info? _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  3. I know that Omniskore is not posting scores this time around, but does anyone know where I can find the scores as they post them? I must be a dolt, because I can't figure out Mondial2003 webpage _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  4. Looks around. Looks again. "Damn, I swore I heard something in here." Looks down. "Oh, Hi Kreg! Cool, I wanted to meet you!" I'd like to meet Bo. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  5. Oh my...Kirk on that show....now that is something I would watch! _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  6. Know one of the best sales tactics? Don't oversell and let the customer sell you on why they want this. When you start getting into these detailed reasons of "why" they need or should want your product, you have given the customer all the power in the sale again. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  7. As Moody pointed out - you may not qualify again down the road for the grant money. Most people never get a grant....If you still have more school down the line, save the cash - even put it in a short term CD - and use it for the next semester of school or save it for when your Title IV or third party loans come due 6 months after your last class. While a a few jumps or a new rig may look like the best way to spend the extra, its better not to touch the excess grant money. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  8. Damn....beat me to it, Bo. The landing gear is okay, the missing wingtip is most definitely not! Timing is everything _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

  10. Have to admit, I'm reading A LOT less posts these days due to the fluff nature of them. I like the Talk Back Forum and the occasional PW threads were funny from time to time, but some people are taking it to a very annoying level. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  11. Yea, but the USPA museum will be worth us not having this insurance, right? I'd rather not get our "official" magazine and still have insurance. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  12. IF they don't, I may just drop my membership outright. I'm already an AOPA member, I won't see the need for the USPA card after this. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

  15. Eh, too much risk of something getting hurt on a guy with loose leg straps. I'll let my track suffer just so I am not walking with a limp _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  16. NOW you are going to be quiet? - I hear that wasn't the case at a certain freefall convention. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  17. not if you have an unlisted number _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  18. It allows you to really roll you shoulders up to your ears, which will give you a longer and flatter track. I wear my leg straps about that loose, but I have a peice of bungy between the legstraps to keep them from sliding down my legs. I don't think I have ever heard of that one. Tight leg straps prevent you from rolling your shoulders? _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  19. If they had better customer service with real people skills, they would still be a company I would consider buying a new rig from them and be ok with the long wait. I understand they are busy, but they need to treat their customers better on the phone, and in person. There are at least two gear stores that make the same mistake and that reputation can kill a company. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  21. Same here, no problems so far. And hopefully there won't be any problems either. I do NOT want to loose a contact lens at altitude. Vision -11 + cylinder with both eyes is not fun without correction I picked up a pair of Curv-X sunglasses at Para Concepts a couple weekends ago, picked up a sport band that keeps it around your neck as well. Total investment was about $17. In freefall (RW) they worked great, and my contacts never felt like they were getting dry. Plus, they didn't fog up under canopy (they did just a bit in the plane, but once the door was open they cleared up). I placed the band up to the folding part on the arms, tied a simple knot behind my head and then put the NVertigo on. I don't think I will be going back to goggles anytime soon. best part? I tested them out in the car on the way home from the dz - hit about 100mph, stuck my head out the window! _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  22. he said no tandem rigs I wasn't the one with mud all over my jumpsuit at WFFC, now was I? well, don't tell half the story - I made the goofy mistake of actually trying to do a left hand pattern and ended up doing a nice long downwind plf when I couldn't cut into the pattern for my final. gotta admit thou, it was a pretty spectacular crash! _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  24. There is a supplement that is becoming one of the new "must have" things at GNC type stores - Chitosan (sp?). First off, if you are allergic to shellfish, don't take it. What it's supposed to do is help block the absorbtion of carbs into your system. Chitosan stays in your system for a short period of time, so you need to take the pills within 30 minutes before you have your meals, otherwise they claim it won't work. Or, you could just add a bunch of fish to your diet. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  25. There is no miracle pill that will help you lose weight. And not everyone reacts well to these pills - they can cause a significant increase in your BP/pulse even when you are at a rest. They have even been known to cause heart palpatations. Only take them if you are working out, and just before you work out. The idea of these pills are to help increase your heartrate to get you into that cardio and fat burning range a lot quicker, thus optomizing your workout. What most people don't realize is that you will still lost just about the same amount of weight on the workout plan (with a balance diet) without the pills. If you plan on taking them without exercise, then you are wasting your time and money. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....
