  1. I work as a CNC machinist for a local business in Golden. We manufacture a robotic telescope mount which is the jam, and thus affords the business to pay me well. Oh yah, 3 years college right now, 2 more for MA in mechanical eng. and BA in physics. .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC
  2. Anyone seen it, worn it, jumped it? I am looking for an open face helmet that has good chin/jaw protection, and just ran across this today. All comments welcome! .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC

    Weekend Numbers!

    :4:2 4 excellent jumps (2 on saturday, 2 on sunday) 2 cases of beer owed, because I did my A license check dive with DJan (and passed), and jumped my very first own pack job on that same dive. The best part was that it actually opened! On heading too! .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC
  5. It has been my experience thus far that most other jumpers are very welcoming, irregardless of age. However, I would definately agree that there tends to be a little bit of a lag at the beginning due to the amount of people that come and begin some student training, and then quit. But, once this point in the road has been crossed where they know you're there for good, it does feel much more friendly and welcoming. .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC

  7. Hey all, I saw a radio controlled skydiver on here a while back, and was interested in finding the link again, I searched for it, but came up missing. It was a couple of guys in Europe, and I believe they had produced a scaled copy of the stilleto. Thanks!
  8. I'd have to respectfully disagree with this attitude. If you feel this way, why can't they? In all seriousness though, when headed to a new DZ, why not make the 5 minute effort to run around and introduce yourself. On one hand, yah, everyone should put forth that effort to greet someone new. It's an awesome feeling to get that recognition, and to "join in the group". But on the other hand, sometimes people aren't so inclined to talk to the person sulking in the corner, right? Either way, I say, yah, go meet the new guy. .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC

  10. Colorado School of Mines, in Golden. I can hit the Coors brewery with a rock from my house. Junior, in Mechanical Eng. w/ possibly a minor in Physics. I'm BROKE! .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC

    Good flix.

    I gotta agree with Yoshi on this one. Eternal Sunshine was one of the oddest but impressive movies I've ever seen. Only good one I've seen in a while though. ::grumbles:: .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC
  12. Here's Mine. Looking to put it's first jump on it this weekend.
  13. Hey All, Thanks a bunch for the information! I do appreciate it.
  14. Hey All, Into my posession have come two big boxes full of stamps and older currency (non-US). They've been sitting in a dark, dry basement for years, and I was told to get rid of them, and enjoy any profit. The problem being, I know little if nothing about any of this stuff, but wouldn't mind turning it into skydiving cash. Any suggestions regarding cataloging these things for sale, and what might be good references to their worth? If you help me make lots of money to skydive, I'll buy you lots of beer as soon as we meet! .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC

  18. Hey Daizey! The portion of foot you're using for contact while running is usually controlled by a couple of things (ankle/calf strength/balance). Having run 800's for track/cross country, I also tended to be a toe-runner. There is nothing wrong with this, and I've heard (though no specifics) that staying on the toes reduces impact wear to the knee. Personally, I've found it to to be a much more powerful stride than full-foot contact, though results may vary. .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC
  19. It's the Loic video you're talking about. I believe that it's on performancedesigns webpage. .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC

  21. Getting my very first brand new (to me) rig today!
  22. I take it none of you have seen Salo then. By far, one of the sickest, most uncomfortable movies I have ever watched. .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC
  23. Actually, this one is real. Info, and picture can be found in FAA's Flight Safety Information. .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC
  24. A new (to me at least) complete rig. That return won't come nearly quick enough... .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC
