  1. If anyone needs a ride from Atlanta airport Friday morning drop me a line. I get off work at the airport in between 7:30 and 8 am, but I don't mind hanging around for a while if someone needs a lift. Holla. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!
  2. Yeah, now if I could steal a 777 engine from down at the Delta hangar................we'd be in biness. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!
  3. I gotta agree with Dave (again, kinda scary), develope your situational awarenes, and basic skills on your belly at least until your new rig gets here. Go out on some two and three way belly jumps, know where everyone on the dive is for the entire dive, practice breakoff skills (180 turn and then tracking), and practice tracking. Be honest with yourself. These are all skills that translate directly to freeflying. Think of them as survival tools. Just my two cents. Be safe, and remember the better you learn to skydive, the more skydives you can make. I can honestly say that I wish I would have spent more time on my belly instead of going straight to freeflying. When I wanted to get my coaches rating, I wound up shelling out some serious coin for belly coaching. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!
  4. Just call 'em "Shimmel the Pimp" or Shimp. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!
  5. I've got a little over 500 jumps on Sabre 2's, they provide a very stable platform to get the basics, and progress toward the discipline of your choice. With some good canopy coaching you can "just fly it", you can learn to swoop it, you can do a little CRW with it, and you can sink it in for accuracy. Plus that 170 is in high demand and will hold its value so you won't loose much or anything at all when you go to resell it. Enjoy it. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!
  6. Aheeem Ahhhheeeeemmmmmmm, Why for the love all that is Irish am I not on the Friday list?? Add me lest ye be kicked in the nuts.( I don't know how to add myself, and I adamantly refuse to kick myself in the nuts) Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!
  7. Just send me your requests for music other than that of Mark, and I will do what I can to collaborate and educate the poor kid. We'll work something out, promise. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!
  8. Life is full of opportunities. I didn't know Mark had a computer at work, he just got a badass little toy in the mail (not like your thinking,.......a computer), the door was shut, I sure as hell was not going to "check" and see if he was abus(ehem ehem) useing his new computer, that could scar me for life. Jeez ya gotta think of the implications, I don't want to kick anyone's ass........I want you to buy me beer
  9. Dude are you home??? Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

  11. Hey, I like to keep the ladies happy, and besides booty shakin allows you to participate with the ladies, or treat it as a spectator sport (either by choice or lack thereof). "Just a lil somefin fo eveyone" Buy music?????? How in the hell do you do that? Have high speed internet, have burner, will download (will not share P2P), will burn, will bring.

  12. Apparently that debt can be quelled by cutting funds to the military, and education. It worked well for Clinton. And you're right Kerry hasn't run any companies into the ground. He'd have to get the wife's permission. Just out of curiosity, how does the national debt affect you personally. Did you notice a change when it was balanced? Other than the news saying "there is a surplus". What are the benefits of a balanced vs. an unbalanced budget. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!
  13. Who needs risers, this crazy bitch doesn't even use toggles. Can I get an Autograph. I like it. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!
  14. I too am fairly well fucked for flying in the tunnel. I've got to drop some weight off my chunky ass. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!
  15. Ladies: A little birdie told me that if you want a little music variety to do some booty shakin' then you need to bombard Mark with PM's and such stating your desire to "shake ya ass". Just a thought, birdies tell you this kinda stuff when you live in the same house as the DJ. This has been a LOUD DAN public service announcement. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!
  16. Yeah Mark, I mean you just said you would probably change your plans to come out. So is this going to be done by the "drawing two names out of a hat" method? That would be cool. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!
  17. MOON???? We don't need no stinking moon.... Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!
  18. Are we there yet?? Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!
  19. Hey R U Dr. Wildcard yet, or will you be joining us in the crackhouse/ camper again this year at freezefest? Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!
  20. Yup, Steve-O is on to bigger and better things, but John Pinyon is a great coach/ organizer, and is a blast to hang out with. Just hit 'em with a lot of rubber bands, he likes that. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

  22. For what it's worth, I'd suggest working with a partner doing 2 ways (less people to keep track of, less chance of collision). Break higher than normal (say 6,500 instead of 5) to give yourself some time to "play" with your tracking. I agree fully with Dave and Chris, YOU MUST KNOW WHERE EVERYONE IS AT ALL TIMES. If your profile is correct, you have somewhat low jump experience, not a slam we've all been there, but just because your not on your head doesn't make it any less dangerous if awareness is lost. Think of the awareness aspect as conditioning, you get comfortable flying two ways, you know where your partner is at break off time, and you can effectively gain sepparation. Good, add a third person, get comfortable knowing where the other two are at all times, learn how to "find" your partners if you loose sight of them and what to do if you can't find them, become proficient at clean break offs and tracking, and keep progressing from there. The safer you learn to skydive, the more skydives you can do. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!
  23. I'm coming down Friday as soon as I get off work, should get there around 9 ish (am). Breakfast and a shower, and I'll be good to go. Something to think about is Day light savings time @ midnight on Saturday, gotta roll 'em back an hour. This will be useful for extending party time. THIS IS GONNA BE GREAT!!! I"M LOUD DAN BEOTCH!!
