    I jump therefore I uhh .....(insert clever remark). For those of you in rig peril, try this: 1. Go to bank and apply for a $4,000 signature loan payable over 36 months. Interst rates are low right now so your payments should be in the $130 per month category. 2. Tell the loan officer the loan is for "FURNITURE" Works every time I swear. 3. Pray that you pass the credit check. 4. Get your money, buy your gear...problem solved. 5. What it boils down to is most gear rental is $25 per jump, as long as you make at least 6 jumps a month. Your gear is paying for itself (so to speak) 6. Get an off the shelf model container that fits you (or comes close) $1000.00. New reserve $700 Used Main $800 - 1200, a Cypress $900, and a used noggin cover for hopefully $100. You are now set with all of your own shit. 7. Note: This worked for me, results not guaranteed.

    It's a great place which is definatley more skydivers than tandems. The people are great, and the parties kick ass. The King Air they have is only slightly slower than Mike Mullins, takes about 8 - 9 minutes to altitude (it's in FLA till March, they have a Caravan right now). ASC is a Tandem factory, but there are some awesome skydivers there, especially if your looking for freefly coaching. They have an Otter but are kinda slow during the winter. I've never been to Monroe. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

    Punkass says: "WAKE UP" You reply: "EAT A DICK" It would be a shocker, especially if used to you not saying anything at all. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

    I am a Ritalin kid from way back. I took it from 2nd grade all the way to 8th. After I got off it I had areally hard time focussing. I have recntly considered returning to Ritalin, as I can see my lack of focus effects my performance. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

    One cool thing is that most of the DZ's around my area offer discounts on Wednesdays, and when I inquired about sick days with the HR folks, I found that 80% of our sick days in the company happen on Monday and Friday. Wednesday events don't happen often enough for them to take notice only about 5%. So calling in sick on a Wednesday is no biggie, but the lead up for the sick day is on the dramatic side.

    Dude, I am a safety manager for an airline, and both of my bosses frown on the fact that I skydive. Of course, they are both pilots, and apparently believe it is OK to do aerobatics (during which FAR requires you to ear a parachute) even theough my one boss spent 10 months in the hospital after a crash. They got kinda pissed when I took the flight safety manager for a tandem. Fuck 'em Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

    Why?

    LoudDan replied to stuffit's topic in The Bonfire

    Yeah, 'cause Gore was obviously a choice better..... I don't really agree with this particular decision, but having faith doesn't make him a fanatic, I mean you have faith that if your main malfunctions, your reserve will open right..... Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

    260, ....never,ever,ever under any circumstances take your jump number and multiply it by the cost of a jump ticket.... Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

    When your its time........ its time. That does not only hold true for death and dying. Educate yourself, learn as much about the sport as you can. Get a good canopy coach, learn the good habits while you are still young in the sport. This is the same advice my first coach gave me. To me the commradery, the exhileration, the pure serenity of the moment and the knowledge that "WE" do something that most people only dream about in their wildest dreams is what keeps me coming back (and going broke for that matter). Just my $.02 hope you stick withi bro Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

    I like that "The Jackass's Guide to Filling the Empty Coffee Pot" I think you could probably write an instruction book. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

    I gotta agree, I can't stand the fuckers who use that feedbag version of the coffee cup. You know what I'm talking about....that 96oz NASCAR #3 Memorial Limited Platinum Edition Numbered Coffee Pot Depleating personal fucking coffee jug. (whew). Not to mention how idiotic it looks to stand around holding this monstrosity of neon plastic with six diffeent sipper holes. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

    I do that too, sometimes I go into advanced math and try to calculate how many of whatever I'm looking at it would take to buy whatever piece of gear I'm needing/wanting. I actually decide on how badly I need it by estimating how much longer I'd have to wait. How come I could never do this and actually save money before I started skydiving?

    Just a thought for the lodging, if you can hook up with someone, there are some really good deals in the area (one right in Williamstown) on RV rentals. We got ours for right at 300 bucks, everything included. Boils out to like 50 bucks each over three nights. Granted that may seem a little steep, but if you like to indulge (or overindulge) you've got a comfy bed complete with shower, restroom, and kitchen right on the DZ. Kind of a no DUI garantee(sp) I hope I'm not the only one with this logic. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!
