  1. It's been "about a month" since February. Same here, and so far I'm very pleased with it.
  2. Play with it up high some more. I can't get too much out of my Firebolt 200 from a full-flight riser turn before the riser pressure is too high, but I've found if I start in brakes and use a decent amount of harness input I can get a really nice turn going. Be sure that your brake lines aren't too short either.
  3. Working at a DZ, I get calls from people all over the country dialing 1-800-Skydive from their local cell phones, so I'm pretty sure it's by the number, rather than the call location.
  4. Try Millagro or Gran Centenario Anejo.
  5. Agreed. Why are the BASE jumpers worried about the FAA anyway? The FAA doesn't regulate BASE jumping. I don't think most BASE jumpers would appreciate a skydiver showing up at one of their sites in the middle of the afternoon and jumping it with a skydiving rig, so why is it ok for a BASE jumper to show up to a skydiving event to try and make a BASE jump?
  6. There is a law. If's it's not a TSO'd dual-parachute system, it's not legal to jump it from an aircraft. Personally, I think putting the pilot in a position where they might have to deal with the FAA for a base jump is pretty selfish.
  7. What in the hell are you talking about? Edit: I think you missed the point of what I said.
  8. They didn't ask if you could do it, read more closely next time. I know a few packers that could probably fit my 200sq ft Firebolt into a container designed for a Spectre 150, but that doesn't mean it'd be possible for most people, not cause excess wear on the container, or even be safe.
  9. Drink more beer? It works for me, but the problem is I've been working on slowing down my fall rate.
  10. 1. Hit [Prt Scr] button. 2. Open "Paint" 3. Press [Ctrl] + [V] 4. Click "OK" 5. File>Save As> - Save as background.bmp. 6. Change the desktop background to the image you saved. 7. Delete some of the shortcuts on the desktop.
  11. I think those are last year's jumps, but it's been a while since I've seen it.
  12. Slacker. Para-Gear's website usually has some detailed info on different lines.
  13. I'm not sure who'll be out there on Friday, but I'll be out there on Saturday for Casino night. It'll probably be slow friday, as services for Mariann are being held that morning.

    Gotta lay off of the porn man, that stuff will kill yer computer.
  15. I don't have an opinion on your landing, but I have an opinion on your attitude. If your canopy skills are anything like your communication skills it's no suprise you were injured. I don't know who you are, and don't really give a shit who you are. After this post I don't really care to meet you. That's posibly the most stupid statement I've ever heard.
  16. I love my Mamba. My only complaint is that the lenses scratch pretty easily, but I'm pretty sure that's true with any full face helmet.
  17. Saturday: Jumping, working, then drinking Sunday: Working, jumping, then driving.
  18. Nooo... But we had to do something to keep the Jager cool when it's 110 degrees outside!
  19. one of these.... UPS man brought it by yesterday and it'll be at the DZ on the 29th.
