  1. Well, after 4 hours of rearranging travel plans........SEE YA THERE!!!! Wow, I do feel lucky now! Blues, Nathan Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.
  2. I'm feeling pretty lucky. In the states TDY (Fort Bragg, NC), work is wrapping up earlier than expected, Don't have to leave until Sunday........hmmmm....... Blues, Nathan Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.
  3. Ogden Skydiving Center in Utah. It is a towered DZ and skydiving is NOT the primary function of the airport. Get along just fine, but we do clear with the tower before crossing the runway. Right now, the particular runway is under construction and is not an issue, but will be again soon. Blues, Nathan Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.
  4. 0:7:1 Finally I can put jumps on here. 7 on Sunday. Case for the first jump at The Skydive Place. God it's good to finally be back in the States.....if only for a little while. Blues, Nathan Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.
  5. There, now you can just click on em. That damn underline kicks my ass. Blues, Nathan Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.
  6. Never been to Hawaii, but you might want to check this out. There's always more fish in the sea. I found at least three DZs there. This one has a King Air and sounds like it caters to fun jumpers, i.e., team rooms, packers, packing space, etc. Sounds a little more like what you're looking for. Depending on when I leave here, I may be there during that time too. I'm planning on flying through there and stopping for a day or two just to make a couple jumps there. So maybe I'll see you there. By the way, here's where I found them. Edited cause I screwed the clickies up again. Blues, Nathan Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.
  7. Dude, didn't know you kept that site. I love that site. I just posted the clickies in another thread. Here they are again, clickies are to the actual windblade pages, not just the homepages. Edited to fix the clickies Blues, Nathan Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.
  8. How about Gotcha Covered or Skydive Spain or Skynosaurs or Swoopblades or Wind Signs ? Gotta love options. Blues, Nathan Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.
  9. Yeah, what he said. He probably doesn't have the ability to take credit cards as you have to upgrade your paypal account to be able to. Blues, Nathan Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.
  10. I have a Sabre2 170 and a Sabre 170. I echo the importance of flying your body after pull time. It was an eye opener for me on what I was doing after pull time when I got the Sabre2. In the end I'm better for it, as now I'm aware and fly through deployment, not just to pull time. I was having line twists and off heading openings on nearly every jump until somebody made me aware of what I was doing to cause it. I also learned, I wasn't completing the flare all the way through the stroke. I found with my other canopy, I was only flaring to about chest level. The Sabre2 helped me learn to continue the flare through the end. I know other people that have ditched their Sabre2's due to bad openings,i.e., line twists, off heading, but my personal opinion is that it wasn't the canopy, it was the pilot. One guy at my DZ chopped his 3 times in a row. But his video, that he was wearing, clearly showed he peeked at the PC after tossing. Bottom line, I love my Sabre2 and I definitely think it's made me better. Blues, Nathan Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.
  11. Ok.....just gotta say it..... The smell of my fingers reminds me of last night... Blues, Nathan Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.
  12. Well, I'm D26355 and my wife is D26354. I occasionally get mixed up and write the wrong numbers down......soooo.......I'm claiming option 3....legitimately...........kinda. Blues, Nathan Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.
  13. Radio Shack or any comparable electronics store will have it. That's where I got mine. Blues, Nathan Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.
  14. Hi, I also know of a diabetic at our DZ. Great guy, really good skydiver. Anyway, enough of us know of his condition that if something weren't right we would notice. I recommend letting some people know of your condition and what to look for if your blood sugar gets low and what action to take. Monitor yourself carefully. I think the other suggestions were great. Other than that, drive on! Don't let it stop you. Blues, Nathan Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.
  15. Aviator for FF, Z1 for RW, Mindwarp camera helmet Blues, Nathan Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.
  16. Dude, relax.....he was just kidding. Blues, Nathan Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.
  17. Yeah, I wait til somebody asks me what it is and say, "It's a parachute. They didn't issue you one too?" You can get interesting reactions that way. I've done both. If I'm staying continental US, I'd carry on. If I go international I check it, because invariably I get somebody that doesn't speak good english that wants me to open the main and reserve and I have a big mess. It's just easier to check it going international. Then hold your breath....lol Blues, Nathan Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.
  18. Hmmm......That sounds like it'll be.......BEER!!!!! Blues, Nathan Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.

    Infinity

    I bought a used Infinity for my wife. It is a great rig. I also echo the customer service applause. Over time I've had some questions about certain things on the rig. They've always been super friendly, fast, and helpful with their responses. I personally jump a different container, but the Infinity's are great rigs, in my limited experience. Never heard a bad word about them. Blues, Nathan Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.
  20. Ironically enough, I have exactly 100 days til I leave Korea
  21. One of 'em is about 4 feet away and one of 'em is about 3000 miles away....and it's 6:05 PM here in Korea. Blues, Nathan Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.
  22. Yeah, that's funny.....but I care......really, I do...LMAO Blues, Nathan Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.
  23. Sounds to me like you'll find out who your true friends are. I hope it works out for you. Blues, Nathan Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.
  24. In addition to the above, I always look for what type aircraft the DZ has. A lot of sites don't have that and sometimes causes me to go somewhere else. Also, get linked into the DZ.com network and ground-rush.com network and there's a couple others where people look for links to DZs.

  25. How about New Orleans Skydiving Center that just opened? Haven't been there, but I saw this thread in places to jump. Sounds like they've got a caravan. Could be a good place. Blues, Nathan Blues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.
