    There's a guy at my dropzone that finally decided his Oxgyn was an open faced helmet after it broke off several times. (This was in the sky though).

    I had a gift certificate so I ordered straight from Wings. Options I got were: Stainless Steel Deluxe Pin Stripe #6 and #7 Quilted Backpad Mid Flap Stripes Collapsible Pilot Chute Hackey Handle Custom Color Cutaway Handle Pillow Reserve Handle I haven't spoken with Ankie yet to confirm everything though. She had the day off yesterday. Edit to add: I also got an articulated harness, but I didn't really consider that as an "option" Also, dealers in your area: http://www.skydivewings.com/dealers/western.htm The two at Elsinore are Ground Zero "Paraphernalia" LLC The Gear Store at Elsinore

    I like rig #1 as well. I just ordered my new Wings yesterday! Mine looks kinda like your first one, only with yellow trim tape and yellow on the mid flap stripes. I'd post a pic but I'm computer stupid.

    I got 545. And the deer really like beer too.

    Yes there was a post about it a week or two ago. I think it may have been in the Bonfire. I'm too tired to do a search right now though.

    do u think they wanna ship a rig out for the YEAR? You probably wouldn't want our gear anyways. We've got 7 Navigator 260's and 1 Sabre 230 and 1 PD 230. They're big freaking canopies. On the other hand I've been renting since I started jumping and have now paid $75 in gear rental. I can't imagine how I would have stayed in the sport if I had to pay gear rental per jump/day.

    $25 per semester. Yes I said semester.

    /2/0 Was supposed to make my hundredth with IFallFast this weekend, but he messed up his ankle and I messed up some other things and I ended up sitting around the house all day Sunday.

    I pack mine right-left and I'm pretty sure all the other Wings I've seen have been packed like that too. Gus A guy at my dropzone packs his left-right. He doesn't seem to have any problems with it.

    I would much rather date a jumper. I tried dating a whuffo and it just didn't work out. A lot of it had to do with the fact that he didn't want to be involved in my jumping at all.
  11. SpeedyGonzales
    As far as we know no one has yet. We're trying to find out more details about it now.

    We offer tandems every weekend.

    The only thing though is that he's not doing it at a college without a DZ within 100 miles. He's doing it at a college that has a long standing and fairly organized operation. It's not that we're just a club that operates at another dropzone. We're a university club that operates it's own dropzone. It honestly wouldn't bother me if he was going somewhere that didn't have a dropzone. But he's going to an area where there is a dropzone. And most of all, the selfish part of me is saying he's taking money straight out of my pocket, even if it's just for a weekend.

    0:8:1 Did 8 awesome jumps this weekend including a 10 point 3 way and my first hop and pop from 10 K.
  15. SpeedyGonzales
    I was the one crazy person that said they'd go to pack. But that's because I've done that on several occasions already. I like hanging out and learning things and meeting new people. I learned how to pack at a boogie last year.

    I check DZ.com on my breaks at work. Not actually working, but still at work. If I were to bring something up in the middle of the break room, I'd get fired.

    I was having the same problems with hotmail. It was pissing me off and I couldn't get the jump club's listserv e-mails anymore, so I switched e-mail providers.

    I told you that slot was yours if you wanted it, but you told me to take it. No more complaining for you. I'm supposed to be the whiner. And thanks again for picking me up on the other side of the river.

    :9:2 Made 9 awesome jumps this weekend! Owed beer for my first time landing on the other side of the river and also for my first 8 way! Beer has already been paid as I bought the keg for this weekend.

    I'm a little confused. Why are you only doing 5 continents? I know Antartica is cold, but what's the other cold one? Australia- Not cold there Europe- Never been there, but don't think it's that cold Africa- Not cold there either Asia- Some places are cold, but on the same general latitude as Europe North America- Live here, get's kinda cold in the winter, otherwise pretty nice South America- South of North America, on the Equator, not cold there either

    Your poll still says porn though.

    It took me longer than 25 jumps to get my A and I progressed on static line as well. Although I was having problems landing near the DZ, let alone on it. I had some problems with the stuff in the air, but the thing that kept me from getting my A was the 5 jumps needed landing < 20 m from the peas.

    Ok, I was supposed to go to Maryland with I guy I was dating, but we broke up, so I have a week off from July 16th-24th and need to figure out what to do with it. I'm a college student though, so I don't have unlimited resources.
  24. SpeedyGonzales
    1:1:1 1 jump this weekend. 1 cutaway, which was my first, so 1 case owed. And the psycho chicks voicemails are great aren't they!
  25. SpeedyGonzales
    I got dd'd from IFallFast as well, also talked to Adrock. Although that was last night.
