  1. I have 99 jumps and line twists only once and that was just last week and then only a 360 twist. Got right out of it. I've often wondered if this happens more frequently to lighter jumpers? Its so common that I wonder at the fact that I have only had it one time. I cant believe that its because I'm such a great skydiver at 99 jumps __ My mighty steed
  2. Well then, travel east to Skydive Cross Keys and jump from a Skyvan or Super Otter for $17.00 a pop to 13,500 ft. Thats the regular jump rate now with no special deals. $13.00 on Wednesdays BTW, I would expect that a plane in Colorado would burn a lot more fuel getting to 13,500 AGL than the same one in NJ. Whats your field elevation there? 5000 ft? I would expect the price to be a few bucks more... __ My mighty steed
  3. I'm hoping for something along these lines. AND pie, too! Been waiting far too long for that pie (due to very slow start and a decade long layoff) and I'd be awfully disappointed if I had to forgo the "dessert" __ My mighty steed
  4. I would spare the world the sight of it and myself the possible pain. __ My mighty steed
  5. Damn Skymama, thats a big head for anyone, not just for a woman. You sure about that number cuz my head appears to be smaller than yours but would not fit into your helmet. Sure you dont mean 22 3/4? I have a 23 1/2 inch head and I wear glasses. I just got a FreeZR to demo in the mail yesterday. My preliminary (pre-jump) opinion is that this helmet rocks. I can make a direct comparison to the only other big melon helmet out there (Havok) since I had one of those. The FreeZR is a far nicer looking, more stylish, much bigger view area (you can barely see the helmet in peripheral view), sturdier, much more comfortable, and a LOT more padding so I feel this is a very safe helmet. Incidentally, I wore it around the house for 20 minutes with the face closed and it didnt fog up whether I was breathing through my nose or my mouth. As I say, I have not yet jumped with this puppy since it just arrived yesterday afternoon, but I think I have a winner and it most likely will be remaining in my custody BTW, it will go even larger than my head by changing the liner. I am wearing it as a "Large" but it goes to "Extra Large" advertised up to 24 3/8. Now THATS a big freakin head. For those of you with a large jaw, no prblem. This baby will work for ya. __ My mighty steed
  6. Just like the subject says. Next jump is #100. What do you suggest? Nothing too complex and naked is not an option PS This will be done from cessna 182 or 185 (or maybe even both, who knows ) __ My mighty steed
  7. My Tuesday kicked ass. I blew off work and got in a few jumps at Cross Keys and the weather was awesome! 9 in the porter is uncomfortable but its WAY better than my desk __ My mighty steed
  8. Yeah but what about that trash pack you did at the end of the day cuz you were tired and in a hurry to leave? I think its bad luck to NOT unpack that baby __ My mighty steed
  9. You will geta lot of responses saying you should "Ask your instructor" and also that you didnt give any information on which someone might offer an opinion. Like, what would your wing loading be under that 260? How many jumps? Stuff like that. You should really talk to your instructors and see what they recommend. They've seen you fly. __ My mighty steed
  10. He was using sarcasm You just misinterpreted it. __ My mighty steed
  11. I jump and I'm famous. Ok...so I'm not actually famous. I'm quite well known at work though... __ My mighty steed

    I'm furious

    This is as cryptic as the posts from packincathy a few weeks back. Nobody knows what you are talking about and some people are deleting their personal info in a panic for no real reason. If you are gonna put up a post like this please let us know what its about or its just meaningless gibberish. If you feel that you cant provide enough info to give your post any real meaning, then why post it at all? Please dont take offense, Michele. I'm not trying to add insult to the obvious injury that you are furious about, but how can we do anything about anything if you dont tell us anything other than you are furious about some nameless "thing" that happened to some nameless person that was somehow related to someones personal info being used inappropriately? __ My mighty steed
  13. A number is a number. 666 is the one between 665 and 667. I recomend exiting some type of aircraft, falling a bit, then opening your main, fly around some, then land somewhere in the landing area of your DZ. I know, I'm no fun at all. I dont think 13 means shit either __ My mighty steed
  14. I used the Krylon made for plastic and I've had very good results. I applied several coats to my pro-tec helmet (after thoroughly cleaning and roughing up the surface with fine grit sandpaper). Since painting its recieved a bunch of dings, bangs, and scrapes and I have not had any of the original surface show through at all. No chipping or peeling at all so far. Good stuff. Wears very well. __ My mighty steed
  15. I have a black belt in sarcasm. My style is unique I have yet to meet my match. Next time I'm in Tampa we will have to have a verbal sparring match and catch it on tape. Prepare to be bested, Sir Tuna! Then we can make some jumps and knock back some Cokes (I'm an alcoholic ) In the world of sarcasm, my Kung Fu is the best! __ My mighty steed
  16. Its just flash. Most people have the forsight to have a site that can be viewed without flash. Whoever is in charge of marketing there at Aerodyne is a putz for designing a site that only people with flash can view...

  17. Good thing I dont believe in the word "should" I'll be hitting 100 in just a week or two and there aint a chance in hell I'll be doing it (or any other) naked. The folks at the DZ should be thankful __ My mighty steed
  18. Welcome back I took 8 years off just returning this past November. I know how nervous I was! __ My mighty steed
  19. Blahr is now defunct. I always thought that it was a stupid name anyway. Now that I'm no longer a pooh-bah it doesnt seem theres any more reason to hang onto the name I've created this new account so you can send any nasty notes to ChrisL rather than Blahr PS. Football is still dumb __ My mighty steed
