  1. Don't sign it....your giving up your first born. Now if it was the wife......i'd say sign it.
  2. I think the cover shot of the Birdman flock looks great. Kudo's to all involved
  3. It's funnier what they say after watching a video. Everytime they will ask what makes the jumper shoot back up when they open.
  4. Yes. It's tough work though. One of the packers did 105 in one day in the middle of summer, but she cleared $US800 for her efforts. . If i packed 105 rigs in one day i would'nt be able to walk for a month. The back just aint what it used to be.
  5. I did a Mr Bill back on my 500th jump. We used a friend of mines tandem rig and i put the harness on backwards underneath my rig. When we exited, he threw out, and when open he relaesed me and i climbed up on his shoulders. When we got to about 5000 feet i did a swan dive off his shoulders and opened at 3000. Now the DZO knew what we were going to do and he told me afterwards that there was a grandma there who was going to watch her grandaughter do her first tandem on the next load, and that she was watching. He said that she thought we were doing a reguler tandem and that when i jumped off that she screamed out, "Oh my god.....he dropped him"
  6. The first time i took my son to the WFFC and i think he was about 12 at the time. He watched a bunch of jumpers land, and then ask me "why do all these people want to dress like Elvis?" And i told him that was not the case, and that those were booties. He said, "well they look like those Elvis suits"
  7. I'm confused also because his links seem to support what we are saying. I'm missing something here.
  8. Are you saying he does'nt own a Mig? If you are, i beg to differ. Not only that, but if you think he only owns one L-39, you're only off by a factor of 20 or so. Come on guys, make a bet!!! Person who is wrong does not post for a week. I would bet that he owns a Mig, and not only that, more than one. So i'm up for a bet.

  10. It's easy to explain, IT's JUST FUN.....but i advise you to have extra vacation time, because it always takes me extra time to re-coup from the WFFC, before i go back to work.
  11. I've bought all kinds at Para Gear, but i also got a nice Canopy one at Skydive Chicago a few years ago. Don't know if they still have them.
  12. Just keep practicing, you'll be a big hit in prison. They call it Tossing the Salad.
  13. I'm getting real confused here, did skinnyshrek and girlfalldown use to date?
  14. Oh no, don't do that, i'm just asking because of what is posted on the Perris web-site. I have heard no offical statement released from Rumor Control yet.
  15. It would also be a good idea to get permission from the camera flyer if there is one on the jump, because his/her safety is at risk also and they have to keep their camera trained on the customer and can't be looking for others.
  16. I noticed that on the Perris web-site it says the jet will be at Rantoul, but it's not listed on the WFFC site. I know Don is probably pretty leary about announcing it untill he 100% sure because of what happened a couple of other years and i understand that. I just wondered if anyone else has heard any info.
  17. It reminds me of the announcers on the World Poker Tour. I get a kick out of listening to them sometimes and sometimes i like to just listen to the show while i'm on the computor and not watching. You hear them say things like, "Well, Annie Duke has a Ace Jack Off suit" and the other guy says, "but what she don't know, but we do because we have the WPT cam is that Phil has the Nuts" Then the other guy says, "well, she'll know in a minute if he goes All-In"
