  1. With Westside Skydivers opening this spring, we have a great variety of DZ's in the area. All are very good, offering a variety of ways to get involved in the sport. Take a trip to each one and look around. They lay out like this... North of the Twin Cities… Skydive Minnesota (Milaca,MN) http://www.skydiveminnesota.org South of the Twin Cities… Minnesota Skydivers Club (Waseca, MN) http://www.mnskydive.com East of the Twin Cities… Skydive Twin Cities (Baldwin, WI) http://www.skydivetwincities.com ....................................Skydiver Wissota (Chippewa Falls, WI) http://www.skydivewissota.org West of the Twin Cities… Westside Skydivers (Winstead, MN) http://westsideskydivers.com I think you'll find that the problem is not which one to jump at, but rather, which one don't I want to go to this week. All have great people, great facilities, and unlimited potential for fun. Welcome to the sport! Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  2. However, the side effect would be you can't hear them???? I don’t mean to blast you, I’m just curious why you wouldn't collapse the slider on a night jump?
  3. Bring on all the stupid questions and the stupid answers!!! That's how we learn. As long as some of the more experienced people stick around to oversee this mess, the correct message will surface. In the meantime, us newbs keep learning, we stay involved and, most importantly, we stay interested.
  4. I like the camera idea... Whatever you do, get it on video! When he's not looking, use a black sharpie to write "Cops Suck" on the back of his drivers license. Eventually, he'll get pulled over and have to dig for his license. Won't he be suprised then! Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  5. Oh, that was a low blow! I think you owe Toyota an appology. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

  7. A really dirty trick that I learned from my wife... now, keep in mind, this works but it's really dirty, underhanded, psycological warfare… Kill him with kindness!
  8. He'll just drop it on his foot, break a toe, and sue you. Sorry, but this guy should take up cribbage. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  9. There's a simple solution... Jump at both DZ's! Spend a little more $$$. Make twice as many friends and end up with two Home Drop Zones, not to mention, twice as many people to jump with at Boogies. Sorry, but this one is a "NO BRAINER".

  10. Cool suite. What size is it and what do you want for it? Try the classifieds or E-Bay. Quickest way to find it's value is to try and sell it. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  11. If you're worried about it, it's and issue! Talk to your insturctors and think about using a student rig for a few jumps until YOU think it's a good idea to jump your canopy. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  12. Yah, that's me on the right blowing my nose in my hand! Ok if I print and frame this? Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  13. Only gay want -a be cowboys ride Kawasaki's! Did that work? So I secretly want to be a gay cowboy???! Nataly... I think that was aimed at me. Skyrider... Keep telling yourself that as those Kawi's blast by you. And stop sending me those PM's, I told you I don't date guys that ride big twins!

  14. Hell, it was the bowlers that suggested I take up skydiving!
  15. OK. It seems to me that you're making an effort to be an up front business. Good for you. Not everyone will like it. Granted! But after the whole slumride fiasco, we'll be watching..... I've watched really good (larger DZ) manifesters run ragged answering phones while trying to also run manifest. For them, this may work. Smaller DZ's may not need this service. For them, this may not be a good deal. One man's garbage is another man's gold. I applaud your desire to open and run this business. Not to mention your right to do so. Just be mindful not to get greedy and turn into a skamride clone. Good luck with the business effort. As always... IMHO Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  16. How to annoy a crappy roommate, I need ideas! Just be yourself!! Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  17. Aprilia looks nice, but I'd ask about that big Kawi right behind it! For less money you'd have a lot more bike. But, remember, I'm just an old Kawi guy. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

  19. Are you offering your services as a "Web Presence" middleman? I'm just wondering? Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  20. Wow, looks really nice so far. I recommend Partal mold wax as a release wax. Also, Partal spray on mold release makes things come apart very nicely. Also, Express Composites now sells a Carbon/Kevlar hybrid cloth. Very cool stuff and you may want to look into it. It combines the rigidity of carbon with the strength of Kevlar. Plus, it looks cool as hell. Keep posting pictures. Thanks. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  21. LED = Light Emitting Diode Diodes (including light emitting diodes) are devices that only allow electricity to flow in one direction. An LED must be connected to a power source with some form of resistance in series with the LED. If the LED is connected directly to a source with forward bias, the LED will be destroyed. Just connecting an LED backwards will not damage it. After Breadboarding an LED circut, I have my students turn the LED around backwards to see what will happen. It will not damage the LED, but will disrupt the circut. Now, should I do my lecture on OHMS law? Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
  22. ........ because.... he wants it for free? Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

  24. I should have dug a little farther back into history. Yes, that is correct. 368 jumps, but, look at the poll numbers. Over 50 % guessed less than 100. We're getting a bit cynical, aren't we? When I read this add my first thought was…. How many jumps? I have to say, I was surprised to see this high a number. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."
