    Very interesting. I was born in Guthrie, OK (1951).

    I also jumped this fantastic airplane (Mike Mullins') in 1989 at Couch Freaks and 1990 at Grandpa's Jumpfest in Albert Lea, MN.

    I recently got the Crossfire 2 after hearing many good things about it from other Crossfire 2 owners. They were right! I really love the soft, on-heading openings. The flight characteristics and landings are good also.

    I got mine in November and I have been very happy with it. It's very comfortable. I got it with the magnetic riser covers it works well so far. Construction looks to be solid and I think it will last a long time.

    ***vimeo.com/56653572 Any others that have made similar videos. Very nice! Most are cute ladies. You must have seniority at your DZ. (LOL)

    I was on a jump like this a long time ago at my home DZ. It was a level 1 or 2 jump out of a Porter and I was main side jm. My partner forgot to take off his seat belt. The student made such a smooth exit that we really didn't miss him. He swooped down to us at the bottom end of the jump and when I caught a glimpse of him coming in, my first thought was "Where the hell did that guy come from?". It made for a good laugh later on.

    How about putting a front floater handle on it for Bruce! (LOL)

    One of my favorites was Mike Mullin's Helio Stallion back in the day. I haven't seen one in a very long time.

    I am sorry to hear about this. I remember as being a class act. I have friends who are still jumping Zute Suits after all these years.

    This is an interesting topic and made me think about the best skydiver I knew but never had a chance to jump with. That would be Jack "Wildman" Wallace. He was jumping in E. Troy, WI when I started and he was a 1st class relative worker when many were still trying to figure it out. I missed jumping with him because he had a terrible work injury that left him paralyzed. I hope he's alive and well.

    That has got to be one of the scariest skydiving photos I've ever seen.

    Nick Furchner is a dentist who skydives. I believe he's in Reno, Nevada.

    From an old Jump Shack ad: At 2,000 feet, the last thing you need is pretty gear!

    What's the word? Did they set a new record?

    Hey! I remember having one of those shirts back in the day!

    Watching that reminds me of an incident many years ago when I was on a demo team with 3 friends. We had a demo into mall parking lot with a tight landing area on a hot, no-wind day. One my buddies did a low turn and slammed into the side of a Winnebago RV. Luckily, he wasn't hurt too bad. It earned him the well-deserved nickname Wile E. Coyote!

    I remember this like it was yesterday. My number was 348. My best friend's number was 1. Fortunately for him, an injury from his high school football days saved his bacon.

    I remember making 6 static lines. It would have been 5 but I ran out of daylight before I could make my hop-n-pop. This caused me to have to make an extra static line the next time I came back.

    It's been some time since I've seen anything about the Sensei canopy. What can you owners tell me about it's performance?

    With AAD: Hope for the best. Without AAD: Walk into the light.

    About two years ago, I was called for jury duty in S. Florida (Broward County) and actually looked forward to it. When the selection process began, I was apalled. After hearing people practically come right out and say that they would say anything to get out of it, I hope that I am NEVER in a position where my fate has to be decided by a jury.

    Any news, pictures, or video of the POPS record attempts?
