:9:0 1 Tandem. Got to play student so one of our TIs that just returned from the sandbox could get recurrent. Boy it felt weird to get on the plane without my rig. Or to look at it a different way, my rig went from 23 pounds to 235 pounds. Welcome back Rob.

My brother is into the ultra events like this. He likes the stuff at altitude, like the Leadville 100 and the Western States 100. One of these years I'm going to work as support crew for him. I just tired thinking about it. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

Just get a good sunscreen. The oils/lotions just feel to thick and greasy. I prefer the spray on liquid type. Banana Boat Ultra Sunblock Quick Dry Spray is nice. Just don't apply right after shaving, because it can burn just a little bit. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

I had inspiring coaches that were so much fun to jump with on the way to getting my "A". I can still remember how K-Bob's face lit up when we nailed a jump, because I had a grin on my face and was hopping up and down like a school kid. I got my coach rating so I could enjoy/relive through my "students" the feeling I felt after having that type of successful dive. Heck, I learn something new every time I jump with a "student". Thanks for a wonderful post. I need to buy K-Bob a beer when I see him this weekend. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

I had two ex girlfriends that were INTJ. I should have learned after the first one. INTJs are the project managers of the world. Only about 2-4% of people are this type. I'm the spontaneous type that loves to talk/argue and never quite finishes anything because something else is so much more interesting. They needed their "quiet time" and loved everything planned out to the last minute. They made lists to keep track of their lists. I'm surprised we lasted as long as we did. 50 donations so far.

I have never been fully evaluated, but have been told by people who use the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator that I am an ESTP. I've read up a bit about it and think it sounds about right. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

Tried um. Meh. I prefer plain chips with real heat. Carrol from Byron makes fresh salsa that is awesome. Not too hot at first, but it builds and then hits you like a freight train. Bam!

I got lucky. I put in my order and then I saw the cut-in lats on Barefoot Dave's rig while I was down in San Diego. I tried on the rig and wanted them. I sent an email to Kelly & just made it before they cut the container. I'm so glad I did because they are so comfortable. I'm not exactly sure if they can be retrofit into an existing rig. Go to their website and ask or send a PM, Kelly's screen name is KellyF. He or Tony normally will get back to you pretty quickly. Did I say just how much I love my rig?

Dude, that sucks. I borrowed a buddy's suit and ended up putting a small hole in it when a tandem student ran in front of me when I was landing. Choice was to hit the student or have a not so graceful slide in. I paid to have the small hole patched and sent a nice bottle of scotch back with the suit for the wear and tear I put on it. I say name the offender. A little shame will go a long way in behavior modification. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

I'm not so sure that NoPush would agree with you there. Everyone played their roles perfectly. He has nothing to be ashamed of. To all of you that have not had the pleasure of seeing this little tribute to a mighty warbird, you will just have to wait for your own opportunity because it should be experienced in person, not described over the internet. 50 donations so far.

What a great weekend. From the pre boogie party at "The 6" (toe licking and all), the incredible location, fun jumps, and killer feast, you slackers missed an awesome weekend. I'm glad you enjoyed the blender drinks. They were fun to share. Lisa, fantastic job and very nice reinactment of the Lancaster Bomber. Thanks to Dave for providing the planes on such short notice and to Mike for the feast. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

I had issues with my arch and legs during AFF as well. I would practice on the ground, but lifting my legs and chest off the creeper didn't feel the same as the pressure from the air during freefall. My instructor had me lay on the floor on my stomach in front of a couch. I had my feet resting up on the couch and my hands on a couple of the couch cushions. I would then put just a little pressure on my feet and hands to get into a good arch (knees and chest lifted off the ground just a bit, belly relaxed on the floor). I would hold this for a little while and then relax. I would repeat it and each time I would hold it for a little longer. I developed the muscle memory of how much pressure I should feel during freefall on my feet/legs and arms for a good arch. It worked wonders for me. A second thing that worked for me and I use with my students. Take a nice deep breath and exhale just before you leave the plane. Holding your breath makes you tense and your arch gets stiff. You can't sense the pressure on your arms/legs like you should to maintain stability. Lastly, leave the plane with a big smile on your face. It's a lot easier to have fun in the air if you are all ready smiling.

Happy early B day Steve. We'll DD you from Star farms so you know how much fun we are having. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

Bitte.

It will be almost exactly the same distance to Hollister or Byron. They both fly a King Air. Both are fun DZs. Hollister has a van ride that brings you back from an off field landing area(15 minute ride). Byron has no running water, just porta potties. I enjoy them both. 50 donations so far. Give it a try.

I was at Perris this last weekend. Square 1 had a box with a couple different styles. Short wedge pillow and the type that looks like a triangle made of webbing. Under $20 if I remember correctly. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
