  1. Well, I bought it....and now having jumped it on 4 jumps.....I LOVE IT! Thanks RWS and SD Deland. I'm happy that they had a stock rig that fit me. They also had it packed up and ready to jump within a couple hours. But the weather prevented that until today. I'll have to take some pictures and post them....I guess I owe beer now! Jordan Go Fast, Dock Soft.
  2. That was the landing I kind of dirfted back up....WOW ....was that what that was?? Jordan Go Fast, Dock Soft.
  3. Krisanne, it was good to meet you. I had fun in the class with you, as did Lisa. Great times, too bad we had crap weather. Have (or hope you had?) a safe flight home! Jordan Go Fast, Dock Soft.
  4. ....Damn how'd I miss that. I must have been jumping....stupid skydiving!!! Jordan Go Fast, Dock Soft.
  5. Great times in the CCC! Scotts a great teacher.....learned alot. Now I'm getting ready to head down to what sounds like, a kick ass party! At least Sunday looks good jumping wise. Now to decide whether or not to hang out and jump the boogie....or head back up here and do the jumps for the CCC. Either way, I'm very ready to jump!! Jordan Go Fast, Dock Soft.
  6. Yeah, I'm sitting in the restaurant here in SD Deland and its pouring. Actually getting ready to start the Canopy CC. However it supposed to clear between 10 and Noon or so. So I have my fingers crossed. NWFlyer and I will be at the party there tonight. I'll be jumping at Sebastian hopefully tomorrow. I wonder how many people braved shooting down there today?? Drive to Florida, the sunshine state, and it rains the whole time . Jordan Go Fast, Dock Soft.
  7. 550 milesQuote . That pretty damn close to the milage I had to drive. Mostly through the rain . I'm suprised we still made it down fairly quickly.... Jordan Go Fast, Dock Soft.
  8. Yeah, I'm getting that on there ASAP! Jordan Go Fast, Dock Soft.
  9. ....I just bought a new rig to. Damn I hope I keep standing my landings up!! The shoes I'm not worried about....but mud on a brand new rig Jordan Go Fast, Dock Soft.
  10. Good stuff! Yeah, hopefully we'll be good tomorrow. I was watching the weather and seems its gonna clear up tomorrow afternoon. So we should be good (knock on wood). Jordan Go Fast, Dock Soft.
  11. Gonna be a great time at Sebastian Sat night! I think we gotta go to the store to find Lisa(my wife) an outfit....Red's in the theme right?? So are you in FL now? I'm sitting here at the DZ eating and wishing it wasn't raining. It looks like it may clear up here in a bit....but I don't know how that'll work out. See ya tomorrow and the rest at the boogie!! Jordan Go Fast, Dock Soft.
  12. She was coming to tell me as I was walking back with the receipt . She thought she got the regular 20% and I got 22% off with them here. Didn't say anything about the ture discount she would have gotten. I ended up getting it for $2900. $2040 for the container. Has articulated harness, backpad, embroidery, freefly mod, pinstriping, leather hackey, and a couple other things. Ended up that I got the container for $1638 and $70 off all the options....and then the PDR for $860. I would have liked to go over to the RWS and have talked to them with Lisa's discount....but she didn't tell me in time. I'd already turned it over to the rigger (too bad she hasn't quite finished yet). The plus to this I guess is I'll be jumping it this afternoon if the weather clears up or tomorrow if not! But, I'll be in the market for a Sabre2 170 in the near future....so at least I know about that now! Thanks Gus!! Jordan Go Fast, Dock Soft.
  13. Okay...just shot over to RWS site and looked up the pricing with the options I know it comes with and it gave me a price of $2664. So that'd be $600 or more off there. Again, he hasn't given me the final quote yet....so I don't know what the final price is....but it should be close to that. I'm going to see what the final price comes to......and repost. Jordan Go Fast, Dock Soft.
  14. Yeah, looking out on the landing area.....the weather is crap. I'm gonna go to the tunnel I think !! Go tour PD and RWS. And possibly buy a new rig . Hopefully it'll be good enough for Hop n Pops tomorrow....I'm doing the CCC w/ Scott Miller tomorrow..... But Sunday looks good.....as does Monday. So I will get a few jumps in. And it did open at 8 I got here like 15 after and there were people around! Jordan Go Fast, Dock Soft.
  15. Actually....I'd be jumping it tomorrow. It's stock and the colors I'd want....I could get it packed and walk out of here with it right now. I'm only home for two weeks....but I've been wanting a new rig since before I got deployed. Good timing money wise.....colors are great.....plus I wouldn't have to jump my old uncomfortable rig..... Jordan Go Fast, Dock Soft.
  16. Okay, need some advice. I'm sitting here in Deland pondering buying a brand new M3 and PDR160. Gave me a price of around 2900 dollars. Haven't got the exact quote yet.... Sounds like an EXTREMELY good price. I think I'm getting the container for around 2000 and the PDR for 900ish. Here's the kicker....I got a wife and kids to take care of . I wouldn't go broke...but would be a little tight for a month or so. Wife says go ahead but still......I'd like to see what other people think. I guess I need justification ! What would you guys do? My current gear is from 1989....a Javelin with like 1500 jumps on it a Glide Path Maverick reserve with 3 deployments. The main is a Sabre 190 with 300ish jumps on it....I'm keeping the main and putting it in the Vector if I get it. The container is made for a 170 so it'd be tight....but leaves me room to go to a 170 and later a 150....so it'd last for a LONG time. I can't see being on a 150 for YEARS. Enough info....let me know what you guys/gals think. Jordan Go Fast, Dock Soft.
  17. Jordan Go Fast, Dock Soft.
  18. .....LOL, I don't necessarily mean when the jumping starts. Just when the gear shop and what not opens up. I've been to enough dz's to know jumping starts when there are enough people to make the load. Sorry for being vauge! Jordan Go Fast, Dock Soft.
  19. Okay, either I'm just an idiot or Delands website doesn't have their hours posted. Can anyone tell me what time things start rolling there in the morning? Jordan Go Fast, Dock Soft.
  20. Work sucks! You're going to be at the boogie down at SD Sebastian right? We'll be down there Sat night and jumping on Sun. Jordan Go Fast, Dock Soft.
  21. Well, hopefully the weather is good tomorrow! I just got here to Deland and am looking forward to jumping my a$$ off this weekend. Will shoot over to the DZ first thing tomorrow morning. Very much looking forward to the weekend!!
  22. I wanted to try and shoot up there the other day.....but according to mapquest, its a 3.5 hr drive from Charlotte. Still not a bad drive to make for the planes though (CASA)! Jordan Go Fast, Dock Soft.
  23. .....Damn babysitters!! Mine was calling every couple of minutes there at the end of the day.....so I couldn't hang out and socialize......if I could have stayed 10 more minutes I could have met her also.....Katiebear right?? Jordan Go Fast, Dock Soft.
  24. I second that. Definitely not enough skydivers around like that! I'm looking forward to next weekend, when I can spend the weekend at the DZ. I had to leave quickly today. Jordan Go Fast, Dock Soft.
  25. .....Thanks for reminding me! I can't believe I forgot....only got one though. Wednesdays must be slow for some reason. It's good to be home. Leaving for Florida tomorrow afternoon sometime....want to get some jumps in on Friday....but seems the bad weather is gonna hit friday rather than saturday....which is much better. But I'm sure I can find something else to do cough*skyventure*cough. See you down there.
