    Don't worry, we'll be there. And speaking of signing up, is there a registration for this boogie yet?

    Yeah, this is why I gave up wingsuits and went back to freeflying. In the freefly world you never get kicked off a load, the coaches are never asshole know-it-alls, and they all treat the young and up commer women jumpers with care and the utmost respect. You'll never see an attractive girl put into dangerous freeflying situations just because some skygod wants a piece of ass.

    Too true about it being about allies, but the US's involvement certainly sped up the demise of Germany by a large margine. And if the Nazis had developed the bomb before a non-US-helped defeat could've been finished, the situation would've drastically changed. Would the UK still have held fast if London was nuked?

    Yes, but without marriage young couples couldn't spent $15-20k on a ceremony to announce that they're together to people that already know.

    Maybe you just look really old, the Florida sun does that But I've always been surprised how often you see younger chicks with much older guys in this sport. You see it way more often that you do in the general population.

    34/20/40 I like round numbers.

    Yeah, tandem videos have pretty much permanently burned me for certain songs.

    If the DZ is in a wide open place with good outs, I'd say the skydive. Just teach the student to PLF the landing.

    Homestead is closest, Clewiston isn't too far away. If you can make the trip up to Zhills for New Years, do it as there's a wild weekend going on there. It's about a 4 hour trek from where you're at. Sebastian is also a really nice nearby(2 hour) DZ and has some stuff going on this weekend. Crosskeys invasion goes on til the 3rd there, so there should be plenty of jumpers still there.

    I started in on my PHI with around 260 jumps after 10 jumps in a GTI. It really wasn't any harder to fly.

    LOL. I bought my guns when I lived in Indiana. State law required the records of my purchase be destroyed after a short time. I own a Glock 19C an a Glock 26. They're fun little 9mms.

    I've heard this as well. I slip into my leg straps first, do my chest strap loosely, then tighten up my legs. I keep it like that til I finish up my wingsuit prep at 8 or 9k or so, which is when I tightend down the chest strap. I could jump with it loose any time before that if I needed to, the deployments are just more comfortable with it tightened up.

    PC or laptop?

    MarkM replied to Mike111's topic in The Bonfire

    PC because I like to game on it. But I've been getting back into the console scene for that, so I could see myself just moving to a laptop permanently at some point.

    They're sort of sandals, "hybrids" actually. I always thought they were a pretty good option for skydivers that like to wear sandals. They have good coverage but leave the top open for airflow.

    Geekin it in the birdman pose. Now hike down to Florida and flock it with all the other birdies down here for the winter.

    Not allowed only if they're from Deland. The ones from ZHills are fine

    I'd buy them seperately. If you're going to buy a new brand camera, I'd probably buy from http://www.dbuys.com/Product_list/?000006 or a local store before buying off of ebay. If you're buying off of ebay, you might as well bargain hunt and get last year's model used (HC20, HC30 or HC40) and save some money.

    Ok, but shouldn't you post yours ? www.myspace.com/jumppackrepeat Saw Jessica on your friends list. Is she still jumping these days? http://www.myspace.com/dasdingo

    Z1, used it for RW, FF and wingsuits. I think it's one of the better designed full faces around and a good looking helmet, but also very cheaply made. I mostly went full face because I've worn braces since AFF and didn't want my then beginner face-plant landings to screw them up. Just got a camera and looking into a FF2, Rawa or Bonehead to fit that.
