Finally... reality TV worth watching! MTV is debuting a new series called "The Osbournes" chronicling the daily lives of Ozzy & Co. I've watched god knows how many interviews with him and I'm always cracking up. The brief snippet they had online was pretty damn funny. Show is on MTV at 9:30 Central. Ozzy... Ozzy....Ozzy... Ozzy.... "Zero Tolerance: the politically correct term for zero thought, zero common sense."

The grips aren't really an issue. The thing about RW suits is that they're generally more form-fitting than a freefly suit. You really need the bagginess (especially when starting) to catch air. If the RW suit has booties it'll be especially tough. airdrew's suggesting of using sweats is a good one. I wore sweats for quite some time before I finally got a freefly suit. If you're just starting out with freefly you'll be wanting to learn to sitfly first. That means find a *really* baggy sweatshirt and something a little tighter... maybe jeans... for pants. That will place the drag up higher and make learning to sitfly a little easier. When you start playing with head down just reverse it. Tighter up top and baggy bottoms. At some point, if you decide you want to be serious about freeflying, you'll want to invest in a suit. It really makes a huge difference, but in the meantime the above will get you going.

Glad you're OK. That's like my worst nightmare. Well, that or getting hit by a plane in freefall. "Zero Tolerance: the politically correct term for zero thought, zero common sense."

OK gang, I want everyone to just take some nice long breaths in & out a few times. There. Much better, eh?

Been there, done that, bought the the t-shirt. Sorry to hear that, I know how bad it sucks. Hope it doesn't last long. Best thing to do is dust off the resume and start hitting monster.com. Best of luck! "Zero Tolerance: the politically correct term for zero thought, zero common sense."

Hey Lisa, what bar are you guys in? Is that a lounge at Perris or somewhere else? "Zero Tolerance: the politically correct term for zero thought, zero common sense."

Well, technically, fall rate matters. And fall rate is a factor of weight & drag. So yeah, the heavier you are, the more drag you need and the lighter you are, the less drag (and sometimes more weight) you need. "Zero Tolerance: the politically correct term for zero thought, zero common sense."

Another Nigerian money scam huh? One of my co-workers got something a lot like that back in 1994. Only difference in the previous one was that they said they needed a $100,000 "deposit" to free up the funds and asked you to personally bring the money to them in Nigeria to seal the deal. A few people actually flew to Nigeria and were promptly shot & robbed. Duh. "Zero Tolerance: the politically correct term for zero thought, zero common sense."

I guess I should refrain from my idle banter and be polite to our new member! Welcome aboard! You'll meet lots of wondeful people here. I've met tons of people I truly consider friends here, and many of them I have yet to meet in person. "Zero Tolerance: the politically correct term for zero thought, zero common sense."

Now don't make us go and organize the 300-way world record! "Zero Tolerance: the politically correct term for zero thought, zero common sense."

And back then the RW folks were considered the renegades of the skydiving world. Some things never change. Something about them baggy suits that makes us all "freaky"! "Zero Tolerance: the politically correct term for zero thought, zero common sense."

Yeah he's not talking about the 120-way also being the record attempt. I htink all he's saying is that we'll have more people and planes around so that would be a good time to try it. I still think we could break it with our regular weekend crowd though. 20-way anyone? "Zero Tolerance: the politically correct term for zero thought, zero common sense."

Does anybody know if he fun jumps at all? If so where? "Zero Tolerance: the politically correct term for zero thought, zero common sense."

I apparently posted that Linux desktop photo when Bossman was moving stuff around so it prolly got lost in the shuffle. Here it is again. "Zero Tolerance: the politically correct term for zero thought, zero common sense."
