I had one kindof like that last night. I was in our C-182, just along for the ride for some reason, and I realized I had a rig on so decided to jump. No alti, nothin but shorts and a t-shirt and a rig. I eye-balled 3 grand, dumped and had time to make one turn and land. Then the DZO came over and gave me shit for dumpin so low. It was very weird, but I guess that's what happens when its been too cold to jump for the past month and a half. Live to Jump, Pull to Live, Lippy

Thanks guys, I don't mind advertising for somebody who sells good gear for cheap, as long as it is good gear. Live to Jump, Pull to Live, Lippy

Hey y'all, I'm wondering about buying gear here. I just confirmed my picking up a Sabre with a PD reserve, and now I'm looking at a container and a Cypress. Earlier today I was in contact with Ralph at Western Parachute Sales, and I hear he has some really good deals. I'm wondering if anybody here has dealt with him before, and is his gear usually so cheap for a particular reason. If anybody can give me any info on his operation I'd really appreciate it.

I had a pretty similar dream, but I just tracked like a mother-f*#ker, and ended up skimming lightly across the ground. It was spooky as hell. Live to Jump, Pull to Live Lippy

Stop yer whinin!! Last weekend as I checked the thermometer on jump run, it was -18*C at altitude. (I think that's about 0*F for you Yankees) It was then I realized I should really invest in a full face. Come to Alberta, and find the true meaning of COLD. Live to Jump, Pull to Live, Lippy

Come on Tee, I've known you long enough to know that you are neither sweet nor innocent Live to Jump, Pull to Live Lippy P.S. you goin to the Ranch this weekend?

I once saw a video of a guy who was pissed off cause his buddies got cleared for a 3-second delay and he was still on static. On a hanging exit from a C-206, he let go of the strut and went for his handles. It was pretty funny shit to see the instructor hauling in the SL bag with main still inside, and then the guy tells the JM that he had a mal. The dumb bastard could've gotten away with it if he'd waited another 3 seconds. The guy got to do his 'freefall', and he got sent the fuck home. Live to Jump, Pull to Live Lippy

What were the seven dirty words again? crash, die, burn-in, grounded, mal, dual-mal and funnel. Something like that, wasn't it? Live to Jump, Pull to Live Lippy

My Grandfather had a trick that always seemed to work for him...Get an orange hunting hat, attach it to a wall, and sit down with a bottle of rum. When you see two hats, go to bed. Old Grandpa had some good cures... Or maybe he was just an alcoholic? Live to Jump, Pull to Live Lippy

In Reply to: And as far as other Edmonchuckiens, I think Tee jumps at Westlock too I'm pretty sure she used to jump there, but she's moved to Calgary and jumps at the Ranch now. I was on a 4-way scramble team with her a couple of weeks ago and we won. I still can't get over that!! Live to Jump, Pull to Live Lippy

In Reply to: Isn't Canada's method a combination of either tandem and aff or static line and aff? I could have sworn that I read somewhere that Canada uses a three tandem, 5 aff system, but I have been known to be wrong.... ___________________________________________________ At the DZ I jump at, you can do one static line, then move to AFF. I have heard of DZ's in Ontario, Canada, where they don't do any IAD or static line, just tandem and tandem progression to AFF. Live to Jump, Pull to Live Lippy

I'm an electronics tech. After last night, I feel like I've drank a couple for everybody. The worst part is, I left in such a hurry I forgot my keys, and spent this morning hungover and staggering around Calgary trying to find my roomate. Live to jump, pull to live Lippy

Hey y'all, I havn't really chatted with anybody here very much, but just want to tell everybody I can: I gotta job!!! Now I can buy a rig, do lots more jumps, and now I'm going drinking!!! Live to jump, pull to live Lippy

About a month ago I found a good (but slightly painful) skydive simultation. On the way back to the DZ from a pub, with six drunken jumpers in a van, somebody inevitably yells 'Doooooor', and people started climbing out on the gravel driveway. The van is lacking a proper step and a strut, but it's a good way to practice your PLF

I totally know what you're talking about when you say: But I've been rationalizing for a year and can't overcome it. It is only getting worse! I was thinking the same thing right after I graduated college last June, and the DZO was looking for a packer, only for a couple of weeks. 'Should I take the job and put offf my serious job search, or just wait and live at the DZ some other time?' I took the job, and the DZ quickly turned from the weekend playground I'd known it as to a job. A mere 10 jumps in a span of 3 weeks. If you want to move to the DZ to work, realize that it's probably going to be work, but hell, could you ask for a better office? "Seek ye first the pilot chute, and good things shall come frome there"
