  1. Folks can read part of the commentary in this thread
  2. I suggest you re-read my post. I was merely stating that it works here. Gus..we'll certainly look forward to having you here
  3. By the looks of your avatar I would say you're already green. Course there's green with envy, jealousy comes in that colour too, sea sickness, throne hugging.... take your pick!
  4. No it doesnt. Check the CF forum
  5. First person down does work. In the case of Skydive Arizona, if you dont like the pattern set by the first person down, you are welcome to land off the landing area. The wind here changes direction frequently, and when there are no wind days the direction is generally specified landing to the west. Our main landing area of course is set up like a runway. You may land east/west or west/east only no matter what the winds are doing (generally cross-wind landings) with the first person landing according to the prevailing winds at the time. By using the first person down rule, it cuts down the risk of canopy collisions. We do of course have an alternate landing area where first person down sets the pattern into the wind. Again if people don't like the pattern, they are welcome to land off. Skydive Arizona of course is different than many dz's in that there are so many outs. There are instances where people come in the wrong direction after the first person has landed. With the amount of jumps made here, its going to happen, but is isnt as frequent as one would think given the volume of skydives made here annually. The other factor is that the landing area is generally monitored. A person will get spoken to once. A second infraction will find them landing at the South (alternate) area. Think of it this way...airplanes landing on runways. Seems to work pretty well for them...and pretty well for us.
  6. One would think they'd get the spelling of Amy's last name correct. UGH....we just call her "Amy buy me a vowel) (her camera flyer hasnt been with her for 3 years either..just a point of clarification)
  7. As I posted earlier, Omniskore will go live today. I do know that Freestyle has completed round 4 but only scored through round 2. I will be checking throughout the day prior to my arrival in Perris. Once again for those that want to send good vibes and well wishes to the teams, you may do so here [email]manifest@skydiveperris.com[url]
  8. Lisa, Thank you. You will always remain our one and only "Skybytch". I am looking forward to hearing tales of your journey as you move forward.
  9. On average it costs more to fly into Tucson than Phoenix. Try checking rental cars off the airport. They generally have a shuttle to the rental site, and most times are less expensive. The other option is to take the J & M shuttle from Phoenix to Eloy. Cost is about $75 each way less if there is more than 1 person. That information can be found here
  10. A friend of mine has those in red and royal. LOL Too funny...my neck hurts too!
  11. Very little but this is what I know so far in Freestyle after round two. 1. Resident Eloy 2. Flew-id 3. (sorry don't know) 4. Nearly Normal 5. (who ever isnt in 3rd) Scores will post tomorrow on Omniskore. I am heading over to Perris tomorrow on the Otter. I'll give you the final after round 7. Cheers! B2
  12. Not this year...somewhere along the way I've lost my life! I am hoping to get it back in the near futureLOL We do intend to compete in 2005 in hopes of receiving an invitation to the World Cup and a spot on the US Team for the World Championships 2006 in Germany .
