Now Chuckie....the point I was making is that ya got get back in the saddle!

I dunno about that hon...but it surely pays to practice all kinds of scenerios and emergency procedures.... xoox

2 days ago while coming in on final, a visitor on my left decided to do sweeping s- turns across the main landing area. I was of course the low man, but needed to get out of her way as she appeared to be oblivious. It was windy, and I knew according to the wind direction, where the clean air was going to be, and it wasn't where I was going to land!! I ended up catching rotors off of the packing area, and it began to collapse my canopy. Guess it wasn't my turn...I managed to land the canopy 2 feet from the fense.....and yeah...on the wrong side of the beer line! Training day jump 1...nice skydive until....my stiletto decides to be a spinetto....I went for my handles since it was beginning to dive and then...I took a deep breath and relaxed my entire body....tada! The little tart spins herself in the other direction and I have plenty of altitude left. Training day jump 2... Great jump....nice sweet opening on the same stiletto that I had cursed on the prior jump....I collapse my slider and pull it down behind my head as usual and I am under a nice flying canopy...until....I see out of the corner of my left eye a line flapping where there shouldn't be one. I do a control check...damn it! The kill line from my slider has entangled itself in my steering lines (this is the second time this has happened on two different canopies, one with the slider stowed up and this one)...I checked to make sure that I had plenty of altitude and worked at getting the damn thing out. I landed my canopy with no problems. Now I am thinking to myself.....self maybe the universe is trying to tell you something? Nah! So the next time you see me flying feel free to laugh....that slider and those kill lines ain't goin' no where babay! xoxo BB

Couldn't be done without a little help from my friends...thanks to all of YOU for coming out to play. xoxox BB

Bytch~ Wishing you all that you wish for. Happy Birthday Babay! oxoxo B~Squared

Sorry darlin' my dance card is full... Diva and Arthur all the info including jump prices is listed in the PUB. $14 jumps from the 22nd - 26th. Life is good.....

Chopchop~ You suck! But in the nicest possible way...of course Have a wonderful adventure with our Skymama, she's the bomb babay! oxox B~Squared

For now you need to get them off the site. I will have some specialty shirts for sale at the boogie to support the US Teams (both artistic and RW events) Yeah new and improved BTFU shirts for those that mised out last time. Don't forget you'll receive a tee shirt when you register for the boogie. Cheers! BB

ATTENTION! Ok now that I have it please...if you are even thinking of coming to this event I need to know. Please check the lists in the pub, if you're not on one of them and need to be please let me know viaPMThis includes those of you that jump at Perris on a regualr basis. The tee-shirt order needs to be placed and I want to ensure that we have the correct amount. Also take note that Mirage will have a rep at our event to answer any questions that you may have. Cheers everyone!

Just a side note...maybe something for everyone to think about. If you haven't learned how to fly and land your rear risers please do so. Remember that the kill lines on your slider are also something that need attention, you don't want those wrapped around your steering lines.

The official report from Bryan Burke on Holly's incident has been posted in the incident forum. Wishing you all blue skies and soft landings. B~Squared

This is also why there will be groups with Airspeed working on 4-6-8 ways at this years Holiday Boogie. Then maybe it can build, but more on that later.... BEEEEEEEE the Banana!!!!

Oh Nate BTFU already....just tell em ya gotta go! Labor Day was a blast and we're gonna do it up again only bigger! Now about that toy you had when I was landing today....you only WISH dude! Bwahhhhhh

A record attempt? Oh wait I thought you said....Vrw

Ohhhh make mine a Breve...I need tha fat

Bwahhhh well if you are....I'll see you when you get there!

LOL yeah and my Mother would say... The road to hell is paved with good intentions... oxox BB

*bump* Okay folks getting down to the wire here..and I need something from those of you planning on attending. If you have jumped at Perris please PM me with your full name (not your screen name) and your USPA number. This will help in the waiver process. If you have not jumped in Perris please review the post in the pub regarding the waiver process. Please check to ensure that your reserve is in date so that you aren't faced with any surprises Looking forward to seeing you soon! Duece...you're gonna have to ply me with coffee iffin' ya want me to stay up past 8:00 pm. Bwahhhhhh xoxox B~Squared

I bought all new gear after obtaining my "A" license. Course..that's when I didn't skydive for a living

The boogie is next month..May 22-26th. Going to be a nice 70ish...not exactly sunburn weather. There will be many humble skydivers for you to meet....some of them world champions, some of them week-end skydivers. Whatever the case may be perhaps the opportunity hasnt presented itself, and therefore perception is askew. Then again....I may be wrong. Mike McGowan, Greg Gasson and Dan BC are three of the most humble people I know. Humbly, B~Squared
