There is a quote (sorry I don’t know who wrote it) that says: “People are like pyramids, those at the top would crumble without the firm support of those beneath.” Unfortunately, we in our humanness, going through the motions of our daily lives, forget to say thank-you. We overlook the people that keep it together and make it work. Sometimes we look around them, sometimes we look straight through them. I wanted to take an opportunity to say thank-you to some of the folks that contribute to my life on a daily basis like so many others do at dropzones around the world for you. Each person that works on a dropzone plays an integral part that is essential to the whole. Often times they contribute in ways that we are unaware of. They find the strength to trudge through in some of the less than ideal conditions, situations and circumstances. They are the backbone, the strength and the spirit that keeps it viable. To those in Planet Eloy I thank-you sincerely, for without you, I could not soar. You are the dropzone’s greatest assets. I salute the divine within you. B~Squared

Yes, I know we have covered this several times...but I thought I would share with you my experience from LAX to PHX this past week-end. Perhaps it will help you when traveling with your rig as a carry on item. First, I carried my rig in the open, not as a display but for lack of better planning I had nothing to put it in. At the check-in counter I asked the attendant to look up the restrictions for Airtec Cypress which he did. I was informed that it was not a restricted item and my rig could indeed be carried on the aircraft. I then asked if they would print me a copy of that directive so that I would not have an issue going through security. The gentlemen was most accommodating and I passed through security without a hitch!

Dusty actually sought me out yesterday and said that after seeing what we had going at the Holiday Boogie, he wanted to be a part of it. I would rather think that he is working with us not for us as part of our community and family. Free flail? Yeah babay!

Well i have the same issue and can dislocate my right shoulder at will. Strengthening around the shoulder is the way to go to prevent serious injury. You go Viking!

update: Dusty Smith for Arizona Flight Insitutute has offered to LO FF for the DZ.Commers in Rantoul and will be at the DZ.Com area.. YEAH Babay!

Miche~ How fortunate you both are to have each other. Your love for your father is clearly evident and is heartwarming. Thank you for sharing your stories and your life experiences, they are priceless. xoxo BB

DZ.Com at WWFC?? Hell yeah.....with all the bells and whistles! Somebody call my DR! LOL

The desert.....oh and just yonder....

Bwahhhh but where's Chuckie?

Well get to swimmin' lil' one....and we shall bask by the sea on sands of white....with warm windy breezes in the night....a small thatch hut near the shore....and share the tale of love and lore....

Check your PMs

yeah i have some ideas...

What's this? Are you trying to kill me with all the allergens? Bwahhhh Come to my underwater cave lil' fishy.....

Yeah baby Yeah!

BB chuckles at the irony

Have fun dahlink! Don't forget to bring home all the goodies xxoox B^2

Oh pick me pick meeeee I know CPR!! BB jumps up and down waving her arms

Be safe out there!!!

Oh Fishy...sometimers disease? But..but..you're so young! Sometimes I forget things too!

***Should I wear some colon or notQuote Well I knew exactly what he meant....I just wan't abou to remark upon it

Yes there has been a thread....I like my man el natural....course a bit of deoderant works! LOL Seriously, some tones affect my asthma but paco rabanne is nice

Yes ear-lobes torn from hoops. Also those with pierced nips should consider wearing a covering while jumping. I have seen the rings torn out here as well. Ouch!

We miss Mike more than can put into words. Although I normally wouldn't go out of my way to see this movie, I will do so to honor my friend. BB

Ugh...I have been sitting on my hands on this one...til now. imho...one must learn to crawl before they walk and then learn to run. All flying begins (or should) with rw....it is the basis for everything. Movement, control, stability and so on. (yeah I know I always say I am not a belly flyer...but um guess what happens at pull time?) I don't think that it has so much to do with jump numbers as it has to do with the quality of those jumps and what has been learned. It is essential that folks have good body awareness in order to be a "proficient" flyer period. By learning the different disciplines, it only serves to make one a better overall skydiver

I think that all have something to offer. It depends on your personal preference. Some DZ's you'll see alot of Flitesuit while at another you'll see Firefly and yet another something entirely different. My suggestion is to go to the specific websites and decide for yourself
