  1. Really... yall get all the good weather... but I think the women here are better! They don't get any better than Texas!
  2. I have MGI photo suite and I can't figure mow to compress. My picture is only 2/3 screen size but is like 333kb! Got a clue?
  3. I'm sorry that I'm at least in my mid 20's *cough, cough*, *coughs up a lung or two* oh, sorry Lord!
  4. I would big time go for the VFR. It is the finest all around bike available! I almost bought 1 last year but SDing got in the way! I have owned both and the Suzuki's are very buzy where the Honda's are smooth. I have owned a Honda 700 Night Hawk S, 750 Custom, Yamaha 1100, Suzuki GSX 1100. I would buy a Honda again before any of thr others and the VFR is THE BEST all around bike available for the last 10 years!
  5. Hi Jessie, The student program at my dz takes students all the way to their A license with a JM on each jump. I think the whole program from 2 tandems-A averages about $100.00 per jump from start to finish if paid up front. The students coming out now are much better prepaired for jumping with others than before. I they decide that the want to freefly they get that training as well, not just belly. Conway 1156
  6. A common saying I've heard @ dropzones by full time employees is, "If you work here, you get to WORK here. If you work somewhere else, you get to JUMP here!
  7. t... at least its not Texas. You should be so lucky!
  8. Oh, I should have known! Thanks Hottie
  9. ----------------------------------------- Just think for a moment that you and DanBC are the same here Welcome!
  10. Thanks for the invitation!
  11. QuoteOK, I got my chops busted for not introducing myself, so here I am! I live in Houston and jump at Spaceland, which, limited DZ exposure granted, is the MOST AWESOME dropzone EVER! I've met a ton of wonderful people there, and now that I've been lurking for a good long while, I'd like to get to know you fine folks as well. Gosh, this seems so solemn and formal... ---------------------------------------------- Congratulations and welcome! See, that wasn't like pulling teeth!
  12. QuoteBite me Conway. ------------------------------ OK!
  13. QuoteThere is not much room for error at the ranch. I will probably jump my ass of with the safire this season and see if simon is coming up for the pond swoop nationals. If he is I'll ask him to bring a xfire2 169. --------------------------------------------- If I didn't jump year round, I would be real leary of downsizing. I would even suggest getting a demo one size larger at first to get a feel for the different flight characteristics. From what I have heard of the ranch, it is much less forgiving than the DZ's I jump.
  14. How many of these landings were "less than ideal", i.e. hurt? Less than ideal? 3 off DZ landings and a few on the Dz down wind, when I probably should have landed off safely into the wind. Put myself in a position early where I had to set it down in a small fenced back yard once. Never hurt.
  15. (Let me state beforehand that I jump every decent weekend to the tune of over 600 jumps last year. This was the edit) Johny, I started jumping a Xfire 1 loaded 1.8+ at 300 jumps. This was extreme and a lot of people at my DZ said that would die under it. After 500+ under that canopy, I have put several hundred on a Xaos loaded 2.2+. If you are at a DZ with a large landing area, you SHOULD be able to handle the Xfire 2. The big difference is forgiveness. If you make a mistake on the Safire you may walk away. under the Xfire, the same mistake may kill or mame you! Handled with kid gloves, the Xfire is a much better canopy. Once you start pushing YOUR limits, the margin for error shrinks, big time. The Xfire will stay diving like your Safire never thought possible. I am far from a canopy nazi as you can tell, but understand your choice. I was lucky going against what I was told but being very conservative under a new, different type canopy should improve your chances of survival. Only you know how you feel landing your canopy. Blue skies, good luck and be careful!
  16. You Bitch, Go back and introduce your skank ass!! Welcome to the posts and do the right thing!
  17. Hi and welcome Dan, I am one of the lowly Spacelanders from Houston who know all about you from our "Deguello" friends! It was my pleasure and pain to go through the first Airspeed tunnel camp of the year, last year before doing 4way in the TSL. Your reputation by far preceeds you in the RW circles! It would be an absolute hoot to be able to go to the AZ challenge and get to compete with the best of the best. Once again, welcome to our playground! Blue ones, Conway Hall 1156
  18. Quote You two sure know how to make a girl feel wanted. and you expected less?
  19. Damn, Max! Whew! It's getting hot in here.... Don't let your trip to Texas cool you down now! Thanks for the help Max! I'll do my best to see that she stays hot in Texas!
  20. Rebecca just stop NOW! Just glad my face isn't in view
  21. I bet you fuck them up real good! Trust that we will!
