Sounds to me like a good way to fuck yourself up in a hurry, but I'm sure it can be done. Base # 942 The race is long and in the end, its only with yourself.

Yo thanks for answering my post on the odds on the B.B. so quick. Anyway... I'm down at Hollister with one other regular Bird, but he falls faster than me. Base # 942 The race is long and in the end, its only with yourself.

Yo I was curious where everyone is flocking in the Bay Area. Byron, Lodi, Davis...??? Base # 942 The race is long and in the end, its only with yourself.

We'll have two birds by the end of the month (when my suit comes) at Hollister. Base # 942 The race is long and in the end, its only with yourself.

I'm just about to order a Classic II and I was curious how important the 9 ft bridle is. Base # 942 The race is long and in the end, its only with yourself.

Hey thanks for all the feed back guys. I posted this a while ago and since then I decided not to downsize b/c I just ordered a birdman suit and I want to stick with a nice canopy that I'm comfortable with. Maybe after I get a bunch of jumps on my birdman suit I'll start thinking about downsizing again. Base # 942 The race is long and in the end, its only with yourself.

I was curious how people pack a pullout. How do you pack the pc before closing the rig? What are really bad ways of packing a pullout that may cause a malfunction? Are their better ways to pack the pc than the manufacturer recommendations? Thanks for the help!! Base # 942 The race is long and in the end, its only with yourself.

Really, only $120? Last time I looked I couldn't find anything for less than $200. Sweet, I'll check it out. Base # 942 The race is long and in the end, its only with yourself.

Yo, everyone I'm looking for people to carpool to the Eloy holiday boogie. I would like to leave the day after Christmas for the boogie, but I'm flexible. So if anyone is interested in saving some money on transportation to and from the boogie let me know. Base # 942 The race is long and in the end, its only with yourself.

The jacket has a big elastic band around the bottom that you tuck into the pants. Trust me the jacket isn't going to flip up. Its a totally secure set up. Check out FireFly Unlimited you can't beat their set up. Base # 942 The race is long and in the end, its only with yourself.

Where did you go for the coach dives? Base # 942 The race is long and in the end, its only with yourself.

I love my Firefly 2 piece suit and if its functionality you're looking for you've gotta check out the 2 piece it freaking rocks!!! http://www.fireflysuits.com/ Base # 942 The race is long and in the end, its only with yourself.

I'm planning on calling them soon, but I thought that it would be easier to just post something. Also I could find anything about their demo program on their web site, but maybe I wasn't looking hard enough. Thanks Base # 942 The race is long and in the end, its only with yourself.

I don't live close to any of the Icarus dealers that also have a demo program and I want to try the crossfire 2 before I decide what I'm going to buy. So do any of you guys know if Icarus does a demo program similar to PD's? Base # 942 The race is long and in the end, its only with yourself.

I just ordered a G3 b/c I didn't want to fork out the extra cash for the G4. If you can afford the G4 go for the G4, but if you're a starving college student like myself then maybe the G3 is a better option b/c its cheaper. Whichever one you decide to go with I can honestly say that Mirage has really good customer service and they'll take care of all your questions no matter how stupid you think they may be. Give them a call or e-mail them and have them give you the sales pitch if you need more help deciding. Mirage ROCKS!!! (sorry for the shameless plug, but I was really impressed with the level of customer service Mirage provided) Base # 942 The race is long and in the end, its only with yourself.

Tiger hit the nail on the head with this one. I unfortunately wasn't able to transfer my thought onto the screen very well last night. Anyway … As Tiger said I don't want to get people into this sport that don't belong here, but again as Tiger said, I know there are a lot of people out there that can handle the extreme nature of our sport. There are almost 300 million people in the USA and there are only 35,000 USPA members so obviously there is a lot of room for growth here. For example look at all the people in the USA that ride motorcycles, I believe that these people have excepted that their hobby has a good chance of killing them and I also believe that these people are exposed to an environment were they must react quickly and where they must rely upon themselves to save there lives constantly. So right there is a large demographic that could produce a lot of new jumpers. So, I'm sure that there are many people out there that fit the profile of a good skydiving candidate that are either exposed to the wrong kind of publicity or haven't been exposed to the sport at all. Which is why they haven't made it to their local DZ, but if someone were to provide these people with a guiding hand, and I'm not advocating a use of peer pressure to encourage people to jump, but more a kind of guiding hand for people to take them as far as they want with the sport, may that be signing up for the first jump course or only doing a tandem I think that we would increase the number of jumpers dramatically. In addition: In response to some negative comments about increasing the size of the jumper population, just think about this, it would be a lot easier for the FAA to tell 35,000 people that they cannot jump anymore than it would be to tell 75,000 or even a 100,000 jumpers that they cannot jump. Population size increases influence, which will help to ensure the survival of the sport that we all love so much. Base # 942 The race is long and in the end, its only with yourself.

Whoa, a blood clot in your tongue? Thats kind of strange. Did you have a big lump in your tongue or something? Hope you heal fast. Take care pop aka Texas Mike Base # 942 The race is long and in the end, its only with yourself.

Its not like we don't loose a lot of members every year. Plus, skydiving gets a lot of the wrong kind of publicity, so I feel somewhat like its my responsibility to try and give back to skydiving by providing people with a point of view that isn't from TLC's Oh My God, I Shit My Pants home videos.

I've recently put some skydiving stickers and pictures onto my school binder and since then I've gotten a lot of people asking me about skydiving and showing interest in the sport. From previous attempts at recruiting new jumpers I've found that about 99% of the people will never actually start AFF and probably 95% will never end up doing a tandem no matter how interested they seem to be. So what can we do to turn these statistics around? Why is it that so many people seem so interested in the sport, but are never willing to take the next step?

That is awesome. I'm really interested in starting a club if there isn't already one at the college that I transfer to. If you have any tips about how to successfully make this happen could you pm it to me, that would be awesome. Base # 942 The race is long and in the end, its only with yourself.

I had a pair of pants from abercrombie just like this and I put about 100 jumps on them, but sadly they BLEW UP . I've found that the there are a lot of cheap alternatives out there for freefly clothing, but nothing helps to increase your learning curve like a good suit. Check out Fire Fly Unlimited. They make a lot of different types of FF suits that are AWESOME. I love my 2 piece FF suit. When its hot I don't fly the jacket and just wear the pants, its like 2 FF suits in one.

I know what you mean, sometimes it only takes me one jump to go from kicking ass to throwing poo. Base # 942 The race is long and in the end, its only with yourself.
