First of all, thanks to all who replied in a post as well as IM's. That is one reason why I'm a skydiver. To ZZM thank you so much. It was not hard, I just wanted to know what not to do before it was too late. The tip about the lines snaggin on the velcro, I would have never thought of. I did read the cypres user guide, but it was very basic and did not say anything other "than removing it could be done by the user and it was not difficult." I love my rigger and totally appreciate his expertise, but because of my time dilemna, I wouldn't have had a chance to get to him first. Also, this gave me a complete understanding of my rig and how it works. Thank you again for replying and beer is on me when I'm out there again. Word to all, your rigger does not get paid enough to take care of us the way they do. Take care of them and they will take care of you.

I have a Odyssey J3K equipped with a Cypres 2 and Tempo 150. The rig has RSL. I have sold the Cypres to one person and the reserve to someone else. how do i remove it the "correct" way? i have removed mains before and it is pretty straight forward, but I have never messed with the other "half" of my rig. i am sure I can figure it out, but don't want to damage anything. so before I start poking around, i was wondering if someone could give me a quick run through, although it would be cool to explore...... Edited to add: the closest rigger is 2.5 hours away and i have to ship in the next day or two.

Go heels!! Anyone watching the game, tonight?

I haven't seen a skydiving video go around the net this way before. Even on the home page of MSN today. You guys definately rock!

I guess you wouldn't need all those otters on these record attempts then. Just open up all 8 doors and start bailing out.

Can't wait till the green light!!!

Get mommy-in-law to join and then we can get you a family membership.

Nope, but I'll still jump with you.

Oh, if only I was in charge.......

I'm no literary genius. I just clicked the contact us link on the other club's websites and requested info on starting a club. 5 or 6 people responded back from several of the clubs including one of our Directors. She forwarded it to one of our VP's who said that they could support it if we have some other employees that are interested also. They will be putting out something in a day or two in the companywide daily email that directs interested folks to me.

No more waiting for the other 150 to get off before you, no standing around baggage claim, no more catching the shuttle to the parking lot. Maybe while we're at it, we can just drop you over your house.

They haven't said anything about that yet. However, they are really good about supporting the other clubs that have already been established.

If I can get the club off the ground with enough interest, maybe I can somehow get you a honorary membership. BTW, thanks for your support. I wouldn't have a job, if it wasn't for you.

They don't let anyone touch the old Continental DC-3. It usually sits in the Texas museum, unless a special celebration is happening. However, never say never........

Hard question. It might be easier to answer what it won't be. I've never been one to be involved with "cliques" of any type, so I definately don't want that. Skydiving is not about that. I envision a group of people that join together for a common pursuit that is supported by our company. Maybe have 3-4 events/year that we could all meet up at. Maybe create a team. Great pics for the Continental Times. Get a discount program with a local DZ, etc. Continental already has a Scuba club, Trek club, Cycling club, Running club and I've heard a Harley club is almost off the ground.
