What he said. The frequent and irresponsible use of cameras in recent years has had an appalling effect on nightly shenanigans and nekkidness in general. Blues, Dave We're not nearly as naked as before I started jumping there (no correlation) but we are still fairly free. No cameras have ever been condoned during the festivities. You visiting and feel the need to take pictures? Well, your camera is deleted, and you are warned. Cameras have been known to not survive one or two people refusing to cooperate. Don't be a dick. Or a creep. Boobies for everyone. At Richmond they make it clear that there's to be no cameras after dark, but that's a smaller boogie that's easier to monitor. Come to think of it the only other rule I remember from Richmond is to always land according to the tetrahedron, no matter how far off it is. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane.

ahahahah. summerfest... +1 You three were the first in, but I think our group had the most fun, other than tripping over Bubba's cooler. I didn't care as much for it once the foam was well over my head. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane.

Well, if all it takes to be a skygod is to go to Skydive Arizona, I'm in! Sounds pretty easy . I wouldn't treat them bad at Lost Prairie if they show up. Be nice, don't stoop to their level, you reap what you sow, Karma, it's all true, don't make bad stuff happen to you. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane.

It sounds like the rigger may have a canopy he needs to sell, I only say that because he said used 135 and not a new 135. Precision says you need to have 500 jumps minimum for W/L of 1.4 or higher, you're pretty close to that. There was a huge difference between my Nitron 170 and the Nitro 150 I demoed. It flew pretty much like the 150 Stilleto I jumped (PD recommends 500 jumps for this canopy period), but had higher front riser pressure than the Stilleto. Beezy said they are designed with short lines to make them more responsive than some of the other canopies like the Crossfire. He was considering changing the line lengths to get the longer recovery arc, but I don't think he actually did it. Just because Precision underrates their canopies doesn't mean you should load them higher. George says they rate them like that to keep people out of trouble. The Manufacturers probably know more than you do, stick with your 150 for a while. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane.

Beth said she was working on WFFC '09, haven't heard from her how it went yet. For me, Summerfest at Skydive Chicago is just as much fun, they just don't have the unusual aircraft that WFFC had.

I haven't seen that movie in a long time, I think I have it on VHS, may have to dig it up. I only got 48 on the quiz. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.

When the village idiot leaves and goes to a new village, does he get to be the village idiot in the new village or do they go by seniority? "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.

When we (my daughter and I) did the egg drop, we made a round parachute, very similar to a pilot chute. I had some ZP material left over from another project, and bought some mesh from the craft section at Walmart. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane.

I'm not that picky, I'll take a jump ticket, blow job, whatever . Like many on here, it's just another day this year. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.

They seem a little bitter . I think I've seen the movie they used in the middle, it's called the Planet. If that's a yearend video, I'm putting way too much time into mine .

You'd think people were tired of seeing those type of movies redone 100 times over.... They re-made 'The Longest Yard' & 'Vanishing Point'...That's pretty freakin' scary! The big screen people are taking after the small screen people. "Reality TV" came about because they don't have to pay the writers to make something good. If they re-use the old scripts they only have to spend the money to make cool new special effects. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane.

That's like bringing sand to the beach. You're forgetting who you're talking about. She'll have slaves paying to crank the generator for her, to recharge her batteries.

0:0:0 This weekend was our annual midwinter party at the Ramada Inn hotel in Angola. It was the first time we did NOT go go-kart racing. It was way too cold to jump this weekend, and I still haven't put my rig back together yet anyway. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane.

I had something similar to that once. I thought maybe it was something serious, found out I just sprained one of the muscles between my ribs. Doc gave me some drugs to make it all better.

QuoteI like DZ's that win your patronage by good planes, good prices, good employees and good times. I'm lucky to jump at one of those for my home DZ. They stay above the politics and petty bickering about spending time at other DZ's. We still travel around and jump other places, but all I hear is "tell them 'Hi' for us." That sounds like my Home dz too. I started at Skydive Fort Wayne, then went to another dz for a while to do video. They closed so I went back to my original home dz, and a few others just for fun. I didn't know there was such a thing as politics in skydiving until I first wandered off. I like all the places I've been too and the people involved, but there was some one sided bickering at the new place, just not as bad as the original poster's situation.

I don't have a Mirage, I have a Vector3. I assume the Teflon loops are so the loops stay open all the time, like the Louie loops on my Vector. I love 'em, you can grab 'em without looking. I was a little concerned about the same thing when I ordered mine since they were brand new and I hadn't seen them in person yet. They squish down really well, so they're basically just a little thicker than normal risers. They don't show on my rig when it's closed. I would assume that the Mirage version will behave the same.

I needed to be able to use multiple answers. I have one rig with a Skyhook and one rig with nothing(Cypress or RSL). I voted for Skyhook because if I had ordered both rigs new, they would both have Skyhooks. I'm not against a regular RSL, if I'm jumping a rig with one, I don't disconnect it.

I don't know how many I've met, they don't wear name tags all the time, or introduce themselves with their screen name instead of their real name. More than 3 for sure.

"I'm guessing, lots." I love Con Air. I haven't had the urge to get back with my ex yet, I'm having way too much fun now. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.

You just might be a little weird, it probably depends on who you're around at the time. It's a shame you moved but maybe I'll get to jump with you again in Chicago. I still have your old Vector, it's my back up rig now though. You might be able to persuade Rook into flying the 182, he does have a real house to pay for now . It's a nice 182 too, it's a '56 with the tall landing gear so you can actually stand up on the step. Okay, that's not really why Cessna made the tall landing gear, but it sounds like a good story.

You should also check to see if Archway Skydiving in Vandalia is close enough for you, it's an hour east of St. Louis. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.

That's because I don't have a SCR . I didn't send in for my Eagle and Falcon awards in time either. I didn't know they were going to drop them. I did earn a silver funnel fish for taking out a 6 way. Bubba and Mike said they don't give out silvers for something small like a 6 way, but I did it in such a spectacular fashion I really earned it.

I was so disappointed that "More than Words" is Extreme's popular song, their others are so much better. "He Man Woman Hater", and "Play With Me (used in Bill and Ted's excellent adventure)" are kick ass songs. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane.

I would take it as a sign that it's time to move to Florida. The weather's better there now anyway. Weren't you planning on moving in a couple months anyway? "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
