At Elsinore we typically have an Experienced group and low-timers. The low-time LO, depending on the skill level, will not get any larger than a 5 way. We also encourage our low-timers to take advantage of our 2 way skills group which fosters individual flying skills with an experienced coach. Many, including myself, have gone on to other disciplines or improved their RW skills. One participant is now on a nationally ranked AA team. It is a good program which doesn't leave anybody "out." I often tell the newbies to find me if they want to do a 2 way or to sharpen their skills. It works for us. Shark CCS-1242

Shouldn't that read, "I Farted"?

Congrats on the 500th and the 4 Stack! Welcome to the real darkside... Shark CCS-1242

All I can say is that it is "looking" better for a tunnel at Elsinore. Did a hop n pop after work and before Corona there and became nosey. You can guess either way. I am more confident now. Viking, the tunnel can only help you. Your working time is more than doubled. ie. more time to correct your fuck ups. Hopefully you don't acquire any bad habits in there. One skysurfer I know learned in one.
-
don't forget the EXIT. difficult, if not impossible in the tunnel.
-
yeah, when I let go they will fly through the roof instead of cork or backslide.
-
well, the weekend is upon us... and the air is just right for drinking beer
-
i already tested the prototype last month... but i was "under" canopy. (at least part of the ride in/on the dust devil.)
-
jumping and humping...

I wear a Z1 and it gives a little more cover. In the winter I wear a balaclava underneath my helmet which also offers complete neck coverage.

Yep, the Shark swimmin in da tunnel!!! SoCal supports 2 DZs, why not 2 tunnels? You eastcoasters are just jealous! With 2 tunnels being announced hopefully at least one can get built. Doesn't really matter where, either. But I do want it at Elsinore.

Get MORE credit cards!!
-
Yeah, but sometimes 1 hot skydive is better than 8 shitty ones.
-
all these replies and no one touched this one. BTW Zen, I could be in 69 on my belly, with a Freeflier under me...Yet my BF does FS. Too bad! Like shark said, you haven't seen some of our exits, have you JP, Can I watch and/or participate?? We'll get video, too. BTW, you need to bet Hottamaly again on some "record" stuff. Time for one of ya to show your goods...

Michele, Fuckin' Awesome! Totally cool. (Okay, so I have a very limited vocabulary.) You ROCK and those dz dweebs can fuck off! (sorry, didn't know another way to express myself.) Anyways, come on over the hill to Elsinore if want. You know we are cool.

Would flashing a female pilot get me more altitude, or arrested?

Are ya a FF or RW chick? -
Leave it hanging without pushing it in. Seems to have the most consistent openings. Besides, John LeBlanc said to pack it that way...
-
okay, it would have to be, in order: skydive, drink, eat, fuck. but seriously, (i thought i was serious), this year's goals are the CCS and PRO. just got the ccs, so now it's time to concentrate on the PRO.

On a more positive note, I should mention that there are a lot of skydiving couples and families at the 2 SoCal DZs. (Sorry, I haven't spent much time in "LoCal" (SD) to know it very well.) And yes, I have also witnessed married couples break up and decide who will be at the dz on any particular weekend. I have also seen skydivers go beyond dating and tying the knot. (no, not a finger trap. wait, that's another thread.) And as far as families go, I did the SSL with a father and daughter. It was pretty cool. Her first in her 65 jumps. Gretchen was our team-mom. Her and Harold have "adopted" me keeping the Shark off the streets at night. Then there's Derek (2000 jumps) and his wife Jana (several tandems). Both their kids have done tandems and one will be starting AFF soon. So I dunno. Maybe our community does reflect the general population...

Be sure to wear that rw jumpsuit of yours to show off your 6.
-
Well, make sure you put her in a tight Rdub suit.
-
Can't. My ex-girlfriend has already done that! (whuffo bitch)
-
is that why the guys at my dz told me my suit needed to be taken in? yes, it has nothing to do with fallrate.

It's also like attaining Knighthood...
