I will pay for one otter ride at Skydive Orange with the consideration that you pay no attention to the naked people and leave before the Jet fuel hits the pallets. Just kidding. I got your ride up the next time you come to NoVa. mike ...red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me...

Actually, you may be interested in how many hunters have become the hunted every year thanks to those beauties of the northern rim. I am a self-proclaimed poor hunter and would rather hunt a black bear with a knife than a polar bear with a 300 win mag. mike ...red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me...

Bada Bing!!!! Bingo!!!! thanks for playing mike's game of stupid retained trivia mike ...red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me...

I have a funny story about taking a sh!t beside a tree and a cute little black bear cub walked up and wanted to play. I evaced quickly (literally) pulling up my draws in a "to the rear, march" Momma bear was snorting something fierce and I wanted nothing to do with her. The cub was tooooooo cute. I want one, but alas, I know my limits. Think clear hair. And yes, I gave it away. mike ...red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me...

You are really close. mike ...red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me...

Hint: I'll bet every native American's forefather has seen one. I think I just gave it away. mike ...red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me...

for non-food reasons there is only one and it's documented. If you get out of (vehicle) and he (she is more ferocious) is there, you are dead. mike ...red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me...

sorry fellas, It is an animal. Think black skin. mike ...red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me...

wingnut, I hope you aren't still waiting for me. I got hung up... Brother, if mike or anybody else doesn't come to your aid, check that stuff what came with your USPA card. I think it's National Car Rental with the 10% off deal for USPA members. I can usually talk those spank monkeys into a two car upgrade every time I rent from them. (tip: Always go to the gay guy at the counter and be nice. Just don't agree to the tossed salad appetizer.) You just have to secure a mid-level vehicle and talk them up like you own stock in the company. It may cost you 50 bucks for a car for the weekend, but you aren't at anyone else's disposal. And, you will make it back for formation monday morning. Just remember, this country is in a vacation recession. You can wheel and deal in fla for a car right now. mike ...red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me...

Actually, I believe God=Mother Nature and/or Mother Earth. And yes that would make God a woman. Who else would come up with landslides and volcanoes? There is one species of animal which will kill humans for no other reason than for being there--not for sustainance. Anybody know what animal it is? mike ...red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me...

my ex-father-in-law worked at srs. He had some cool pix of two headed deer. All I know is I want to hunt there. My question: do I have to use two tags or one if I get a mutant? I miss riverwalk. peace out mike ...red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me...

Thanks Jason, for putting it all in perspective. mike ...red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me...

Dave, Heinz stadium is that new style NFL which is modeled after the old school NCAA stadiums with the open-end town views. It would actually be a great demo spot. mike ...red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me...

Roger that big dog. I read through the posts before creating mine and I think I replaced "sick of" with the word "bored" Dove used in her post. I regret not completely reading your post and thoroughly digesting it before creating my post. I think I was still a bit miffed at my friends Clay and Justin ripping on my beloved Corps in another thread. (that and the fact that I also tend not to register made up words i.e. "restabilized.") I suggest we both adhere to your advice not to get snippy. My post was made partly tongue-in-cheek. My RW coach presented me with a seemingly simple exit that I will pass along to you as an olive branch. Find the middle of the otter door. Place your left foot in the door and the other parallel to the wings. Squat down and place the left elbow on your left knee and roll out the door with your head pointing in the direction of the wing tip. The entire exit, you should be trying to arrest your fall rate (relative to the wind). As you become stable in the reduced fall rate, turn and swoop toward where the formation would be if they got out first. I still have a tendancy to drop the wrong knee as I exit and turn back up toward the Otter. It is a killer exercise that should increase your RW skills. Peace out, mike ...red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me...

If you call $700 an hour a cheap whore. And that's at the USPA prices. If you're in whuffo pricing, you're talking nearly a grand. I think I could get two hotties and a midget for a grand in Vegas. mike ...red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me...

Damn, That's more expensive than a whore. I'll flip a coin. mike ...red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me...

Zennie, Do you know what the rates are out at Flyaway? mike ...red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me...

I was hoping to find another East Coaster out there to make bringing a rig worth while. I'm gonna be out there the week prior. SHOT show baby!! mike ...red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me...

When are you going to be there in Feb? mike ...red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me...

Hey Kirk, even if you do find out what vintage that bottle is, will it really matter when you wake up on the floor around noon tomorrow to find it empty? mike ...red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me...

Ratings shmatings. Hey clay, lets do a demo into the steelers ravens game this weekend at half time. mike ...red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me...

You are bored after 16 jumps? Well, rather than trying to nail a slow fall exit or perfecting a floater exit, just try a new sport. Maybe lion taming or shark feeding from atop a hunk of dead whale. Maybe fire eating or chainsaw juggling would work for you. I think the best one would be catching a .357 bullet in your teeth. Good trick. Maybe just roll through the ghetto in your '78 lincoln lowrider while yelling "Homies, I got a lot of cash and I need the crack." mike ...red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me...

I'll be right there. I'm driving a truck and have a white shirt on. mike ...red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me...

how do you teach a chicken to PLF? mike ...red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me...

I have a problem with skydivers who claim to be environmentalists (and I am not directing this at any one person). Do you have a clue how much fuel we burn driving two hours every weekend to climb aboard an Otter with 20 others going to 14k to throw ourselves out repetitively throughout the weekend? Follow that up with rabid beer consumption leading to dumpster loads of glass heading to the landfill. Again, I am not directing this to anyone in particular, but if you want to live the life of a skydiver, STFU about the environment. mike ...red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me...
