  1. american tattoo company on I-45 north in spring. a freind's cousin got a really good horn toad design there, he goes to TCU. otherwise all the really good work i've seen has come from- shaw's, scorpion studios and screamn' demon. which are all down near montrose and westheimer. diamonds are a dawgs best friend
  2. the people sure there are DZ's that have more amenaties than others. and there are DZ's that cater more to the serious competitor and ones that carter more to the weekend jumper. but in the end it's the people. we jump together, we look out for each other's safety, and at the end of the day we swap stories and share knowledge. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

  5. before i ordered my Bev suit i asked them to send me some material samples. that way i could see what the colors really looked like, being as moitors can display colors differently. it was really helpful in deciding what colors i wanted. diamonds are a dawgs best friend
  6. sounds like DZ B offers more opprotunity to jump with others and develop your skills faster, thus getting your more experience for when you're ready to teach. diamonds are a dawgs best friend
  7. two fish are in a tank and one looks at the other and says, "i have no idea how to drive this thing, do you?" poor dogs, all that change they see and no thumbs or pockets to collect it. diamonds are a dawgs best friend
  8. got back in the air after a month of crappy weather. 0:5:0 3 sit fly jumps and 2 RW jumps just to keep it interesting. diamonds are a dawgs best friend
  9. speed and agility make me very happy. the upcoming Lotus Evora is at the top of my Christmas wish list. diamonds are a dawgs best friend
  10. here's a few things i think showing respect means- maintaining honest and open communication with the person (not gossiping or tearing the person down behind thier back, if you've got an issue you should have the integrity to discuss it with them). not taking advantage of a person and thier things or thier generosity. showing consideration for thier opinions and feelings and not minimizing them or what they say when it dosen't match with your ideals. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

  12. $28.74- that's jumps so far and the gear to get me going in the sport. i don't think i'll be buying any gear soon so the number will go down as the year progresses. but the friends and memories i've made so far are priceless. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

  14. read the "newbie blues" article by pat works and realise: that everyone has felt "stuck in the middle" at one time or another, and that only you are the one who can change things. i was there myself too, but: i went from not having anyone to jump with- to jumping with fellow newbies- to being on the first place team at two different RW scrambles- to learning to sit fly and am hoping to learn head down this spring/summer. and i did it by going out to the DZ. jumping and meeting people to jump with and learn from. also if you ever make it up to Skydive Houston i can definately find people for you to jump with. heck, i may even pull out my RW suit and join you. best of luck! now go jump!! diamonds are a dawgs best friend
  15. nerver been depressed post-jump, but have had post-jump hang overs many times. i do get antsy if it's been a couple of weeks between jumps, and i have been known to repack my rig on a bad weather weekend just to feel like i did something skydiving related. diamonds are a dawgs best friend
  16. 1/1/1 hoping to add more states and DZs this summer. countries will have to wait till i can afford to travel that far. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

    Freefly suit

    i bought a 2-piece suit from Freak N' Suits this past fall. great service, fast delivery, good price for the suit and a very reasonable cost for the custom design i had them put on it. i also have a friend who flys camera who has had one for thier suits that's going on it's third year and still looks good, so i know the quality and durability is there too. check them out-- cheers diamonds are a dawgs best friend
  18. psy-trance: 90% of it is over 140 beats per minute, most songs are 8 to 10 minutes long so 3 or 4 songs = 30 min. of work out time. and there aren't cheesy vocals. check out- space buddha, infected mushroom, goa gil, and dimension 5; for starters. or that song from the Aqua Teen movie that went with the Insanoflex, that will get you ripped in no time. diamonds are a dawgs best friend
  19. i love supporting small brewers. tried lots of pale ales and IPAs this past fall. currently trying different belgians and porters. diamonds are a dawgs best friend
  20. don't do it. look at it this way if you sold it you'd have to rent to jump until you aquire another rig. and rental fees= less jumps. even if you jumps less frequently for awhile, wouldn't you rather get the most jumps you can for your money? diamonds are a dawgs best friend
  21. after going on the barnstormer at Astroworld (it's like the skycoaster at the Royal Gorge): i decided i just had to experience skydiving at least once. i continued because of how addicting the fun is. the fact that i've gained some awesome friends is an extra bonus. blue skies!! diamonds are a dawgs best friend
  22. no, but i do have the auto fill set with it's zip code on the weather sites i check. diamonds are a dawgs best friend
  23. Hiper canopies (Blade and Nitro) are availible with black lines- i believe. diamonds are a dawgs best friend
  24. 0:6:0 1 H&P, 3 2-way sit jumps each with a different person each time (got some good work on adjusting fall rate), 1 6-way hybrid attempt (the second hanger went low and the base kept spinning) and 1 3-way horny gorilla. good times!!! diamonds are a dawgs best friend
  25. traffic nightmares are pretty much weekday occurences. weekends it's farily easy to get around quick, aside from the lost load of whatever that didn't get tied down and is now blocking 3 lanes. learning the side streets can help tons. diamonds are a dawgs best friend
