  1. just read the article in my work's breakroom. anyone know anything, (facts, rumors, hear say) about the Austin tunnel they mention? a short drive to fly when the weather is bad would be very helpful in buliding this young jumper's skills. diamonds are a dawgs best friend
  2. i would have become a jumper sooner. even though i was sick, i would have gone to the Damageplan show at the Engine Room instead of thinking i'll catch them next time. R.I.P. Dimebag. diamonds are a dawgs best friend
  3. for 3 years i used a beeper and the pay phones at my apartments. it was cheaper than a home phone. plus unless the 911 code came through i didn't have to call right away if i didn't want to. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

    Change!

    a couple of months ago i'd run to Arby's near the DZ and got a 1 and three 5s when i was supposed to get four dollars and some coins back at the drive thru. going back would have made me miss the next load. diamonds are a dawgs best friend
  5. TOOL concert on friday, jumping saturday (if the weather is nice), and watching UFC saturday night. and i'm sure a few Shiners will be drank along the way. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

  8. i say "for the same reason people engage in any hobby, sport or other recreational activity: it's a heck of alot of fun and to socialize and share in the fun with fellow enthusiast." diamonds are a dawgs best friend
  9. i'm currently not ready for the responsability of having my own children, much less dating into a ready made family. therefore i don't date women with children. diamonds are a dawgs best friend
  10. i like my batrays with orange sunburst lense. however i wear a full face helmet due to being a contact wearer. i know a few jumpers who wear other styles and lenses with a stap and gasket type material on the inside edge of the frames to reduce wind getting in thier eyes while wearing openfaced helmets. see if anyone at your DZ will let you try thiers on to see what style you like. or try contacting Gatorz and talking about your face shape and size. they were very helpful with me on choosing the right frames. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

    currently i'm sitting and listening to all my TOOL albums being as i'll be seeing them live in a couple of weeks. and i know it's older but i have to hear "home" by above and beyond in it's entierity every time i play it. diamonds are a dawgs best friend
  14. that mirco fish thing in the library diamonds are a dawgs best friend
  15. i quit 6 years ago using the final smoke pills. i used the money i saved toward a car stereo system to reward myself. if i had been a jumper back then i would have spent the money on jumps. just the other week while getting gas i saw a sign for how much cigs are nowadays and started calculating how many jumps a month i can do instead based on my past pack a day habit. best of luck! diamonds are a dawgs best friend
  16. yes, i'm happy. and i believe happiness is a choice and that attitude is everything. life's too short to waste time moping and being depressed. besides i jump out of planes for fun, what's not to be happy about doing that? diamonds are a dawgs best friend
  17. 0:6:0 2 h&p, 2 horny gorillas, 1 RW drill dive, and 1 14K clear and pull. got to take my new to me rig home. i've been jumping it for the past 3 weeks and paying installments. feels so good to not have to rent anymore! diamonds are a dawgs best friend
  18. i'l be talking with people at my DZ this weekend but i figure the more info i can get, the better. i'm closing in on my 100th. wanting to do a hoop dive for it, i'm looking for pointers and suggestions on what to work on to give me the best chance for success. blue skies! diamonds are a dawgs best friend
  19. been jumping almost 2 years. jumping my own pack job the first time was unnerving until i remembered i had a reserve that a rigger had packed. i do it for pretty much the same reason anyone else that's engages in a hobby or recreational activity does: for fun, relaxation, to challenge myself to improve, and the social interaction with like minded people. the adrenaline rush i get from risking my life for the reward of having a blast jumping is just an added bonus. diamonds are a dawgs best friend
  20. 0:5:0 5 jumps. 3 2-ways, 1 SCR attempt (a few of us went low), and 1 3-way. diamonds are a dawgs best friend
  21. what about a Viso and an Optima. that's what i use and thier combined price is around $340. diamonds are a dawgs best friend
  22. if it were me i'd tour where they make Jager. be very careful if you go to the red light district. aside from the possability of catching an STD. pick pockets and muggings are a danger as well. diamonds are a dawgs best friend
  23. "how many can you..." and "before you can be called..." are you looking for a number to stay under or a benchmark to achieve and surpass? diamonds are a dawgs best friend
