it's borrowed from the william gibson sci-fi/ cyperpunk novel of the same name. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

as it's getting hotter i find that bringing a couple of cases of water is much appreciated, especially by the DZ staff and those hard working packers. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

chuck gets my vote. IMO he's one of the best at adjusting to his opponents attacks and exploiting any weakness they may have. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

Quotebut if you lived in california you would understand the average speed people go is about 80 if not more. reply] this is from the last time i took defensive driving. "no matter how fast other traffic is going the maximum legal speed you can go is the posted speed limit. and if you try to tell a cop, "but everyone was going fast", he'll most likely say, "but you're the person i stopped" if you have a tendancy to go over i highly reccomend a Valentine One. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

i'll play: back in march i was in a rush , they had made the "head to the plane now" call, and i put my Viso on before my rig. i caught my Viso on the shoulder strap while putting the rig on. the casing broke apart and wouldn't snap back together. i emailed L&B asking about repairs Mads replied to send it to them and they'd fix or replace it at no cost. they didn't even ask me to cover return postage. all around a great experience. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

if you're fortunate to be able to afford new. getting a new, built to fit, harness/ conatiner is a good idea. that way, unless you plan on bulking up in the future like Cartman in that 1 Southpark episode, you'll have a container that fits right that will last you quite awhile and that you can use to put used canopies and downsize in as you gain experience. just my .25 cents diamonds are a dawgs best friend

use the reward you'll get yourself for getting it done as motivation. reward ideas: extra jumps, dinner at a new nice resturant, a bottle of top shelf (instert favorite alcohol here), or a new CD or pair of shoes. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

Using contact lens while jumping
countzero replied to kerims's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
i've worn hard contacts for 16 years. when i started jumping i used goggles now i use a full face helmet. i haven't had any issues with my contacts. i do make sure to close my face shield before boarding in case i have to wait a second on the stairs in the prop wash for others to get in the plane. and 1 time i got some dust blown in my eyes after landing which made for a tearful, blurry walk back but i always have solution with me. so a little removal and rewetting and i was good to go for the next load. diamonds are a dawgs best friend -
0:0:3 3 solos on sun. got to fall close to a clump of industiral haze that was at least 1,000 ft. tall on my last jump, awesome. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

ballon and heli are on my list to do by the end of the year. bomber sounds cool but i'll probably save up for it and do it for a milestone jump like my 500th. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

when people i know say they want to jump, i just give them my home DZ web site and tell them to let me know when thier reservation is and i'll see them out there. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

i'd finally have someone as floaty as me to jump with. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

when a vehicle is taking off fast on a dirt or grass surface and there's the sound of tires squealing like you'd hear if it were taking off fast on pavement. diamonds are a dawgs best friend

so using a tunnel to work on fall rate and body position would cost more in a dollar minute ratio than $20 per jump with a skydiving coach. diamonds are a dawgs best friend
-
i once heard somewhere that X amount of time in a tunnel is essentially equivalent to X amount of skydives. what are these amounts? diamonds are a dawgs best friend

according to the DZ data base on here, there are only 3 that have AFF training. so you may be limited by proximity. in the end it's your decision but i'd suggest you contact the DZs that offer AFF and ask lots of questions, better yet go out and visit them. they'll be more than glad to discuss thier training programs with you. blue skies and good luck. diamonds are a dawgs best friend
