  1. Some of the funniest things I've seen and been part of are the "After the Sat. night Party" first sunday morning loads.Plenty of people "Barfing out the plane on the taxiway".1 time I did the freefall RW just great and all of a sudden realized I was rapidly approaching 1,000 ft.Big Opps(Serious Hangover not good!)(lol)Glad I don't drink like that anymore!Opened my main and landed in the middle of the airport.Didn't jump the rest of the day!Bitched myself out for not "Pulling My Reserve Instead"Yikes,be careful out there.rob
  2. Interesting.Durability and UV protection have long been an issue.Look forward to more discussions on new materials.rob
  3. There is no "Mistaking" of it now and in the future of becoming a main stream sport?(media coverage)The problem is still the same.Just 1 "Dumbass" will ruin everybody else's hard work.The world class guys and gals have all put in the time and that(Swooping)is their "Job"!The last thing they need is some "Idiot" mucking up the works.Put in the time.rob
  4. LOL.Just about any chance of a normal life!O.K. whats normal?(lol)
  5. Something to consider.I have heard "Horror" stories of people(have witnessed it also)of jumpers getting caught in a "Fast Moving Summertime Severe Thunderstorm"!Yikes,the big "Yikes" the ram-air mains would not stay "Inflated".Only thing that saved the poor suckers was a "Round Reserve"rob
  6. WHO CARES WHAT THE WORLD CLASS PEOPLE ARE DOING?(LOL)Part of coming up with something unique is giving it your "Own Signature"!Different can be better.How about "Pink Bubbles" for the "Pink Mafia"?Or Lavender "Lolly Pops" for any Loveable loser?(lol)Use that imagination.rob.
  7. Your not alone.Nothing but "Just Doing IT" and jumping your packs will get you past it.We all had to do it.Well,now if your rich?Pass your A packs and pay a packer?(LOL)
  8. Gotta keep up with the jones's!(lol)Looks like John and Jyro have been at it again.I LOVE IT!Of course with the amount of testing still to be done?We home boys won't get to buy 1 until 2010?Keep up the good work guys.Brian you got "Swooped Again"!Sorry just couldn't resist it(lol)rob.
  9. There is something about the 500-1000 range.Confident enough in the basic skills but"More often than not" lacking sound judgement.Being able to hold "Oneself Back" is a sign of maturity and experience.Sometimes you just have to give in to the youth and say "Let's see you in 30 yrs with no hospital visits"?Humm,take chances pay the price!rob.
  10. Shoe Betcha,info,reminders and freebies always make it worth it!
  11. Humm,this why I have been "Trained" to pack the way I do!Cock 1 after laying it down.Check 2 before putting in bag."Cock 1(3 total) more time" after parachute is in bag!No reason for a good pilot chute(good working order)not to work.
  12. Not sure I could define just 1.It might make da women actually think I have a soul!oh No!(lol)
  13. Interesting!Each of us is responsible for "Our Own" altitude and canopy choice.But,Da pilot dude is in charge!If he/she says get out at 1000 ft.What do you do at 900ft,800ft,?How about 650ft?"I'M GETTING OUT AND PULLING MY RESERVE"!Other than that I'm staying in the plane below 500ft and possibly die with everyone else.Running through all the outs to save ones life can't be a bad thing!rob
  14. Your right,It is sorta sad funny.(sorry)(lol)My first off landing was the first skyvan boogie at my home dz.We were first out on 1 long pass.Opened up after my first 60 second delay under a round canopy and said "Oh Shit".No way making it back.Nothing under me but woods.Humm,ok there a few paths back here.Lucky I managed to do a nice PLF on the small path while my round chute just landed in a small tree.Never panic,use what you know,land safe.rob
  15. She will be the queen of his bedroom(lol).Which is pretty much what they both want!
  16. The rig I have now.Half off Javelin for winning Z-hills tracking contest.PD 113 at production cost(working in industry)and $1,000 for 1st "Jedei Sweptwing 97"!Oh by the way I had money taken out of my Air Time ck every week until I paid it off.rob
  17. Great Idea.The rabbit wants 1.TY for taking the time.Tony you lucky dog!(lol)I will contact the ladies here and do my best to reserve the calendar.rob.
  18. Hey ya'all, we here at West Point held a Texas hold-em tournament to raise money for the cause.$20 to get in,included beer & pizza.We had sooooo much fun sat. night that we hope to do it 1 a month until sept.It helped that I kicked everybody's ass and donated half my winnings($75)for the cause.They are gunning for the rob(rabbit)now!
