Dude! Did you know my ex-wife??? "If all you ever do is all you ever did, then all you'll ever get is all you ever got."

130 plus:3:0 130 plus canopies I saw in the air at once for Texas State Record attempts... that was awesome! I made 3 jumps Friday, a couple of fun 2 ways with the young son of one of the guys on the record attempts... and a solo at the end of the day that I had both an ugly opening, and an ugly landing on, and wished afterwards that I had just started drinking earlier and saved the 20 bucks... oh well, the first two jumps made up for it! Took my whuffo g/f friend out Saturday to watch the record attempts... she had fun, and was impressed by it all too! Congrats to all the awesome jumpers that set a new Texas State Record this weekend!!! "If all you ever do is all you ever did, then all you'll ever get is all you ever got."

Just one if you know the right people! "If all you ever do is all you ever did, then all you'll ever get is all you ever got."

C'mon Mary, it's not even supposed to hit 100 degrees this weekend... that's not hot! I'll be out to watch and cheer them on, heat or no heat! "If all you ever do is all you ever did, then all you'll ever get is all you ever got."

I got paid to drink beer once. Part of a market research study, and I swear, I literally got paid to drink beer, and give them my opinions on it. It's rare, but I have to tell you, it's really good work when you can get it. "If all you ever do is all you ever did, then all you'll ever get is all you ever got."

I absolutely, positively, believe in something... Someday, I may figure out exactly what that something is. In the mean time, I try to remember to be thankful for everything something has given me, all the great things I've gotten to experience in this, the most bizarre of all adventures, life. "If all you ever do is all you ever did, then all you'll ever get is all you ever got."

pop-up hell! You can also get a pop-up blocker for IE if you want to continue to use it... I'd point you the way to them, but I'm using Mozilla Firebird currently, so I have no need for such external programs... "If all you ever do is all you ever did, then all you'll ever get is all you ever got."

{repackaging Texas heat into healing vibes} there, that should do it! Get Well SOON! "If all you ever do is all you ever did, then all you'll ever get is all you ever got."

remind me not to jump with you at AOT... "If all you ever do is all you ever did, then all you'll ever get is all you ever got."

RSL stands for 'reserve static line', which is what it actually is... a static line that connects your cutaway system with your reserve deployment system, enabling a cutaway to automatically activate (pull) your reserve parachute... The primary advantage to an RSL is quicker reserve deployment... proponents to the system will tell you that you stand a greater chance of survival in a low cutaway situation with one... and they'd be right. The primary disadvantage is that you don't always want a quicker reserve opening... people jumping high performance canopies don't favor the RSL because of the relatively violent nature of a malfuntion on a HP canopy... they spin really fast, and pitch and yaw quite a bit. It takes a second or two to get stable and pull after a cutaway, and a (relatively) stable position at pull time is important... As always, your milage may vary. Your best bet is to talk to qualified instructors at your dropzone, and make an informed decision based on their input. for the record, I jump one. But I also jump a really big, docile canopy, that's not likely to have a violent spin-up on opening... And I'll bet there will be one, on the gear you use for AFF... "If all you ever do is all you ever did, then all you'll ever get is all you ever got."

I am coming, just to see Amazon and Val duke it out! Well, and to meet the rest of you crazies! I might even jump. kevin922 bbarnhouse AggieDave LouDiamond SkyMonkeyOne KatieBear Deuce Viking Freeflyz boyfalldown girlfalldown BigBen prepheck Amazon Vallerina+1 Cute Girl :-) Remster +1 Cute wife; +1 moose for Justin jfields vt1977 + 1 gremlin Mouth Cornholio bwilling "If all you ever do is all you ever did, then all you'll ever get is all you ever got."

I don't believe it. Prove it. I don't know how the post whores do it... I can barely keep up with reading the posts... let alone adding to most of them! "If all you ever do is all you ever did, then all you'll ever get is all you ever got."

Wow! I can't wait to meet everyone at Eloy! That should be a hoot! "If all you ever do is all you ever did, then all you'll ever get is all you ever got."

Holy shit! First off, very heads up work Bill... Second, somebody please find that girl, and give her the bowling talk! Just out of curiosity, do you, as a load organizer at an event like WFFC, ask to see log books to verify the number of jumps that someone 'claims' to have? "If all you ever do is all you ever did, then all you'll ever get is all you ever got."

wow - the f-bomb! Tell us how you really feel Wendy! "If all you ever do is all you ever did, then all you'll ever get is all you ever got."

Just for the record Sebass1...errr I mean Sebazz1, my slow flying boat is not in the pattern with your pocket rocket! Some of us are smart enough to play nice with our big canopies... and you can have the beer line brother, it's all yours! "If all you ever do is all you ever did, then all you'll ever get is all you ever got."

I'm there with ya sistah... my Spectre is the shiznit! Now I know what was wrong with that Sabre I had... too many damn cells! "If all you ever do is all you ever did, then all you'll ever get is all you ever got."

I have it now, and it is quite useful. I've viewed it a number of times already, and I'm pretty certain that I could learn to propack using this video, and nothing else... It's actually a lot clearer in some areas than the previous instruction that I had received live, and in person... and it cost me nothing! All I did was email PD and inquire about it, and they sent it to me! PD rocks! Thanks Gillian! "If all you ever do is all you ever did, then all you'll ever get is all you ever got."

This is the best advice that you'll get concerning choosing a canopy. It's the only way that you can make an educated decision about which canopy will be best for you. That said, I bought a Spectre, and love it. But you'll also find lots of people that love their canopies too, and they won't all be Spectres... "If all you ever do is all you ever did, then all you'll ever get is all you ever got."

and it's easy enough to acquire... I emailed PD, told them I'd bought a used Spectre, and they sent me one right out! I should have it in a bit, and I'll let you know what I think of it... I am gonna learn to pro-pack, I swear! "If all you ever do is all you ever did, then all you'll ever get is all you ever got."

dude, that so rocks!!! way to go! I once dated (and am still friends with) a gal that had lost something like 140lbs! I know how hard I've hard to work to lose a measly 40 pounds, so I have the utmost respect and admiration for people who have lost massive amounts of weight like that! "If all you ever do is all you ever did, then all you'll ever get is all you ever got."

You don't see this every day... only the geeks will really appreciate this. you know who you are. "If all you ever do is all you ever did, then all you'll ever get is all you ever got."

me too! And Mark's correct, it was 260sf. Man, I loved that canopy! "If all you ever do is all you ever did, then all you'll ever get is all you ever got."

damn girl, you been watching too much 'doggy fizzle' on the tvizzle... "If all you ever do is all you ever did, then all you'll ever get is all you ever got."

ROFLMAO! I could go start some shit about Bruno's 55sf canopy if you wanted me too... I saw it at Skyfest, and it's about the same size as the slider on my big Spectre! too funny! "If all you ever do is all you ever did, then all you'll ever get is all you ever got."
