I wear three different brands of skate shoes: NikeID (custom built-to-order Nikes), Sketchers, and Vans. All have enough support for me and all have swoopy soles. Want the support of running shoes, but with slick soles? Grind them down! I could never, personally, jump in running shoes. Chuck

Happy birthday, monkey lip!

You poor, poor pitiful girl. I don't know how you can stand it!

Karl, Janet was asking about you yesterday......

We shall have to drunk dial him again!

I jumped.......a LOT.

I skydived....a LOT.

He quit the railroad job? Really?

broken link, John.

Do not stalk my wife online, Karl. I know you don't want cartoons made up about your experiences if you do. PS: where the hell were you this weekend? You missed porkchops on the grill last night.

That's really nice video.

There isn't anything wrong with Bragg, Dan. It's a fantastic duty station. I was assigned to Bragg from 1984-2003; damn near my entire career (7th SFG, 3rd SFG, 2/1 SWTG). The only people who have a problem getting laid in fayetteville are guys with lisps who wear bicycle shorts and hang out at Itz and other gay places.

I think you can learn a ton of stuff so long as your "coach" isn't using your paid time to fuck off and do his own shit. Seriously. If you are paying a coach, the only thing that person needs to be doing is instructing you on the techniques you want to learn. Chuck

Jason "Fruitcake" Peters is an amazing skydiver. He's been a professional swooper since the term was coined, has been on many, many national freefly and freestyle teams, and has been a photographer on all of the big-way formations (freefly and RW) for at least the past six years. He also runs The Arizona Training Center at Eloy. Chuck

I was under the impression that Kevin had already jumped his suit and it tore. I know that this was the first jump on the suit since it got back from the factory.

I have the quilted backpad on both of my W1-2 EXT Wings containers and I like it fine.

Lukas= walking suicide case.

There are at least four porn star/skydivers who post here. There are quite a few people who post here who have been on TV for one thing or another. I guess you just need to better define "celebrity".

Congratulations! Chuck BMCI-4

Scott Miller competed under a stock color velocity in the first "real" (2001) Pond Swoop Nationals video.

that's not entirely accurate. One of the two tandem/video guys that worked there up until the beginning of this year (Mark Sunman, "sunman" on here) said that they would allow poeple with 500 jumps or more to fill a load. Likewise, if there were three up-jumpers in your group and they were not busy with tandems then you could take the plane up. Note: the landing area is tight for very-HP canopies. Not alot of room there. I guess you could land out on the runway though. It's beautiful there.

Not anymore I don't. I don't have time to IM. I don't text message either, so please don't bother ever sending me one (not directed at you, Seth).

I love it here, Harry! I only wish that idiot Motski wouldn't have poured concrete down the well pump to our swoop pond! To Skimmy: yes, if you have a Velo 84 with 340 Technora I want to jump it. To Rhys, or whoever it was that asked about just putting the entire thread back: too late, I permanently shit-canned everything I didn't bring back in the two new threads. Feel free to discuss Team Extreme all you want to, in here or in another thread. Just, please, don't cut and paste from the other site, particuarly the parts which reek of "please buy my canopy". I want to see some actual discussion here. Since Jim said he was not releasing names of the new team, I am going to venture a guess of who I believe the four competitors will be: -Jim -Paul Rouseau (sic?) -Skimmy -Joey Costa That might be totally off-base as three of the four live on "this" coast though. Anyway, that's my current guess since Jimbo isn't spilling the beans. My guess is that it will be revealed at PIA this winter. Chuck

Please, Matt,please post more pics of Purple Mike's deployment! I simply must see more of those! Seriously though, very nice pics.

Dude, that last pic looks great. You should paint your bus in that color pattern!
