  1. I think livendive still does... (wear socks with Tevas that is...) I don't know whether he still wears them while skydiving... I have worn Tevas and I have even jumped barefoot... but those jumps were on days when I knew I was 99% sure I would land in the beautiful grass landing area and could stop my canopy (because of good winds) I don't however generally like to do it on the off chance that I will be forced to land off field... in somewhere other then the beautiful sod farm we have to land in...
  2. initially my stuff didn't match but now it does.....but it is something that has happened over time as i have gotten new gear over the last couple of years.

  3. I had sworn to myself that I was not going to read any more of your posts until you had made a jump. However, your posting above was so entertaining I had to thank you for the laugh. Let's see... == only 90 minutes to two great turbine dropzones, == only 90 minutes to a vertical wind tunnel == jumpable weather year-round. I am still struggling to understand what the problem is. I would hazard a guess that 95% of jumpers in the world lack at least one of these three things (if not ALL of them). Bitch less, jump more. I only bitch because I dont drive. since moving to LA 1 year ago ive only put 43 miles on my car. I ride my bike everywhere. Guess i gotta get over it but it still sucks
  4. Before having your heart set on one particular rig maybe sample different canopies/containers; people have a lot of different preferences. For instance....i love my infinity, my hubby has a javelin and hates my infinity. Why the rush to worry about gear when your not licensed?

  5. I really like sebastian, zhills and lake wales ---- that may not be helpful but all three are great places to jump. DPH # 2 "I am not sure what you are suppose to do with that, but I don't think it is suppose to flop around like that." ~Skootz~ I have a strong regard for the rules.......doc!
  6. yeah.....i missed out on the MJ jumps last year due to the knee ..... have lots to make up for The nice thing about LP is there is so much other stuff to see and do - it isn't strictly about the jumping but the scenery from the sky and the ground sure is nice.

  8. blow fire......doc may tell you stories about me with everclear...he recently learned about me taking everclear to school in jr. high - what can i say, i misbehaved then and i continue to do so now.

  9. baby......you seem to misbehave no matter what. Let the spankings begin DPH # 2 "I am not sure what you are suppose to do with that, but I don't think it is suppose to flop around like that." ~Skootz~ I have a strong regard for the rules.......doc!
  10. Ohhh me! Me! Me! I wanna pass the barbie!!!!! Yippee!!! Doc and Cindy - I think I'll try and come up early Thursday morning. What time are you guys going to get started? The flip game.....is that flip cup?? If so.....be prepared!!!!!!! I totally rock at that game! The other thing we can do is Cardinal Puff. Old time skydiver drinking ritual. There would need to be another Cardinal there which I'm sure I'll be able to find! Wahoo!!!! I am totally excited!!! This post just made my afternoon! Edited: Sorry...I will give my Shift+1 button back. I blame it on the GREAT weather we are having today. yes....that is the flip cup game. we will head out to the dz on thursday and set up camp ect.....it will be a great weekend of fun and games and DPH # 2 "I am not sure what you are suppose to do with that, but I don't think it is suppose to flop around like that." ~Skootz~ I have a strong regard for the rules.......doc!
  11. nah!!! Just wanted them to be a surprise. I knew you planned on coming over but just in case but PMS jumps by Amazon....who wants to pass the barbie ??? Well sign me up! We are also talking about hoop jumps, 4 way scrambles or 8 way speed stars - of course weather here can be tricky so we have some obstacle course ideas, twister (nekkid), limbo, flip ( a drinking game worse than quarters), and texas hold'em to help keep those of us with short attention spans well...entertained. AS a test.. I did the tunnel in Denver for an hour... the shoulder heald up perfectly well..... but every freakin muscle in my upper body is screaming at me every time I move... tunnel time kicks my ass way worse than jumping ---- just in my experience at least. I get done doing tunnel and I am done for the day...time for a glass of wine. i heard molllala is bringing a big group...hear anything from the interstate skydivers? I think i could actually land there after our fiasco landing in sebastian this last winter. Itried callin Jeremy.. but no call back... so I will let ya know... if nothing else we HAVE to get some salmon..and Dungeness this year...
  12. You should become a TI instead - I bet *all* your students would look relaxed on the video. they at least would have good neck support...but overall a bad idea....have you seen the way i land DPH # 2 "I am not sure what you are suppose to do with that, but I don't think it is suppose to flop around like that." ~Skootz~ I have a strong regard for the rules.......doc!

  14. I almost always pack my own rig...the only exception is if we are at a boogie and doing over 6 jumps a day --- then i get a little tired and use extra help.... my opinion is packing allows you to get to know your canopy and develop a system of things to look for. but take that with a grain of salt - i am by means an instructor and my jump numbers are low --- it is merely how i feel about my canopy. i have had a couple of bad openings using packers....but i have also done it to myself. And i am neurotic enough that is if i don't like how it packed....it comes out again and i start all over DPH # 2 "I am not sure what you are suppose to do with that, but I don't think it is suppose to flop around like that." ~Skootz~ I have a strong regard for the rules.......doc!

  22.

So when it is jump time....it is time for some serious getting crazy.
