  1. Anyone ever been to Skydive Peru? I will be in Peru for 10 days next week and want to know if it would be worthwhile to go an do a jump or two there.....
  2. First jump? Wonder how we was feeling about gearing up for #2!
  3. Kauai is beautiful......you will have a great time SCUBA diving but certainly try to do a jump if you can. Book it early in the morning when winds are not a factor and then enjoy SCUBA the rest of the day.
  4. Does anyone know if Skydive Cape Cod is still flying with their 206?
  5. Did someone have to get paid-off to allow the boogie to continue? http://www.mexicomatters.net/retirementmexico/04_bribeslamordidainmexico.php "LA MORDIDA", translation "the bite" is the term used for a bribe in this country. It is the traditional and customary way of getting things done. The bureaucrat who does your bidding takes a bite out of the cost of completing your objective. Mexican reformers are trying to change this condition with little success. It is so institutionalized that it could take decades before the situation changes appreciably. Bribing a cop, a judge or a permit agent is not the exclusive domain of Mexico. News stories about bribery scandals in the United States are not uncommon but in Mexico it is a way of life instead of an aberration in the system.
  6. Most stores have a policy that anything over a certain dollar amount requires a signature check. This is especially true at a store like Best Buy that sells expensive electronics. I am sure it is their policy to check.....the stupid uneducated 19 old know nothing minimum wage clerk probably forgot. That is why I don't shop there.....I agree "fuck 'em".
  7. Er...perhaps you should have her set aside $5,000 or so.....you will probably end up wanting 2 suits and will need a little extra scratch left over to make a ton of flights with your new toys
  8. I was showing the video to a few whuffos at work and they were all very amused by James' comment near the end "...very tight, like my sister".
  9. I was signed up until this week but had to cancel due to work and travel issues. I was really looking forward to flocking with Scott and the West Coast birds. If you go have a blast!
  10. Maybe everyone who wants him to finish the video quickly should send him some scratch on PayPal or buy him a jumop ticket or two? A little incentive might help move up the release date
  11. I love my Spectre for WS. I almost got a Sabre2 but after doing a few Demo's on a Spectre I was sold. Great openings and no issues if opening in line twists.
  12. She won't need to be a genius...the pass rate is about 70%. Anyone who does a little studying and is motivated will pass. Good luck!
  13. Totally agree with Jarno. Why is everyone focused on whether it was a "record" or not? ...it just looked like a fun event that got some positive media attention. BTW, the Skysisters website is quite nice....check it out: http://www.skysisters.com.au ...I love the intro when the chicks sprout wings.
  14. Oh shit that's right....Purple Mike does not shoot video he just is in videos! No worries....we will flock again this summer with video. Justin, Nik, Lurch and others have cameras. I broke mine out last weekend for the first time in a while but the damn thing is on the fritz. See you in the skies soon.
  15. Now you just gotta post some pictures from your flight!
  16. You will definitely have to join us this summer for some flocking. It was awesome to see 5 or 6 first flights this weekend at J-Town...I think the New England flock is going to grow considerably this summer. The "Flock U" crew will definitely be back to Orange this summer but see if you can come and join us a few times at Pepperell....we will be there most weekends. Blue skies and welcome to your new addiction.
  17. I found this story from a Google "skydiving" news alert I set up. Anyone have a pic of this? Nice going bird babes!
  18. Onay icturespay ofway Urplepay Ikemay.....allway etsay!
  19. I hear a rumor that Purple Mike may be around for the weekend. Seems like we will be threatening a 10 way!
  20. Fuck yeah! When will the whole thing be available? Nice choice of music.....
  21. Unfortunately much of the area is a little flooded due to a week of heavy rain. Pepperell does not have a swoop pond....Pepperell now IS a swoop pond! They should be all dried out by next week though. And as soon as Voodew and the Texas birds are done with our Otter after their event this weekend we will have our plane back. Justin and I tried to book flights this weekend to get down there but due to school vacation week there were 0 seats available on any flight Sunday. Oh well....next time. For this weekend slightly soggy New England will have to do!
  22. So....I see they are trying to get their flock on at SD Orange.....who is going to come and play at the "other" Orange this weekend? New England weather also supposed to be pretty nice! Finally!
