  1. I was 24 when my daughter was born and 27 when my son came along, I am 42 now and my 15 year old son packs on the weekend for money and has 2 skydives to his credit. He is even a dropzone.com member skydiven4fun-jr Still here after all these years Clayton

  4. Welcome to the sport, Your so right about the people you have and will meet. As you continue to skydive you will continue to build a long list of awsome friends. and as for money, being broke is not that bad as long as your getting to jump and your rig is paid for.

  5. I pust over 800 jumps on a Diablo and still own my 150, I load it at around 1.8 and It was and still is an awsome canopy, I have a new rig that I have a 120 Xaos, and without a doubt It totaly rocks, But I still use my second rig on a regular basis and get really good swoops out of it. Nothing like my Xaos mind you, but In the right hands a good pilot can get respectable swoops out of a diablo, anyone that say's different probably has not ever jumped one for any length of time.

  7. Dude you really need to wake up on this, I just got through burying my best friend who slammed in and he had close to 1500 skydives and was an excelent canopy pilot. Still here after all these years Clayton
  8. I would like to say to everyone that I have lost my best friend, He was a person that words cannot describe and I am in deep pain with his loss, My life will never be the same without Scotty here anymore, I have never felt the way that I do right now and I hope that I never feel this way again. It is hard, I don't know what to say. He was a one of a kind exceptional individual that I will never forget. I will continue to skydive as long as God let's me cause Scotty would have done the same. I would like to tell everyone that the skydiving world lost a man that loved this sport as much as I know all of you do, and he will be missed very much. I hope that the pain will go away soon cause it is very hard to deal with. I Loved Scotty very much and will always love him. God Bless you Scotty may your skies always be blue. I will see you again my friend. Still here after all these years Clayton
  9. This Boogie looks like it's going to be a southern Fried Drop zone .commers party Still here after all these years Clayton
  10. Good One, Yeah Kreg are you gonna line up a new ride just in case yours don't survive again. Maybe we can get someone to bring a 4 wheeler for back up. Still here after all these years Clayton
  11. Make reservations at the Ramada if you stay at a hotel it's the newest and is very very nice, and resonable but make sure you make reservation and tell them your a skydiver to get the discount rate Still here after all these years Clayton
  12. Hey, I am offshore and at work and since I don't do anything I have nothing better to do. Sad But true I get paid to do this. Still here after all these years Clayton
  13. One thing you just about count on, We show no favoritism for what day we skydive and party on at Gold Coast, So you wont miss out on much. Still here after all these years Clayton
  14. Mel, How do you any work done, Your on here more than me Still here after all these years Clayton
  15. I was told by a skydiver ( Ron Walker ) when I first started skydiving that the secret to this sport is longevity. I don't think you put it any better than that. Still here after all these years Clayton

  17. Hey maybe you will get lucky, Who knows. I wonder why they are not showing it in London. Still here after all these years Clayton
  18. Me and a few friends that I jump with went and saw it last July in New Orleans at the river walk I max. It was a very well produced film and well worth going to see if you can. I really enjoyed it. Still here after all these years Clayton
  19. The Triathalon is a very good canopy, But so is the Sabre, Also Aerodyne just came out with a new container that looks like it might be a a good deal. I have not seen one yet though. But either way both of the canopies you mentioned are good choices. Still here after all these years Clayton
  20. Don't say that too loud. I don't know if Mike has seen the video. Still here after all these years Clayton
  21. Oh by the way add me to the list. I forgot to say that. Still here after all these years Clayton
  22. The Mardi Gras boogie is definitly a whole lot of fun. But just so everyone knows, I think Mike has decided that there will be no Mud riding in the landing area at night this year. Still here after all these years Clayton
  23. He's hooked. I can tell from the way he described it. Still here after all these years Clayton
  24. I could not have said it better myself.
  25. I can relate, But I have never got to the point that I wanted to quit. There is so many things that go on at the drop zone sometimes and it can get depressing at times. I work offshore so that gives me the break I need. I have learned that the people you think are your friends are not always so, and when you finally get that picture it can make you want to take a break or go somewhere else and jump for a while. I have seriously been thinking about changing where I jump lately just for those reasons, But not give it up all together. Stick it out or try somewhere else for a while.
